Flights into Charlotte Douglas Airport in Charlotte, NC are fairly frequent from most parts of the USA and Canada. Plan to arrive early enough in the day on Thursday (or come in the day before) to be ready to participate in the group gathering after dinner that evening in Elberton, GA. Elberton, GA is approximately a three-hour drive from the Charlotte-Douglas Airport in Charlotte, NC. Charlotte is the closest airport of size to the three places our journey takes us.

Our work in Elberton at the Guidestones is to connect with the more mature Osiris yang energies that are fully present, full of passion, power and emotion that expresses the feeling sense of co-creating a new way of being in relationships on more diverse levels. These are our powerful manifestation energies that assist us in bringing our visions from Isis into physical manifestation. With their incorporation into our being fully, we are able to build solidly a new earth born of true love.

As we journey north to Pilot Mountain State Park, NC we delve deep into the past connecting with our ancient memories of when we were more familiar with the earth, the seasons and cycles and the role we are here to play when we actively participate in these energies. As we open our hearts to the matured Isis energies of love, the revelation that we must now become comfortable with the constant shifts and changes of the earth in order to feel secure in our place upon her by taking quiet time to listen to her messages - in the water, the wind, the trees and the animals (including humans). She is calling us to re-member our commitments of old and fulfill them.

At the Civitas we rekindle our connection to the Angelic Kingdom by opening ourselves to the revelations that each of the Mothers has to share - Earth, World, Karmic, Cosmic and the integration into All Mother (the new Divine Feminine we each seek to express). This is the culmination of the various roles the feminine energies have expressed upon the earth in days gone by. The messages received from each of these Angelic Beings gives guidance as to paths of expression upon the earth, out in the world, speaking the truth, seeing the vision of what is happening from a greater perspective and being an active loving, passionate, joyous participant in it all.

This is a life altering sacred journey for active participants. If you feel called contact Rev Mary Elizabeth Hoffman to reserve your space.

• Friday, March 7, 2008 - A.M. Breakfast at hotel. Check out of hotel. Drive to Elberton Guidestones just outside of the town of Elberton. Here we gather outside the site as a group to let the guides and guardians of the site know who we are and the intentions for our visit. After asking permission to enter the site, we proceed into the site moving to where ever we each feel called to go. The focus is on experiencing the yang power of this site as it receives the Divine Love from the Heart of the Cosmos returning it in kind. During the morning we will sing to the stones empowering them with the love from the Human Kingdom. A ceremony/ritual will be performed to honor the yang energies of the new Osiris - the matured wise man energies. As his love is channeled through participants - messages, words of power and guidance are received. Individual time is given to receive personal messages, do private offerings, rituals and ceremonies or sing your own songs. Return to town of Elberton for lunch. After lunch - the beginning of our re-grounding ourselves - a visit to the Elberton Granite Quarry and the Granite Museum is in order. By 2 pm we drive to Pilot Mountain, NC (approximately 4.5 hours away) and check into our hotel there. We have dinner with a brief meeting to prepare for our visit to Pilot Mountain State Park afterwards. It is early to bed as we have an early wake up call tomorrow.
• Saturday, March 8, 2008 - A.M. Breakfast at hotel. Check out of hotel. Shop for lunch/picnic items. Drive to Pilot Mountain State Park with packed lunch. At the base of the summit we gather as a group to honor the yin energies that have nurtured us and given to us so unconditionally. We connect as a group with the guides and guardians of the site to apprise them of our intentions while on the mountain. We hike upper area of Pilot Mountain. As we ascend the summit that overlooks the pinnacle we reconnect with the ancient traditions we vowed to always honor. In our linking with the passion and power of the new Isis energies we let go of the grief, abandonment and betrayal memories from the past allowing ourselves to open our hearts completely to the light, life, love, lust, nurturance and playfulness that is the joy and passion of deep love expressed from a place of maturity, trust and truth. This genuine expression of pure love without fear, loss or regret is palpable in the rocks, trees, animals, leaves and paths as we walk Pilot Mountain. Through meditation, guided imagery, ceremony, ritual, prayer and song we open our hearts releasing the old pain, the old wounds and the ancient longings of love unfulfilled. With our hearts full, we return from the summit to the parking area, retrieve our picnic supplies and walk to the picnic area for our feast. After lunch the group is free to explore Pilot Mountain more fully. For those physically up to it we will be making a trek to the base of the pinnacle and around it. Others may want to return to the summit overlook to take in the views and energies there. We drive to our hotel in Rock Hill, SC where we are close enough to walk to a wide variety of dinner places. Dinner. Swim. Relax.
• Sunday, March 9, 2008 - Breakfast at the hotel. Rest. Relax. Sleep in if you like or go for a swim. Have lunch at your choice of places within a short walking distance. After lunch there is a brief meeting to receive information on the Civitas and the sacred geometry of the Gateway. Then we gather to go to the Civitas Gateway. Once at the Gateway we gather as a group to share with the guides and guardians our intentions for coming to the Gateway today. We ask for a message and guidance from each Civita as we approach them. As we walk the Gateway we square the circle of this portal releasing the Angelic Realms to fly to all points of the globe with the love energies we have carried here from the Elberton Guidestones of Osiris and from Pilot Mountain's Isis love healed. We spend as much time individually with each Civita in order to connect and receive guidance. A notebook for writing down messages is advisable. There are plenty of places to sit or stand at each Angel Goddess - the Earth, World, Karmic and Cosmic. We prepare for the integration tomorrow of all these energies. The individual messages we receive gives us clues as to ways we may take this new heart energy out into the world and share it in our life and work.
• Monday, March 10, 2008 - Breakfast at the hotel. After a brief meeting to receive information about the fifth Civita we drive into downtown Rock Hill, SC to the copper domed City Hall. Here we are greeted by the All Mother energies - the feminine energies matured, empowered, pure and secure. From outside City Hall in the courtyard we gather as a group to connect with the guides and guardians opening to the heart energies empowered here. Upon entering the rotunda we may approach the Civita from below or climb the stairs to connect with her from above. Later we gather again in the outside courtyard and move as a group into the amphitheatre going to where ever we feel called - the fountains, the vineyards, the sacred geometry, the trees, the benches, the grass, the stairs. Here we sense the beginning coalescence of the energy work we have just completed - as we receive glimpses of how it is already starting to change our lives and our world. For grounding and in joy we take a lunch break going into the many varied shops in old town Rock Hill. After lunch we drive to Glencairn Gardens - an ancient power place for the natives and a garden designed and built by a man for his great love - his wife. Here we gather as a group before entering to express our love and gratitude for what we have, where we are and what our next assignments are to be. Upon entering the gardens we are free to wander from the reflecting pool, through the dogwoods, azaleas and rhododendrons to the flowerbeds of tulips and pansies. Follow your guidance and be aware of what greets you - in nature, animals and people. Let the love flow. Drink it in through every pore into every cell deep into the ancient DNA memory. Let the love flow. At a designated time we meet as a group for a closing ceremony near the reflecting pool. Later we return to our hotel. Wash up and go to dinner. Afterwards, we gather to say our farewells. For tomorrow we return to our lives renewed, inflamed with passion and empowered with love.
