June 2025 Events
Dear Beautiful Friends,
​
Our email list and our community keeps growing- as more folks find us, and as more like hearted people move to Hot Springs! It’s so fun and gratifying! 


Come and check out the new Tai Chi Ballroom in the woods (a new flat space  that Kelly and I created), say hello to all of the fruit trees, and enjoy the space near the Mother Mary Mulberry.

Last newsletter I gave you an email address to connect with Jessica McGrew to get on the Hot Springs Holistic Community email list- and I inadvertently left off the r in springs.... Here is what I wrote, with the corrected email address.

I want to encourage you to contact Jessica McGrew to be added to the Hot Springs Holistic Community email list so you know what other events from our community are going on around town, besides the events at the Star Portal.  And,  you can list  YOUR events.  I have people asking me to put their wonderful events that aren't happening at the portal  into this email, and I decline, simply because I don't choose to take on one more job.. and I'm so grateful that there IS a place for you to put them.  And the founder, Jessica McGrew, is AWESOME!
It's another great way to connect our community.  You can email her

[email protected]

Many of you remember Kim Hodous- she came to the portal and gave a talk on Happiness.  Now she is having her book launch party  on Wednesday June 18 at 4:30   to release her brand new book called Beyond Grief.  I got to be a beta reader, so I know how great this book is. I feel It's a transmission.  A guidepost to the soul.  Check out the flyer.

It feels like something is brewing for the summer solstice, and whatever it is hasn't revealed itself yet. Stay tuned.

Here's what's happening at the Portal

May 2025 Newsletter

Hi Beautiful Friends
You're Invited ~ A Celebration for Pilar on Sunday, May 11 ~ 3:33 PM
 
at the Star Portal

Join us for a wonder filled gathering to celebrate:
 All Mothers
🌍 Gaia, our Earth Mother
The auspicious and powerful Wesak Full Moon
✨ And most especially, to honor our treasured Pilar, who will be moving to Pennsylvania at the end of this month.

🌺 Sacred Ceremony | 3:33 PM – 4:44 PM

Join us for this beautiful ceremonial event as we honor Pilar with our love, laughter, and reverence.
Pilar has the floor!
Pilar will share her unique art, speak from her heart, and perhaps even guide us in a bit of Qi Gong.

​We will begin promptly at 3:33 PM, entering the sanctuary in silence through the front door, accompanied by sacred music invoking the Mother Divine.  (you can drop your food off first in the kitchen)

You’ll be blessed with:
• A mugwort smudge (said to be the "mother of all herbs")  followed by a specially chosen Star Essence spray and complimentary essence cocktail.
• And a sacred invocation

In this beautifully elevated space, Pilar has the floor—to share her art, her stories, her spirit. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience before she and her original art move east.
 4:44 PM ‘til whenever
After the ceremony we will have a scrumptious  vegan pot luck~ and we will have a special table set up for pilar in the sanctuary and every 5-10 minutes or so we will rotate folks from the table- so it will be like Pilars receiving line- where she gets to do all of the talking and will also give each person a special gift (your party favor)

Come to the ceremony only, or come to the vegan pot luck only or ideally, come to both and have double the fun.  And then there is the bonfire.  We can share stories, make music and whatever unfolds.

It would be awesome if you would respond to this email- (to [email protected]) if you plan to come!
That would be helpful for knowing how many party favors etc. and if you just show up spontaneously, we will be happy to have your presence even if you don’t respond...

If there is something special for Pilar you would like to add, please let me know. (or don’t, and surprise us all)  ~ Looking for all the help I can get.  Let’s make this super special, and let’s all have a great high vibe time.  After the potluck it will be bonfire time- and music and whatever else happens.
It’s going to be wonderfully memorable ~  and we will add to the light of the world duing this powerful time of the Wesak Full moon and Mother's Day!

Everyone is invited. Because that’s how Pilar rolls.  Open to everyone.  Loves everyone.
We are sad to see our treasure move on, and happy for her to enter a new season, closer to her fabulous kids.

Feel free to print out some photos you might have of Pilar and bring them and I trust someone will volunteer to get a photo album of some sort and we can put them in it.  Any volunteers? Text or email me.
And perhaps we will have a photo shoot with Pilar… to also put into the album.  And if you can’t make it, you could send a digital card…with or without a photo~ perhaps one that we could print out and put in this album that is going to show up.

It would also be great to fill our sanctuary with flowers in her honor, so please put that on your to bring list if you have some. (and please, if possible, come a few minutes early  so we can place them.)

This is all evolving as I write this lol- Sorry not sorry this is so long.  
Any volunteers to help ~ please let me know.  Thank Goodness St. Connie will be around to keep us on task.
If you know Pilar, this is your chance to say adios and honor her brilliance.
If you haven’t experienced her yet—this is your moment.
Pilar is love-filled, wildly unique, and memorable.

Hi Beautiful Friends, 
Finally, after a month with 5 Saturdays (EMS is first and third Saturdays) and torrential rain, we are finally having EMS this again Saturday April 19 at 11:30.  YAY!  Hope to see you there.  Mika will be there in case you want to ask any questions about his upcoming workshops.

It's a great time to walk the labyrinth and say hi to our new fruit trees.  (there are 6!- wondering what # 7 will be, since 7 is our  portal lucky number).  Notice the sign at the road has finally been painted a fresh white, (with flower essences in the paint)  waiting for the new sign.

The phenomenal breath class with Laurie Ellis was breath giving, life giving and life changing!  I trust she will do it again.  So good....

Here's what's coming up.  
Please check the website for details.  There are flyers for all the events.  You can sign up now for Mika's classes.  Please note that the Kirtan with Satya and Friend has been changed to Wednesday April 30 at 5PM.  And there is another fabulous Gong event with Faye coming up in May.  Gentle Bear has another well loved Shamanic Journey and the mens group and womans group are ongoing!

December Newsletter
Hi Dear Friends,

Men's group this week (where women were invited)  has been postponed due to the unexpected death of Marks aunt.  Mark is in Tulsa indefinitely. Men's group will continue when he returns.

New Event:
Thursday 12:12   5:30-6:45 PM
Since it is 12:12 on Thursday I feel guided to meet in the rarified energy of this auspicious time to begin another event-
Cosmic Conversations. 
Every one is invited.
At this moment the format is wide open.  I know that 2025 portends greatness in the Cosmos, and sharing high vibe information is a valuable (and fun and interesting) way to accelerate our growth and ascension.  The idea is to share inspiration and new things we are learning that are conscious and uplifting.  It could be books, postcasts, blogs, vlogs, insights etc. about all kinds of cosmic stuff that might include astrology, human design, cintamani jewels, crystals, health and healing techniques, self help, sound, meditating, and way more,  I look forward to this meeting to see what unfolds. Come with an open heart ready to co-create magic. It would be great if you have something uplifting to share that you feel would aid our evolution. What's lighting you up these days?   I suspect it will also include a short group meditation. It could include speakers.  We will begin on time and end on time, and if folks want to stay and chat that's fine!
ALL of this is subject to change lol depending on who shows up and what we choose to co create.  

no charge- love offerings gratefully accepted 


11 Wednesday 6:00
Women's Sacred Sharing Circle, Divine Feminine Meditation and Intimate Sharing from the Heart with Nia and Leesa

12 Thursday 5:30

November 2024 Newsletter
Hi Beautiful Friends,
 
My Gratitude is Overflowing!
WoW what an amazing time last week at the Portal. Faye's Sonic Gong Bath on 11:11 to a packed house, followed by Patricia Cota Robles telling us about the importance of the time between  11:11 and the Winter Solstice. Then a few days later - the beautiful high vibe SoundScape on the Full Moon  with Karla, Linda, Satya, Heather Honey and Faye, followed by a yummy vegan potluck and bonfire.  We are living the dream.
As most of you know, I am a passionate vegan.  I have an agreement with the elementals to keep the portal vegan.  It is with eager anticipation, joy and DeLight that I announce:

Sunday December 1 3:30-6:00ish at the Star Portal Deliciously Delectable  RAW Vegan, Vibrational Essence Infused, Love and  Gratitude multi course Dining Experience
You must pre register.   $33.00 ~ Space for 33.  This is NOT a pot luck.  Text me at (805) 453 4898
Probable Menu: (subject to change if we find upgrades)
Aperitif:  Freshly juiced, essence infused, celery apple shot 
There will also be a light Crystal Flower Essence Punch available throughout.
The 
“Wine” with dinner will be an unfermented dark red glass of 2024 Wyman Wild Blueberry Juice. Bubbly or Still
Appetizers- 
Cauliflower Poppers
and more appetizers to be determined and I’m hoping they will include some of Bruces delicious seed crackers.

Salad: 
Lemony Persimonny Fennel Orange Pine Nut  Delight with a zingy citrus drizzle
Another salad yet to be determined.  Maybe with Avocados and Tomatoes. 

Main Dishes:
Savory Veggie Nut Terrine with gravy
Creamy Cashew Carrot Zoodle Alfredo
I trust we will fit something in with Pesto, somewhere.

Sides:
Green Bean /Snap Pea Harmony with Lemon Dijon Orange Cranberry Bliss topped with Cinnamon and Pomegranate Rubies Glazed Sweet Potatoes with Pistachio crumble
Dessert:
Raspberry “Cheesecake” with almond date crust 
Chocolate Mousse 
Apple Pie Delight
Do remember, this is all RAW, Vegan, Organic as possible, gluten free, no refined sugar.  Dates, Maple Syrup and Honey will be used to sweeten.  (I know the bee keeper and feel good about the honey)
And definitely made with love, mantras and Star Essences.

 I’ve made all of these with the exception of the Veggie Nut Terrine and I can attest to their deliciousness. And I’ve never done it all at once, or for 33  people. (thus the need for 9 to 11 helpers lol) This is all a fun  experiment.  
Helper Request 
If you want to be a helper and learn how to prepare all of these delectable dishes, that will mean coming on Saturday at 2:30 for pie making, table organizing, and planning for Sunday.  Sunday will be coming at 10:30 and doing all of the rest of the food prep and set up. (maybe later if we get more done on Saturday)  I’m looking for 9-11 helpers and have 6 so far. (Michele, Lori, Amy, Bruce, Nia and Faye) 
It will be fun, enlightening, and it will be necessary to sample the food lol. If you sign up for this, (or have already) more details will come

This is an opportunity for some of you tto learn some food prep, which you have asked for.  (And some of you  know way more than I do)  And have some fun beaming love into the food.  Let me know right away if you want to do this, as space is limited. It’s possible to come only one day if you let me know now that is your preference.

Helpers will also pay $33- The money is going to pay for the supplies and the best quality, as organic as possible, highest vibe food we can find. I’ll be taking a trip to the Natural Market in Little Rock. 

Please let me know what food restrictions you have when you register.
 We will let you know the ingredients of each dish as it is served. 

There will be prayers, blessings, anointing, moments of silence, and I trust we will have some music if some folks show up who can sing and/or play instruments and give us a serenade now and then during our dining experience and/or between courses.

Something inspirational to share is VERY welcome and Encouraged.  We will be focusing on conscious conversation.  We want to co-create the highest vibe possible, especially during this powerful time occurring up to the winter solstice. 

I am open to hearing suggestions, requests, additions..  

If you want to attend, or attend and be a helper,  please text me asap-(805) 453-4898.  There are 33 dining spots and already 8 are taken and I've only announced it at EMS.
You must preregister for this event!  
Once I let you know that your space is reserved you can pay  via  Zelle, or Venmo or Check or Cash- and I can give you those details.

Alert … I have never done this before.

Again, make your reservations right away, just in case it decides to fill up. Its's going to be super fun and delicious.

You can sign up for this Vegan Extravaganza by texting me at 805 453 4898.

Also remember there is still time to sign up for Mika’s Holistic Flower of Life workshop this weekend. The last one was spectacular, and I know this one will be even more so as the energies are going up up up!!!

Kai will perform this poem in person at Hot Springs National Park’s Eclipse Fest, April 7th at 1:45 on Arlington Lawn,

Dear Beautiful Friends

First - a huge shout out for Connie and Michele for organizing the great spring cleanup at the Star Portal, and for Satya, Nia, Monica and Mark for showing up and helping to get it done!  It looks and feels GREAT!
And we are all SO GRATEFUL! 
 
Go into The Magical Woods!  The Teepee is up on the new 7 sided deck,  the prayer wheel is ready for your prayers, the labyrinth loves to be walked and it is so pretty with the Trout Lilies and Mayapples and Spring Beauties and Blood root and so many other wonderful wild flowers blooming.  And that moss!  It’s so exciting.  A goal is to get the paths so full of moss that it's yummy to walk the labyrinth barefoot! 

Another goal is to get 3 long raised planter beds to replace the benches in front of the building. to grow herbs and flowers- and maybe even some veggies. 
Yes, they will be painted purple to match the portal.  

Upcoming Events:
 

Full Moon Shamanic Journey with Gentle Bear, (Bruce Durward).  Sunday March  at 4:00 PM
