Celebrate Worldwide Water Day

Today is worldwide Water Day. Give thanks today for  our Mother's precious gift of water. Perform a water ceremony. Donate to an organization looking to bring potable water to those lacking clean water. Here are a few to consider:

Water,org: Founded by Gary White and Matt Damon it has brought water to millions around the world.

Water for Humanity:Part of the American Society of Dowsers it has been helping people around the world for 23 years find and get clean water.

Earth Water Alliance: Formed by former members of the ASD and its Water For Humanity group. Most notably Steve Herbert, a former Peace Corp Volunteer who founded Water for Humanity.

Here is a clip from and interview Water.org founders Gary White and Matt Damon did with CBS this morning:

More Love Given and Found at the Peacemaker's Sanctuary

Much love was felt and left at the  Peacemaker's Sanctuary last Friday April 15th.

Tim Hart led us in a powerful water ceremony that had us giving thanks and better appreciating this gift (water) from Mother Earth. The water we had scooped up into a vessel and blessed was later returned to the lake.

I led a meditation focusing on the attributes, or imprint we look to nurture at the Peacemaker's Sanctuary--a place of healing, a place of sanctuary during troubling times, a place of answers and revelation, a place to connect with Mother Earth.

Each time I hear a story of the power of Onondaga Lake, and the Peacemaker's Sanctuary in particular, to heal I am amazed. This time it was how years early someone  had found the bench at the Peacemaker's Sanctuary at a time of concern and returned now to realize the solution to their problem.

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO PRAY OR MEDITATE AT THE LOCATION WHERE OUR NEW BENCH WILL BE PLACED IN THE PEACEMAKER'S SANCTUARY, IT IS MARKED WITH RED TAP IN FRONT OF A LARGE TREE. IT IS A POWERFUL PLACE, NO VORTEX, CREATED LONG AGO THROUGH SPIRITUAL PRACTICES. WHEN YOU MEDITATE OR PRAY WITHIN IT YOU TAP INTO THAT CONSCIOUSNESS, THAT PERSON'S BEING. REMINISCENT OF HOW I BEGIN VORTICES AND SPIRALS TALKING ABOUT A VORTEX I FOUND ON A MOUNTAINTOP IN VERMONT. OVER TIME THIS SPACE WILL BECOME FUSED WITH NEW CONSCIOUSNESS--SO GO THERE SOON!

Directions: Take the Van Fleck/ State Fair Blvd exit off of Rte 690, west of the Fairgrounds. Turn onto State Fair Blvd heading towards the city of Syracuse. In Lakeland take a left onto Beach Street, Empower Credit is at the corner on the right side. Follow Beach until it ends at Iona. Take a left and park on the grass on the right side.

The Peacemaker’s Sanctuary is on the west shore trail of Onondaga lake, near the Beach Street overpass (rte. 690.) From Beach Street cross the railroad tracks and walk across the overpass. Turn left onto a gravel path; soon you will connect with an asphalt path, keep going straight. Look for a clearing and a bench on your right, lake side (about 100-150 yards.) you will see a water duct inletting into the lake to the right of the bench. If you look directly across you will see a large water tower. There is no placard on the wooden bench. See Map.

Please note that the closest bathroom is where the West Shore Trail connects with the Seneca River.
