Join me ( Margaret-Mary Farr) and have some fun creating Sacred Geometry / colouring in using my hand made mineral and plant paints made from local minerals/ rocks and plants.
This initiative comes out of a need to support the Anthroposophical centre, to encourage the art of sacred geometry and to create a space to create and work artistically in this beautiful space.

Dear HB Anthroposhical Community,
Yours Gratefully
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Instructions before visiting Earth
by James McCrae
In the event that you wake up
and find your soul separated from source
and manifest into material form, don’t panic,
your condition is only temporary.
You have been selected for the opportunity
of human incarnation.
This 3D simulation is designed
to break up the monotony of eternity
by giving you a fully immersive experience
as a distinct ego identity.
Your body will serve
as your physical avatar
as you navigate a dense and dramatic reality.
There will be many distractions
causing you to forget your true nature and origin.
You will experience a range of emotions
from joy, to loneliness to despair.
But remember - no matter
what trials and traumas you encounter,
your soul remains perfectly safe.
At times you may feel lost or afraid.
This is totally normal.
If you ever need guidance,
simply slow down your busy mind
and bring your awareness
to the quiet place
inside yourself.
On this planet, nothing is permanent.
People and things will come and go.
You will fall in love and form sentimental attachments
only to lose everything you hold dear.
So, cling to nothing too tightly, even yourself,
and when it’s time to let go, let go with grace,
for nothing is owned, only borrowed.
As you walk among
The people on the planet,
Try to be a good guest.
Tread lightly. Remember
That you are only visiting.
Don’t make a mess.
Listen more than you speak.
Give more that you take.
Don’t keep your soft heart
locked inside a glass cage,
protected from wear and tear.
You’ll never make it out alive
and time passes quickly.
So come back with some battle scars
and good stories to tell.
