Letters from Reclaim Love 2005

I just wanted to say again how fantastic Saturday the 12th was at Eros and how loved I felt and how much love I felt I had to give everyone else!

I think the One In Love idea is just fabulous and would like to support it in any way you feel would help... so just let me know... to everyone else who didnt come, you should just come to the next one, they make you feel so good, and by the looks of the last one they make everyone feel fabulous too, even the people in buses and taxis just going past our wonderful energy!

with love,

Hi, just wanted to say thanks for organising last Saturday, it was a blessing to meet you all and to dance so freely and spead loving vibrations to all. I had to dash off early so Im missed the circle, but I am sure that was wonderful too.

Please do let me know if you have any future events coming up where I can bring my energy and if you also need any help with anything,

Om shanti

Love to all beings

May all beings be happy

Hello o-i-l crew!

Well done for a great website with great concepts, for great activities that inspire us in the naive way, the simple way, in the real way! it's different from the old fashion history cycle we are stuck in; the cycle of money, society, politics, war, angry revolutions etc... this is the way to step up into evolution of humans on earth, infact back to our sorce, back to our true selves if we all follow our human instincts we end up simply loving everything, feeling each other instead of thinking about winning / losing, crave & greed and all the familiar things of this day and age..

I've seen lots of beautiful creatures around the world and it's great to see this in London, so keep inspiring us londoners! and all of us all over the world!

I've been to the last oil gathering in Piccadily circus, i joined the circle, danced around, got a free oil t-shirt and loved what i saw and felt.

I'd be happy to come to future gatherings and contribute what i can; thoughts/ my music(I am a singer/ songwriter/ performer)

lots of Love

When all seems lost and it all just seems too much to handle, you know! for lil old me to comprehend never mind do something, less make some positive change...

u come across people like Venus and experience and feel days like Reclaim Love...

u realize there could, actually, maybe, beee, another way... ha!... Way-hey!

You might actually be feeling and seeing what you thought might be... an impossibility!

Conscious-ness shifting and can be(ing) consciously shifted….if..can.. actually fucking did!

- maximum capacity Saturday-West-End-Shoppers (just watching-by for a nosey!), tourists and fairies alike, listen to the simple words Venus spoke… choose to all join hands, spread out as far as they can (so that all can fit in no less!), stand together willing to join in, to give, feel, be- love, or at least be open to the possibility of…then maybe we can all conscious and collectively make a shift and bring change and healing through love (light and laughter)…..then dance the day away...

lots and lots of love... light and laughter

There are few things as invigorating as catching a glimpse of the new world in the shell of the old. Amidst a world brutalized by Capitalism & War, people gathered once again to express their alternative consciousness, a longing for universal brotherhood, an ideal which will never be crushed.

Gosh - where do I begin!

OIL has inspired me so much since 12th Feb. snippets and ideas of future possibilities have been popping around my brain and now at last I have time to put them into the outer world.

Just to be reminded about how important and powerful universal love is such a simple thing ( as truth is ) but in these busy and distracting times its so easy to forget priorities.

Thank you Venus for delivering this message so clearly and powerfully GO GIRL GO!

Your web site is so funny and oozing with truths! Contrary to Francesca’s comments on the Indywebsite link about you “harping on about love” I feel there’s not enough emphasis on this subject . Yes we all know “all we need is love “ maybe Francesca doesn’t need to be reminded , but personally I do.

My hope is that what you are doing will increase and grow and you will carry on encouraging people to think , feel , talk , write about, dance and smile for Love , and that one day soon your words be received like water in the desert.. Then there will be more people brave enough to be out there being OIL activists all over the world and the message will be firmly embedded in our collective consciousness how many is it , only 2906? Shouldn’t take too long then!

Anyway here are a couple of ideas I’ve had...

• To set up a web board so people can share their stories about love, we could post different love affirmations, talk about lessons in love, tough love, different definitions of love, relearning to love , actions of love, how to keep love grounded and real, why are we afraid to love, would the politicians loose power if there was a mass epidemic of love, why don’t we study love at school , tips to remember to choose love etc .. it would be pretty easy to set up and would probably take on a life of its own.
• I’ve been thinking of organising a neighbourhood summer picnic in the local park. Either just on a low key scale or maybe applying for funding to provide gourmet living/raw organic vegan food to entice the locals to come out and love in with their neighbours, Now linking this thought up with OIL in mind would you like to do something like you did in Piccadilly also maybe facilitating the playing of some fun games to assist in mingligation , for instance everyone round the picnic cloth had to not know each other from before (except children of course) In my mind I imagining people who have not met before and would normally not be sitting and eating together doing so for the first time and finding out they have things in common (one love!) I visualise the picnic will be a joyful , loving and memorable event , and we could think of a ways to sustain /develop/ build on that so as to keep the momentum flowing . Maybe give reclaim love window stickers / garden flags or build some kind of monuments and reminders for people to see around the whole of the participating area! Or ask residents if they wanted to take it in turns to be a OIL street cryer ‘OY YEA OY YEA remember today we are ONE IN LOVE!’ if we got well organised we could plant the seeds of love all around London , asking local people to volunteer to organise the same thing again in 2006 so we could have simultaneous OIL picnics events on the same day all around London!

I am already supporting you with by telling everyone to go to your web site and will continue to do so in the future cos its so important to constantly remember we are all OIL!

Lots of love and best wishes
