Solstice Global Healing
Annually since 2012 the Planetary Healing Artists’ Association of Australia Inc. (Healing Arts) has sponsored a free, cultural community event on the occasion of the Summer Solstice. Each year has a different theme to promote Healing in some way.
The Summer Solstice is when our planet Earth is closest to the sun and is the longest and brightest day of the year. Many cultures since ancient times, have thought this day to be auspicious.
The Healing Arts have presented many Indigenous, Spiritual and Faith Leaders from different inter-spiritual, inter-cultural, environmental, and local organizations. Guest include: Reverend Father Bob Macguire; a representative from the Mayor’s Office; the Sun Goddess who bestows special healing magic; Father Christmas; and many surprise guests and organisations that attend to inspire us.
Our theme this year is Soul Healing. This is to be our seventh Solstice Global Healing event, returning to welcome you to come and join us at this special time. Healing the Soul promotes healing for the individual, like a ripple in a pond, it goes out to the community, then globally.
Be involved in an Indigenous cleansing ceremony, hear great music, have fun and have food in the surrounding restaurants. Enjoy healing and participating for your health and well-being. Meet and network with people from different cultures and diverse backgrounds, while dancing and interacting with the music and connecting with us for World Peace.
In our world, in our times, we hope to heal and to create souls of loving kindness. When we are healed and linked all people, all races, all philosophies and all religions can work together to achieve world peace.
The Solstice event will conclude with the symbol of Releasing the Doves (homing doves) to promote unity for world peace. Together we make a difference.
The Healing Arts is a group of creatives, who seek to create a peaceful co-existence and co-operation for peace and harmony among all our fellow humanity together as brothers and sisters.
The Healing Artists promote a philosophy and culture for the healing and care-taking of all of life on our planet and all sentient beings.
We aim to accomplish these goals through our artistic and healing pursuits such as our Solstice Global Healing event. Together we are one.
