It's All Coming To Us: The Ultimate Artist's Meet-Treat Before Samhain

We are experiencing an energy of shaking things up in order to get inspired and for the first time in 5 years I am having a hair colour consultation as a way to mark when the shift into production season kicked in for me.

Getting my hair and nails done is part of it. Though what I discovered at my appointment that came and went between when I wrote this and was able to edit it, is that not getting my hair done, for the sake of it, is also significant.

Getting a van Geordie and I can comfortably be mobile in matters too and I'm seriously excited for when that is a more pressing reality to focus on but for now this upcoming event will be receiving the majority of my attention.

Along with getting the manuscript I'm writing ready while working on the Documentary of the event we run October 25/26 and the course we're already running are the top priorities right now. And seeing Geordie get his Gordon Lightfoot Guitar sculpture erected before its unveiling on October 14 is another piece to the puzzle of my life that I think others would be interested in hearing about.

At the event happening October 25-26, 2025 at Souls Path Retreats in Blackstock artists will have an opportunity to attend a retreat for artists that want to collaborate and contribute to the artistic community that we are all co-creating and being willing to volunteer energy toward this event and opportunities will help us extend the impact.

In the words of famous orators and influencers "I have a dream" is a powerful way to capture the hearts of an audience and I really do have a dream that involves all of us.

My dream is designed to benefit you and your family, as well as my own, because when we stop pretending "they" and "them" are not us in costume form, then we get back to being real together, independent from all the ideas we took on in pursuit of being enough.

Our task is to remember that we are enough and that we are all also at different levels of ability to sponsor or fund such adventures as is what is being offered on this weekend. So helping one another by taking the weight off my shoulders to burden the costs alone, helps me invite more people who have skills to offer but lack the means to cover such a ticket price but can do an exchange if they don't feel financially pressed to participate - vending is part of the tickets and extra sponsorships will go toward people travelling to come who could use the help.

I am looking to hire a chef and kitchen assistant to prepare healthy and nutritious hot and yummy food in the kitchen on Saturday and Sunday while we have a loosely scheduled day of workshops, roundtables and presentations from people with ideas they have packaged in a form they wish to share with us. As well as stories that follow the Empowered Storytelling Method.

Now is our chance to hear what each other are promoting and whether we want in on it or not, without taking offence or throwing someone out with the idea that offended or differed from what had already been bought.

October 25-26, 2025 will be when we come together to look at the REAL Story of ROME that will be part of the Documentary and Book Launch Pre-Crew of people who are committed to learning the theories I have assembled and will present that weekend in the unveiling of the manuscript turned workbook that will be provided as part of your retreat package.

I have been pursuing and sharing with those who've been willing to listen to the story I tell, in the way that I do, about how we got here and how we can shift out of here as well.

This will be our first pre-launch crew meeting to discuss how we could all work together to share this story to a larger network right from the beginning of its launch, along with a calendar that can feature and promote us who want to work together and stay in touch. As well as featured members who have contributed to the PIWU Network early.

This weekend will capture footage for the Documentary being created about how we did the seemingly impossible and united fragmented personalities and personas within ourselves and the collective consciousness, in the effort to create something better than would be if we weren't there.

This is also a filming day for a documentary I've been talking about for years about community building, leadership, communication and progressive thoughts shared in real time with actionable ideas that are now choosing to come together for the benefit of us all. It's being filmed as we do what we do at the events we'll have live that will have a record captured of what we did at them.

And in the process of being part of this event, you'll :

• be featured in the Documentary about how we did the seemingly impossible.

• get to attend workshops on Free Energy Projects, Cultural Development, Communication and Life Skills, Health and Wellness that require investment of TEEAM by a solid team.

• get to meet people who have explored a natural interest in captured subjects who have learned pieces that plug into the bigger picture.

• learn the symbolic framework that culture has used to create a skeletal frame, nervous system, veins, skin, blood and sap like in the familial tree structure.

• compare the world tree concept with the Ancestral Lineal Estate that holds our Equity in Trust, entrusted to Trustees who've been commissioned to work for the Crown corpus that has consumed all those who work on or for it.

• be able to cut ties with false contracts you've made with bad sources.

Sponsorships would be greatly appreciated as this effort is intended to unite us, and get the teens and youth involved too! I'll be sharing more about that as we get closer to the event but making this a family oriented experience for one of the events is important to us and why it's happening on Sunday October 26!

Teenagers who need to get their hours for volunteering can reach out if you want to be part of the youth council with the PEACEFULL INNER Warriors United and I will introduce you to people who may be able to open a whole new realm of possibilities to artists wanting to learn skills and hopefully come for the event!

Room rentals are available for $100/night in the Souls Path lodge or $120-160/night in Lishman accommodations next door (there are 4 independent units available).

Purplehillhospitality.ca is where you can see the options 4 couples or singles will have available for rental by deposit after discussion; the lodge, dome home, motorhome (used in Operation Migration) and the Yurt are presently available to rent on this weekend.

Food is going to be looked after by Sasha and Amanda who will be part of the experience and are preparing a menu that will be shareable within a few days. $222 for a meal plan is requested to cover their time and cost of ingredients for meals throughout Saturday and Sunday.

Copies of my manuscript cost me $55/script and I'm going to give everyone who buys a ticket a copy of it - so I do also need numbers in advance because I'm making a limited edition version of this manuscript for this event and I don't want you leaving the event without one. You will also receive a copy of FULLY COMMITTED: The Sacred Sojourn of NOW so you can be part of the study group that will happen next year when we revisit this book together. I like that it's narrated on Audible, as is FATHER GOOSE which is the book that inspired the Canadian Classic "Fly Away Home".

I'd be glad to get you access to that audiobook if you want to know more about the Bill Lishman Memorial Sculpture that Geordie will be working on once he's finished with the Gordon Lightfoot Guitar Sculpture he's presently working on in the shop while I write this on a table nearby. That's whole storyline is worth a day dedicated to it and I'd be glad to make it be a scheduled part of the weekend with enough expressed interest - let me know you'd like a guided Tour with the talk so that we can get you all set up.

With that all said, you can send me an etransfer to reserve your retreat experience and secure one of the shared accommodation spaces in the lodge, bunkies or options next door on Lishman lands with a donation of $555 to cover all of it (meals, accommodations and handouts). If you'd like to give more to help toward the event coordination, it would be sincerely appreciated!!!

While I appreciate it's more than some can budget for right now, it is a stretch goal that can help inspire growth in you who stretches to come in order to meet the people who will be part of the story we can tell about our involvement with the modern(a) age Woodstock event.

Volunteer opportunities and tent sleeping are available to neutralize the cost for those who wish to attend but can't pay the above.

I remember paying $3000 to go to a conference that Caroline Myss held in Arizona on the Power of our choices and I still have the notes I took from it that I could share with those who want to hear it. For I'm feeling the relevance of her work reemerging and I'm looking forward to touching on that and seeing how it all fits together October 25.

I do hope you'll be able to make it!

Contact me with questions at laurajeh@piwu.ca and I look forward to meeting you!
