Creative Australia has released the results of the 2022 National Arts Participation Survey.  It’s the first comprehensive study of Australians’ engagement with arts and creativity since the disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results reinforce just how important arts, culture and creativity are for helping us through difficult times.  Dr Georgie McClean, Executive Director Development and Partnerships, at Creative Australia provides us with insight.

Made up of lawyers, arts workers and students the committee hosts casual events for both lawyers and artists that provide networking opportunities and raise money and support for Arts Law.  Lee Elsdon, Deputy Chair, Hearts For Arts Law Fundraising Committee tells us more.

Program 43 - 23 Arts Friday on Eastside

There are some stories that unfold over time and take looking beyond each individual moment into the way life is unified and whole.  There is no official beginning and no end, only accented moments that peak up to he noticed periodically along a continuum.  

I attended Izzy Ivy’s Etheric Wings of Light workshop at Soul Connections crystal store in Mt. Shasta City several weekends ago.  Perhaps at the time, I thought I was doing something fun and new (have not taken an art creation retreat before).  As it flows, this was a cathartic process necessary for restoration and repair of my wings.  You see, I had sturdy flaming joy wings  of Crystaline plasma etheric luminescent light.  My last mission was a rough one that required moving through some narrow passageways along with quick maneuvers and took around 6 years to complete.  My wings became a little damaged  and have been out of commission unknowingly for some time.  

Lately, my feet hurt.  I am not used to walking.  I have been climbing peak to peak spending long phases in the valley gaining the energy to climb up the next mountain.  Everything was a challenge.  

On one of my valley floor explorations after communing with the frequency of Rose, I went to visit a tall tear dropped shaped cedar tree where I met a baby bird who was learning to fly.  If you have been following my story, perhaps you recall the video from a few weeks ago.  This meeting with the Robin Fledgling was about 2 weeks after I made the decision to sign up for Izzy Ivy’s retreat.  

The universe has a sense of humor.  The Robin meeting was touching and moved me deeply.  I did not fully get the extent to what degree….until Mt. Shasta.  I presume, that the story is still unfurling. 

To read the full story, I invite you to brew some tea and read my blog post: Learning to Fly!

Just for added confirmation that something is unfolding here… Saturday I drew one card and….. it was the Robin card.  

I am definitely looking with eyes wide open.  This video presents an activation opportunity.

While at Shasta, I stayed at the Rainbow Bridge which is a sacred healing retreat space.
