We are excited to announce that we’ll be hosting the next SPIRIT CAFE group conversation on Saturday, December 20th at 11 am EST. What is Spirit Cafe? The leading topic this month will be Who & Where Are We, Anyways? ~ a check-in on what’s evolved for each of us, in terms of how we feel the ascension is going and how we see ourselves as galactic citizens! Yeah, really!!!
Lately, Rob’s channeling of 3i/Atlas (and Linda Dillon’s also & others) have got our team thinking more about this aspect of our ascending identities. Perhaps you, too, are tuning in to a sense that you remember something or resonate with some of the celestial civilizations out there… Have you got a story to share? A recent intuitive experience of knowing you have ET origins? Cosmic family? How is that helping you?
Sue sent this channeling to us this week, and synchronistically I, Jen, had just started reading Ken Carey’s book The Starseed Transmissions… guess we’re sharing a wave-length! LOL. Written in 1988 – who knew? (Perhaps you have all his books on your bookshelf.) We find things when it’s the best time for them to make sense to us. Personally, I wouldn’t have been able to relate 37 years ago! Ken Carey was way ahead of his time!! Enjoy this read: https://goldenageofgaia.com/2025/12/16/ken-carey-return-of-the-bird-tribes-chapter-one/
ANYWAYS… how are you doing? And have you been connecting to some of the fascinating channelings from and about Galactic Beings posted more often these days? We are really interested in the Arcturians! So much to learn and be excited about… and through something like Spirit Cafe, we can truly support each other.
SO— BRING your favorite cuppa and gather with us for a great conversation on Saturday!! We can’t wait to see you. Join us on Zoom at 11am EST on December 20th https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84820870165
A Gathering of Hearts, Healing, and Higher Purpose – by Jennifer Donaldson
We warmly welcome you to this month’s SPIRIT CAFE—a sacred space for sharing, reflection, and soul-deep conversation. Join us for an hour Saturday, Oct. 18 at 11 AM EDT as we come together in community to explore the themes that are calling to us.
This month, our topic emerges from two meaningful currents in our collective journey:
Many of us are experiencing loss, grief, or inner crisis—the kind that asks us to stop, breathe, and feel deeply – and accept the love offered by our friends & family.
As we prepare for our upcoming webinar, The Bridge to Nova Earth — a gathering designed to guide us into the next chapter of co-creation and conscious living, often the grace we need to go through the changes can be elusive.
So we ask: How do we lovingly let go of the deepest attachments— people, roles, beliefs —not in despair, but in reverence? And can that emptiness that feels like loss become the still point, the fertile ground for a life more aligned with our soul’s promise?
Together– introduced in this week’s SPIRIT CAFE … and then developed fully in our upcomingBRIDGE to NOVA EARTH 2 hour webinar with charts, visuals, exercises, channeling and more —
we’ll explore how loss can be an invitation… An invitation to new beginnings, new relationships, and new dimensions of being — within ourselves and upon this blessed planet home.
Let us meet in the space between letting go and becoming. Let us build the bridge to Nova Earth -in unity-
hand in hand, step by step, eye to eye, one smile after another.
Thank You for visiting with us… ❤ ❤ ❤ We really appreciate Your Light!
Portland Head Light through the sumac, September 2025, by Jennifer Donaldson
My friends, how are you doing? Many Light-workers and Love-holders report being particularly exhausted lately. Sensitivity to the world’s pain can drain our energy very quickly. Compassion for all that the planet is going through can stretch our spirits very thin.
Here is a way to refresh your weary heart: by taking a break rather than doing more, with easing up rather than trying so hard, with choosing peace rather than focusing more on the chaos, with a daily hour outdoors soaking up the color, the beauty, the inspiring design of our natural world.
I love to walk in a nearby park along the rocky edge of the ocean, breathing in the dee deep blue of the ocean, and the refreshing oxygen and presence of the trees. Then I find a bench and sit for a while with what is strong, enduring and grounding, the cliffs crowned by this beautiful Lighthouse.
Where are those special places in your part of the world? How can you take loving care of yourself in the midst of change? How can you rise through exhaustion to holding the excitement about the beautiful life in 5-D that is now open for everyone?
Our Lighthouse team has been sharing thoughts about this in preparation for our monthly SPIRIT CAFE coming up this Saturday- the 20th.
SPIRIT CAFE will be open again for an hour of conversation and a short meditation or channeling, on Saturday September 20th at 11 am EDT (Eastern USA.) Come for community, insight and more fascinating conversation about All Things Spiritual.
This month our team – all of us areCouncil of Loveteachers & coaches – will open a discussion on-line on the topic of Lightworker exhaustion vs optimism. Why are many feeling disheartened while others feel stronger than ever, full of hope and energy…. What is going on?
Linda Dillon, our mentor and founder of the Council of Love, with our angels & ascended masters, are constantly expanding our understanding through strategic, informative classes and seasonal events. Because of this great resource, many of us have bonded into a strong & supportive community, filled with hope for Nova Gaia.
Spirit Cafe is inspired by the Council of Love. Please join us this month! We’d love to see you. Everyone is most welcome.
Dear Friends ~ The Lighthouse team want to announce that our popular and beloved monthly hour of SPIRIT CAFE is moving from the second Saturday each month to the THIRD SATURDAY from now on….
So that means, our next CAFE will be on August 16th! Always at 11 Eastern (New York) time, we have recently ADDED an extra 15 minutes to our hour, for anyone who wants to stay for a channeled message from one of our favorite Ascended Masters or a guided healing meditation using the COL (Council of Love) tools we have learned to disperse negativity and amplify Love.
Sue, our Host, is very welcoming and keeps an eye on the time and encourages plenty of participation, and Martin leads the guided meditations. Jen and Rob and Roxanne are all ready to offer a channeling to lift the topic to a higher level.
We are always happy to see you, and if you have never come, please join us, you are always welcome!! In our two years on Zoom we have covered many fascinating spiritual topics and shared valuable insights from all of our diverse perspectives as spiritual beings living human lives on the ascending Planet Earth at this amazing time.
This last month in our channeling sessions the guidance of Trust, Surrender & Allow kept coming up. No matter what is happening in the turmoil around us, one or all of those choices will serve us best, individually or collectively. Here is the guidance that I got from AA Uriel on Trust, Surrender, and Allow.
AA Uriel: I’d like to add one point. So this group, this circle, is fond of reciting the expression to “Trust, Surrender and Allow.” I’d like to touch on the difference between surrender and allow. Of course, behind it all, in order to operate from this position of being in physicality, but fulfilling your portion of the divine plan, requires a tremendous amount of Trust.
You are trusting that even if you do not see the plan in its entirety, you know that it is there, and it is for the highest good of yourself and all involved. But the idea of surrender is simply you acknowledging, while in physical form, that you are not going to stand in the way. You are surrendering yourself to the higher plan based on that trust.
Whereas, Allowing says that you are not going to put anything in the way, that you are not going to erect any obstacles in the way, based most likely on your own ego’s perceptions of what is the right thing to do. That can be difficult to discern, we acknowledge. But as always, go into your heart and ask for guidance on what is the best for all concerned. And when you feel it, then you will know. I think that is enough for now. Thank you so much.
And thank You, Archangel Uriel!
There is no question that change is happening in all facets of our lives, in our relationships and in society … and it can be very unsettling. The real question is how are we dealing with it? Or, better yet, as lightworkers, how are we putting ourselves in the right energy to transition to the new world where unity consciousness, compassion and concern for the common good prevail?
In our view, the answer lies in:
Trust, that all is happening according to Divine Plan;
Surrender, put aside our own ego’s desire to dictate the outcome and control how it unfolds;
Allow, determine not to put up any obstacles in the unfoldment of that Plan.
Please join us for our next Spirit Cafe, more info on SPIRIT CAFE, where we will explore these ideas and share how each of us are doing this … or using other methods. How are you putting yourself in a space of creating the new? This will be exciting ~ See you on Saturday ( 11 am New York time…)
Dear Friends, we are looking forward to another SPIRIT CAFE this Saturday, at 11 AM Eastern time, for our monthly conversation from the spiritual perspective. in our personal lives, there have been several deaths, real grieving, and much reflection on the larger aspects of transitioning from our old world, and ways of doing things, into Nova Earth, a collective experience we are creating. In other words, we are all experiencing a kind of death on some level, we are all in a stage of transition, so we will be exploring that this coming Saturday in our hour-long group conversation. You are very welcome to join us. Here’s
AND— Here is part of last week’s group channeling session in which Yeshua/Jeshua speaks on this topic.
” Jen: We are wanting to understand more about this grieving process and the value of grieving and the purpose of grieving to help us transition into Nova Gaia, in all her glory, into creating all that we’re going to be creating. Is grieving the first step?
Yeshua (via Jen): This is Yeshua. I am first to come forward to make a commentary on this. I am glad to be here tonight with all of you. It is our great pleasure to listen in and hear your musings and your wonderings and your Insights, and we are very pleased to be invited to elaborate, in brief.
My insight is that, yes, it is important to go through the grieving for there to be welcomed in a new life. When there has been a loss of the old, whether it was a relationship, a loved one, or a stage of your life, there is a period where there is grieving. There are tears, when you realize you will not see these ones again. There are tears and there is uncertainty and there is all manner of emotion: denial, irritation.
Anger does not have to be always full blown rage. Sometimes it is irritability, but it is an important stage when you have reached the end of one road, one path, one adventure, one stage of life, and you are moving into a new one.
And this is happening collectively. This is the first time in a very long time in which you as a humanity, as humanity, are stepping forward into the new, leaving the old behind. And it is a very important passageway. It is a ritual, a rite of passage. And it has its recurrences, and it has its experience, which is common to all of you, although you will not all feel it simultaneously.
All of you are feeling, consciously or unconsciously, levels of this grieving, and so it is a part of things. It is a root of the anger being shown on your planet at this time. It is certainly a root of the denial. It is the clinging to the past. It is the romanticizing how good the past was, when, in fact, continued life is full of promise, full of wonder and new, unimagined experience, which will be fantastic in many ways. You see? Why look backward and go, “Oh, but we are so close”?
Jennifer is continually being given this image of the graduation. When one is together with a small group of people, and one becomes very, very close, and you are nearing the final months of being together, you have been together for years, and you’re very bonded, and there is a form of grieving which is experienced. And there is the sense of lostness and not knowing what the new will be when you are then parted. You’ve had your hugs and your tears and all of this. It is very similar to what is happening now on the Earth.
And some of you are graduating, and some of you are just starting high school, but this is fine. There is a bit of a continuum, but you are all still embarking on this great adventure together, and it is definitely a part of it.
Thank you for letting me participate. Thank you for inviting me.”

The Lighthouse Team of Council Of Love Teachers, Sue, Adrienne, Rob, Roxanne, Martin and I, are all excited to announce that we’ll be holding the nextSPIRIT CAFEconversation on Saturday, APRIL 12th at 11 am EDT (Eastern time)!!!
We so look forward to these rich open conversations on relevant topics. This month, all our chats have led to “Riding the Waves of Change”. How are we getting through the rough and tumble of this time of transformation, intact and with grace? So much seems to be coming at us, too fast!
What we are learning in the melee is that everything seems to serve a purpose for good. Every day is full of miracles. Everything we experience can be seen as a challenge and a blessing.
But it often takes our friends to help us understand this alchemy of perspective, to see the hard and scary times as invitations to align. And what’s the quickest way to alignment? Let’s talk about it on Saturday! Join us? It’s free and you are most welcome to listen in or add your perspective.
The following is a related inner conversation with an Angel called Alashara. She speaks to our theme in a truly loving and helpful way, coaching us in how to ride these waves every day and reminding us of the power of our choice.
Your Joy is Innate, channeled by Jennifer Joy Donaldson April 4, 2025
Alashara: Yes, this is Alashara. I am here to remind you to be open to surprises. You have -at your fingertips – any one of us to have a conversation with.
I step forward because I wanted to remind you that you have prepared for this time, that you have within you all knowledge. You can see what is before us. You can see your way through the tunnel. You know the shape and the beauty and the wonder of what is at the end of the tunnel. This has all been shown to you in preparation for this journey. It is there for you. There are occasions when you will shudder a little, a spider falls down from the top of the tunnel and you go, “Whoa!”
But you are very good at re-centering yourself. And do not for a moment berate yourself for taking the time that it takes to recenter, to come back to your place of peace, your place of comfort, your place of wisdom, your inner strength. It is there, and this is the human journey.
These are the moments that knock you off your feet, the waves that knock you off your feet, and you are sitting in the midst of the swirl, and your feet are in the air and you’re laughing, but you find your balance. Do you come out a bit wet, and it takes a while to dry off?
You were wondering where and how to find your joy in the midst of the discomfort of change. Yes. Remember, your joy is innate. Your joy is a very deep part of you. It is the core of you. But allow yourself the entire journey. Allow yourself all of those sensations, all of those emotions. And you do know you can tug on us when you are feeling extreme discomfort.
As far as what to tell others at this time, do not hide the joy, if you need to make a headline: “sharing joy In the midst of misery, in the midst of fear, in the midst of doubt and worry”- share your joy.
You are wondering: How, in a time when so much creativity is surfacing, so many ideas are coming forward— “Oh, we could do this. Oh, we could do this, we could do this, we could do this,” and then you find that you are doing more and you find you are more exhausted. Yes, it is a time of adjustment in this way.
You will find yourself burgeoning. This is an old word, burgeoning, such as, the Earth is now burgeoning. Much is growing, much is popping up, just springing forth, and it is greatly beautiful.
Allow yourself to be comfortable, no matter what happens. Allow yourself to trust the pacing. Trust the flow to contain the best speed for each day. Do not distrust the flow. We have invited you over and over to allow the flow. So why distrust it? Why label it? Why? Why say it is too fast or there is not enough of it, or there is not enough time. Just know that what there is time for is in the perfect flow. What you feel like doing is in the perfect flow.
You do not need to commit yourself to everything way ahead of time. You can always be clear that you will choose what is in your highest alignment at the time. And it is not always possible to see this ahead of time. And others will wait. They will go about choosing their best flow.
You choose, and then it manifests. Andthen you ride the waves. But it begins with choice. The choice is the initiator. If you choose a peaceful day, choose a peaceful day. Watch it unfold. Begin your morning with your choice, your conscious choice. “Today, I choose a peaceful flow”, and even surprises will come to you as delightful rather than alarming.
And you, if you are being empathic, will pick up on everybody else’s feelings. But that does not need to swamp you, that does not need to upend you. Just say, “I notice. I notice there are strong feelings about this. We will be all right.” Be there when you can for another’s feelings, just calmly, and trust them to handle it.
You have all been learning, some of you more consciously than others, but you have all been learning. … So trust this and know that you are doing very, very well, and not only that, we are very grateful for your sense of dedication and purpose, for your love you are bringing the planet. We are with you in that love. We will restore you. We will add our love to your love. We want to share our love, too, on the planet. Thank you for channeling. Thank you for being in relationship with all else.

JOIN Host Sue Scofield and friends for a rousing discussion of what’s new, what’s growing, and where we might find some joy…Spring is on the horizon! We may not see it yet, it’s certainly bleak and cold in the North still, but somewhere, somewhere, the crocuses are peeking up and daffodils stretching their stalks, lifting their heads, and opening their countenances after the long winter’s nap.
Maybe we just need to “trust, surrender and allow”, maybe we just need to HOPE, or just believe in the cycles of nature to carry us forward into a brighter, more energizing season. Even if we don’t believe in the Divine Mother, embodied as Terra-Gaia, She Still Is. The ancient saying from the Oracle at Delphi goes: Bidden or not bidden, God is present.
So, apart from our perceptions of what’s going on “out there”, there is a “Ground of Being” that sustains us, that shares energy with us. And what is energy but love? What would life be like if we saw everything – Everything – as an expression of Love? Jeshua once said to me : “All Love is energy, all energy is Love.” It may not always express itself as the highest version of itself… “Darkness is only energy that has lost up to 97% of its light.” And the light is coming back, as it does every Spring… Thoughts? How do you feel? What gives you energy when you’re feeling low?
These are the musings and wonderings, the kind of sharing of our heart-minds that we play in on Saturdays when our team holds a Spirit Cafe (every 2nd Saturday). It’s that time again! Won’t you consider dropping in?
Note: Some of us are still attending or teaching the course: Yeshua & The Magdalena, on Saturdays, and will be unable to join in this month, but Sue and Roxanne will hold CAFE for all who come, and we’ll be back in April!!
HI Everyone! Just a warm invitation to our monthly zoom chat, SPIRIT CAFE, an open forum on a variety of spiritual topics. Hosted by our teammates Sue Scofield and Roxanne Smith, come and enjoy conversation with a mug of your choice and a bunch other people who quickly become friends. No particular theme this time, so, what’s on your mind? It’s a full hour, free and always fascinating! Starts at 11 am EST. Here’s the quick link https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81970023054
By the way, as the scheduling for our course Yeshua and the Magdalena landed on the same day and time, and several of us are in that class or teaching it and won’t be able to attend the CAFE, it will be fun to see who turns up this month! Try it –you’ll like it!
cU (see you, get it? looks like a little mug! LOL) Love to all!
