The International Holistic Centers’ Gathering

Over the last quarter century or more, many of us have clung to the notion that there is some kind of awakening of consciousness happening throughout the planet. Countless spiritual visionaries have spoken of a global paradigm shift, but in Bush's retrograde America can we really see any evidence that this is happening? Skeptics might do well to examine a little known event that has passed unnoticed by most observers – the annual International Gathering of Holistic Centers that took place recently at Hollyhock, Canada=s beautiful island retreat in British Columbia.
