I Knew I Had Come Home: Leslie’s Story

In celebration of Lightwork’s 30th Anniversary

I recall the first time I fully experienced the magic of the Lightwork community. Early in my Level 4 journey, I attended my first live Winter Sacred Space. It was a cold, snowy evening when I arrived at the Centre for Peace. The Great Hall had been transformed into a twinkly golden sanctuary, rich and welcoming.

I was shown a seat in one of the rows of chairs outside the main circle. From there I could see community members sitting on the floor, supported by back jacks, with a beautiful centre mandala made of things from the earth. I had always loved rituals and longed for more of them in my life. The evening unfolded with sacred songs, images, stories, poetry — and of course, dancing! Midway through the program, a wave of deep happiness moved through me. At that moment, I knew I had come home.
