In this series of Virtual Goddess Channeling and Alignment Circles, we will work with shamanic technologies to connect with multidimensional Beings of Light to receive support throughout our current global paradigm shift. We will tap into energy streams of Quantum Light frequencies to raise our vibrations and receive messages from Kuan Yin, Mother Mary, Pele, Kali and other Transformative Goddesses who are lovingly here to assist us as we move through any energetic obstructions to fulfill our greatest potential. Learn how to access and divinely nourish yourself with the Quantum Light during this special Virtual Goddess event.
This week we will journey to the sacred Peru, receiving Pachamama’s blessings and a Light Language transmission from Machu Picchu.

How can we change the pattern in which the cultural expression of the majority dominates other cultures?
This Devotional will include prayers and music, connecting with our spiritual nature, and illuminating the oneness of humanity.
A Zoom link will be sent in advance to those who register.
On Thursday, September 17, 2020 from 7:00 – 9:00 pm the Center will discuss the second film in our Reel Spirit Film Project series—The Truman Show (1998), a comedy/drama/science fiction film starring Jim Carrey, Ed Harris, and Laura Linney, and directed by Peter Weir. This movie is an allegory dealing with timeless questions and dilemmas: Is each of us alone? Who is really in control? What or who pulls our strings? Can we break the illusion? If so, what will it take to do so? Join us for a discussion of the life and decisions of Truman Burbank and how these might relate to our own lives.

Earthdance Asheville is collaborating with producers around the world to produce a one main, live-streamed festival to be aired on Earthdance.tv. This is centered on our traditional synchronized meditation, happening at 7:00 PM (ET) on September 19th.
Cradled in the bosom of the Smokey and Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville is a place of palpable spontaneity. A freshly-roasted and family-friendly place to be, to invite some friends for a cup of tea. In this enchanted hotbed for the Arts; dancing, farming, music, and beer are just some of the ways we keep it weird around here.
For Vision 2020: Co-Manifestival we are excited to bring you a weekend’s worth of talented presenters, hailing from Berkeley to the Bays of Puerto Rico!
…and for the first time EVER, Earthdance Asheville is also working with the Global XR Community to provide you with an Xtended Reality experience as we manifest our Multiverse.
Let’s gather together VIRTUALLY to celebrate the goddess Lada Nada and discover our own inner divine feminine.

She is known by many names: Diana, Mary Magdalene, Isis, Hathor, Quan Yin, Hecate, Venus, Aphrodite, Diana, Freya, and Gaia. Keepers of the sacred flame, you are being called to come together in community to be held, scene, and to heal your wounds – our wounds of separation, of struggle, and profound forgetting.
Friday Nights October 30 – November 20. 7pm ~ 8:15pm. Each talk will be available for one Week.

RECEIVE YOUR GREEN MOTHER LIGHT CODES!
Join us in this new series of Goddess Channeling and Alignment Circles that will occur every Monday at 11:00 am EST for 13 weeks beginning Sept 21st.
The GREEN MOTHER ACTIVATIONS are being transmitted specifically at this time in our evolution as a way to offer Divine Support to seekers throughout the current global paradigm shift. Through the Green Mother Activations, we will ground into a solid foundation of unity consciousness and power that will support and sustain us through times of uncertainty in our world.
Throughout this series of 13 Green Mother Activations, we receive deeper understandings and practical tools that dissolve fear and resistance to the ascension process. We awaken to our gifts and talents, new forms of expression we may not have had access to before. We can then move forward with ease and grace, navigating challenging emotions and experiences from an inner place of strength, clarity and alignment with GAIA. Instead of disconnecting from ourselves, which often feels like we are falling apart, we will choose to come into alignment with our own Divine Source.
Ana Estrada is a Quantum Light Practitioner with more than 25 years experience of working consciously with Beings of Light and Ascended Masters. Her graduate degrees in Transformative Art and Spirituality took her to the Amazon jungles and the temples of India where she studied shamanic cultures and visionary art making processes. She is certified as an Intuitive Energy Healer in various healing modalities and serves as a channel for the Divine Mother and her sacred Light Language. Ana offers Quantum Light Alignment Sessions privately and at sacred sites around the world.

The astrology of 2020 has already turned the world upside down. So what can we expect in 2021?
AFOA founding member Benjamin Bernstein will give his annual forecast lecture via Zoom on Friday, November 20 at 7 PM US Eastern Time. This call may reach capacity, so consider joining 10 minutes early to guarantee your space. The Zoom info is at the end of this announcement.
Benjamin will put special focus on 2021’s headline event, a powerful Saturn-Uranus square that lasts the entire year. (One of its central themes will be the rapid breakdown of existing structures, as well as the quick rise of new ones.) He’ll also predict when this square’s effects will be most powerful, based on the timing of Mars-Saturn-Uranus T-squares and other catalyzing events.
Benjamin will also discuss the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in the first degree of Aquarius on 12/21/20, and its continuing effects in 2021. Does the extraordinary timing of this Great Conjunction mark the true beginning of the Aquarian Age?
Additional topics will include Saturn in Aquarius and Jupiter in Aquarius and Pisces. We’ll also explore the 2021 eclipses and the surprising prominence of Vesta in 2021’s aspect patterns. Is it time to devote more time and energy to serving the greater good?
Friday Nights October 30 – November 20. 7pm ~ 8:15pm. Each talk will be available for one Week.
