Previous event Masks of DeathTestimonialsDear Friends, A huge thank you to all of the volunteers who were at the benefit today, helping to create another magnificently successful event. Wasn't this performance amazing, inspiring, cathartic, moving, uplifting, healing, expansive, humbling and just the thing to enliven us all??? WOW Bonney!!! If we had been wearing socks, they would have been blown across the ocean. We blew our noses instead and it was good grief and good laughter. Thank you, thank you, thank you." Jerrigrace Lyons "What an exquisite offering!! There are shivers still running thru' me every time I think of it. Gratitude overflows... I am so delighted that the financial cup overflows as well." Blessings, Judith "This dance was an offering of complete love and surrender. I am in awe of Leona's words and creativity and Bonney's magnificent talent and her ability to be as raw as Leona intended. What a spectacular event and showing of community support. As I was taking money at the door the faces that showed up were excited and so happy to be there to support the work of Final Passages. Blessed Be!! This is an affirmation that this work is one of the things that can heal our culture and save our planet. I am in complete gratitude." xo Karen "Bonney, thank you for the sweet words. I was so moved by the whole event. I have done nothing but talk about it and think about it over and over. You are the High Priestess doing the work of the Goddess, no doubt in my mind. I know you were channeling something big and as you glided and moved on the stage... the ancestors were there witnessing everything, just so fantastic! Leona is such a being! Wow. She has such presence and passion, I want to be like her when I grow up!" Blessings and love, xoxo Karen "Yes, the rawness of the emotional devastation, the walking prayer for help day in and day out... Placed me in the brittle exquisite truth of this humanness I bear By comparison, all common conversation that followed since Saturday leaves me hungry for greater courage, a commitment to that which is true to the bones of this mystery we share -- being born to die. Thank you all who brought this to fruition. The performance took me beyond my hesitancy -- my opinions about the limitations of dance reduced to a small mound of ashes as I returned to the brightness of a seemingly ordinary summer’s day." Blessings. Joanna "That was utterly amazing and well worth the long journey to Sebastopol! I'm grateful for Leona's powerful performance piece and Bonney graced it so well with her being/body. Glad too to see Leona there and hear her & others speak from the heart. My favorite part was watching her move her emotions now – somehow so present and vital. Her movement moved me." Love, Stephanie "Wow. Thank you Leona, Bonnie and Jerrigrace! What a cathartic glorious work of holy art. I feel so held and embraced, even now, by the blessing of the mask dance, and the courage displayed by Leona and Bonnie who spilled their guts for the benefit of all and their sheer willingness to be present from the deepest place inside the heart of oneness. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you/us who helped make the event possible." Blessings, Melissa All of the comments reverberated thru my being and rekindled the moments shared. I felt too the spontaneous connection of all in the room as we traversed the sacred journey with you and within our souls, united in those moments. You embodied the High Priestess presence as you drew us each magically along each phase of the journey. How powerful! It was a visceral example of what raw and true power is. That is the power of the soul and of love. That is the power that truly transforms. "We are sisters (and brothers) on a journey...Thank you manifold!" Love with all my heart, Judith "Dear Jerrigrace and Final Passages Friends, I often feel like an out-of-work temple priestess and Saturday was my joy and bliss to be a priestess.....in a temple......feeling the electricity and the passion of each mask/archtype and the depth of Leona's story moving through my body. This IS my work on the planet! I"m in deep appreciation for all of you willing to give Leona and I the opportunity to share what we consider important and sacred work with others, which so beautifully dovetails with the work of Final Passages. Tears ran down my cheeks as I read your heart-felt emails about the offering. We were both moved by all the radiant people who made the journey with us through the Masks of Death. It was wonderful working with all of you. It was a group effort where things flowed smoothly, everyone doing their part, bringing talent, enthusiasm, creativity and compassion to the whole event. (which doesn't always happen in some groups). YOU are all awesome and I so look forward to many events and much success in the future!!!" Heart Overflowing, Bonney "Congrats on all the well-deserved feedback, Bonney! It was a beautiful, inspiring, heartfelt, generous and truthful performance, all of which was obviously felt and appreciated by everyone there." Hugshugshugs, Jan and Loren "In our strangely death-phoebic yet death-generating culture, this regenerative work is needed now more than ever. Thank you for sharing your artistry with us." Most sincerely, Joan |
