Linda Dillon, channel for the Council of Love, relates the backstory to COL Annual Gatherings.
In summer of 1996, as I began listening to our unseen friends about the 13th Octave, little did I know that the seed was being planted for the Council of Love Annual Gatherings.
I had no idea of the sweet wealth of information, gifts and guidance that would be bestowed upon us year after year.
For the past 18 years the Council has taught us about the 13th Octave, the state of Divine Union from which all our work with the Council of Love is undertaken. The entire process of the 13th Octave initiation and workshop came to me over a period of months – the “how to”, the blessings and virtues, everything right down to where to hold the first Gathering.
The miracles that occurred during that time to make the first workshop possible and the remarkable surprise of who showed up, still moves me every time I think about it. This was how the COL led me to my dear friend and fellow “13er”, Taka, who has been part of every Council of Love Annual Gathering since the beginning.
The initial gift of the 13th Octave was and is monumental! It has laid the ground work for our Ascension.
Every workshop comes with an array of gifts and tools (e.g. Mary’s gift of removal, Gabriel’s golden infinity, Uriel’s silver flame, St. Germaine’s violet flame) to help complete our missions here on Earth with Grace, Love, and Joy.
How the gifts of the 13th Octave work, is that they are anchored within the group, the original recipients and once that has occurred, the gift flowers and is bestowed and embedded within every “13er”.
This gifting is done without a word being spoken; the gifts are simply instilled into the hearts of those who say, “Yes.”
The Annual Council of Love Gathering is a celebration, honoring and deepening that original gift of the 13th Octave, plus… It is a gathering of your soul family, circle and friends who come together year after year to laugh and play and reconnect – it is a chance for each of us to know, not only that we’re not crazy but that we’re not alone.
The process, how the Annual Gathering emerges, has never changed since that initial introduction years ago. One day the Council nudges me and there it is – the topic for the next Gathering.
At each Annual Gathering, the Council sets the agenda and theme for the upcoming year, what we will be working on, what the next step is in our spiritual and human journey. The Council leads us through a process by teaching, opening and expansion.
At the beginning it was the 13th Octave. Next the Council moved on to Accessing the Universal Internet, teaching us how to access the Grid and how to use the amazing gifts. Then came the Channeling Course and Angel Wings, working with our future selves – the Wingmakers and then Partnerships: Human and Divine, moving us from our sole/soul journey into union and community. These were followed by areas I never dreamed of teaching but the Council had other ideas – Heart & Healing, Creation and Co-Creation, Joy and Wisdom Vision.
Now the Council tells us it’s time to step up and embrace our creator selves, to step forward in Union and Re-union with ourselves, our sacred partners and each other. We do so to claim our mastery and manifest in physicality our dreams and destinies, to co-create Nova Earth.
We could not have reached this place without the pre-requisite work and yet newcomers are always welcome because their soul circle has laid the foundation. We are an equal opportunity party.
The Annual Gatherings are a celebration, the atmosphere is festive and the location beautiful. We take time to be together, to go outside and enjoy everything Gaia and the kingdoms have to offer.
This year we gather in Lake Tahoe. The lake, the trees, our star family, the entire Council has beckoned us to this new location. We come together to experience the gifts and miracles of our sacred beings and the partnership with the higher dimensions and realms. We come together to declare ourselves as ascended and as One.
We have just begun to see and really experience the fullness of our human and divine missions and purposes.
Come and be part of this unified circle of Love – come make history.
