Over the weekend of September 26-27th, a representative coalition from IAAP traveled to New Hampshire to participate in an Attunement Gathering focused by Andrew Shier, Liz Turner, and Nancy Frederick. The event took place at The Harris Center, which is a beautiful building in the woods, on acres of preserved land. To express the beauty and serenity of this Center is difficult, but it was obvious that it was a sacred and blessed place. Kathy Lesmeister, Carolyn Dorsey, and I would like to share some of our experiences and thoughts from this Gathering.
As I entered this facility, I was immediately struck by the atmosphere of Radiance. I felt as though this space had been held for us for a long while. I spent the time at this Gathering listening deeply, feeling broadly, and centering. With an assortment of tables filling the center in a circle, we worked with Attunement protocols focused on grounding, I felt a deep and abiding connection to the land where we were, and to time, though my sense of time felt rather elongated, or transcendent. We listened to Paul Price, and I began to think about judgment in relation to Attunement, and what that meant for me in this specific chaotic time in history. We listened to Chris Jorgensen, and I thought some more about my place in this world, my sacred responsibility, and how to approach the future without fear, but with assurance. I saw this weekend as wonderfully potent, carrying the substance of Love and Unified Radiance outward into the universe. I am so grateful for the opportunity to participate, and I appreciated very much what New England and its Attunement Community offered. ~Erin

So right, Erin! It was a delight to be welcomed into the New England community and to feel right at home with our fellow co-Creators, most of whom I’d never met before. The day before the sessions started, we were privileged to be invited to Andrew and Peri’s home. He took us on a tour around the property, where we met (and fed carrots to) the horses, and got to explore the beautiful home that Peri grew up in. The feeling there was peaceful, nurturing, loving – attuned! (No surprise.)
The next day, as people arrived for the first session, I was struck by how much love was being generated as they were greeting each other and hugging. I created nametags for them as they arrived as a way to meet and serve them – and got some hugs along the way, too. Sharing attunement on tables with our extended community was just lovely! And the food people brought to share was delicious, varied, healthy and bountiful – two long tables were full.
The building was incredible. I’m so glad Erin added a photo of it for you to see! I felt that our unified radiation was being lifted up along those gorgeous wooden beams and focused out through the skylight at the top, spreading out into the Field around us. I don’t think it was a coincidence that the promised nor’easter storm went elsewhere, leaving us with milder wind and rain. (And thank you also to our planetary team).
The depth of conversation brought by Andrew, Paul and Chris challenged and uplifted our thoughts and hearts. What a privilege to bathe in that! It was such an honor to represent our Midwest attunement community. Deep thanks to IAAP for making this possible! ~Carolyn

You are both correct on the beauty of the Harris Center and the incredible sacred space the land and building hold of deep grounding peaceful energy that moves through the center and the land. All of the owners had a deep love for the land and you could feel that throughout all of the sacred land and building.
There is something so special about coming into an attunement weekend and feeling the love and excitement of being together in person. The hugs that are shared, smiles on everyone’s faces and the twinkle in their eyes for what will be created and shared together.
I am in the process of getting hearing aids and was having trouble hearing Andrew talk during the weekend. I moved more into sitting in the silence and listening to what would come forward through the energetics of the weekend more than the words. I noticed Andrew was orchestrating the attunement protocol allowing time to be in the silence longer with each endocrine to appreciate the silence and to listen for what could come forward as we shared attunement with each other on the tables arranged around the room. The energetics of the room slowed down together and the silence had a voice. The energetics were blending and weaving together through each person and our room during the weekend. Creating a beautiful substance of Love that was during the nor’easter storm. I wonder what we created and where it went in the creative field.
Andrew, Chris, Paul and Nancy, your talks always take me to a new level of being, I appreciate your wisdom.
I am grateful to be part of the New England community. You have a wonderful community and I am glad Erin, Carolyn, and I got to be part of your community. Thank you to the IAAP for making this possible! ~Kathy
