Let’s gather together VIRTUALLY to celebrate the goddess Lada Nada and discover our own inner divine feminine.
The Invitation
“You are the keepers of sacred magic, the template of the divine feminine protector of the Holy Grail, the Goddess, the Holy of Holies.
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.

We will meet near the Fresh Market on Highway 25 and walk 2.5 miles in on the MTS trail and then back to the Fresh Market. This trail comes out on the road at least twice, so keep this in mind with dogs on the trail.
Join us for twice weekly hikes that alternate among four fairly standard routes. Typically, we take the same hike twice weekly, three of which are along the mountains-to-sea trail, running alongside the Blue Ridge Parkway in Asheville. Once a month, we go on a hike among the 25 miles of hiking trails within the campus of Warren Wilson College. We focus on weekday hikes, with occasional weekend jaunts.

Join us on this exclusive historic driving tour of the west side of the Burnett Reservoir to explore part of the once thriving North Fork Valley community. The caravan will stop for participants to view the impressive chimney that was once part of a large boarding house where travelers on their way to Mt. Mitchell would stay before they began the ascent to the highest peak in eastern North America. The tour will also stop at the former entrance to Governor Zebulon Vance’s estate, Gombroon, as well as the Gombroon wall. Following that, we will pass the Left Hand Fork Intake and head to the Dan Burnett Place. The tour will end with the ruins of Gombroon – to include the foundation, heart-shaped pool, the spring house, and the McGinnis Cabin.
Difficulty: Moderate; There will be some walking on rough terrain. Wear sturdy shoes and dress for the weather.
Pricing: $200 per vehicle. The vehicle may carry as few or as many passengers as the registrant wishes to bring. Only family members or people who are in the same “social pod” should travel in a vehicle together. Drivers who cannot bring a family member or someone in their social pod must drive themselves.
Drivers – Your vehicle must get clearance from our trip leader prior to registering as a driver. Please contact us at [email protected] to get clearance.

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.
