Sounds Like Peace (2025)

16/12/2022

As neither Liz nor I can work out how to change the settings so that she can post on here herself, I'm copying here what Liz Baker was kind enough to say about last night's meeting. This is the post shared with her Oneness Community ........

"Last night, I joined in the final Transforming Conflict zoom session of 2022. Alexis Zane held space for participants to focus on how we can transform conflict on both the personal and global level.

It was a very nurturing, gentle and supportive session. We sat in silence in Sacred Space; we listened to healing music with profound messages in the poetic lyrics and we chatted as friends to share reflections on our times of mistakes and wisdoms - all with a sprinkle of gracious humour! It was a very heart warming session.

The Unicorn Energy made it’s self available to us. The Unicorns always represent Alignment with Source and Pure Innocence/Inner Sense for me. The Unicorns mentioned to us that they do not hold any “stories” within themselves whereas humans hold onto our stories as if they are our true identity rather than letting go of our stories in order to reveal our DIVINE SELF that is infinite; unchanging and pure Original Divine Self. The Unicorns reminded us that our Divine Self is very simple in many ways - not entangled in ancestral, generational, cultural Karmic patterns. By remembering our Original Divine Self, we can find our TRUE IDENTITY which holds no stories and no history of entanglements.

THE DIVINE SELF IS ULTIMATELY FREE AND IDENTIFIES ITSELF AS THE UNIVERSE.

Thank you to Alexis for holding space for us all to Transform Conflict - to let go of the habit of digging ourselves deeper into troubled stories due to the human habit of identifying ourselves as “struggling diggers” rather than ”Cosmic Creators”. 💖

The next Transforming Conflict group zoom meeting will be at 7pm (UK time) on Thursday 15th December.
In homage to John Lennon and Paul McCartney - and the creative era and energy of the '60's - we'll get on board our (de-nuked) Yellow Submarine and take a Magical Mystery Tour into the waters of our emotional landscape.
Space on board is limited, so do book in with me in advance to receive your zoom link (and do remind me if you think I've forgotten to send it to you).
Be sure to arrive in good time for sailing - once the voyage is underway we won't be taking on any latecomers.
This will be the last group meeting in 2022.

The next 'Transforming Conflict' group Zoom meeting will take place on Sunday 27th November and will start at 4pm (UK time).
I prefer smaller intimate groups where right relationship can be held, so I will not be making the zoom link public.
Message me to reserve your place.
When you have a reserved place, do please let me know if circumstances change and you are unable to take part.

Can you hear the hum?? We’re back making and spreading the honey…..!!!

Sounds Like Peace has being going through its own transformational process. As with all the best creative processes - In the beginning, there was sound …….. now, the transformational qualities of silence.

After a group of us came together last night with the focussed intention of “Transforming Conflict” what has emerged is a remembrance which has resulted in a resurrected form for 'Sounds Like Peace'. It has become an umbrella in the current Storms, to hold a sanctuary space for the sharing of Oneness, Peace and Grace; and, to offer creative and innovative solutions to felt dis-ease.

By participating in the new format Sounds Like Peace group meetings, we nurture ourselves ... our connections to one another … and our individual and group connections to Gaia, Source, Spirit, God, the Universe (however you understand or relate to the masculine and feminine archetypal forces of creation) and their emissaries and ambassadors.

Investing our attention and energy as members of a group in this way of appreciation and honouring, it is our intention to manifest a shared vision for a healthy, harmonious, flourishing, and abundant World. Doubtless there will be some debris to be cleared and transmuted along the way. May this be done with ease and grace.

Engaging in this group, may each of us remember to do, and speak, unto others as we would have them do and speak to us.
May we remember to be caring and to look for and to be open to seeing and appreciating the beauty that surrounds us; and, hold gratitude and love in our hearts.

Meetings will be held on Zoom twice a month. One will be on a weekday evening; and, the other on a weekend afternoon (most likely a Sunday). In this way people can choose which one works best for them or do both if they wish. (Be sure to set your FB notifications for this page to 'Follow All Posts' to stay advised of the dates and times of upcoming meetings)

Though a full meeting will likely last a couple of hours, it is possible to participate in a shortened version as explained below. Whilst the form of the meetings is loose and flexible in response to the moment, because people ask me what to expect, here’s a brief summary and explanation of how they will likely pan out …...
For the first 10 to 15 minutes there will be a general chat, introductions and discussion - it’s a time for settling in and mingling, if you will.
After this, I will say a Prayer to the Directions and invoke and establish sacred space. This will be followed by a period of silent communion (eyes open, or closed in meditation, according to individual preference) lasting several (say 5 -10) minutes.
There will be an invitation (for those who wish to) to share what they have experienced during this First Silence.
Following and in response to this, I will call through an energetic transmission to be shared by the drinking of a water blessing. This will in turn be followed by a second period of silent communion likely to last several minutes.
There will be a further opportunity (though no obligation) for people to share what they have experienced during this Second Silence.
Having created this safe and sacred space, the group will address its attention to any conflicted situation that anyone in the group feels called to bring to the group’s attention - be it of a personal nature or something happening in the World at large. Implicit in the group field will be the intention and prayer for appropriate support, movements or ways through to emerge as a result of the loving care and attention of the group and the wisdom streams that attend within the sacred space.
At the end, the Sacred Space will be closed and farewells said.

Whilst I’ve outlined my own role in these meetings, I would emphasise that the meetings are not about me or any other individual member. I simply give my commitment and organising skills to them. We all have gifts to share - mine are the holding of space, access to a substantial archive, the wisdom of my crone years, and my ease and facility with time. Others in the group bring and share their own talents, and the wisdom born of their years of devotion to the pathless path. The intention is for everyone to share and add to the wisdom and energy of the group as they are able and feel called.

Everyone is encouraged to be on time for the start of the meeting. It will not be possible to join the meeting once I have started the Prayer to the Directions.
If you are unable or choose not to take part in the whole meeting, it is OK to sign out either immediately after the conclusion of the sharing after the First Silence - or, at any time after the conclusion of the Second Silence.
Do remember to have your glass and drinking water with you, and any crystal or other companions that you feel called to bring to the Space.

Details of future meetings will be posted on the Sounds Like Peace FB page as and when ...... Bless you and thank you. I look forward to sharing sacred space with you.

In case anyone is checking in over here, I thought I’d post some images for tonight’s gonging which will be starting soon. It feels very auspicious that there are 22 of us in the circle 🥰

20/12/2021

I spent some time this morning writing a piece about last night’s gonging. I posted it and waited for the post to appear …. And I waited ….. and I waited …… I’ve now decided that Facebook has lost my post (not for the first time), so I shall try again and hope that I remember everything that I had wanted to say. My apologies if any of you have been wondering about the silence on my part.
The attached picture is almost a representation of last night’s mandala. The name cards were then face up. I had the idea that, to respect people’s privacy, I needed to turn them over before taking the photograph.
My sense all along was that this was to be a simple mandala. My crystal harp in the centre represented the purity of its crystal sound frequencies.
I knew that the mandala was to contain shells. As I placed them in the circle, I realised that although all of the shells were very different, they each at their core had a golden mean spiral. For me this mirrored those taking part - each very different expressions with the same core energy.
I had at first forgotten that Pietr (my large smokey quartz skull which is full of rainbows) had made known to me early last week that it wanted be in the mandala. Fortunately, whilst I was preparing the mandala, Andrew was watching something about Tibetan skulls and this served as an amusing and timely reminder. Once Pietr was in place, I realised that two other crystal skulls - Cheeky Chappie and Chuckles - weren’t to be left out either.
When I was organising the name cards for the people taking part, some golden cards with a holographic honeycomb design caught my eye. They were cards which I had made some time ago, possibly for one of my Stargate groups - long enough ago that I no longer remembered what they were. When I looked, I saw that they bore the names of angels - angels whose names I didn’t recognise - an unlikely choice for me. Anyhow, I discovered that 6 of them wanted to be in the circle too. These are their names - Melahel, Mebahiah, Veuliah, Menadel, Yeiaiel, and Pahaliah. Perhaps someone more used to working with angelic energy who is familiar with these energies might care to offer a description of their qualities.
The green glass dragon snuck into the mandala at the last minute.
I don’t have that much to say about my experience of the gonging itself - save for what happened at around 7:40pm. I had paused my playing of my large gongs - on this occasion I was playing my Water gong together with my Jupiter (aka Zeus), Pluto and Mercury planetary gongs - and had gone over to the mandala to gong over it with my favourite gong - a very old, small, hand gong that came from Tibet. After doing that, I found myself dancing and gonging in the centre of the room doing what I was told was a banishing dance (as if I knew what that was!). This lasted several minutes. (On these occasions I'm very glad that nobody is watching me.)
This morning, when I went back into the room, I was very aware of the two Octa (8 skin) sheepskin rugs in there. They felt very active and brought to mind the piece I posted on my personal page some days ago about the Lion and the Lamb.
Since the gonging, a number of people have sent me private messages about their experiences. I do hope that some of them and others will share something on here. I find that sharing builds community, reveals common themes, prompts memories and encourages and invites others to feel the energy of what was experienced.
PS. Andrew, who doesn’t use a computer, has asked me to share that he was given a stream of different mental images that he is unable now to recall, but that the experience has left him with a feeling of a new sense of determination.....
