Having just moved into Prana West, this was my very first event at Prana with the Traveler as a <em>resident<\/em> \u2014 and the excitement was almost too much to contain. I barely slept the night before and practically skipped the entire way there. I knew I had finally arrived, I was Home. And I was about to immerse myself in the Easter experience with the Traveler and my beloved MSIA family!<\/p>\n<p>To prepare for the weekend, a dear friend suggested we watch last year&#8217;s Good Friday Seminar with John Morton. What a perfect way to open into the Christ Consciousness and the unconditional living love that John so beautifully embodies. (I had actually been in the room for that original event, having stayed at Prana as a guest that Easter weekend \u2014 so revisiting it carried an extra sweetness.)<\/p>\n<p>Saturday morning we began with a beautiful blessing for our Nigerian family who were having their own conference. So at 9:00am we gathered in the newly updated Large Seminar Room at Prana to enjoy the Traveler sharing with Nigeria. Technical glitches could not stop the flow of loving and joy that emanated from John Morton and all present. It was a delightful opportunity to recognize our global MSIA family and the profound connection we all enjoy under the umbrella of the Traveler Consciousness. It opened my heart wider and filled me up even more.<\/p>\n<p><em>(And if you haven&#8217;t visited Prana recently \u2014 you truly owe it to yourself. The updates and refurbishments are magnificent, and the beauty, peace, and tranquility are more alive than ever.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Sound Current of God Easter Workshop was beautifully facilitated by Pauli Sanderson and Justin Jayne with their unique blend of wisdom, humor, and loving. The workshop unveiled yet more insights into the blessings of The Sound Current as brought forward through John-Roger\u2019s teachings. One of particular poignance for me is that once you\u2019ve partaken of the sound current, you cannot live without it.<\/p>\n<p>The energy in the room was sublime and the peace was palpable. All told, it was a beautiful, enriching, and sacred experience.<\/p>\n<p>And in case our cups were not overflowing enough, we had magnificent Traveler Sharing with John Morton for both in-person and online attendees. The blessings truly overflowed.<\/p>\n<p>Following the workshop came a deeply moving gift: <em>The Garden Tomb with John Morton<\/em>, featuring a video of J-R recorded at the Garden Tomb, centered on Spiritual Intercessory Work. John&#8217;s evocative introduction, framed against the millennia-long conflict in the Middle East, brought everything into focus for me \u2014 a reminder that it is all part of God&#8217;s perfect plan, and<\/p>\n<p>that our role as initiates is to focus on the Light, demonstrate the loving, and pray for peace. A perfect trifecta for Easter.<\/p>\n<p>The weekend events closed with a swan song that said it all: Mahalia Jackson&#8217;s magnificent recording of <em>&#8220;He&#8217;s Got the Whole World in His Hands&#8221;<\/em> from 1968 \u2014 recorded just months after Dr. Martin Luther King passed. It was profoundly moving, and it felt like a loving nod to the Traveler himself, and the way John Morton embodies that consciousness over and over again. I couldn&#8217;t help but feel, with immense comfort and gratitude, that he truly does hold the whole world \u2014 and the Worlds Without End \u2014 in his beautiful and loving hands.<\/p>\n<p>What a blessed Easter.<\/p>\n<h4>View the Photos by David Sand from the Easter Events at Prana, 2026<\/h4>\n<div style=\"max-width: 640px; height: 400px\" class=\"fshow-wrapper\">\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/fshow_orbit_568f69558d682?photosetid=72177720333221335&user_id=71628367%40N07&gallery_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2F71628367%40N07%2Fsets%2F72177720333221335%2F\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 400px\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"true\" mozallowfullscreen=\"true\" border=\"0\">\n<\/iframe>\n<noscript>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/s\/aHBqjCRAHv\" target=\"_blank\">Click to View<\/a><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Easter this year was truly momentous for me.
