What’s New and Exciting?

Greetings to all of you!

It’s hard to believe we are nearing the end of 2015 already – but the snow this week made it more real that winter is on its way. As the holiday season approaches, I want to express my gratitude to all of you who have in one way or another been part of the Feathers, Rainbows and Roses story this past year – whether as a client, student, colleague, Facebook friend or blog reader – you have walked this year-long journey with me.

I am excited about what lies ahead for me (and you) in the coming months. As you surely know if you follow my writing this past year, Peace has been a central theme and is a core value for me. So it feels natural, as well as deeply satisfying, to be able to follow my heart and finally offer Peace Circles to you. The response has been exciting – our first event is already sold out, confirming that Peace is important to you as well. If you missed the first one, there are more to come.

I am equally excited about the Reiki community that has blossomed over the years. The depth of our discussions and practices is inspirational. Even as people move in and out of our Reiki community, the openness, generosity and caring that is expressed each and every time we meet makes our times together sacred and powerful. I am eagerly anticipating our first ever weekend retreat in February which will be an expanded version of our monthly practice nights (except no one has to drive home after!). The next class of Reiki Masters is due to begin in March 2016 – I look forward to walking with them on this next part of their Reiki journey.

the-stones-263661_640I love what happens when a group of engaged individuals comes together around a single purpose or theme – we so often emerge at a place we could not have anticipated, and yet is so perfect.

I invite you to take part in any upcoming events that resonate with you. I have highlighted them here for you. There are more details on my website – just follow the links – and as always, please feel free to contact me for more information.

Peace and Namaste,

Shirley Lynn


Peace Circle: A Celebration of Peace and Light

Peace Circle creates a space where the mind and heart meet and where the soul story of our lives is revealed. When committed and heart-centred people share real stories … within circle, a synergistic transformation effect is created for all members. – Shirley Lynn

meditation-716469_640Peace Circle may be right for you if

  • You have a vision and inner calling of peace on earth that requires your attention, awareness, passion and courage.
  • You are looking for a sacred, safe and confidential space to share your vision and nurture the inner wisdom you have as a visionary of real and concrete peace on earth.
  • You are looking for others who will hold the power of stillness, practise the path of inner stillness in body, mind and heart with you and claim your inner wisdom to manifest the peace you are called to create in our world.

Find what you are looking for in Peace Circle. Come into stillness and experience the blessing of your own truth and wisdom. You will be blessed with sacred qualities that become the way you engage and lead through your vision of peace on earth.

Co-facilitators: Shirley Lynn Martin and Karen McCarthy
