BE IN JOY!
Enjoying being the country in the glorious weather is not exactly it. It is truly about being IN JOY! If you are feeling sad or lonely the very best remedy I know is walking through the wild flowers at this time of year. Nature is at her finest and when you lose yourself in Her your mood will change. It is easy to let go into the arms of Nature and find yourself in a better frame of mind before you even notice the change! I am pushing myself to keep up with emails and office work because the pull to be outside is mighty! We have a new flock of sweet baby chicks…don’t miss that magic. Bring the kids or just you and feel the joy that is blossoming everywhere! We will be Juice Fasting this weekend so have a full house but you are always invited to walk the grounds…hurry quick before the chiggers come out!
Catch the excitement,
Robin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Activity!!!
Lots is happening here with our new community taking shape and doing lots of organizing in the gardens, grounds and buildings! We are learning the consensus process of decision making and learning how we can work together to support everyone’s gifts and talents. We welcome you to visit and join in the fun! We love volunteers and neighbors with big tractors and lots of know-how! Thanks to Tammy for moving the big swing set!!
Camping outdoors and backpacking into the back woods: suggested love offering $10/night.
For indoor camping/use of the barn suggested love offering is $25/night.
Sometimes work exchange is possible, so please ask.
For outdoor and backpack camping people need to bring their own drinking water & supplies.
Fires may be set only in designated fire pits and not at all during drought periods or burn bans.
A shovel will be provided and we ask that any waste you leave in the woods be well buried, including toilet paper.
Insects spray is advised during tick and chigger season!
FAIRIES, CHICKS AND BABY GOATS!!!
WOW isn’t spring wonderful and EARLY too! We have a chicken sitting on eggs so will update you on her progress! Two baby goats arrive in a month or so…just born! And the Nature Spirits are hard at work turning the woods into a fairy land! Isn’t spring just the very best thing? Claim your very own NEW BEGINNING! All of Nature is doing it and so can we. We had a board retreat and explored the assumptions that are limiting us from going all out for our highest potential. Sometimes we don’t even notice the faulty assumptions that stop us from moving ahead…all of that “not good enough” type of inner voice. It is actually the simplest thing to choose a new assumption! When we went around the circle it was clear that we are all moving intentionally to become all that we came here to be!
The Light Center is blessed to have a mighty group of powerful women on the board now. We are grateful for their ideas, inspiration and great energy! Here we are at the retreat:
Sending big love from your board,
Standing: Samantha Peterson, Kristen Metcalf, Juda Lewis,
Seated: Stephanie Thomas, Tammy Ritter, Christee Thoman (with Myara)
Robin Goff and Joni Fornelli
The Fairy Fair is Coming…
Won’t you join in? Fairy houses, fairy crafts, food vendors, booths, music, camping, May pole dancing and lots of family fun!
May 12 & 13
Let’s get our children out into Nature! The fairies are calling us!

Stepping Forward to Lead…
What a vibrant group of thoughtful, dedicated people showed up to explore being intentional leaders for the way ahead. It fills my heart! Many thanks to Caryn, Ken and Estrella for their expert facilitation as we all emerge from the chrysalis of change. If you are reading this you are an agent of change for these times and I know you are with us as we grow together.
  
Spring ahead into your highest purpose now…it is time,
Robin
Power Packed
The New Leaders of the new Earth are coming into alignment with their purpose and are stepping into their power. The Light Center community is forming with an awesome group of young people assembling who are making a conscious choice to be in a shared living situation. We meet every week and process all that we are doing, thinking, feeling and visioning. It is a magical thing to come together with a strong intention of creating new ways to live together in harmony. Interconnectedness is the next great learning curve for us as Americans especially. Sharing resources, skills and talents is an important step toward sustainability as our world changes rapidly around us.
This coming weekend we welcome more of the Emerging Leaders in our area as we come together to learn more about consensus and Non-Violent Communication. The old structures will have to shift to make room for the power that is coming through our new leaders. It is not the old school power of guns, wars and dominance. It is a gentle power that comes from the one true Source of the greatest power that there is. Coming through thoughtful, conscious beings it can create more than we have even dared to imagine!
And may the Force be with you,
Robin
EVEN CROCUSES!!!
Oh My! Crocuses! Surely, this has been the winter of the endless spring! We may as well love it because it is what is! Even if winter has more excitement in store for us, we are preparing for spring workshops and are itching to get into the gardens! Almost potato planting time! Yahoo! Our little community is growing fast and we are meeting weekly as we explore ways to live in a co-creative and mutually supportive way. You can be a part of all we are doing even if it is not time for you to live in the country. The Emerging Leaders workshop is coming up in just 2 weeks and is drawing a lovely group of change agents who know they are here to change this weary world into something vibrant that supports life! You are an Emerging Leader, if you know you are! Join in one day or both…even en Friday night is open to enjoy the evening in the countryside, bonfire, and meeting great people!
These statements were written years ago but are so relevant today:
Our Mission: Trailblazing new paths for living in spiritual harmony.
Our Vision for TLC:To be a clear channel for healing light to reconnect people to their hearts, that we may live in oneness on the sacred earth.
YOU are welcome here,
Robin
Thank you Valentines!
Thanks to everyone who came out to play on Saturday for our FUNRAISER day! David Yarrow shared his magic once again, children laughed and played endlessly and we danced in Sacred Circles with young and old alike. Big thanks to leadersLinda Chubbuck and Stan Slaughter, who brought us dances inspired by their recent Findhorn experience.
The Silent Auction picked up steam as the evening went on after dancing and we raised $610! Yahoo!
Your contributions will help us navigate the quieter winter months and keep our wonderful programs going here and in South Africa!
THANKS to everyone who helped out!
WE LOVE YOU TOO!
Spring Again? Still?
We can’t question what is! I don’t know any way to change it back to winter and make the ground freeze hard enough to kill off some of the bug population who are no doubt thinking they are vacationing in Florida this winter! And so we go on learning how to grow food even with erratic weather and healthy crops of insects! This week a small kitten left the farm to a new home and Kristen moved into the house. She is eagerly awaiting the arrival of her “roommates” Beregen and Caitlyn. We are all working together in weekly meetings and are posting those notes in the website if you are interested in following. It is a time of growth and visioning as we come together as a new family of Heart Centered Living. We have so much to learn but with the energy of springtime upon us we are gearing up to plant and grow together! A NEW BEGINNING is always a wonderful gift to give yourself! It is free for the taking and always right there waiting for you to grab it. Penny Kelly taught us to gaze at the early morning sun when it is first rising and drink in that energy…Try it sometime, it feels wonderful! While we never know what is around the bend these days, every day is an opportunity to start again, choose again and claim all that you can imagine to create for your life and this little planet. Don’t be fooled by the news! Be fed by the new sun rising every day and drink in the LIGHT OF HOPE,
Robin
Our Process of Change is flowing
We are so happy with the flow of people coming forward to be involved at TLC! This week we welcome Kristen Metcalf-Osterhaus to our family and to her new home here. We have also officially welcomed 2 male cats and taken them to be neutered today. There is one cute little female kitten too if anyone knows of a good home for her…maybe 4 to 6 months old. She arrived here very hungry and scared! I am sure she would love a new safe home!
We are so grateful for all of the donations and support that are flowing to us. It is such a help through this transition period! Please do join us for any part of the day this Saturday from 1pm to 10pm as we play, sing, dance and celebrate our love for you!
Thank you for being a Valentine for TLC! See you Saturday with your instrument and boogie shoes!

THANKS!
WE LOVE YOU TOO!
It is a powerful time of manifestation. We talked about needing cats to be better mousers and three showed up right away! Let’s all keep that in mind as we move into this year of rapid change: every thought we think is manifesting rapidly. If everyone of us focuses our thoughts on out picturing the highest good moment by moment then the magic will unfold with ease. It is my intention to HOLD THE LIGHT OF HOPE IN EVERYTHING I DO. Will you join me in that and each time you hear a negative thought in your head or pessimistic words spoken from your mouth, stop immediately and correct your thought. The energy is such now that you and I can create a very amazing new world that works for all. Do you believe that? If not check your thoughts and think again. Just watch magic happening all around you and prove it to yourself! May the LIGHT OF HOPE fill your every day in this new year.
Robin
Lest we wonder if the climate is changing it is now 65 degrees outside and we have all of the doors open!
We are all enjoying a wonderful burst of spring activity here in the woods…Adam, Christee and Matt are moving things around, stacking wood for the colder days ahead and hanging wash on the line. Oh what a way to start January! Yahoo. Come on out if you get spring fever!

| Hello from Inside The Light Center! Wow! So much has happened and so much continues to evolve. Since Robin has been in Africa Such change continues to take place, not only in our daily lives, but also on the property. Spirit, Mind, and body are aligning. With these alignments comes different view points and lessons..ergg lessons sometimes I say, but as they flow through me…when I am allowing, I am always blessed by the present. The gift of the new NOW moment that gets to manifest because of the allowing process. We seem to have a choice at every moment. We could choose the hard way or the easy way. Either way we end up where we are suppose to. That is how I ended up here. Every moment that I am here on this property, I am relearning what living truly means. I am relearning how to communicate from my heart space, how to walk in nature, how to listen, how to allow, and release. Every time I open up to what is before me, I get a chance to perceive it in a new light! 11-11-11 was a leap of faith. I choose to believe that we are making a difference. I choose to believe that our energies focused together, united, and strong would be heard and felt. I chose to believe that “we are the change we have been looking for”, and I am thankful to be doing all of this with all of you!Namaste~

| This is a long note!So far Matt, Adam, and I have been holding weekly Light Center meetings at 7:30pm after our potluck, and we decided to make all the meeting notes public for everyone to get to experience these changes with us!
11-7-11
present: George Hartley, Juda, Matt Williams, Christee Thoman, Adam Nathan, Michael Decker,and Davis Yarrow
Matt submitted a proposal for a meeting process for the forming community and we got to work to adjust and agree upon some things. we agreed on the name Heart Center as the name of the community sharing the common space (otherwise known as the house).There is ongoing discussion and clarification of the relationship between the retreat center and the community between Matt and Christee. Matt agreed to be responsible for communicating and writing up an agreement regarding new prospective tenants that want to move in. It was agreed that we (at this point) are not accepting WWofers until we stabilize as a community and create expectations for them before we accept any at this time. This does not refer to volunteers though. We ARE accepting and are consciously trying to manifest volunteers and groups.

Light Center Community Meeting Notes
Recap: since the last meeting alot of meditation and space holding happened. Matt and Christee came into oneness about the differences in vision and relationship of The Light Center and the Eco-village, so instead of the Eco-village being a separate entity they came to realize the oneness.
The Vision: create a model of “Heart Centered Living at The Light Center”.
Mission: We create a culture by honoring the subjective existence of all reality…and that’s far out!
Value:1. We honor the land by using heart centered communication based on nonviolent communication
2. Cooperative decision making, where we value the truth of each perspective and integrate it into agreements everyone can consent to, based of consensus decision making.
3. Creating ceremony in our daily activities
4. Gather harmoniously in common spaces
5.Creating continuous education for ourselves and the communities
We created meeting roles that individuals could choose: Scribe,Facilitator, and Ceremony keeper.
We had a short blessing and meditation held by Adam, we all three facilitated, and Matt took notes.
We wrote down and discussed several other facilitator roles to be listed in detail later.
We discussed our agreements and set and agenda
Closing meditation.
11-10 Heart Centered Living at The Light Center
present: Matt, Adam, Christee
1. Abundance what does that look like to us? Growing our own food, raising our own fish sustainably, goat products, bees!, Ginseng, flowers, peacocks, eggs, etc…
This led to the question about financing. What is our over head and how were we going to raise the funding and not be required to work outside of the property? We discussed profits into savings and tithing percentages.
2. Abundance in making our own products: incense, soap, bio char, compost tea, lasagna garden sprout kit and info packet, already prepared hay bail gardens, crafts, etc. This conversation led in the manifestation process of what to do with some of the profits.
3. Classes with the abundance of workshops and products we will update our certificates and continue our education. Hence we will create an education fund for others to e able to go learn about things that they are drawn to and would like to share with the community.
We wrote out our to do list! Said blessings.
11-14-11
Matt, Adam, Juda
1. Adam gave the opening and led us into a gratefulness space. We went around the bonfire and stated things we were grateful for.
2. recap of last meeting:
we added two new values
6. We honor the land by becoming consciously aware of what comes on and off of the property
7. We allow space for the creative processing
8. We live within the Earths abundance
3. We discussed and wrote a (very long) list of what we each did as individuals and as a community since last Monday’s meeting.
4. We discussed projects to start for this week on an individual and on a community level.
5. Things to discuss before next meeting:
1. How much is it to rent space in each building?
2. What are the expectations of the retreat center?
3. Matt is going to create a proxy agreement for interested participants.
At this point we became very silly and Juda gave her blessings and went home.
We continued on because we were still passionate and had more to give.
4. We envisioned Yurtville and drew a sketch out for visioning the grounds.
5. Talked about a 5 year goal of having the common house and yard turn into a bed and breakfast meanwhile all people in residence will live in yurtville, upper meadow, orE-walk. This would look like bed and breakfast in house, temple in garden area, garden in lower garden area, healing garden labyrinth next to the temple, the retreat center in the barn with 8 small “new” cabins for retreat goers to utilize, and new Blue Bagua house as a arts and music building that teaches of the Feng Shui Bagua.
6. Fantasized about E-walk (ewok!!) which is a trail specifically visioned out for tree-houses, picnic tables, and forest fairy ways of life!!! I cannot wait!!
So…as you can see we keep progressing. As we open ourselves to each other and the creative process more of the vision opens itself up to us like a divine puzzle. I am telling you this process is not an easy one, but it is a very rewarding way of finding ourselves. It is our deepest desire that if you are feeling drawn to The Light Center and Heart Spaced Living, please contact us! We will talk to you on the phone, walk you around the grounds, host your birthday parties, meditation retreats, anything spiritual you are going though right now we will hold space with you or for you! If you are feeling drawn to help support us, there are loads of ways we would grateful accept help! Volunteer time, money, or supplies! You might have things we need sitting around waiting to go be recycled somewhere! AND DO NOT forget tax session is almost here! Let us be the place for your tax deduction needs!
We love you all so much and we are creating a place where we can all walk in LoveLight.
Namaste~

11/11/11
Please do connect with me from wherever you may be today! We will be in meditation and song for a good part of the day. Our connection with the local youth here has been beyond magical. I don’t know when I have experienced a more powerful choir experience as the youth at Fezeka High School sang with Bukeka! Phew! It blasted my heart open right on time to receive the influx of 11/11/11 energies flowing to us today. Here is a bit that was sent to me by a friend here in Africa about the energies we are receiving today that are…
“…literally restructuring the physical foundation of your existence with the Source Codes of regeneration.”
“What we would like for you to understand is that the upcoming alignment is the one you have been waiting for…it is ostensibly THE most powerful event of the ages…an adjustment that will enhance your lives in every way.” -PHC
From the perspective of the Pleiadians, the purpose of the 11:11 gateway is to anchor the frontrunners of new humanity both into the crystalline unity grid…the portal to full multidimensional consciousness…and into the heart center (crystalline core) of our planet….that which will precipitate the final integration period, the alignment of the physical body. This unprecedented alignment between the earth and those starbeings/lightworkers ready to be “plugged in” will apparently trigger a great psychic and physical opening that the PHC are coming forth to address.” (From Elizabeth Bardin)
Joining with you and people every where who are linking together in Unity and peace,
Robin
OCCUPY THE FUTURE!
That is the slogan being used at the Novalis Ubuntu Center in Cape Town! Don’t you love it?
It is time that we take back our planet to create a world that works for all. I will be in Durban during the UN Summit on Climate Change holding the high watch for world leaders to create agreements that will move us all ahead into a more sustainable way of life on our planet. Link up as we hold energy and intention for the greatest possible success for this very important summit.
Join me across the sea in the true spirit of Ubuntu (“I am because we are!”)
Robin
The Dome of Light
Blessings to you from South Africa!
How interesting that there is this amazing attention being focused on Wall Street at this pivotal time on the planet. I will link with all those who are holding the sincere intention for peaceful change and carry that intention to the UN Summit on Climate Change!
The Dome of Light is burning bright and you are invited to add your Light every time you see an 11 on the clock. It is so important that we work together to create the optimal climate for CHANGE at this crucial time on our planet. Join us in building a powerful field of energy to support significant shifts toward a more peaceful world.
The Global Alliance for Departments of Peace was a powerful gathering of some amazing people from around the planet who are holding the high watch for peace. Held here in Cape Town at the beginning of October sparks for change were ignited. Two countries have already established Departments of Peace, Nepal and Costa Rico. Can you even imagine what could happen if America would devote even a fraction of the funds we are devoting to “defense” to build peace instead? It would be trans-formative. The time has come. Please continue to hold this intention in your heart and together we are building peace right now!
The UN Summit on Climate Change will convene in Durban, S.A. on Nov. 28 and I will travel there to be part of the Civil Society events that are being held all during the summit. There will be interfaith prayers and meditations as well as a march on The Global Day of Action
December 3. Please do send LIGHT during this important summit. There has been such negativity and discouragement about our ability to move forward with action to address the devastating effects of climate change on our planet. It is time to set aside rhetoric and move ahead in international solidarity. Perhaps there are now enough chinks in the armor of the multinational corporations and their control of policy making that now we can see the Light of change moving. How much destruction do we need to witness before we can come together of one accord to make decisive action to protect our environment and to preserve the existence of many species including humanity? I have seen enough to convince me that we all must now make shifts in the way we live and use resources. Perhaps this shift requires a massive change in value systems that have conspired to create unreasonable standards for material consumption.
We were blessed to greet Ela Gandhi (above) at the Global Alliance for Departments of Peace and she is also instrumental in organizing the voice of Civil Society at the UN Summit on Climate Change. Ela has been carrying on her grandfather’s work in Durban which is where the UN Summit will be hosted. I am proud to align with this great woman and the consciousness she represents! Join in from wherever you may be!
Having this long stay in South Africa is a mighty lesson for me; a lesson in simplicity, in finding joy in the smallest things, in taking time for myself and others, and perhaps most importantly for me to invest in our youth. The way ahead for the next generations is unclear. How important it is for them to find a path of hope and creativity. I believe solutions to our challenges abound. If we will turn young creative minds loose they will find the ways to move ahead to build a better world that works for all of us. When I see solar hot water heaters mounted on the roof of even the smallest house here, I am encouraged. The way ahead involves small changes in every household and huge changes in every heart.
Plant a garden, mentor a young person, learn how you can conserve valuable resources and find your own way to grow HOPE in our world.
It is a huge shift we are making and it will take positive energy being channeled by every one of us. Keep your focus on the intentions you wish to see for our world, for our lives, and for the generations to follow.
I have seen enough to convince me that we all must now make shifts in the way we live and use resources. Perhaps this shift requires a massive change in value systems that have conspired to create unreasonable standards for material consumption.
Holding the DOME OF LIGHT in South Africa,
Robin

(Robin will be in full mood meditation with a group in Cape Town and will be connecting too. Even if you can’t make it out to TLC please do connect in!)
Robin’s Update from Africa…
One of the first things that greeted me in RSE (the small town where I am staying for October, Riviersonderend) was a walking tour of the amazing gardens full of food! The idea has caught on and with the help of a single young man so many small yards are now bursting with green plants! There is also a community garden formed and another planned on a nearby farm. So the local food movement is growing.
We have just completed an amazing weekend camp for youth in Riviersonderend, at a wonderful place called the Blue Hippo. The youth do not get to experience vacation trips or camps and so this event has become a really big deal. The adults seem to love it too! We slept in tipis, walked to a lake to swim and had great sessions led by John Jacobs. Here John is providing caring support to a young girl who experienced a tragic event in her life and so needed the comfort of a healthy male role model in her life!
This image will be embedded on my heart along with the laughter and happy faces of so many beautiful children! For those of you who have been supporting the work of LOVELIGHT, you can feel gratification about what your gifts are providing!
One of the main attractions at the Blue Hippo is a high rope swing that takes real courage to climb and jump off from a height. What a fabulous experience of overcoming our fears! Quite a hit!
Don’t you love these smiles? They say it all! Keep those prayers rolling our way! I feel it and appreciate all the back up.
HUGS,
Robin
Building Peace!
Please send lots of LIGHT! This week I am attending the Opening Ceremonies of the Summit the Global Alliance for Ministries and Departments of Peace, being held here in Cape Town. There will be representatives from over 25 countries gathering to discuss the creation of Departments of Peace in their respective governments. On Tuesday we will take a group of young people from an informal settlement here to the Youth Summit. The young people will have a working session to learn more about forging structures for peace on this planet. What an experience for young people who might not otherwise ever experience a gathering of youth from around the world.
Join us in holding the highest watch to support these tireless warriors who are intentional about making PEACE a greater priority than ‘defense’. Surely it is now time to divert funds from the extreme expenses of arms and wars toward building the structures for peace. Join your heart and soul in sending support for this week’s summit. Together we are making a difference.
“There is no way to peace, peace is the way.” A.J. Muste
Sending much love across the sea,
Robin
Off to Africa!
I have never left TLC for 2 1/2 months in the 17 years I have been here. I leave September 27 and know that TLC is in very capable hands. I couldn’t list the team of people who have come forward to help out in my absence…it would be a long list! Matt will be the main man here as the space keeper and he is being joined by Christee and Adam who moved on site yesterday. Phew! I have been talking to Spirit for months now and trusting that the perfect people are coming together to form a strong base of support for TLC. It has happened and now there are new faces here to greet you and lots of children exploring the woods! You can use the usual phone number and someone will get your call and I will have email connection in Africa for the most part…I may forward your email to Matt or Christee too.
This Equinox change of seasons is a fast moving season with energy popping! I believe the next couple of months are a powerful time for all of us. Keep your eye on the world we are birthing and know you can go through the birthing pains when you experience them. It is all part of the creation process we are in and it is very good. It is all about where you focus your attention. Join me in sending energy into the Dome of Light and surround this planet with the highest unconditional love we can muster! It matters and there ARE ENOUGH OF US doing that to shift the entire culture of the world. With much gratitude to all of you who will pour love into this place and all our sweet animals!
Hope Grows Here,
Robin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meet Vindaloo and her new baby born September 20! Much gratitude to Krystalin and Ed for bringing them to The Light Center family!
Mother and baby are doing fine and Matt has built them a wonderful new pen. That baby couldn’t be cuter!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Baby Goat is coming soon!
Vindaloo has arrived, a very pregnant mother goat! And so we await the birth of her little one and the new joys of learning to milk a goat! The goat’s present owners are gifting her to us and teaching us allof the fine points of goat care. So we are adding the task of sharing goat milking to the wish list for the next folks to rent the house here. Some amazing folks are coming forward to assist while I am out of the country and we know the perfect people will now step forward to join us here to live. It is our quest to learn all we can about growing our own food! To talk more about this please contact me at info@lightcenter.info or 785 255 4583.
Much is happening out here and we’d love to share this glorious weather with you,
Robin
Back to School Time
Back to school days were always a mix of feelings for me; full of excitement and fear. This month is a time for new beginnings and stretching ourselves ahead…coming out of the lazy days of summer. Actually fall can be like a 2nd spring when things start to grow again. I see green shoots starting to grow and it gives me hope. We can come through a massive drought and still keep on…new seeds, little seedlings and the promise of vegetables to come.
Is your life like that? Are you finding new beginnings too? That is one way to keep going into the future. Keep planting new seeds and orient your sights to new growth: one new teacher, new pencil box, new pair of school shoes at a time. Push through the fear and you find yourself right in the middle of a brand new day. Make a new friend, get a great new book, stretch your mind and before long you will be expanding into more than you have ever imagined.
Stay the course,
Robin
