2012: The End of the World? Or the Beginning?
By Meryl Ann Butler (about the author) Page 2 of 3 page(s)
Nagual (master teacher) don Jose Ruiz, the son of the famous “The Four Agreements” author, offered a dose of Toltec wisdom generously spiced with humor. He reminded his audience that the ancient leader of the Aztecs fell because he misinterpreted the prophecy of the return of Quetzalcoatl as an event that would happen OUTSIDE of himself, instead of within, inviting the audience to their personal inner journey of re-membering. 
Ruiz also offered a delightful exercise, suggesting recording your own voice when you are happy, chatting into the microphone about uplifting things. Then replay the recording when you are depressed – because what could bring us out of our own depression better than our own happy voice? www.miguelruiz.com
Scientist and author, Brooks A. Agnew, Ph. D., offered insight into sacred geometry, and explained how random numerical cycles ultimately return to the Golden Mean, a mathematical message of hope. He is the host of X-Squared radio. www.x2-radio.com
A film festival, including the film, 2012: We’re In It, was hosted by Elevate Films (www.elevatefilms.com)
A raw food panel was sponsored by the award-winning superfood company, Transition Nutrition (www.TransitionNutrition.com). The panel was emceed by radio host, Laura Fox. Panelist Chad Ashley Vandenburg noted that he believed that the perception of scarcity that is so pervasive in people’s consciousness springs from a cellular level. Since food in the average diet is so lacking in nutrients, our bodies’ cells fight an inner battle for resources, and this inner war translates into the macrocosms of daily and global life. He and others on the panel all related feeling more relaxed, peaceful, and kind, in addition to experiencing more vibrant health, after switching to a nutrient-rich, raw food diet.
The Chocolate Chakra Shakedown event was a cosmic combo of yoga and dance, energized by delicious Bliss Balls, a pure, vibration-raising superfood that offers instant euphoria with no guilt.
Bliss Balls
At five bucks a pop (for a ball the size of a small brownie), I was skeptical. But now, I’m a believer! The raw food Bliss Bar café also offered such delectables as a choco-maca Bliss Shake, and a Neptune Nori roll made of sunflower ginger pate and avocado! www.theblissbar.org
And the Divine Organics Coconut Gelato (a non-dairy "ice cream" - the Chocolate Almond Ecstasy flavor was amazing), the BlissMix (super energizing trail mix with amazing nuts and cacao bits), and out-of-this-world Sacred Cacao Brittle, by Transition Nutrition, were all absolutely to, um, live for! www.transitionnutrition.com (I considered it my journalistic duty to taste everything.)
Faith Rivera
Ascended belly dancing performances and a class were offered by effervescent Nicole Whitney (www.BellydanceWithMe.com) and the stunning Emmy-award winner Faith Rivera lit up the room with a rockin’ version of Kumbaya like you’ve never heard before. www.faithrivera.com
Cloudwalking CD by Stewart St. John
Award-winner, Stewart St. John was the last event on Saturday night, after a long, full day. Those who stayed til the end were rewarded handsomely with the surprise treasure of the weekend: Stewart’s music was a feel good mix; mellow, transcendant, energizing, happy, and centering, inspiring both joyful dancing as well as quietly blissful introspection. www.stewartstjohnlight.com
Rassouli's paintings and Rumi translations grace his calendar.
Fusionart movement founder, Rassouli, offered images of his uplifting artwork in multimedia presentations, as well as a Fusionart room, where accomplished artists as well as novices romped in creativity together during the weekend. When Stewart St. John’s Cloudwalker CD was played in the room, the artists noticed a delightful change in the feeling of the room, enhancing their creativity. A number of Rassouli’s followers, including Lily Nava and Roy Smith, participated in the Fusionart room and also had artworks on display in the gallery area. www.fusionartinternational.com
