ATOP Meaningfulworld Pamper Yourself Holiday Festival and Party 2013

Isha Emley & Blerina Marku

 

The “Pamper Yourself” holiday party with ATOP/Meaningful World was a festive and uplifting night of celebration. As a soft blanket of snow settled over the city, a stream of vibrant people began to file in. Each decorated room was alive with spirited conversation and the contagion of holiday cheer. Generosity abounded in the healers who came to offer reiki, flower essence consultations, angel card readings, and a clay table for playful creations.

Each “Pamper Yourself” partygoer had the opportunity to visit each healer to receive individualized healing. Reiki healing was provided by Vanessa Spencer. Her relaxing touch was deeply mending. Each recipient emerged from her room realigned and replenished. In addition to the gift of Sandra Delcioppio’s soothing presence, she brought flower essences. Through muscle testing, she exacted which flower remedies would be helpful for alleviating blocks and empowering the potential in each individual. Blanka Angyal offered Angel Card readings.

It was a moment to steal away from the mundane and touch the angelic support ever present beyond our sight. Lorraine Simmons encouraged playfulness by setting up a table of clay. We gathered with her joyful assistance, smooching, twisting, and cutting clay to make candle holders. Bursts of laughter emerged as the first set emerged from the oven burnt to a crisp!

The night crested with a comedic gift exchange that united everyone in laughter.

We viewed footage from the recent ATOP/Meaningful World mission to Africa, and felt energized and committed to continue making a difference. We then gathered in for the Heart-to-Heart Circle of Gratitude which gently closed the evening. stood together sharing our thankfulness and hopes for the year to come. Empowered by the grace of the season we look forward with courageous hearts and determined minds for the sacred work that lay ahead.

Thank you to all who attended! Special thanks to the healers who gave so fully of themselves. And an extra special thanks to Dr. Kalayjian, who has made all of this possible.

Good intentions are no longer enough. I wanted to support humanity in my own way. Meaningful World was a natural way for me to help the victims of tsunami.

So many systems have failed us and as we transition from failed models, attitudes and behaviors that are polarizing, destructive and failing all around us I could not just sit back, be overwhelmed and do nothing… I am doing something with Meaningful World.

Meaningful World cultivates well-being, relatedness, a deep awareness and understanding how to elevate some of the world's suffering. Our choices impact all living systems and I choose to be an agent of good.
