The evening proved to be relaxing and intimate, the Spiritual Warriors screening (tirelessly shown by film technician Phil Danza) had excellent screen and sound quality. Even though we'd viewed the movie at home, it was lovely to experience it again with such a wonderful group of people. I'm thrilled that the MSIA travelers for John-Roger's 75th birthday got to see a slice of Scotland during one of the most visually stunning seasons of the year and I hope the hospitality you all experienced was warm and inviting in return. Light and Love, Jenny Rose Our time in Scotland was magical for many reasons. And the way our Spiritual Warriors screening originated, was created, and how it left its mark, are among the most special and magical experiences for me. Both Jsu and I have been in touch with a few spiritual ‘movers-and-shakers’ in Scotland for some time – via Twitter and Facebook - including Mike Berry (Founder of the Yes Group in Scotland) and Claudia van Zuiden (International Speaker, Yoga Teacher and Founder of Wo’Moon Circle of One). So starting with Mike and Claudia’s connections we began searching for an organization to sponsor and host a screening in Scotland. Our journey lead us to connect with many beautiful souls and organizations, and we finally settled with the Salisbury Centre in Edinburgh – a mini ‘Prana’ of sorts – with residents living and working at this Holistic Spiritual Centre that offers Yoga, Workshops and a variety of events to their communities.
But the most touching part of this story for me begins with a phone call I received the morning AFTER the screening – a gentleman inquiring whether we were going to have any more screenings – as he’d only just opened his email inbox and found our movie invite from a friend. I let him know that the only screening we had planned was last night, but that he was welcomed to come and visit me and buy a DVD if he was able to. Having spent the morning already reading all he could on my Facebook sites and then Jsu’s sites, and then all about J-R and the many organizations he’s founded – all his incredible work – he was willing to do whatever he needed to get his hands on this movie … Well meeting him later that morning was one of those experiences that don’t translate into words … and my best attempt to describe our exchange is that excitement, that vibration when you meet someone in order for the Spirit to connect with the other – is one of the most beautiful and electric experiences I know. Having read all he could about John-Roger, and already sensing and knowing that he had been searching for him for sometime, when I met this man I immediately sensed the very special and profound connection we were making. So after chatting for an hour – he was then happy to wait around the hotel for a few hours before we all met for lunch with Jsu and a few other friends – Mike Berry included.
To my family of Spiritual Warriors, to all those who do this work – we are blessed – I am blessed. And there is no appreciation, no recognition needed when the awareness of doing the work is present.
