NEWSLETTER
Vol. 1, Issue 8 - 23 December 2022
Dear friend,
 
Our last but one newsletter for 2022 brings blessing and best wishes for the recent Winter Solstice on Wednesday 21 December. Having now passed the shortest day of the year, the beginning of Winter means the return of more sunlight each and every day - things only get brighter from here!
 
I have been thinking about my ‘theme’ word for the coming year, and having chosen ‘discernment’ for 2022, I decided on ‘transformation’ for 2023. We now have the opportunity to build on everything we have learned and achieved through this challenging year. 
 
With this in mind, we are arranging monthly Zooms for facilitators and advisors following our first meetings earlier this month which was a great success. Meetings will be promoted on our Events page in due course.
 
CABI members, Richard Rowe and Nick Kitchen, are working together to help bring more people into the fold in the coming year. Other members are helping with this with some coming on board to assists with specific tasks and projects. More news on this next time but suffice to say, our heartfelt thanks to everyone who is supporting CABI and playing their part.
 
Richard suggested ‘The Lawful Observer’ as a focus for next year. This makes me think of shifting our thoughts towards the fundamental principles of Natural Law and using this as a barometer to assess situations rationally, help each other conscientiously and make decisions for the highest good of all. 
 
One of the most important aspects of our Community Law is that ideally, issues are dealt with satisfactorily for all parties before things exculate. Being familiar with our inalienable rights provided by the Peace Keepers helps a great deal. It's the best way to get up to speed. The online course is free for everyone, doesn't take very long and is well worth the effort.
 
On to news from our members. We have received some profoundly wise, inspirational and transformational messages from members here and overseas which are featured below.
 
I am delighted to introduce a new ‘Community News’ section, starting with a beautifully organised mini-taster healing event in Salisbury on Sunday 5 February. It's only £12 to spend the day exploring a wide range of natural healing approaches and discovering what might be most beneficial for you! You can find out more and book your tickets online via our Events page.
 
We also have news about a new Community ‘Garden of Eden’ being created in the land of the Chalk Horses (see below). This is a fabulous example of how local people are making a difference and our thanks to Becky Smith, Founding Facilitator of the Community Assembly of Salisbury who is also helping the Community Assembly of Wiltshire as Special Advisor, for sharing these updates with us.
 
That's all from me and I hope you enjoy our featured content from members here and overseas. As always, if you have any questions or suggestions, please get in touch.
 
I look forward to catching up again soon.

Garden of Eden in the land of the Chalk Horses
We have a growing group who have managed to secure part of a polytunnel and some outdoor beds at a community garden run by St Michael's Church in Salisbury. We have planted raspberries, broad beans, red onions, spring onions, winter lettuce, pak choi and radishes and have been making repairs to the polytunnel that were needed. We have been sorting through and improving the composting system and are looking at planting more bee-friendly plants to surround the outdoor beds with the addition of a sensory garden too. There was quite a lot of work to sort areas out for planting but through combined efforts, have made good progress.

A heartfelt message from my SoulSister, Aniiyah
 
‘The thinking that we are islands no longer works. The idea that we can go it alone, or stuff our feelings so we don’t disturb the water around the island no longer works. The new paradigm must be setup around community.  Around helping each other.’
 
Gayla Olson, Founding Facilitator, Assemblies of the World

A message of light for 2023
 
It’s a fact that: 'There is no darkness that light cannot penetrate the love humanity has for each other, indeed all life, is the greatest power on Earth.'
 
Together as one, we are unbeatable … unstoppable … thank you all who stand together to make this happen. Let us make 2023 our year to stand together and bring peace and harmony back to our world! 
 
Sandy Ingham, Medium, Psychic Artist and good friend. 
 

A message of thanks for 2022
 
 It does feel like an unveiling going on. I certainly do feel something 
beyond words with CABI which got picked up in our conversation, 
and it's a credit to you all as founders that you established a beautiful energetic imprint by way of foundation.

Unity in motion is unity in consciousness,
We are one for everyone and everything,
Freedom, justice, equality for all not just the few,
We must have a voice of reason without bloodshed and blame,
No more wars - Earth is our home.
It is not owned by anyone, corporations or governments.
 
Jean Watson, Founding Facilitator, Community Assembly of Bedfordshire
