 The sacred Katun
River -- known as
the "Mother of the World" -- flows through Altai from its
source at Mt. Belukha. This photo is from last summer, just after I swam
in its icy waters.
Altai is now
in deep-freeze -- at -30 degrees -- so this is a good
time for reviewing, celebrating, and planning. We've got lots of little
goodies to cheer up your winter!
REVIEW
-
A HUGE thank you to all of you who made
2011 such a spectacularly successful year. The Altai Mir
University 2011 Annual Report is online with a summary of our
year's activities.
-
 I
remind and encourage you to continue to download the life force that was
released onto the planetary energy grid last August. Most of us who were
present in Altai got a very clear demonstration of the healing power of
this energy. When you ground this energy through yourself into the
Earth, it powerfully releases the disease-generating energy blocks in
your body. I imagine it like a waterfall on my head and
shoulders.

 Curt
DuBois and Cyndy Sheldon of the Bellingham IONS club put music to my
slide-show about Altai. The music is the throat-singing that we recorded
this past summer. Check it out!
CELEBRATE
-
 Explore the Irbus Ecotour FaceBook page. A
coalition of indigenous Altai, Tuvan, and Mongolian peoples is
organizing a first-ever transboundary ecotourism route focusing on the
habitat of the snow leopard. There are links to some nice
videos.

It is now 2012, woohooo! and I must admit
that the anticipated energy shifts are well underway in my reality. Stay
tuned for a new batch of my visionary paintings, which are in process
now.
PLAN
-
 Svetlana
Katynova, our main Altai liaison, says there is a new group of talented
young throat-singers The teenagers we help come out of subsistence
situations, and will only be able to continue their
education with outside help. Please sign up to donate a modest amount
monthly.
-
A major goal of Altai Mir University is the
sharing of traditional wisdom for the welfare of humanity. This Hopi message is powerful and
life-affirming.
-
On March 20th, I plan to participate in the
fourth gathering in San Francisco of the Altai Alliance -- a coalition of
American nonprofit organizations working in Altai. We will coordinate
our efforts to optimize our effectiveness and minimize our "footprint."
Two to three of our main Altai liaison people are brought over for the
meeting to guide us, ensuring that our plans are actually
helpful.
-
 On
March 24-25, an open Women's Grassroots Conference is being held in Seattle, with
internet connection for online participation by out-of-towners. The
agenda will be set by the participants.
Please share this information
widely!
With great joy and
gratitude!!
Altai is more than a place it is a sacred way of being.
 
Altai Mir University
