GaiaMind Gatherings
Northern and Southern California
Updated - January 20, 1997
The most important thing to remember about the simultaneous meditation
on January 23rd is that it does not matter where you physically are - you
will be with millions of other people in a spirit of shared intention. However,
if you are able to gather with a group on that day, and would like to extend
an invitation to others to join with you, or even just to let others around
the world know that you are joining them, please add your event to the list.
Even a contact number and the intention to meet is enough to put up a listing
- even if you don't know all the details yet.
These are largely email messages cut and pasted into these web pages.
Listings are divided into Northern CA & Southern CA, and then alphabetized.
Please Note: There is often a 24 hour lag between email and posting here.
So, check the "Raw Gatherings" page for new in process listings.
Please format messages in this order: City, State, Message, Contact info.

PEACE-IN LOS ANGELES AND THE WORLD
January 23 rd, 9 am - 5 pm
and
January 25 th, 10 am - 7 pm
At the Old Bandstand at the Historical Plaza of Olvera Street
What do you do for Peace in Los Angeles and the World? We are re-creating
the romance and idealism of the Sixties in a music, dance, and all-around
awareness event. Just the fun part of the Sixties - not the drugs and destruction,
but a rally of love and support for those people and organizations working
toward peace on Earth. The Peace-In will feature the words and music of
special guests, including musicians and religious figures from all faiths.
Activities include musical entertainment, the Peace Wall, the Children's
Demonstration, displays from pro-Earth organizations, the L.A. Mounted Police,
a little poetry and story-telling, and of course, the classic dancing and
face-painting of the sixties. All singles and families are invited to be
part of the festivities. Materials for children's projects will be provided.
Known personalities of the 60s through the 90s are invited to speak, sing,
or otherwise lend talent on the subject of peace. If you can't make it this
year, there will be another one in 1998; please call.

Los Angeles - Griffith Park Observatory
We are several members of a group called Legions of Light, and are located
in Los Angeles. Several of us in conjunction with members of various organizations
that we attend will be joining all of us in meditation on the 23rd. We are
meeting at the Griffith Park Observatory to create a sacred circle for this
meditation. We would like to extend an invitation to all in the Los Angeles
area to meet in this location for this occasion to observe GaiaMind's proposed
5 minute prayer from 9:30-9:35 am followed by a focused one minute visualization
of White Light at 9:35. We will be forming the circle starting at 9 a.m.
to begin anchoring this energy; knowing that this sychronistic alignment
of the Heavens is the Clarion Call to Earth's children to herald in a new
era of celebrating our Unity and Diversity -- as collective and priceless
individuals. Join with the GaiaMind Project and Legions of Light/ The Lights
of the Round Table in this simultaneous Global Meditation and Prayer. Blessed
are we who practice these moments, so that we might have the right to the
tree of Life, and may enter in through the gates into the city of Eternal
Love.
Thank you so much! Love of the Highest to all God's Children,
