THE ELECTRIFYING POWER OF MALE-FEMALE BALANCE

On September 12 and 13, 2015, The Center of The One Heart will host its annual Homecoming Festival at Swannanoa Palace & Gardens on Afton Mountain, Virginia – the former home of Walter and Lao Russell and their University of Science and Philosophy (www.philosophy.org).  The Center of The One Heart (www.oneheartcenter.org) is a Central Virginia based non-profit educational corporation serving as a networking and support organization for teachers, healers, and artists in the greater Central Virginia area.  You are invited to attend and participate in this weekend of celebration, ceremony, music, and entertainment.  This year our annual Homecoming Festival is again co-sponsored by The Oracle Institute (www.theoracleinstitute.org), a 501(c)(3) educational charity, and donations are being accepted to support this event at www.theoracleinstitute.org/one-heart.

At last year’s homecoming the focus was on living the message of love given to humanity by cosmic illuminants Walter and Lao Russell.  This year we will be focusing on the life and work of Lao Russell, the power of the divine feminine, and women’s freedom, including the need to bring our lives, culture and society into balance through the electrifying power of male-female balance. Together we will explore the practical application of the power of love in action not only by examining the life, work, and teachings of Walter and Lao Russell but also by examining the power of achieving our inner male-female balance so that we might replicate outwardly the power of our inner male-female balance to create balanced relationships with our partners, friends, family, and community.  You are invited to answer the call to receive a newer and deeper power of the heart that will enable you to move forward beyond your limitations into a new reality and take your wisdom and power to new levels that will allow you to be a true custodian of the planet and its future.  This gathering will present a powerful opportunity for us to come together in our collective heart and to tap the power of love in action, divine synchronicity, infinite intelligence, and the powerful connectivity that comes from awakening and moving into our deepest encoding and purposes for being on the Earth.

This year’s festival will include speakers, food, music, and vendors of metaphysical books, art and jewelry, as well as various practitioners of massage and bodywork and healing modalities.  Anyone wishing to reserve a space as a vendor should contact our vendor coordinator Marge Thompson at (845) 866-4395.  There is no fee for being a vendor, however, you are requested to re-give to The Center of the One Heart from the proceeds of your sale of services or products.  With a great mix of speakers, music, and vendors, this event will offer an opportunity for networking, fun, and celebration as we come together as one mind, one heart, and one family in a divine moment in time and space to open a portal for greater heart energy to anchor on the Earth.

This event is Blue Pot powered, meaning that the event is paid for by the participants on a donation basis.  This event is offered free from the Heart and you are welcome without regard to your ability to support this event financially.  You are asked to support this event financially in accordance with your means, thereby unlocking for yourself the secret of abundance as your giving will be re-given through increasing abundance in all aspects of your life.  Due to limited parking at Swannanoa Palace there will be a $7.00 daily parking fee for those who choose to park on the palace grounds.  If you are from out of town and are considering attending the Center of the One Heart Homecoming Festival 2015, please reserve a hotel room immediately as there are many events going on in the area the weekend of September 12-13, 2015, and the availability of hotel rooms is already limited.

Located on sacred geomantic terrain, Swannanoa Palace is aligned with the Cygnus constellation, Cygnus being the celestial swan.  All are welcome to glide with the celestial swan across the lake of light and pure consciousness as we unfold the renewal and re-awakening of the Christ mysteries on Afton Mountain.  Swannanoa Palace and Grounds was originally created in the early part of the twentieth century by Major James Dooley of Richmond, Virginia, a railroad magnate.  After his death, Swannanoa was operated as a country club and then fell into ruins throughout the Great Depression.  In 1944, Swannanoa was purchased by Skyline Swannanoa, Inc. and was briefly operated as a tourist attraction before the property was leased in 1949 to Walter and Lao Russell who for over fifty years operated The University of Science & Philosophy from Swannanoa Palace.  After the departure of The University of Science & Philosophy in 2001 from Swannanoa, the Center of The One Heart incorporated as a non-profit organization meeting often on Afton Mountain to celebrate and network.  In 2015, Swannanoa Palace & Grounds will again be open to a large scale Homecoming event for light workers to come together in a mystery drama and sacred weekend of fun, laughter, and sharing.  All are welcome to celebrate at the altar of the swan and to enjoy the magic and pure consciousness of a sacred site and vortex which will be magically re-opened again on the weekend of September 12-13, 2015.
