Lothlorien's new official page to share information with Elvin HOME members and friends. that doesn't depend on one by one friending. KEOA

We still haven't been able to regain access to our original page so we're creating this (hopefully) temporary replacement page for Elvin HOME, Inc. With the summer festival season beginning, celebrating the 40th anniversary of our founding and other things happening, it's really useful to have a more accessible page for announcements and event information and for people to be able to ask

questions, share links, etc. For general discussion, idea sharing, and just getting acquainted, there are Facebook groups run by members, including LOVE- Lothlorien Online Voices for Earth and Lothlorien VPO (Vice President Outreach).

"On this longest day of the year, may you remember that the light you seek also lives within you.
May the sun's generous glow nourish the dreams taking root in your life, strengthen all that is grounded and true, and gently reveal what is ready to emerge.
May you embrace joy without hesitation, rest without guilt, and find beauty in each moment.
As the sun reaches its peak, may you pause to honor the distance you have traveled and trust the unfolding path ahead.
May this season bring clarity to your mind, courage to your heart, and gratitude for the countless blessings, seen and unseen, that accompany you each day.
And as the days slowly turn, may you carry this light forward, sharing its warmth through your kindness, your presence, and your love.
Blessed Summer Solstice to you, and may the radiance of this season shine within you and around you always." Mary Anne Byrne

Solstice Blessings to all of you from Lothlorien. Borrowed words this time. The past few days have been so full and such an emotional journey that I have none of my own. Thank you all for being part of this bright and loving community. Thank you all for making Lothlorien part of your journey. Blessings, warmth and illumination to all of you!

Earth Day Blessings to one and all!

“I am the Earth
And the Earth is me.
Each blade of grass,
Each honey tree,
Each bit of mud,
And stick and stone
Is blood and muscle,
Skin and bone.

And just as I
Need every bit
Of me to make
My body fit,
So Earth needs
Grass and stone and tree
And things that grow here
Naturally.

That’s why we
Celebrate this day.
That’s why across
The world we say:
As long as life,
As dear, as free,
I am the Earth
And the Earth is me.”
