The Cove

   The Cove is a wonderfully encouraging and inclusive 

group of creators and catalysts in your local area.  

You are warmly invited to dive in, or simply create a Cove of your own!

Inside the Cove 

     The COVE (Circle Of Vision and Evolution) is a local Aha! groups of artists, intuitives, educators, environmentalists, innovators, catalysts, visionaries and world servers.  Through each COVE local creative spirits help nourish each other through various types of visionary gatherings and circles including Imagination Salons (potluck banquets and music / art showcase), Cosmic Stories (film play and discussion on cosmos, creativity and environment) and Fascination Circles (adventurous events, studies and workshops).  

     The COVE provides a warm, friendly and playful sphere where creative spirits can connect, share vision and generally stayed better informed on various creative and evolutionary trends in their local community and others. COVE formats very from COVE to COVE.  Established COVES often share knowledge, insight and more sustainable and wise information with other COVES across the State and World. Some exchange lodging and retreats, etc. and often other playful and imaginative  exchanges. 

     Starting a COVE in your area and connecting to others COVES is very easy!   Just write Julie Windsor at SplendorWise@cs.com and let her know: a) your name and area.  b) if you are a member of Aha! at any level or if you have the book by Boomer, Aha! Director, In the Middle of a Miracle, c) do you have at least one other person ready to start doing meetings / gatherings in your area. d) what you intend to achieve for your local group. (Note: it is okay to have your Cove group overlap with any other creative group, spiritual circle, film play, etc.  It is a loosely and organically organized group!)  

Current Coves 

     There is a great vibrancy and growth of spirit occurring at the grassroots.  The following are established areas with Coves and their leaders.  Some of them have been hosting gatherings or meetings for years.  Others are quite new.  Other Coves that are now forming will be listed very soon.  To inquire about local Cove gatherings and events in your area please email Julie at SplendorWise@cs.com

Be Part of Playful, Creative 

and Intentional Community 

     Aha! is now seeking active creative spirits (from California and beyond) who know that the future of Earth is in more sustainable living and more creative and harmonious community.  We are looking for playful, imaginative and intentional beings (from any spiritual path) who wish to live, work and play closer to the beauties and splendors of nature and live in more imaginative and effective community

     Specifically we are seeking green gardeners, farmers, cooks, builders, visual artists, performers, studio arrangers, retreat planners, computer programmers and promoters and others who wish to come together in greater community.  We are creating circles of community including greater physical  community around our Shasta COVE and our new Aha! Center in Shasta, CA.  The new Aha! Center (others are also being developed) includes three acres of facility / grounds, gardens and sanctuary (and six bedrooms) where greater community and activities are now born and emerging.   (Pictures and more details coming!) 

     For more info on joining us at or around our developing Shasta COVE and our Aha! Center in Shasta, CA please email Boomer at TheArtistsLine@cs.com   Simply let him know a) where you are from, b) what your intentions are towards building more creative and harmonious community c) any specific areas of passion or unique talents you bring to community, d) are you interested in working in your current region and developing a facility you have there, or working (playing) at one of our currently developing facilities. 

Visions in the Cove

"So planners, architects and engineers take the initiative.  Go to work, and above all co-operate and don't hold back on one another or try to gain at the expense of another.  Any success in such lopsidedness will be increasing short-lived."

Scientist, architect and visionary, Buckminster Fuller

“Enlightened collectives will fulfill an important function in the arising of the

new consciousness. Just as egoic collectives pull you into unconsciousness

and suffering, the enlightened collective can be a vortex for consciousness

that will accelerate the planetary shift.”

Author and spiritual visionary, Eckhart Tolle

"The day will come, when the idea of spiritual community will

spread through the world like wildfire. Gather together, those of you

who share high ideals. Pool your resources. Buy land in the country.

A simple life will bring you inner freedom.”

Author and spiritual visionary, Paramahansa Yogananda
