Inner Christ & New Earth

Meditation in group. Drawing from world traditions and new insights including Quakers, Celtic, Buddhism, progressive Christianity, Eckhart Tolle, St. Theresa, Gangaji, Gregg Braden, and others. Treating spirituality as an ongoing, ever-evolving quest that will progress and expand. Seeing each person as having their own latent direct connection to divine intelligence, which can be reached with a practiced quieted mind. We practice at the farm, in nature, and various other locations. We vary the beginning with readings, directed visualizations, Reiki/relaxation response, HeartMath, whole mind techniques., video or healing sound, and then move into silence.

French Focus: As part of our mission to unite cultures and continents, our gathering sessions sometimes especially focus on our connections to France, and the mysteries discovered and brought over from France, from ancient French Celtic realms to the teachings of Mary Magdalene to sacred geometry. Guests from France are sometimes hosted. See our France page for more detail.

African Focus: We also occasionally focus our gathering sessions on our connections to Africa, bringing healing and wisdom traditions discovered on our missions to South Africa back to North America, and connecting through meditation with other like-minded spiritual groups there. When enough interest is raised, we will contribute to bringing an African drumming healer to our area who has had outstanding results in upgrading the imbalanced frequencies within individuals’ beings.

Forest Sanctuary: From native island old-growth meditative hikes to treks to our nearby temperate rainforest

Spirit of the Sea: Beach meditations along with orca, dolphin and other whale meditations we organize with large groups.

Enchanted Meadows: Wild meadows. A place where the Faerie realm is said to be especially active, and the energy especially lovely, a sunny sanctuary of living green and color, and a great place to get closer to the bird realm.

Mountain Cathedral: The energy atop a mountain is very special. We take treks to our nearby Cascadian mountain range, an annual trip to Mt. Baker, and shorter trips atop our island’s Mt. Erie and Sugarloaf Mountain.

Flower Gardens: When humans co-create with nature in the form of flower gardens, we see a glimpse of how human and nature were meant for each other. We meditate in public or private rhododendron gardens, rose gardens, lilac gardens and others.

Horse Experience, Children and Adults: An old legend says, "God said, 'Make an animal that's like the wind,' and behold, the horse was born." Humankind, especially children, heals with horses in a similar fashion as with dolphins, once a spiritual bond has been restored. Horses have appeared in our legends since time began in a most remarkable human/horse interconnection. WG has access to two miniature horses where we arrange to let people spend time with these animals. Our focus towards expansion of this offering is through our study with Invisible Horsemanship ™ from the Human- Equine Alliance in Learning. This highly organized non-profit program discovered the higher spiritual connection between horse and human. This bond helps people find a lost part of themselves, which greatly expands their relationship with horses, but also radiates out to the rest of their world. Riding is not part of the program, nor is horse ownership required, as the benefits do not need continued work with horses.

Energy healing rooted in Reiki, (see tenets for more information). Offered to individuals by appointment at the farm and through requested Healing Temples where other churches or service/shared interest groups based on peace and love arrange a group of healers to offer healing in their location to their members at gatherings.

Swan: Each year WG adopts a swan from our state’s local swan society, allowing them to use the revenue to further study how we can protect our rare native trumpeter swans.

Fidalgo Island Wildlife: We periodically contribute to free tree giveaways, and have planted native trees in the wild. We steward the land we are allowed to use as our headquarters, which is a registered wildlife sanctuary, and we join with others including Fidalgo Island’s “Be Wild” group and our Native American neighbors to preserve our island’s unique eco-system.

A number of indigenous tribes prophesied a time of all races and tribes coming together to dance and share and move forward. As part of our Interbelief Crossroads Ministry, we contribute towards and gather with our own once lost and now re-entering island tribes which had been peaceful and wealthy: the Samish, Salish, Swinomish and Lummi, helping them be seen in a new light, strengthen and remember their soul, while they help us with their wisdom as well.

Through special gathering sessions, meditation, dissemination of literature, festival and celebration, we have a Celtic and indigenous pre-European ministry that explores the spiritual folklore roots of Caucasians, and helps it re-emerge, distinguish its dark side from its light side, anchor itself, merge with other native cultures of the world, and therefore have leverage to progress. We periodically network with other local nature-based groups, and as described above, also have a French focus that overlaps this particular study. The World Grace has become a sister non-profit to England's Fairyland Trust, which merges deep ecology and restoration of the earth with spiritual folklore traditions from ancient pre-Europeans, based on the past beliefs that promoted love and stewardship of the earth. We are helping them establish a permanent Fairyland in England, where a wildflower farm holds festivals for families and helps inspire others towards ecology and understanding of our spiritual past and future.

Journaling--Heart, Spirit, Nature: We journal in groups indoors and in nature as a way to access a deeper part of ourselves. Our journaling processes also enhance the talent of those who write professionally, and all are invited to join in.

Cooking Circle: Ancients once knew that picking fruits, herbs and vegetables at a certain time, and preparing it in certain ways, allowed the greatest life force, or radiance, to enter the body. We also now know that our food choices decide how the world’s citizens and earth will be treated. Our cooking and food circles to draw from our native Pacific Northwest bio-region’s cuisine, our own garden traditions and local farms, and are spiced with influences of exotic African to artistic French chef and earth-linked French provincial. Our experimental kitchen continues to make progress, and our gatherings are similar to those of the non-profit Slow Food Movement. Updates appear on our weblog.

Sketching/Handwriting/The Ancient Art of Illumination: All can connect us to deeper parts of ourselves, and all have a deeper meaning than what was once understood. Some scholars even believe that changing your handwriting can develop new neural pathways, and making art can access and develop underused areas of the brain connected to our sacred selves.

The culture here is rich. There are thriving arts communities and citizen groups who are supporting high numbers of backyard wildlife sanctuaries and saving large sections of native forest. Eco- and arts-adventures include art workshops, galleries and open artists’ studios, children’s nature programs, guided forest trail hikes, rainforest expeditions, wildlife photography safaris, inspired public gardens, bird watching, the spectacular Cascade mountain range and wilderness. Heritage Irish, Celtic and Croatian festivals celebrate alongside those of ancient native civilizations.

A short ferryboat ride takes visitors to more emerald islands, including one with the best lookout in the United States, perhaps the world, to watch whales from land. Many guided boat tours take visitors out to sea as well.

This region is within the Pacific Northwest frontier of sustainable solutions for earth stewardship. People come from around the world to learn from programs such as our growing local sustainable organic food systems that interlock farms, schools, chefs, and families.

The farm is a private five-acre registered wildlife sanctuary, organic and pending Certified Naturally Grown farm, ringed with meadows, freshwater lakes and island mountains. It was once a “beyond organic” micro eco-farm, family home and community workshop and festival location. Island Meadow Farm held annual pumpkin harvest festivals, sold organic heirloom produce and was the location for writers’ workshops, apple pressings and spiritual gatherings. The owners are restoring it as a local food and demonstration sustainable farm showing how large amounts of gourmet and heirloom food (plus flowers, bath herbs, craft plants, etc.) can be grown from porches, hanging from trees, within ornamentally planted yards, in postage stamp cottage gardens, and on small farms. 38 million American live on the brink of hunger according to the USDA. We want the farm to make a difference here at home that ripples out to the wider community and to the world. We exchange ideas with people across the planet. Its owners are also exploring sacred architecture, a labyrinth, wild and sacred gardens, the golden mean, and the creation of a center for healing, art and spiritual exploration, and festival and celebration, of which will be partially donated for the use of WG.

Special Connections to South Africa and France

Our sister South African sanctuary’s Cape Town location is also rimmed with beaches and forests, and has vast climate pockets from forests to deserts. The members of our sister non-profit enjoy a large, beautiful labyrinth in the same style as the labyrinth of Chartes, France, which is the design we are planning to create. As one of the birthplaces of humankind, South Africa now connects with our island, one of the last places inhabited by humankind, reaching halfway across the world to re-member and help each other.

We grow and contribute open-pollinated seeds for a partner non-profit in France, which sends open-pollinated seeds out to the developing world. When not physically in Africa, we link to them with group meditations and spiritual and knowledge exchanges. We send seeds directly to our sister non-profit’s emerging organic farmers and food garden for the poor and orphans, and in turn, South Africa has sent seeds of one of their prolific, sweetest heritage melons back to us to grow out and contribute to the American garden. As we link, we’re creating a whole greater than the sum of our isolated parts.

The World Grace Foundation does not own real estate or structures, but is headquartered on private property donated for its use. Because our non-profit operates on a private and for-profit restoration of a sustainable farm, all tax-deductible donations for WG are clearly recorded and utilized only for World Grace non-profit activities which include workshops, classes, outreach projects, spiritual exploration, dissemination of information, supply collection for missions to the underprivileged and orphans, abandoned animal and wildlife stewardship, and otherwise service projects not related to permanent structures or private property. Island Meadow Farm and some of the last animals dependent on it were barely rescued from death, foreclosure and development by its private owners and others who donated their time. They look forward to restoration of the farm as a model demonstration of small sustainable farming success. The future farm structures are a private endeavor that will eventually donate part of their usage and profit towards WG (such as the barn for the children’s farm). However, donations towards permanent structures on private property not owned by World Grace cannot be tax deductible.
