Monday May 31....Memorial Day
Wishing you a beautiful Memorial Day weekend. In honor of all the veterans as well as the active service members. Thank you for all you do.
Congratulations to Summerland’s newest full members:
Karen Link, Kristin Giannetto, and Louella Blaner! 
Last week we held our second Zoom Right Hand of Fellowship and are happy to have Terry join us as a full member. The presentation was offered by Su Garrison-Terry and Frank Kotowski.
We could not shake hands or offer long hugs, but we found other ways to express our love & appreciation! Congratulations Karen, Kristin, & Louella!
Tuesday May 25: E. Setauket Vigil to Honor 1-Year Anniversary of the Death of George Floyd
In response to an appeal to congregations of all faiths across Long Island to hold a vigil in his memory, the Three Village Interfaith Clergy Association held a short candlelight service of readings, prayer, and song, led by representatives of the different local faith groups. Rev. Frank Kotowski represented Summerland at the vigil and said it was a very moving ceremony.
Sunday May 23: Healing Event @ Bayard Cutting Arboretum
It was very hot last Sunday but we all experienced peacefulness and a wonderful day embedded in Nature and healing. Terry and Frank called in the four corners, guided by an Iroquois prayer. Debbie and Frank offered a powerful Oneness Healing and Blessing. We will be having another Healing Event in the fall.

INFORMATiON on the Full Moon & Eclipse
Photo by Ganapathy Kumar on Unsplash
Our first eclipse of 2021 is here, as well as being the first total lunar eclipse in two years. The Super Moon Lunar Eclipse, also known as the Goodwill Festival of Humanity, occurs May 26 at 7.14 am EST. This is both a Super Moon, when the moon is at its closest to Earth and looks larger than usual, as well as a Blood Moon (when the sun’s rays are blocked by Earth, casting a reddish glow on the moon).
The energy of the Super Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs in the fire sign of Sagittarius, in opposition to the Gemini Sun. Sagittarius rules over the higher mind and wisdom aspects of creation, and this Lunar Eclipse assists us to deepen into the wisdom and Divinity within, whilst propelling us into greater levels of truth, freedom and sovereignty. Through the arrow of the archer, we set our intentions and aim our arrow, with the trajectory of our passion and purpose being anchored in trust and surrender and higher mind wisdom. As our soul’s purpose and mission expands through this Super Moon Lunar Eclipse, the emotional clearing and purification needed to hold alignment to the Divine and the New Earth Templates escalates to release stress, disharmony, judgment, lesser than and better than consciousness and other misaligned energies. For the energy of the Lunar Eclipse allows the shadows to reveal hidden patterns, false beliefs and judgments. However, revealed through the Soul’s perspective, the Golden Sun within our Loving Hearts, we recognize that each unique experience we have had to know ourselves as Love is simply a role; one of many we have had in different timelines and different realities and that truly, ALL IS LOVE. As we consciously embrace our emotions, thoughts, and feelings through the witnessing Presence of our Beloved I Am, new neural pathways register within the brain with heart and mind coherence, and the Pathway of Divine Neutrality reveals through the stillness of the Loving Heart, as we step into the illumination of the mental body and the wisdom of the higher mind. From Lao-tzu and the 9th Verse from the Tao Te Ching, the final line in this verse says, Retire when the work is done: this is the way of heaven. This means we need to stop over thinking, create some space to simply be. Practice appreciation for the present moment. Be mindful during meals and all activities over the next few days while we are in the Full Moon phase. This will be especially true during the Mercury retrograde phase in Gemini. May 29—June 21.
