Sebastopol – Ingrid Auer Blogs

The distance between Los Angeles and San Francisco can be covered in a little more than an hour by plane; by car it takes at least 8-9 hours (depending on traffic), maybe even longer. In order to get to Sebastopol, which is situated north of San Francisco, one has to add even one or two more hours of driving time.

So, what to do? Go by plane or go by car?

Our trunk brims with Angel Essences, Symbol Cards and books, and there is also plenty of personal luggage. Transport all of that by plane? Impossible! This is why we decided to cover the distance with a rental car.

The best thing about it is that for the most part the route runs alongside the Pacific, which is why Route No. 1, as it is called, is by no means an inside tip amongst travellers anymore. Thus, we as well enjoyed the marvellous view over the sea – but we still collapsed into our beds exhausted in the evening.

The name Sebastopol sounded Russian to me, and thus I was pretty astonished that the town is actually situated in Northern California. This small town, which became popular as the “world capital” of the “Gravensteiner” apple variety and is situated not far from a picturesque Pacific coast, the ancient Redwood forests (the trees are about 1400 years old) as well as the famous wine regions Sonoma and Napa, is the home town of my friend Diane Marie Fry. I met her at the KRYON conference in Mt. Shasta last year, and we have been in close contact ever since.

It was a great wish of Diane’s that I visit her and hold workshops for her and her friends and acquaintances. She herself has acquired great knowledge about the Angel and Master Essences and Symbols in a very short time and made practical use of it. In my mind, she and her friends are pioneering women, who have devoted themselves to alternative lifestyles and educational models for decades, and therefore it comes as no surprise that they are also very open-minded about “my” Spiritual Education.

On two evenings, I got to familiarise them with my work, and I was particulary pleased about the fact that they immediatley got the gist of it. In a very familiar atmosphere, we have laid the foundation of an expandable cooperation.
