Joshua Tree Additional information

Additional information for the 2020 Net of Light Gathering at Joshua Tree Retreat Center

Registration: Contact Penni Thorpe:penni@healingflowerenergies.com

All are welcome to our Net of Light Gathering! For those who are new to this work, we ask that you read one of Sharon McErlane’s books and receive an Empowerment. Over the many years of holding these Gatherings, we have found this preparation work greatly enhances the experience.

Books: The first book, “A Call to Power: The Grandmothers Speak”describes Sharon’s original meeting with the Grandmothers 21 years ago, and is a good starting place. All Books are available through the netoflight.org website under the “BOOKS” tab,https://netoflight.org/#books

Empowerment: If you have not already received the Grandmothers Empowerment (described in the first book), we ask that you do so before the Gathering. Please contact Katie MacMahon with questions about how to go about receiving an Empowerment.rkmacmahon@sbcglobal.net .
