Heaven on Earth 2012 - A workshop designed to create a 12' diameter Aztec Calendar out of clay and mosaic materials wil be held Jan 2-6, 2012, in Todos Santos. This year, the "Dream Team" of Donna Billick, Mark Rivera, and Tom Arie Donch will instruct participants on how to create this exciting community project. The event is designed for teachers, artists who think big, and want to create a leagacy to be proud of. Contact Donna Billick for details and information. - Donna Billlick, rockartus [ - a t - ] aol.com, 530-219-5918 in US and Todos Santos, Todos Santos

Google Street View - I not sure all of you are aware that Google Street View is available in La Paz, Cabo San Lucas, and even Todos Santos. It seems though that the 'views' are confined to paved streets only in most all towns. Easy access is from Google Seach page and then click on 'maps' and zoom down to the area you want to see.

Ascension Meditation Invitation Extended - Two bilingual teachers will come from the mainland to teach ascension meditation when we have sufficient people interested. The sessions will be held in Los Barriles and/or San Jose/Todos Santos. An introduction to ascension meditation is available on their website, www.thebrightpath.com. For more information, please contact tessabarriles [ - a t - ] gmail or call 141-0427. The following is written by one of the teachers, Gayatri, who lives with her husband Sanatana in San Miguel Allende:

Meditation is all about slowing down the mental activity so we can be present ... outside our skulls. It’s about learning to see the difference between reality and what we think about it. Of course, this takes practice, which is why it’s called the practice of meditating, or we talk about having a meditation practice. The vast majority of people go through life believing that what they think about reality is reality. This particular and very powerful confusion has not done the world a whole lot of good. It is for this reason that I think meditating is a hugely political act – the strongest action we can take on behalf of world peace – that idea of being part of the solution rather than the problem. So when someone comes into a course and says, "My mind is making me crazy, I want to stop it," I often feel like sweeping off my plumed chapeau, bowing deeply and saying, "On behalf of the Planet, I thank you."

Gayatri is a teacher of The Bright Path Ishayas’ Ascension, the meditation practice affiliated with LifePath - a powerful yet simple and comfortable meditation technique. You can also email Gayatri [ - a t - ] thebrightpath.com or Sanatana [ - a t - ] thebrightpath.com with any questions and/or go to the website: http://www.thebrightpath.com. - Tessa Nisbet, tessabarriles [ - a t - ] gmail.com, 624-141-0427, Los Barriles

Mechanic Wanted - Looking for mechanic that can work on a 1994 Mazda MPV Van's cooling system and do a tune up. - Mary, 612 140 7923
