13. Red Earth Sanctuary, stands free of linear time, we call it "valley time" an
adventure into spaciousness.
Nothing wrong with "Old Father Time" it helps us navigate our day yet makes a bad
master.
In simple ritual, we turn away from the mundane and mobile world of routine and align
with the ancient ways and deepen our relationship to nature,
14 When we release ourself from the grip of linear time we awaken to the dreamlike
reality of the universe as an ongoing work of art and we the creative author through
which the revelation of the universe moves towards and becomes the timeless
dimension of simply "being". This state of begininess is in itself an access point of
healing and alchemical transformation.

The practice rest at the heart of the essential human need, to move and be
moved, touch and be touched. All that is required is an open minded curiosity for the
body as a vehicle for human evolution and spiritual empowerment.
