The UK was the birthplace of Metatronic Healing, and the work is thriving here, as Pippa oversees its continuing development with Clare most often at the teaching helm. It will increasingly flow out towards Europe, but the Metatronic Life Foundation was formed in 2011; it is based in the USA and it is from here that we are working to grow the international work, with increasing emphasis on specific areas of need.

We are running a Foundation Course in Rhinebeck in April, a heavenly retreat in a beautiful and picturesque setting, somewhere between Albany and New York City. What is happening in that State that may benefit from the attention of some of those we are setting out to train? Many of our students, of course, have their own practices well established among the clientele who are drawn to them and whom they choose. But some are also moved to address the needs at the outer edges of society. In Albany, the State Capital, for instance, there is wonderful potential to profit from the quaintness of its historic downtown, but homelessness, poverty and the resulting drunkenness have deprived the streets of much of their charm and discouraged new business from taking route. And what of New York, where child poverty is high - and where it's stating the obvious to say that this is but one of a vast number of urgent challenges?

2-year vision: 200 bursaries a year for volunteer training and service in specific communities where poverty and addiction, criminality and homelessness create the most urgent needs.

Another area of focus: It came to our attention recently that Amma - the great Avatar from Kerala in India, the one known as the 'Hugging Mother' - works to provide food for the hungry not only all over India and the developing world, but also to 75,000 citizens of America, supposedly the wealthiest country in the world. Dire poverty and its resulting hunger is just one of countless, urgent social issues in this great and wonderful country.

5-year vision: 3 Metatronic Educational and Healing Centers in key cities.

Another widespread issue, particularly in Hawaii and on the West Coast, is the plight of the Korean and other Asian immigrants who were brought over to Hawaii originally over a century ago as slave or cheap labor for the sugar plantations. They have become absorbed into the general population in Hawaii and California - or have they? Life is not so simple: there are complex issues of culture here. How does a culture forged on the principles of unity and submission merge harmoniously and comfortably with one based on the supremity of the individual?

We are moving toward a one-world consciousness: we have to, if we wish to survive let alone thrive. The world has become a great melting pot of merging and emerging cultures and the opportunity is wide open for us to work together to create a healthier and happier world; a crucial step in that process is learning to live happily with ourselves, our closest loved ones and our immediate communities; it is to work toward ever-growing personal awareness, consciousness and self-responsibility - and this is the primary aim of Metatronic Healing, out of which all else flows.

One of the first goals of the Metatronic Life Foundation is to provide enough bursaries to train and facilitate workers in these key sectors to employ the frequencies and skills gifted by Metatron to address such urgent local concerns.
