The Grandmothers Net of Light Gathering
in New Zealand
at the
Whakarongotai Marae, Waikanae, Kapiti.

It’s appropriate that we are holding the New Zealand Gathering of the Grandmothers, at a Marae, a traditional spiritual meeting area. The focus of this Gathering is on healing our world and ourselves by working with the Ancestors, and the Wharenui (Meeting House) where we will both meet and sleep is seen as the body of the ancestor. Connection to the Ancestors is very strong on a Marae. The Wharenui is feminine and one enters through the feminine opening into her creative center.

The women in this particular Marae are searching for their ancestry Power/Beauty within, so it’s exciting that Sharon is coming here. I hope they join us this important healing work as together we experience the joy of working with the Great Council of the Grandmothers.

December 3 & 4, $150 includes night stay and food.

2011 GATHERING OF THE GRANDMOTHERS

Grandmothers Gathering

The 5th annual Gathering of the Grandmothers opened us to a here-to-fore untapped source of power and union. Magically, women and men from at least nine different countries moved into the state of One Love. We offered the Grandmothers’ Empowerment into the energy of Yin to our ancestral lines and in the process experienced personal and planetary healing we had never imagined possible. One night we formed a candlelit Net of Light under the stars and the next day we danced on the beach while pelicans circled over our heads and a double rainbow ringed the sun. We could hardly believe all this was happening, but it was.

For two days we lived and worked together in joy and gratitude at beautiful Aliso Creek. This Gathering was something we won’t ever forget.

IRELAND CALL TO POWER

MESSAGE TO ALL LOVERS OF THE EARTH

Now is the time for the power of the Feminine Principle to awaken. At present the energies of Yin and Yang on our beloved planet are out of balance, placing life in danger. When the Great Council of the Grandmothers first appeared to Sharon McErlane, they said, “The time to return to balance is now and for this, women must lead. It can be no other way.” (A Call to Power: the Grandmothers Speak).

The Grandmothers are calling us to gather in Ireland in order to draw the lighted places there (many sacred sites in Ireland) to the Net of Light.  These lighted places need to be linked at this time.  Their connection will amplify the power of the Net of Light that is holding our planet.  The event in Cork will be a true Call to Power--for all participating individuals as well as for the land of Ireland. Sharon will pass on the Grandmothers’ Empowerment and we will work extensively with the Net of Light to awaken the energy of Yin within each person present and in the land. “Each one who opens to this work,” the Grandmothers say, “makes of themselves a reservoir of Yin energy for all beings. They become a walking blessing upon the Earth.

Cork, Ireland Gathering—Sept. 11-12, contact Louise Burke, louise.b75@gmail.com or Grace O Flynn, graceoflynn@mac.com.


BROADCASTING THE NET OF LIGHT

Blog talk radio, http://www.blogtalkradio.com/awake  click the link to listen to the show. How to interact with and amplify the power of the Net of Light that is holding the earth steady. As the energies on our planet shift, the Grandmothers call us to be part of a great broadcast and broadcasting of light. "There is work for you,” they say. “Together you form a web, a Net of Light. This is a network, a loving net and all are family in this Net. The Net of Light will comfort, steady and hold everything. It will place a floor underneath the suffering around the globe. It will uphold the earth itself and cradle all creatures while the energies on earth shift. This is practical work that will enable you to give assistance at this critical time. Do not pass up this opportunity to be of service to Mother Earth and one another.

2010 GATHERING OF THE GRANDMOTHERS

Grandmothers gathering

Sharon and Drum

 

Once again we gathered in Laguna Beach at the Aliso Creek Inn, gathered at the Mother Rock and connected to the power point on the medicine wheel for the western states.

Sandra de Graaf from Holland led us in working with the forces of Yin and Yang with body movements and dance. Lis Addison, performance artist from the San Francisco Bay area, taught us how to use sound and song for healing. Mira Michele presented her work with the Sacred Female Rising in Germany.

Individuals and mother-daughter pairs came to learn how to live the power of Yin, strengthen the Net of Light, and build communion and community. We danced, sang, received the Grandmothers’ Blessings, and in sitting in small and large circles, we strengthened our bond. A weekend of love, joy and sharing, we arrived as strangers and left with a deepened connection to the Grandmothers and to each other. We hope that those who could not attend, will join us next year.

 

 

 

SEATTLE CALL TO POWER, JULY 17, 2010.

Submitted by Lin Evanko, Seattle group leader and event coordinator.

NetOfLight Group Lunch

We gathered in the cool early-morning July air, each arriving with her gifts for the day...gifts of laughter, tears, comfort, wisdom, assistance, creativity and a sense of curiosity and wonder. It was such a precious day for me -- to see women I know and women I had just met open-heartedly connecting with the Grandmothers and with Sharon! We had so much help with all aspects of the gathering that the day a seamless feel to it...amplified by having lunch onsite (served by Denise's daughter and her friend), which strengthened the connections between us all and held the energy strong.

Our small-group meditations brought us even deeper into the experience with many sharings from the heart. There were those who were new to the Grandmothers and for those who wish to form their own groups, Sharon's teachings, Net of Light and Circle of Stones meditations, and the group empowerment made it all so easily 'accessible' for everyone.

Before Sharon left mid-afternoon (she had to catch a plane to fly back to her mother), we were able to support her and send her off by surrounding her with song, love and many hugs. The Grandmothers blessed the day. This was a truly a gathering of beauty/power and effortless effort!

Thank you to all the Northwest grandmothers for a fabulous day!

Some quotes from women who attended that day:

"I am still "glowing" from the all-day beautiful experience. Getting to meet and converse with Sharon was as rewarding as I had anticipated it being..Also getting to meet you and your wonderful group of women friends...

I am still "digesting" the small group experiences as well as the circle of stones...

I have begun reading A CALL TO POWER ...all I can say is ~ WOW!"

"My heart and spirit are so full and glowing – my joy is spilling out and getting all over EVERYTHING. It‚s a joyful mess I tell you! Thank you thank you thank you. I was transformed by the whispering blessings experience..."

"The day was magical and very meaningful."

WORKSHOP

HEALING THE TEARS WITHIN THE NET OF LIGHT

Net of light

The Grandmothers say that due to human ignorance and misunderstanding, at present there are rips and gauges in the Net of Light that holds the earth. Since it is the Net of Light that will steady the planet during the times of change that are upon us, this is a serious problem.

Each participant will be given a unique job assignment as we work to uphold the earth.

2009 GATHERING OF THE GRANDMOTHERS

 The third Gathering of the Grandmothers in the U.S. was attended by women from America and Europe.  We met at the Aliso Creek Inn in Laguna Beach, California and entered into ceremony for ourselves and our ancestors at a sacred rock area at the beach.   Although we arrived from different parts of the world, in a short time, we bonded together and created a web of sisters, daughters, mothers, and grandmothers of the earth.  In the end we learned that we are all forerunners for the Grandmothers.  "You are our message," they said.  There is no question that we will return to the Inn in Laguna next March.

Gathering of the Grandmothers. The first Gathering of the Grandmothers was held in Laguna Beach, California May 4,5, and 6. Women from across the United States and England gathered to share love and wisdom with one another and strengthen the Net of Light that is holding the earth steady during these difficult times. The Gathering was joyous, powerful, and magnified the presence of the Grand Mothers within each woman. The first of many Grandmothers' events to come.

Grandmothers Return to Lithuania. Sharon returned to Lithuania at the end of May to help direct Grandmothers’ groups that have sprung up in that country since her first trip there. She held empowerment ceremonies in four cities and taught the people of that country how to access and work with the Great Council of the Grandmothers.

Grandmothers go to the Netherlands. In June Sharon visited the Netherlands to work with a group of women who are creating a Grandmothers’ workbook and project book in Dutch. She also held a Grandmothers’ Empowerment in Delft. Jenneken Berends, who runs the Grandmothers’ group in Delft, directed the Dutch project.

No More Counting. As of spring, 2007, over 2000 women have received the Grandmothers' Empowerment and many men have received the Cloak of Comfort. Sharon is delighted to announce that she is officially giving up counting now as there are over 40 Grandmothers' groups in the U.S. and around the world, that she can no longer keep up with the numbers. What a wonderful problem.



More Notes from Sharon

Grandmothers Help Marriages. I am hearing reports of improved communication and greater closeness from husbands and wives who have received the Grandmothers' Empowerment and Cloak of Comfort. I have not compiled statistics on this phenomenon yet, but something good is happening in these marriages. The Grandmothers tell us that as the energy of yin fills a person, a relationship or a situation, everything benefits. This seems to be happening in these homes.

A quantum physicist from Lithuania is working on a machine to infuse the energy of yin into planet earth. I passed the Cloak of Comfort to Edmundas and several other physicists, architects and builders when I was in Lithuania in May. He later told me that before receiving the Cloak of Comfort, he had lived only through his brain but now that his heart was open he wanted to do something for humanity and for the earth. This is a man who is well-respected in his field, has appeared on Lithuanian television and believes that he can invent a small torsion generator that will hold and broadcast the energy of the Great Mother. He is working on it now.

The powerful Gayatri mantra, the world's oldest prayer, has made its way from a Grandmothers' meeting in Laguna Beach, Ca. to an army base in Iraq. A member of the Laguna Beach Grandmothers' group purchased a tape of the Gayatri at the November Grandmothers' meeting, converted it to a CD and sent it on to her daughter who is stationed in Baghdad. Sathya Sai Baba who chants the Gayatri on the tape states that the mantra will purify and protect he or she who chants it. The woman who originally bought the tape says that her daughter is playing it nearly non-stop. Other soldiers are listening to it too and some are copying it. Even the platoon commander is listening to the Gayatri!
