Hawaiian Wedding

After leaving Colorado, I came to join Paul on the big island of Hawaii at a community called Pangaia.

There is a lot of what we have searched for here at Pangaia. It is a great opportunity to delve into honing our health of body, mind, spirit and ecology. Paul and I have agreed to stay on to help facilitate  achieving the highest possible energy and health of the land and the people who live or visit Pangaia for the next six months.

Pangaia uses rain water catchment and gravity for all water sources. Solar electricity is the primary source or power with a generator back up. There are acres and acres of fruit trees which provide abundance to share with the neighboring communities. We are a grounded group who eat organic and raw, and are free of chemical addictions. Creating music together happens at least weekly. There is much to be done each day to care for the dwellings, shared spaces, trees, and people. We have a beautiful opportunity to grow and facilitate growth in our selves and others while we are here.

Pangaia has helped Paul and I to deepen into our vision of a healthy and natural lifestyle. We are keen to continue our journey together.

On October 24th, Paul Blake and Joanna Castro were married.

Paul and I wrote our own vows and designed the ceremony. Following are the words we spoke to each other.

Words spoken by the Priestest; We gather in nature surrounded by wilderness, beauty and in the presence of all the animal spirits upon the earth to unite Joanna and Paul in legal matrimony. We invite the loving presence of each person to witness and to add love to the great union and ceremony.

Words we spoke in unison, Paul and I freely and lovingly aspire

to Speak from our hearts and a place of love

to Honor the sacred space between us

to Inspire and entice each other to grow and evolve

to Create a natural and sustaining life and to walk lightly and lovingly upon the earth

to Create abundance and richness to enjoy and share with all around us.

Benediction;

May you dance gracefully and powerfully with all the elements of life.

May your journey take you into the depths and richness of yourselves, each other, and the world around you.

Go now confidently, freely and lovingly as a united couple to shine upon the earth.

Benediction from Priestess

Now Paul and Joanna,

I extend my personal blessings as you enter into the days of your togetherness. Now you are two persons but there is only one life before you. May beauty surround you in the journey and all through the years may happiness be your companion and your days together be good and long upon the earth.
