Greetings Friends!
To the LifeNet website in North America

Our goals are to support and strengthen the geomancy group of students brought together here in North America by the work of Marko and Ana Pogacnik and their family, and to begin to develop a network of individuals and organizations who share an interest and commitment to being and working with Gaia in all her beautiful dimensions. This new geomancy work is not exclusive to Marko and Ana — many other people and organizations are working to develop a new holistic approach to working with the earth and all her denizens — but their approach and the North American School of Geomancy that they have initiated in America is our starting point.

You will notice that Marko and Ana have provided us with a cosmogramme for our website and an introductory poem. We live and breathe images, as well as the written and spoken word, song and movement, and we hope that the design and feel of the website reflects the many ways in which we celebrate and communicate.

The first two-year geomancy “class” completed its work and study in March, 2008, culminating in a geopuncture project and installation at Foxhollow Farm outside of Louisville, Kentucky. Descriptions of the locations and work undertaken by this first group over the two-year course are described in the newsletters found on the website. Photos of the Foxhollow Farm project are available on the links page. This group will continue to meet, learn and work with Ana and Marko, as well as with each other. A second two-year geomancy class will begin in September of 2008 – the course description and registration form is available on our links page.

Our LifeNet work in North America is also part of a growing world-wide network of individuals and group who share our interest and commitment to working with Gaia. The first international Geomancy Congress will be held in Slovenia in July of 2008, described on our workshops page.

On our links page you also can be treated to Marko's Welcome Back to the Earth, an excerpt from his recent book Sacred Geography, published in 2008 by Lindisfarne Press. Welcome Back to the Earth describes the thinking and practice that is the basis for a new and holistic geomantic approach to Gaia that he has been developing over the past 30 years.

Please send our web address to friends, family and colleagues, and contact us with suggestions for future newsletters and additions to our e-mail list. Thank you!

On behalf of the geomancy group, and Marko and Ana,
Sandy Littell & Leslie Luchonok
