My memories of past lives in Africa runs deep, guided by one of my guides, Oya, whom we share in common. What you shared woke me up so to speak. On one of my trips to Africa, I encountered the Baobab tree and I swear she spoke to me—of the power of the feminine and a reminder, both gentle and fierce about the relevance of my own calling. Thank you for helping me re-remember.Lynette Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08267231416967410250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-14946247725478114442010-10-26T08:28:39.389-04:002010-10-26T08:28:39.389-04:00Sandra - It was wonderful to have you in our spiri...Sandra - It was wonderful to have you in our spirited circle.

In my vision of the African woman I saw - and felt - what she suffered as a slave, and felt humbled and honored, as a mere man, to share in some part of her life. Let me clarify that I did not feel that this was one of my own "past lives", but part of a larger human inheritance and pattern of connection.Robert Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231870716685877709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-23422288713322851712010-10-26T00:31:48.930-04:002010-10-26T00:31:48.930-04:00I have mixed feelings about the romanticising of f...I have mixed feelings about the romanticising of female past lives where the reality for women in many cultures left much to be desired. How quickly does everyone forget, even in America, women's plight in the last century. Like the 50's before birth control pills. Like before voting rights. I do have a number of past life memories as women in French, Greek and Egyptian cultiures. As I say mixed feelings.DavidInSeattlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02938737246519942697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-24906944391940245812010-10-25T16:43:46.416-04:002010-10-25T16:43:46.416-04:00It was an honor to be a part of that weeekend.
