Attunement Guild News
Day of Attunement facilitated by Judie Diamond at Parham, Ontario - Canada.
Susan: I loved how the monarch butterfly wove its way through our Day of Attunement. It was a perfect symbol of the beauty, grace, delicacy and delight we experienced together as we shared our loving energy through sound, movement, conversation and food. I loved the quiet country setting, which allowed us to do some deep listening internally, with each other and with the surrounding natural world. I know we released a loving blessing into the world and I came away nourished and at peace. The attunement current is life itself! I look forward to our next opportunity to be together. Linda: It was wonderful! As I said to you previously, I was galloping toward this event. It truly is something special to have face-to-face gatherings, experience each other's presence in a multi-faceted way - seeing, hearing, feeling and being together. I wouldn't have missed it for the world. So, to me, when we get together in the spirit of Attunement, it's like I'm recharging my batteries, strengthening my core, my Being, my larger Self. Thank you, Judie, for providing such a beautiful venue for us to gather. P.S. I found that when I arrived home, I was not as affected as I often am by others’ (negative) emotions. I accredit this to the lovely, nurturing weekend I had with you all at Parham…. Simona: Discovering Attunement is discovering who I am, having the welcome revelation that all is well with me. No matter how bad things may look at times I am dancing in this river of love and peace. I feel free to be me. My soul is smiling and tearing at the same time. Images and colours pass through my eyes, and all the life I lived before seems but a dream. Now I am awake and aware. The images follow me everywhere. And all I know is: I love to share this colourful dance of energies and vibrations I have been blessed to receive.

A CELEBRATION OF ATTUNEMENT October 10-12, 2008 Rainbow Farm.
International Emissaries Attunement Guild & International Association of Attunement Practitioners invite you to "A CELEBRATION OF ATTUNEMENT" at Rainbow Farm in Indiana from October 10 - 12, 2008. This is a time to honor the significance of the energy shift we are all feeling and how that is playing out in our lives, friendships and associations - a time of collaboration and exploration of the current of Attunement. Each of you brings something unique into this world of Attunement through which a spirit of blessing is extended. Given the many situations that are now present on our global scene, ranging from food and oil shortages to climate change, this is an opportunity to join together in honoring the power of Attunement. We extend an invitation to you to come together and share in this special time. In Loving Spirit, Joyce Ellenbecker, Andrew Shier, Registration:
Reflections on the Guild Gathering Teachers’ Sessions Paulette Lieska Note: The Teachers Sessions focused on our experiential ethics requirement, Right use of Power.
I feel the earth quaking and the seas rising and hearts filled with the blend of emotions that both fear and hope create...and I am thankful to have a conscious connection of deepening awareness as all feels to be lifting to a level which will allow something new to come in.
Comments from participants at the Glen Ivy Attunement Guild gathering 2008.
Some part of my definition of Attunement:
Thank you everyone. I felt joyous and at home from the moment I set foot on the premises here at Glen Ivy, and that joyful feeling has remained throughout (may it continue!) Thanks to each and every one of you. Blessings
Big Hug of Jerusalem June 24, 2008 - Jeff Goldstein.
It is an exciting opportunity to join with light workers from around the world and hold hands as a statement of world peace. "What is the purposeof the hug?", I see it as an opportunity to uplift the spiritual atmosphere surrounding Jerusalem. To feed the feelings of love for this ancient city and all that it has stood for. When we gather together in loving agreement, we exponentially magnify each participant's vibration of love, light, peace and hope. Creating a collective burst of hope for humanity. To me this burst of hope is leading humanity, out of the collective chaos. This will help elevate the collective spiritual atmosphere and hopefully inspiring everyone to live a more loving, respectful life. SO come join us! Here is the schedule for June 24th: Gather at three meeting points around the Old City.
Meet and connect to our bigger family of the Lovers of Jerusalem. Spreading out around the walls of the Old City. The Big Hug- a human Hug to surround and embrace the walls with shared prayers for peace and unity and for a life of happiness for all beings. End of Second Jerusalem Hug and closure gathering at Habonim Garden for sharing of Music and blessings. YOU ARE WELCOME TO JOIN US Bring family, friends and your musical instruments. The Jerusalem Hug shows the world we can come together, in shared respect and love for the Holy City of Jerusalem. To shift human consciousness from separation to unity, WE can only do it TOGETHER. Anybody interested please contact me Jeff Goldstein 02-643-0189 jeffleah@actcom.co.il
Thirteenth Annual Attunement Guild Gathering
Each one was given a metallic butterfly to place, in turn, on “our” spot on the globe, be it our country of heritage, our current residence or the place on earth where we feel most at home. Thus began our adventure in world service. Paul Price kicked off our first full day with a broad and deep consideration of global consciousness. Joseph Antell moved us through an understanding of how we hold memory patterns in our cells. He led us through an attunement in which we collectively worked to clear one global pattern. Attunements were shared often and in many ways: group attunements were varied and included an inventive and powerful spiral attunement led by Alicia Alvarez. We were treated to reminiscences by Jim Wellemeyer and Hugh Duff, allowing us to virtually taste their early experiences with attunement, going back to the early days with Uranda, Albert Ackerly and others. Chris Jorgensen shared his huge vision of attunement cosmology, leading us from past paradigms to current reality and beyond in a clear, yet visionary way. Louise Broomberg from South Africa shared some intimate stories from her country and how her thinking has been shaped by specific experiences. Jonathan MacIntyre, our “Aussie” friend, brought flavours of “down under” which added to the mix. Evenings were filled with sound and music – first exploring the world of sound and attunement with Tony Palombo, then sharing our gifts of voice (spoken and sung), acting (some hilarious skits) and musicianship. We discovered a comedienne in our midst, as Rosemary MacIntyre “highlighted” Jonathan (MacIntyre’s) narrative to their home video. (The Australian quartet was notable as well!) Nancy Rathlou and David Washington contributed generously to the evening, as the rest of us enjoyed snacks and drinks while watching ringside. Much of the joy and substance of the time happened between sessions – on early morning walks, tête-à-têtes, small group conversations, in our residences after hours and, of course, at mealtimes. Sunday we concluded our time with the spirit of celebration. Our final presentation was given by Louise, Chris and Paul, each articulating an aspect of perception and awareness that we all appreciated deeply. As each one departed, the spirit of joy and co-creation was palpable, each one carrying the blended substance in our energy-fields to be drawn on as needed as we go about our attunement-oriented lives. A four disk set of sessions from the Attunement Guild Gathering at Glen Ivy is now available. The set includes talks by Paul Price, Jonathan MacIntyre, Joseph Antell and Chris Jorgensen, and the Sunday morning presentation with Louise Broomberg, Chris Jorgensen and Paul Price. Cost is $30.00 USD plus shipping and handling. If you are interested contact Joyce Ellenbecker.

Attunement Practitioners gathering in Ensenada, Mexico by Leandro & Maria
This longing was fulfilled in Ensenada, March 21-23, when our tenth attunement practitioners’ gathering was graced with the presence of Paul Price and his wonderful wife Nancy Rathlou from Toronto, Canada, who joined us and 17 Spanish-speaking attunement practitioners. It was indeed a very special time considering the confluence of several larger cycles that were occurring: Friday the 21st was the full moon, Saturday the 22nd, the Spring Equinox and Sunday the 23rd Easter. There was a lot of movement in the planetary and world cycles! We were delightedly aware of the significance of the time as we gathered, and we used our time to consciously extend a blessing to all of the factors, known and unknown. The gathering took place on the third floor of the beautiful home of the Lucero family, who built this particular space exclusively for spiritual events: a great room painted blue with a balcony overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Climbing the steps to go higher was like climbing to heaven and we were in heaven! We had a marvelous time with Paul sharing the themes that are currently moving in his consciousness: The consciousness of the practitioner and the phoenix (representing a new cycle of higher consciousness) rising out of the old ashes. Paul also shared his experience of working with different physical imbalances in his Attunement practice. He spoke of the significant networking that is happening amongst different spiritual movements and how we all play an important part in it. The message was very clear: “You are love: you are needed and you are loved.” Nancy set a sacred, joyful atmosphere through inviting us to chant together. She sang some of her songs, which those of us who have heard them, know can evoke a prayerful tone. Maria translated the “Blessing Song” by Martín Exeter into Spanish, and when Nancy sang it, the hearts and minds of all of us joined in a collective prayer of gratitude. It was awesome! Sunday we gathered to celebrate Life and the Resurrection of Consciousness together with a group of about 40 friends. We followed with a powerful attunement circle guided by Andres Lucero, who is a spiritual leader for a group of young people. Kathy Gutierrez, our beautiful friend and also a true loving spiritual leader in Ensenada, organized this event together with the Lucero family. Meals were provided by each one of the participants bringing an offering for this particular feast. We were enfolded in the sweet and joyful care of Brenda and Norma, 22 and 20 years old, who surrounded us with their love by providing snacks during our time together. We are so grateful that Paul and Nancy could be with us and bring their rich blessings. Dreams come true when our hearts are open to let God be God through us!! Love and blessings to all of you for your loving support during this time!! See more pictures in the photogallery.
RE-SETTING MY INTENT CREATES A HOLY-DAY By Jonathan MacIntyre Attunement Practitioner & Teacher - The Riverdell Spiritual Centre, Hillier, South Australia. How are you at seeing the forest from among the trees, the stars through the clouds, or recognizing the dark space under the base of a candle where the light doesn’t shine? I have had a potent experience of this the last while; a valuable lesson in recognizing how my attachment to certain ideas around a holiday/holy-day was blocking the manifestation of the very conditions I wished for! No matter how Spiritual I think I am, or how much in alignment with Source, there are moments when getting out of my woods to see the forest, or climbing a mountain to rise above my clouds, or simply lifting up my candle and looking at the base is THE thing to do. And, it needs to happen for me at all levels - Spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically. My process definitely got stuck at the physical level this last while!! My wife Rosemary and I have just returned from 4 weeks in Western Australia, enjoying some holiday and holy-day time and teaching a Sacred Radiance 3 weekend there as well. We decided to drive - a three day adventure in itself - so that tog e t he r we could enjoy this vast country, visit loved ones, journey down south (of Perth) for some simple by-the-beach caravanning and quiet time, and to then teach our attunement course before returning home. I was conscious that this was a time for me to come away from my physical home base with family and friends, work, etc., and to gaze on my metaphorical forest, check out the stars, and see what was on the base of my candle. I had been looking forward to the whole opportunity for quite some time and our/my intent was to see some family and friends in Perth as we’d planned, then find a quiet southerly beach spot at which to “veg out”, letting go of things for a while. Having seen those we had wanted to in the first week there, we loaded up the pop-top van (generously loaned to us by Ruth Barrett-Lennard) and began our journey driving south in the fairly abundant eastern Australian bush. “At last some R & R time” I thought as off we zoomed! Not too far along the way, Rosemary commented to me about my poor attitude and my rather vocal discrimination toward those on the road in front of me who were going too slow for my liking, especially in my keenness to get where we were likely to “set up camp” and “veg out”. At the time I wasn’t happy about those who would keep me from it one second longer than was necessary.....didn’t they realize I was on a mission of mercy for me, R & R, stars, a forest awaited!!?? I hadn’t recognized that although I’d supposedly left that physical space a week before; my consciousness was not coming out of it. I had a fixed sense that until I was installed on a beach somewhere, I wasn’t out of the forest; I had more mountains to climb! It took a while to reset my intent and sure enough, the actions that followed allowed the consequences, the manifestation of a holy-day atmosphere, to actually be energizing and nourishing, rather than gruff, judgmental and stormy as it had begun. My own Attunement really started! A great lesson – no matter where I am, the clarity of my intent, my actions and the ensuing consequences prove out the quality of my alignment, my being in tune with God. Speaking of consequences, it was interesting to me that when we arrived back at Ruth Barrett-Lennard’s home some one(s) attempted to siphon fuel out of our petrol tank during the night – a fact made obvious by seeing my petrol cap lying on the lawn by the car next morning. Was it linked to my own lowly atmosphere on the road, which brought back this kind of response, this consequence? It certainly has given me pause for thought and helped sharpen my vigilance around my intent! What is that saying? “Be careful what you think/wish for, you just may get it!!” Download the full newsletter!
The Creative Dynamics of Light and Sound — Make a Joyful Noise - Anthony Palombo
Carrier wave for Spirit We are made of light and sound. Light is spirit and sound a carrier wave for its creative expression. In light are the vibrational frequencies that determine the intricate designs made manifest in the natural world. In sound are the energy pulses and waves upon which spirit is carried and by which molecules are moved to give form to those intricate designs of spirit. Thus is the world created by light and sound. In the story of Creation as recorded for us in the Book of Genesis, we have the spirit of the Creator moving out upon the face of the waters of the deep void of space and speaking the word that carried the command: "Let there be Light." Out of light and sound is all else made, including our physical bodies, minds and hearts. A tool to facilitate attunement Sound, then, is a tool for creation. Not just any sound. Sound that carries a tone and a wave form that is coherent and pure. We call that "music"— the "music of the spheres." Such music arises out of silence and stillness.
At a core level, we are already whole and complete. The frequencies of the Spirit of Love, as reflected in the rainbow of the light spectrum and in the seven notes of the musical octave, are already present and inherent in the Tone that is sounding in all of creation, including our flesh, maintaining its existence and function. The physical body will reflect that wholeness to the extent there is attunement with spirit at the core of one's Being. In Being are all the qualities and characteristics needed for life and healthy function in our physical bodies. So, wholeness, health, already is . If there is a lack of the experience of health in the physical body-mind and heart, it may well be due to a lack of attunement between the perfection of Being and the physical form. The outer form knows health and wholeness when the qualities and characteristics of inner Being are actually expressed in one's living, and two of the chief qualities of Being are thankfulness and appreciation : "In all things give thanks." It is music to the ear to hear someone express thankfulness. A chief characteristic of Being is forgiveness — the instantaneous release of whatever would bind you to another person's hurtful expression and behavior, or bind them to you. If something is upsetting you, give thanks and then let it go! Such expression clears your substance of any and all distortion so that the unfettered expression of the perfection of spirit can come on through. For that expression to be accurate, there needs to be plenty of this connecting substance of pneumaplasm present between spirit and form. Musical sound, such as chanting and toning, is very generative of this substance. With enough of this silvery substance in place, spirit has a means of healing the body and thereby revealing the perfection of Being in and through the Human form, creating in the flow a whole human being. In summary, then, healing is not our first concern. That is the domain of spirit. Our first concern is the generation of substance through which spirit may move, and even that is done by spirit. We may simply facilitate the process. Music, sacred sound, is a tool to facilitate that movement of spirit, especially when the person receiving the attunement is invited to participate. It isn't, therefore, the sound that offers healing to the body, but the spirit moving upon the surface of the sound waves. Spirit brings the information and instruction the cells need to carry out their various roles in the body. That information is held sacred and intact in the ray of light emanating from the core of Being. Pneumaplasm is the medium for the transference of those messages and instructions. A person who aspires to share attunement with love is rightly concerned to live a life that manifests and reveals the light of spirit. Such a person may be described as an emissary of light divine, bringing the beautiful and joyful Tone of love into one's world for all to resonate with and attune to in their living. "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands," sings the psalmist. When the dynamics of light and sound are allowed to work in harmony with one another, the "noise" they make is a joyful and uplifting one. (Excerpted and adapted from Sacred Sound and Attunement Manual by Tony Palombo.)

Right Use of Power class, February 15 -17, 2008
It seemed ambitious to have both the 4-hour beginner training and the 6-hour more advanced trainings on the same weekend, but facilitator Joyce Ellenbecker of Glen Ivy in California made it light, practical and deeply nourishing. Rather than a list of “Thou shalt not” rules, we looked at the many roles in our lives, being more conscious of how any role might be perceived, “tracking” impact as sometimes different from intent, and self-care. The time was rich in laughter and deep insights. When done, we found we had built a closer attunement community in the process. Barb Duff
“Module I – Attunement with Life” February 12-17, 2008
On the seventeenth of February, we concluded the Module I “Attunement with Life” class in Spanish at Glen Ivy. We had a wonderful, blissful week with six participants from Ensenada and Tijuana, aged 19-28. These refreshing young people brought to the class their authenticity, openness, courage, playfulness and eagerness to explore and heal some of the barriers to walking the path of Attunement. We love facilitating these classes and providing space where spiritual transformation can be realized. We could call these classes “transformation through identification with True Source”. For this to happen, it is necessary to allow our minds and ways of thinking to be renewed by the Spirit of God. The love and blessings that we share in Attunement allow us and everyone involved to come to the place of acceptance and of welcoming what is present, and something shifts within ourselves. We are made new. In all our classes we use, among other materials, silent meditation, the 7 Steps to the Temple of Light and the practice of Sanctification and Forgiveness. Over and over again we are amazed at how these simple but powerful tools bring deep insights and healing not only for the individual, but also for the group and consequently for the world. Araceli, one of the participants shared how she was practicing the third step to the Temple of Light - Realization: “Every morning when I wake up and I see that I have a new day before me, that I am alive, that I am complete with all my faculties and I express gratitude for every little detail that is present in my life, that is when I feel truly realized as a divine being.” Norma referred to the Spirit of Love in this way: “The spirit of Love can be found everywhere. The Universe is filled with love and it is a wonder. Love does not have temperature or color and we find it in its maximum expression even in the most frigid and far away places…this love is within me and is within you.” Astar said: “I learnt that I have all the potential within me to be the one I was created to be, I just need to polish it.” Suzzette said: “I realized here that within me I have the strength to accomplish what is mine to do and that I am very intelligent, that I am worthy of the love of God and others and that I am destined to be successful.”
These friends, this new generation of young people is awake, and we are so proud and so confident in this kind of leader: people eager to walk the path of love no matter what is around and no matter how the world looks, because they see possibilities and they are ready to set a tone in their own lives and to let their radiant lights shine in their worlds. It was a great joy to share the love and the way of attunement with these young brothers and sisters. We are very grateful to all of you for your support. It is a pleasure to be about the business of the One we all love and honor. See more pictures in the photogallery. Blessings and peace to you! Maria & Leandro

Judie: I was inspired on a recent Attunement Teleconference to create an event at the Parham Attunement Retreat near Kingston, Ontario, Canada – about halfway between Montreal and Toronto. This would be, I thought, an opportunity to welcome new friends and introduce them to the wonders of Attunement. What actually happened was this: Three current students of attunement and one new friend (new to me but not to Attunement) found their way to the door. Individually and collectively we experienced a deep communion and an expanded awareness of the ranges we touch into through attunement. The following comments convey some of the flavours we savoured on August 4th at our Day of Attunement. Mavis: To me the whole day was a prayer, a radiation and response to the powerful love I felt. Every attunement, meditation (particularly while outside amongst all the blessings of nature), every conversation and every morsel we ate at our wonderful potluck lunch was a blessing. To top it all off I learned more about the power of attunement. Thanks for putting together such a wonderful day and thanks so much to my fellow workshoppers in attunement.
As with the Attunement Guild Gathering I attended in California this year, I find that meeting and getting to know various members of our Attunement community enables me to hear, see, and feel the presence of each member when I read their words in the Newsletter or on the website. It enriches my experience of them even when they are physically far away from me. The articles are like portals back to my experience of them.
RIGHT USE OF POWER WORKSHOP: Two day immersion in the dynamics of power. Learn about the neurology of empathy and the sociology of the Power Paradox. Evolve your personal and professional relationship with power. Learn four dimensions of power and four power styles. Explore the impact of the power differential on yourself and those you serve. Increase your skill in resolving difficulties and asking for and using feedback.
I am still realizing much from the Guild gathering. I learned so much about myself, and how I am changing as a result of many things. However, I know a huge piece is a willingness to step into my own power. I found the teachers’ sessions to be so valuable and have since recalled certain moments to actually use in critical times. One of the essential realizations is how important it is, and how difficult, to acknowledge the impact on others of our unintentional unskilled behaviours. Another is to refrain from trying to convince the other that the act or word was unintentional, rather to see and hear him or her and to be present for what that impact meant to them. This piece was very valuable in a situation in my own life, not with attunement specifically, but it is all attunement anyway - at least from our place of living in attunement. I suspect more will arise as I continue to integrate and evolve along with my brothers and sisters in spirit.

Linda Wlasenko, from Montreal with Love!
I am helping out with the Big Hug of Jerusalem this year and would like to invite you to participate. (options are, to stand in the circle with us in Jerusalem; send a donation; bless us from a distance, tell others.....)
Fifty-five eager participants met at the Glen Ivy Center in Corona California on April 24-27, 2008 for our annual Attunement Guild Gathering. We entered the designated room the first evening, to find chairs set in a large oval and a large standing globe visible on the stage and lighted from within.
We are always between two generations, one that teaches us and one that learns from us. This is a dynamic that is always in flux. In our Attunement classes, we bring forward the spirit and words of the Attunement mentors who shared with us the sacred art of what they loved and lived by. Some of these mentors are: Roger De Winton, Jim Wellemeyer, Chris Jorgensen and Paul Price. We have always held in our hearts the longing that one day, at least some of them would have the opportunity to meet and spend time with the Spanish-speaking attunement practitioners from our classes.
Leandro spoke about true resurrection and how this happens every moment we that choose love, peace and forgiveness. We shared a mandala-attunement with the city of Ensenada, represented by the Lucero family –Godofredo, Esther, Andres, Brenda and Norma.
(NB. For the purposes of interpreting this story, my definition of a holy-day is letting go of as much of my usual day to day responsibilities as possible in order to focus on attuning and communing with essences of the One Great Spirit)
My angel of a wife’s few words to me about my “driving atmosphere” were most effective – Rosie simply re - minded me that the first step to the Temple of Light was PATIENCE. In short, it was from the point of accepting her reminder that my realizations grew - about how small I’d kept some of my holiday intent; how literal my idea of R & R had become, how my behavior and my actions were really damning the fact that we were already on holidays; I was out of the trees, the stars were on show and had been for some time; the seaside form of it would be there in good time; no one else was to blame for it not happening quickly enough; and of course, good to notice what an unholy-day atmosphere I’d been immersing my wife and myself in, let alone others - yeeeooowch - what creative consequences can come from that!?
Musical sound is being used extensively and increasingly in the healing arts. It may be used effectively with attunement. Our use of sound in attunement is not so much to heal our physical ills as it is to generate the rarified spiritual substance (pneumaplasm) that connects spirit and form, so that spirit has a means of entering and managing the world of physical form. This is the medium for the propagation of the Tone through which love comes forth out of heaven to touch the earth of our flesh — or, perhaps more accurately, how flesh rises to touch heaven, spiritualized by the movement of the Spirit of Love through it. When flesh is touched by love, it is made whole, transformed, and uplifted. 
One of the requirements for attunement training is Right Use of Power training, a type of ethics that has been developed by Cedar Barstow specifically for the healing professions. So thirteen attunement students plus seven who are teachers or practitioners gathered at Edenvale Feb. 15th to 17th. 
Loving greetings to all of you on this beautiful rainy day here in Glen Ivy!
We also consider very important in our classes to talk about emotions and feelings that come up in all of us, and how we can encompass them in the current of Attunement where everything is welcomed. In this particular class we introduced for the first time the 5 rhythms associated with the feelings of grief, anger, sadness, joy and compassion. Besides having a lot of fun allowing the beautiful energy of our bodies to express in the dancing of them, the participants were able to experience a creative way to release the charge of some of these emotions and allow for the natural joy and compassion that are our true essence to more vibrantly emerge.
