Come join us at Crystalbrook Retreat to celebrate World Peace Day this Sunday 7th March, 2010.

Starting at 10am, we will have a World Peace Day prayer and meditation ceremony for world peace led by a buddhist meditation teacher & a spiritual healer.

Bring your children, or come and bushwalk among the abundant wildlife and ancient land.

You can also finish your morning with a BBQ at the nearby Lake Proserpine.

Crystalbrook Retreat is located 25km west of Proserpine on Crystalbrook Road and is opposite Camp Kanga. You can bring your own prayer to share and these will be buried on Crystalbrook Retreat land.

If you’re not physically able to attend Crystalbrook Retreat, we would so love to have you participate in the ceremony from wherever you are in the world. Leave a comment in the blog and we will plant it in the land as well.

If you’d like any more information about the ceremony or about Crystalbrook Retreat land, please contact Marilyn Allan on 0429 055 164.

Wishing you a gorgeous day!

Leonie, Marilyn & the rest of the Crystalbrook Retreat clan!

We just came across this wonderful kit home company Modak Homes that makes gorgeous environmental kit homes… we’re thinking these would go so beautifully out on the retreat.

We’re thinking of getting our own to live on out there. This pic is of an “Outback” one which has nice big verandahs… it will probably look more “Balinese Tropical” out at the retreat once it’s surrounded by Whitsunday land, and lots of yummy gardens…

If you know of any more great home-making companies, please let us know… we’d so love to hear about them!

I just found these videos I took a few months ago, and thought I’d share them to give you all an idea of what it’s like to live out at Crystalbrook Retreat.

This first video is of me and my little sister Maryanne hanging out at the back of Crystalbrook Retreat, where we created our bushrock, driftwood and crystal labyrinth in the long grass by a creekbed. There are also special guest appearances by our horses.

Watching back over this is so beautiful and a little bit synchronicious – at the end, we joke about there being another little soul joining the clan… and one week later, one really did, and my love and I fell pregnant!

And this video is what it’s like to wake up in this part of the world… at my parent’s farmhouse which is a couple of kilometres from Crystalbrook Retreat.

I hope these videos help you get more of a feel for our special land… we love it so very much, and can’t wait to share it with even more beautiful souls… and for them to build their own sanctuaries here.

If you are called to being a part of the community here, please do contact my lovely mum Marilyn so she can show you around the acreages available…

I can’t wait to build even more crystal labyrinths and sacred spaces there… with our little growing community… and with our little one once they are out in the world!

Thank you for being here,

1.) You could possibly buy as a collective with family and friends. Blocks start at 4 acres, and it can be as cheap as $3 000 per 500 square metre block (the usual suburban house block size).

2.) Only 10% deposit is required now, with the rest in mid-2010.

3.) There is no need to build within a time frame, so you can take your time to grow into it and build your sanctuary in your own time.

If you are in the Whitsundays region, you can always phone or email my lovely mum Marilyn to arrange to come and see Crystalbrook Retreat’s land for yourself.

Would so love to have you there!

Leonie

Hola lovely souls!

We’re slowly adding to our Crystalbrook Retreat tribe, and I wanted to share this photo of our latest member… a little merbaby!

(This is a true to life x-ray photo – hee hee hee)

I was so blessed to have mama & dad & lil sis fly down here to Canberra to come to our ultrasound with us… we’re very blessed… and can’t wait to be living back up in the Whitsundays at the Retreat, raising our little merbaby out there.

We’ve had a few lovely emails this week from people interested in buying some land and becoming a part of the Retreat – so good to connect with such wonderful souls!

Just to reassure, we don’t have a “selection process” as such for being a part of the Retreat… we believe the right people will be called there by the land, and we’ll end up with the perfect people in our community.

Also, you can just put a 10% deposit down now, until we get the rest of the titles & operational works finished which should be around July 2010… we hope this will work out really beautifully for everyone, so you can start saving for the rest now.

And also… we really need to find the lovely people who are wanting to buy out there so that we can make sure Crystalbrook Retreat stays zoned on the town plan as being able to be bought as acreages by lovely souls. So if you are called to being out there, or know someone who might be interested, please do let us know.

If you’re wanting to find out more about the retreat, or come out and visit the land, please just call or email my beautiful mum Marilyn… she’s here to help.

Thank you for being you… and being a part of this big dream with us!

Hope you are having the most gorgeous day!

The Allan Clan

I am the poor man’s joy and comfort, the rich man’s prize,

the right hand of capital, the silent partner of many thousands of successful men.

I am the solace of the widow, the comfort of old age,

the cornerstone of security against misfortune and want.

I am handed down to children through generations, as a thing of great worth.

I am the choicest fruit of toil, credit respects me.

Yet I am humble.

I stand before man bidding him to know me for what I am and possess me.

I grow and increase in value every day.

I am the provider of natural wonders and breathtaking beauty which has existed since time began.

Though I seem dormant, my worth increases, never failing, never easing.

Fire and elements I defy for they cannot destroy me.

My caretakers learn to believe in me, invariably they become envied.

While all things wither and decay, I survive.

The centuries find me younger, measuring in my strength.

I am the foundation of Banks, the producer of food and the basis of all wealth through the world.

I am land.
