'Ai Malama comes to Whidbey Island: wakening the magnetic effects of Hina (the Moon)

This is the sound of Ke Kai (the ocean) reminding us that we are water, the ocean reflecting the sound of water within the Earth and in ourselves. Ahhhh ... look up, look down, look within.

Pete and I are headed for our favorite beach on Sunday, September 27, 2015. A Mahealani moon, and a night of the Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Aries. It's just after sunset (check the time on the dash clock).

It has been a fully infused and wakened time all weekend as our small group (of 10) gathering at South Whidbey Tilth for the live streaming event 'AIMALAMA.

We needed the quiet and stillness of Heron to feel the immensity and empowerment, the heroic examples of Pacific Peoples' involved in Kilo (mindful and attentive observation) of the things happening in their place.

Here's our Sign-in Sheet from the three-day conference (with harvest hiding email addresses). This and a summary of our mana'o will be sent to the organizers of the Honolulu-based Pacific Lunar Conference; adding our Whidbey Island Community into the fold as northern 'ohana also keen to the effects of climate changes and the need to readapt to what we experience now.

I will be writing a summary response sheet, gathering feedback from those who viewed the three-day conference here on Whidbey Island. There is more to come, and what next steps we take as a community is part of the future heroic and meaningful action we can take!

Mahalo to all our community members who came to be with us, and helped make 'Ai Malama on Whidbey a reality!
