Wake Up! Works

          You are invited to become a co-creator and founding member of The Society of Grand People. The Society of Grand People is comprised of Grand Females and Grand Males - people of all ages who have made a commitment to being GRAND expressions of the Divine and to supporting others in doing the same. It's a free will community of people who share the same ideas and ideals for living life with Soul Presence.
     In April 2010 the seed idea for reestablishing, anchoring and balancing the Divine Feminine Principle on Earth came from Divine Mother through Tonia Pinheiro and was affirmed by Ebony Three Arrows. Through a series of gatherings and events beginning in May and June 2010, elders, adults, young adults, teens and children will establish a new standard and paradigm for living life in the 21st century with authenticity, integrity, truth, generosity, gratitude, compassion, openness and joy.
     The Society of Grand People is a free will organization. Passive membership is based on your commitment to live your life in accordance and in integrity with the established principles and practices of The Society of Grand People (which are currently being developed). Active membership is based on the same commitment as Passive membership along with your decision to create and/or participate in groups and initiatives that appeal to you. 
     Following are the events we held in May and June 2010. May was focused on the Divine Feminine Principle. June was focused on the Divine Masculine Principle. Please write to Tonia with your thoughts and ideas about what being a Grand Woman, Grand Girl, Grand Man or Grand Boy means to you.

For one person's perspective on how the masculine-feminine split took place and why we should bring our male and female selves back together again please read Meg Benedicte's article entitled:  Rescuing Adam, the Divine Masculine

What and Who is a Grand Woman?
An open conversation hosted by Tonia Pinheiro
at The Black Indian Inn, 38 Bicknell Street, Dorchester, MA
Wed., May 12, 2010, 7:30-9:00 pm; free.

The dictionary defines GRAND as an adjective meaning: large and impressive in size, scope, or extent; magnificent; rich and sumptuous; of a solemn, stately, or splendid nature; noble or admirable in conception or intent; wonderful or very pleasing; of or befitting royalty. In the context of our newly established Grand People Society (GPS), Grand is synonymous not with ego-puffing but with the Divine or the I AM Presence/God Within. How might we merge and expand these definitions to apply to ordinary people sharing their gifts and talents to awaken beauty, peace, acceptance, wisdom, and redemption in the hearts and minds of others? Join us for this important conversation as we focus on defining Grand Woman and Grand Girl.
[You are invited and welcome to join us at 6:30 pm before this event for the Green Mt. Band of Aniyunwiwa Meditation led by Ebony Three Arrows.]
