A song called Ravenheart

In the fall of 2008 I was inspired to create a monthly gathering, to be held on or around the full moon, called Mystics & Moonlight, inspired by Caroline Myss who, in her book Entering the Castle, calls us to become "mystics without monestaries."

Myss is convinced that there are millions of other people around the world who would like to be mystics without monasteries, answering a calling "to represent an invisible power in the world through a personal spiritual practice, through the power of prayer, through living consciously and practicing compassion, and through becoming a channel for grace." According to Myss, mystics without monasteries ask themselves three questions:

(1) For what reason was I born?
(2) What is the greater purpose and meaning of my life?
(3) How am I meant to be of service?

I thought it would be wonderful to meet in a casual monthly circle, sharing ideas and sacred conversations with other "mystics", learning from and supporting each other, and creating a sacred, safe, peace-filled and inspiring evening of community or "satsang."

Since that time we have gathered with an incredible variety of mystics, energy healers, authors, spiritual seekers, holistic health and nutrition coaches, manifesting masters, mind, body and spirit practioners, Oneness Blessers, Angel readers, EFT'ers past life regressors, musicians, poets, singers and sound healers.

And thanks to Andy McAnally (owner of Causeway Natural Health in Humboldt), a local mystic, healer, ultra marathon runner(yes a Death Racer), musician and song writer...Ravenheart now has a song!

Ravenheart

Friends gather here and pause
Take in the Sacred country charm
Cast your doubts away at Ravenheart Farm
Feel safe, feel wanted, at Ravenheart

And when you go to Ravenheart
Equine delights unfold
Let the horses heal your troubled soul
Feel safe, feel wanted, at Ravenheart

Chorus

Where mystics go when the full moon shines
With the healing horses we'll spend our time
at Ravenheart
We'll gather there with likewise minds
and open our awareness to the Divine
at Ravenheart

She has a vision she wants to share
Feel the love and feel the care
While gathering in the moonlights glare
Feel safe, feel wanted, at Ravenheart

Ravenheart is calling me, it's calling me
Horses don't judge or presume
So we'll gather there at the next full moon
Feel safe, feel wanted at Ravenheart
