Gate of Grace formation, looking SSE, during preparations ... late in the afternoon on Solstice.
Preparations at the sacred ground for the Gate of Grace ... The fire at the centre of the formation is built.
Gate of Grace formation, looking NNE - The fire is ready to ignite, as are the citronella torches surrounding the formation, and coloured flags are placed in their appropriate positions.
Just prior to 7:30pm, a bowl is set out for the 'washing of the feet of the masters", at the entrance of the Gate of Grace formation circle in the forest.
All is in readiness.
At 7:30pm, the fire and torches are lit, as the 'masters' begin to arrive.
elaya*, sitting in the neutral / servant position, opens the ceremony.
These photos were taken either before or following the 2-hr global link-up, spanning the set times of 8:22 MDT to 9:33 MDT. The Temple formation was open from 8pm to 10pm.
While we were in formation, and well into the second hour, the Shekinah made Her Presence known.
Here, the participants are sitting in Grace ... not wanting the formation to end. Blue Mountain Dove, shown sitting in the Church of Philadelphia, "Blue" position, which is her soul ray.
In the Church of Sardis, "Green" position are Ron and Nathalie, both green soul rays.
Looking North from behind the Church of Sardis position.
Looking West from behind elaya* in the Neutral position.
Here we're talking about White Wolf who, during the Global Link-Up was trying to muffle a laugh, elaya* recognized the energy as the Shekinah's ... as she too began to laugh uncontrollably. This was followed by everyone else. Here you see White Wolf having yet another good "Hah! Hah!".
As you can see, no one was getting up although elaya* had blessed and closed the formation.
There was a wonderful Peace that settled over the group as we allowed ourselves the pleasure of remaining in the Gate of Grace.
Nathalie ... literally glowing in her position as a Green Soul Ray. A healer ... she truly is.
A lovely orb appears to be hovering above the Gate of Grace. You can also detect a small, but brilliant orb behind elaya*, back against the woods. The lovely 'flame' above Sarah's head is actually a torch situated behind her. It somehow looks appropriate there!!!
Like Nathalie, Ron also glows in his Green Soul Ray position. He is also a powerful healer.
On the far left of the Gate of Grace formation, against the spruce tree, you can see an orb 'comet'. The camera is facing NNW in this photo.
Sarah has draped a fleece blanket over the back of her chair. It bears her Orange Soul Ray vibration.
A quiet moment in the Gate of Grace. Everyone relishing simply being there.
Our lovely 'Violet' Soul Rays of the Church of Laodicea, Teal Blue Butterfly in front with Val at the back.
Dove looking quite regal in her 'Blue' Soul Ray position, Church of Philadelphia.
Here's our happy 'Purple' soul ray, Joanne, representing the Church of Thyatira.
Ron and Nathalie, our Green Soul Rays, look quite happy in their positions.
elaya*, sitting in the neutral/servant position, having a good laugh with Nance, our photographer. What's so funny?
Here's White Wolf, representing her 'Red' soul ray ... the Church of Smyrna.
Here's a close-up of Nance wearing the yellow orchid (lady slipper) on her blue dress, in honour of her Yellow Soul Ray vibration.
Here's Sarah, our 'joyful' Orange soul ray, representing the Church of Ephesus.
It's getting darker as you can see, and we're all just sitting there, enjoying the amazing energy of the Gate of Grace. Here's a smile from Dove.
Another photo of Nance, our Yellow Soul Ray. representing the Church of Pergamum. Notice that she's wearing the beautiful yellow orchid that was found in our campsite, on her dress.
Sarah and elaya*, listening and sharing with others.
Our 'Violet' ladies again.
Another pic of our Orange and Neutral representatives.
It's getting late and White Wolf is deep into a conversation with someone on her left.
Joanne ... our Purple Soul Ray, vibrant and happy in her new understanding of who she is.
Can you see the orb over Joanne's head? They are starting to come in ... and we have noticed.
We finally left the Gate of Grace, but remained in a celebratory mood. Here Teal Blue Butterfly and White Wolf have their photo taken, while two beautiful orbs dance alongside.
Another lovely photo of our Vancouver Islanders.
elaya* gets her photo taken with Nance. There's an orb above the mountain on the right of the pic.
One more look and we find a few more orbs floating about.
These three make quite a trio! And ... that's not the moon on the far right. That's an orb! The mountain directly behind elaya and White Wolf sits 'true north', and we've never seen the moon that far north! Have you? Hee! Hee!
One more time ... just the three of us.
Everyone's finally off to bed ... and there's another orb floating around the photographer. For more wonderful orbs, please see the "Orbs and Other Phenomena" linked on our webpage.
