Type of Wounded Place
Story & Experience
Using this sand from this very special Mandala from a very special day, a bird was created upon the ashes of Sandbaai Wood, to remember those feathered or furry creatures who lost their homes, and anchor the intention of giving them a new garden to fill with their Life. All the little seeds and shells that were in the sand from the 5th of June are shining here, reverberating out the message of Intelligence and Care, bringing healing to this wounded Woods. Mandala Keeper Beatrice Pook guided the process and blessed this desolate place with her presence. Isn’t it wonderful to be in community with people who can see, who really care, and who have solutions.
