Benin Unit of Service, Nigeria

A seminar was held on December 21st with the theme: “The New Group of World of Servers: Pioneers of the Emerging Spiritual Civilization in the Age of Aquarius” Papers were presented by Dr. (Mrs.) Isoken Ogboro and Dr. Borke Moghene. Gatherings for meditation were also held during the Week at the group’s Esoteric Library in Benin.

Edinburgh Full Moon Meditation Group, Scotland

Group members gathered to watch the live broadcast of the London Lucis Trust seminar. I got to see group service in action, which until then, had been an obscure theoretical concept, which I was struggling to get my head around …. We were not just individuals getting together, rather, we were more powerful, as a group, together. … During the break William played a piece of music, one of his own compositions, inspired by Simon and Emma’s presentation. A beautiful unifying moment for our group. … the day was a wonderful opportunity for our group to connect with each other and the wider group. More

Rosendale Group gathering at Lifebridge Sanctuary, NY, USA

The Festival Week gathering hosted by Rosendale World Service Group at Lifebridge Sanctuary in the Hudson Valley, New York began with a Solstice celebration for the local community on December 21^st, including a shared Silent Minute, and ended on December 28^th. Well attended with participants from as far afield as Russia, Brazil and Colombia, the residential gathering included three daily meditations for world service, studies from selected passages in the Bailey books, group reflection and conversation, and occasional linking with other groups in shared webinars. Many deep, heartful conversations were held in the circle in response to the energies of the Week. More

Athens groups, Greece

Three groups from Athens co-operated to organize a well-attended meeting in the city center (at its peak around hundred people) on December 21st. Preparations for the event began when groups co-operated in organizing gatherings for Wesak and the Festival of Goodwill in June. There was a steady group focus and a rather intense orientation towards this significant spiritual landmark of the year [the Festival Week], although a great part of the work was running subjective hence sometimes not easily recognized as such based on outer effects. … In general, the first day of the “Week of Group Impact” was quite powerful, giving inspiration and impetus for the days following of not least importance.

Africa Goodwill Meditation Group – Skype meeting and Lagos, Nigeria Seminar

This Festival Week was very memorable, writes a co-worker from Lagos, by far the most impressive I have experienced in my 56 years working with Arcane School and Lucis Trust. A Skype meeting was held on December 21^st when co-workers took part in a discussion on the meaning and significance of silence, in preparation for the exact time when the group, together, entered the Global Silent Minute. On December 28 a seminar was held on the theme The Power of Silence in Serving Humanity and the Divine Plan, including a talk by Harrison Juwe. The discussions were animated and diverse and all of us learnt something new. More

Grupo de Estudos Maitreya, Lisbon, Portugal

A GEM gathering on December 26 was amazing!  … We felt really blessed for having had the opportunity to celebrate such an important moment for each one of us and for the whole humanity. We enjoyed some fantastic two hours together, in an environment of pure delight. We all did meditations, repeated mantras, listened to music and poetry, heard about astrology, we had Tibetan bowls, everything bringing the Light of the Spiritual Hierarchy closer to Earth, in order to contribute to a better world. There are no words... only Love! More

Esoteric Advent Group, daily link

Today marked the final day of the 7-Day celebration of the New Group of World Servers. With it, I sensed then and sense now an inward turn of the esoteric world group community towards a quieter, peaceful stillness … towards a silent Center. The entire Field with which we have been attuned and within which we have been working appears to be radiating a heightened stillness. And for us, an ease of entry into the “Power of Silence” has been our gain. With every group entry into the Peaceful Silent Center, we find our way into the Home of the Lord of the World.

Society for Enhancement of Quality of Life, Vancouver, BC, Canada

One co-worker reports:  The overall impression, for me, was that, the events helped rekindle both the group’s and each individual’s awareness of the urgency of our participation in order to assist the works on the higher planes while living our true nature on this physical plane. More
