I wish I could take you with me to places in Southern England and Wales which are so full of ancient magic.
I am finishing a 12-day tour here with my dear friends, Ruth Buckingham and Phil Richardson. We have held four day-long sessions of Healing Chant. Gail Stewart offered a sound bath with gongs, chimes, singing bowls and her own voice as a part of these sessions.
In between, we visited ancient sites, many of them associated with the King Arthur legend: Tintagel, where he was conceived; Glastonbury, the site of Avalon; and a Roman amphitheater in Caerleon, Wales, once thought to be the site of the Round Table.
We also visited ancient stone circles in Cornwall: The Hurlers, the Merry Maidens, and Boscawen-ûn.
Ruth, Phil and I are doing research to create a transformational tour of these places in the autumn of 2017.
This poem shares my experience of the stone circles.
Standing Stones
I hear the voice of his people
through their warm presence now,
laughing on a day
so long ago
that has suddenly become today.
This October sun shines
on their ancient foreheads
and meets a fire
from within their cheerful heart
of loving stone.
Thank you, ancestors,
for this monument
to the ordering power of creation
pulsing within you then
and within me now.
-David Karchere
Yes

Hello David, how wonderful for you to visit that area, covering Cornwall and Glastonbury. The weather was so conducive for you too. I have lived in Glastonbury, we used to witness flying saucers and such like over the area! I am sorry I missed you at Malvern.Could I ask for prayers for my family, please? We have lost a member of our family, a thirty year old, who lived the last ten years with addictions. Thank you. I am so thankful that I am aware of our Great Spirit. Blessings and love to all, Margaret.
Yes, blessings for your family, Margaret. May the power of universal love reign supreme. ~ David

Rocks speak in silent breath of heartbeat of the ancestors.
Suddenly comes this new day dawning, rising in the circle of stones, to own our place at the Round Table of life.

So magical, ancient and current. May we hear the stones singing out for joy
Dear David, What a great adventure you have lived surrounded by loving friends at you side. To discover such amassing site of a time when men and women were expressing the noble identity God gave them to act in creating such a loving society. It does inspire the heart to sing with joy and creat such a touching poem. Thank you for sharing with us such an epic journey.
One with You, Michel
It was such a divine pleasure to take part and be part of a moving meaningful experience. Sharing captivating spaces in time and places, some I had never been and some I knew so well and so intimately.
Meeting new people who had never felt the full magic of Somerset, Cornwall and Devon was so uplifting to be part of. Feeling the full extent of their first awe along with my own was a great pleasure to behold – vistas, stone circles, castles, seas and chanting.
A perfect way to discover new yet magically ancient experiences with like minded friends? thank you
Thank you so much for hosting us, Karen. It was magical. ~ David
Thank you for knowing where the Magic is ???
So wonderful and exciting David. I’ve visited some of the places you mentioned and the ancient energies and magic are so palpable there. Great to re-touchin to those wonderful places through your experience. Thanks.
So glad it worked out so well. Blessings and care for you, Tessa
Wow what I could give to be there among the singing stones …They speak to me as you have with your poem. Such an adventure it would be to walk among the ancient ones of the past feeling the good energy of love. Barbara
