Greg Chambers

In Celebration of the Equinox, we welcome you to an evening of intentional ceremony at the Pyramids:  

  • Receive a blessing with temple incense
  • Let go of what no longer serves you, in a fire ritual
  • Tune into your heartfelt intentions to create balance in your life
  • Taste of & journey with the sacred Blue Lotus flower, served as a ceremonial tea
  • Harmonize your energy field through activating the healing vibrations in your voice
  • Deeply relax, dream and surrender in a cosmic Sound Healing journey.

Equinox
An Equinox is one of two days in the year when the Sun crosses the celestial equator, meaning that both halves of the Earth are receiving the Sun’s rays equally, and so day and night, light and dark, are of equal length. It signifies a time of Balance and Equilibrium and as such has been revered to and celebrated in many traditions around the Globe. 

Depending on what Hemisphere you’re in, and the time of year, the Equinox marks the entrance into either Spring or Autumn. In Bali, the March Equinox marks the entrance into Autumn. 

The Equinox is a powerful time to tap into the wisdom of the Earth, the light of the Sun, our profound connection with Source, and the entire Cosmos. This Equinox also marks the start of Aries season, and the beginning of a new zodiac year. It is a potent time to clear stagnated energy, clarify our vision, spark our creative fire (Aries) and make up Balance in our lives. We warmly welcome you at the Pyramids to activate, anchor & illuminate this cosmic potential.

Blue Lotus (Nymphaea Caerulea):
Native to Ancient Egypt, the Blue Lotus Flower was considered Sacred and to represent spiritual rebirth and life force energy. This majestic Flower was used in Temple Ceremonies for blessing, anointing, healing and meditation. 

Served as a ceremonial Tea, (a slightly sweet & golden liquid that reminds one of melted amber) the Blue Lotus flower warms your body with a light euphoric glow and allows you to access deeper parts of your subconscious. A gentle Dream Herb and Aphrodisiac, the Blue Lotus Flower has Balancing Healing properties, particularly in the areas of circulation, immune system & reproductive organs. It nourishes, restores & rejuvenates our Chi (vital flowing energy), soothes the nervous system, and opens the pathways to inner vision.

Date & Time: March 19, 5 - 7 pm
Cost
: IDR300,000 (was IDR400,000)

About your host:

Kevin’s life experiences have taken him from corporate financial environments to small business ownership and humanitarian missions from Cuba to Lourdes, France, and Africa. He is also an Author, Speaker, Guide and Spiritual Teacher. 

After 10 years spent in the financial world managing Fortune 500 companies, Kevin had his first awakening at the age of 40 after exploring yoga, meditation and acupuncture which opened him to his spiritual journey and learnings. This first experience was so life altering that he left his successful career and everything he owned to enter his path of inner truth. Which led him to Sedona, in Arizona, where he spent 21 years navigating small business ownership to the mystical synchronicities.

Following his intuition and his heart along with spiritual teachers Grandfather Morning Owl and Swami Buddha Nanda, his path trans-versed from near death experiences to indigenous ceremonies and the development of soulful journey.

Wanting to add another dimension to his knowledge, Kevin decided to follow a master’s degree in Trans-personal psychology with an emphasis in spirituality which allowed him to combine both mystical and practical methodologies.

Immersed in healing and sound therapies for so long his need to share and being in service brought him in alignment with his life calling to Bali where he conducts sound healing, ceremonies, and therapy sessions to assist and guide others in the process of awakening to their inner knowing and purpose.

Some of the tools used during his workshops include Relationship counselling, beginning Meditation, intention setting, grief therapy, kinesiology, neuro-emotional release work, inner-child work, letter writing and sound healing etc.

Selamat Hari Raya Galungan

Greg Chambers

Getting to know Galungan Day, the traditional day for Hindu’s to commemorate victory!

People of Hindu in various regions in Indonesia are celebrating Hari Raya Galungan. This celebration is synonymous with Hindus who pray and worship their ancestors in refutation, merajan.

Galungan Day is commemorated as the day of the victory of Dharma (goodness) against Adharma (evil). Galungan is celebrated by Hindus every 6 months or 210 days, using the Balinese calendar calculations, namely on Buddhist Kliwon Dungulan Day (Wednesday Kliwon Wuku Dungulan ) as the Day of Victory of Dharma (truth) against Adharma (evil).

Galungan Day is a moment to commemorate the creation of the universe. As a thanksgiving, Hindus give and make offerings to Sang Hyang Widhi and Dewa Bhatara.

Galungan itself comes from Old Javanese which means 'win'. In addition, the word Galungan has a similar meaning to Dungulan which means to win. Galungan provides an understanding that good intentions and efforts will always win compared to bad intentions and efforts.

In celebrating this holy Galungan day, the Balinese Hindu community carries out various special and special activities. Galungan celebrations begin with prayers in their respective homes, then to larger family temples such as Penjajan Agung, Dadia , Mother Temple, Panti, Banjar Temple and to Kahyangan Tiga or Pelinggih - pelinggih at the place of business.

On this holy day, Balinese people who celebrate Galungan will wear traditional clothes dominated by white while carrying offerings on their heads. For Hindus who have family members with mapendem status or have died or commonly called the Balinese people with Makingsan in Pertiwi, then they have to bring benten to the cemetery.

The Galungan Day celebration is also accompanied by other religious ceremonies, starting from the Tumpek Wariga ( Pengatag ) Day which is held 25 days before the Galungan Day celebration. Then, Kliwon Wuku Wariga , where Hindus make offerings to Sang Hyang Sangkara , which is a manifestation of God as the god of Prosperity and Salvation for plants.

This celebration is a form of human love for plants. The characteristic of Tumpek Pengatag Day is by offering various colors of porridge ( bubuh ), such as white, yellow, red, and green porridge.

The next series of ceremonies is called Sugihan Jawa which is held six days before Galungan. Sugihan Jawa comes from the word sugi which means to purify , while Javanese or jaba means outside.

This religious ceremony is defined as purifying or cleansing everything that is in humans (bhuana agung), such as cleaning the merajan (holy places) and also the house as part of the Great Bhuana.

Then five days before Galungan the Sugihan Bali ceremony was held , which means cleansing the human being both body and soul. This is done so that in the celebration of Galungan will all clean scale and timeless , so that it can run properly.

Then, three days before Galungan Day, the Pahing wuku Dungulan or also known as Penyekeban Day is held . On that day, humans are expected to be able to restrain the senses (lust) and refrain from doing things that are contrary to religion.

Then, two days before Galungan there is a Penyajaan ceremony , where Hindus have to really stabilize themselves in carrying out the ceremony. Because they will begin to be seduced by Sang Bhuta Dungulan and must be able to stabilize themselves to take a few steps towards Galungan.

The day before Galungan Day, it is known as Penampahan Galungan. In this procession, Hindus slaughter pigs as a symbol of killing the animal passions that are in humans, and are used as religious ceremonial equipment.

The day before Galungan, Balinese people will also be busy making penjor, or decorative bamboo on the side of the road. Penjor itself is made of curved bamboo sticks decorated with various materials from agricultural products, such as leaves ( plawa ), seeds ( palawija ), tubers and palagantung, such as coconut, rice, and bananas.

Penjor as a symbol of prosperity and prosperity, is made with a beautiful appearance to support the implementation of the increasingly lively Galungan Day.

It is hoped that on this Galungan day, the mind can be pure and clean, and all negative influences can be lost.

So Long 2020, Hello 2021!

Greg Chambers

How was 2020 for you?

If you ask that question among a random group of people you may be surprised by the answer. For many it has been the toughest year of their lives. For others it has been an incredible year of growth with a clarity of what is important in life that they have not experienced before. One thing is for certain, it was a year for the ages…

From the bushfires in Australia and the West Coast of North America, the Black Lives Matter movement, convicting men of power for their sex crimes, Royalty declaring they are no longer Royalty, the stock market crashing while crypto currency reaches new heights, impeaching Presidents and electing new ones, the largest organised protests in recorded history in India, devastating explosions and of course the pandemic which we are all still navigating through.

Humanity is always victorious; love is the weapon.

If you are here in Bali please join us for Christmas at the Pyramids. All are welcome to our family atmosphere where we will enjoy a 3-course lunch and Ancient Sound Healing with full bellies and hearts.

We will sign off 2020 with a powerful evening combining the final Full Moon and Earth’s completion of the Sun’s orbit. The NYE Full Moon Intention Ceremony will be an evening of letting go of the old, welcoming the new, dancing, laughing, and sharing.

So, we say so-long to 2020 and thanks for the lessons. Welcome 2021, a new age, a new future full of abundance!

May the holiday season be full of joy and we look forward to welcoming you in 2021 for some exciting new events and developments.

From Peter & Lynn, Greg & Jill & the whole team!

Namaste.
