Welcome all to the BIGGEST Kuthumi Fest ever! Ok, so it's only the third one but it has grown so much. Kuthumi and I are always delighted at how people really embrace the playfulness and joy in sharing their creations to be part of this. This year we have a record eleven artists come to play and their creations include channels, music, paintings, drawings, digital art, t-shirts and knitwear. You can feel Kuthumi in them all and each one acknowledges the grand muse as an influence and playmate. I also know he delights and learns as much from each of us as we do of him.
Kuthumi Fest began to mark the anniversary of my first personal connection with Kuthumi in this lifetime on July 15th 2006 in Colorado. Now three years later we have published two books which have made their way to over 30 countries. We have also maintained a website that we created not only to showcase our writing together but that we saw as a support to other artists making their way in the new energy. We have showcased dozens of authors and artists and many others have made connections through our site to expand their creations.
Putting together this years contributions I felt all this energy come home. I felt the excitement of creation that all artists have as they gather the energies to paint, compose, write or knit. I felt the momentary doubt that it may be complete and then the relief and celebration that it was. I felt the trepidation to share it in case there were some faults I may have missed, then the sense that it "just doesn't matter" if there are flaws.
Our creations are perfect and beautiful because as creators we are perfect and beautiful. The joy we give ourselves in allowing us to create these amazing pieces of expression is felt when we share them. This is the beauty of being an artist. The beauty of being a new energy artist is to create with the utmost knowing that there are no limits on how we can do this.
So grab a coffee and some Turkish Delight (Kuthumi's suggestion!) make yourselves comfortable, take a few deep breaths and enjoy feeling the beauty of the creations that are being shared with you. Namaste! Marisa and Kuthumi
Opening Address by Kuthumi through Louise Sarezky
Greetings Dearest Ones, Yes, it is I, Kuthumi lal Singh, once more greeting you at the time of my Celebration. Oh, you are all doing so splendidly well in these times of outlandish change on your planet Earth, and you know, this creation of yours, the introduction of New Expansive Energy to your planet has had very, very far reaching effects all over the universe and well beyond. So you see, dear friends, it is not only Earth that is being affected by your creation but there is a grand "shake up" taking place in all of existence. Please understand that it is You, yes You, who have as a result of your continuous and pure pursuit of your passions, dreams and wishes, and your underlying powerful desire to ascend in this lifetime in this wonderful physical body of yours, that has resulted in this explosion of New Energy upon your planet and beyond. My words to you Dearest ones, for this moment are Trust Your Self. Yes, Trust Your Self. As you connect more and more with the Truth of who You are, with the Divine Self of You, please simply trust that all of this is your creation. Trust that You are a Creator of magnificent, infinite potential and that You will create, if You so choose, all that you can possibly desire. Please allow your Creative Potential to pour forth, and in this moment of ever-expanding energy, which expands out in every direction at once, breathe in all of this unending potential, breathe it into you and breathe your Divine Essence out into all that you do. Begin to blend with your creation, feel the nature of the new Expansive Energy, swim in it, float in it, fly in it and allow it to move into and around you, for it is part of You and it is here to respond to every breath you take. It is indeed your Creation, Dear Ones, and the Universe stands and applauds you in honor of your amazing accomplishments. Trust that You are the One who has made all of this come true. Trust in Your Self and your unlimited ability to create all that you wish for and all that you can imagine, for You, for You are the Master now. In trust and belief in the grandeur of who You truly are, go forward in great joy as the planet goes through its ups and downs, ins and outs, while still struggling in the old, dualistic energy. You are there Now. I, Kuthumi lal Singh, walk beside of each of you always. I thank you for your sweet, funny and enormously creative comments that you are making to me so many times throughout your days and nights, and I so love the conversations that we share. I embrace each one of you and wish you great joy. Namaste
Kay is a new energy composer who we featured in the last newsletter. She has created a few pieces of music with Kuthumi and has graciously allowed her favorite one "Bavarian Boogie" to be downloaded from our site. It is a gorgeous piece of music and is a perfect soundtrack for this years Kuthumi Fest. So I encourage you to take the time to download it and have it playing while you look and read the rest of the creations!
'I met Kuthumi for the first time in 2007 when I found the Crimson Circle on the internet. Last autumn he said to me that I should explore the Taj Mahal...I was a bit amazed why?! I remembered only Princess Diana sitting in front of it. Anyway I started to search internet and found the Taj Mahal very fascinating. I am still in the middle of the process but this painting was the first one inspired by Taj Mahal.' (For those who don't know, Kuthumi built the Taj Mahal during his lifetime as Shah Jahan.)
'Here is the painting for the Kuthumi Fest! It is called "Birdbrain" and a homage to all silly humans.I have been working on this painting since a week already and totally did not think that this would be the piece for the Kuthumi Fest because I had something else in mind. But Kuthumi really wanted this painting. No wonder he was waving around you when he told you about it because that`s what we did here too as we were painting. Waving our arms around with a paintbrush in our hand and just letting it flow. I got to finish it yesterday and as soon as it was done, I really knew that this just had to be the painting for the Kuthumi Fest this year. When I got the title "Birdbrain" whispered in my ear, I just finally understood what this painting was about....our dear silly, silly humans with living through their tiny bird brains! hehe.'
WHAT I SEE: I see a garden like a park, belonging to a castle or a land house with happy people, celebrating their joy, madness, companion and originality. Grown up men are playing like boys and women are laughing, having fun on their behaviour. They all wear fancy clothes, the surrounding is rich and wealthy and they know how to enjoy, how to look good and how to play together, celebrating life, being original each in their own way. Celebrating Kuthumi’s Fest! In a ‘Good Looking’ and ‘You don’t have problems’ way! Love, Nora

The duck was painted by Maija and called "Do Not Feed" Kari then took the painting and added his joke to it.

Thank you to all the amazing creators who took part in this phenomenal Kuthumi Fest. As always I must thank Geoffrey Hoppe and Linda Benyo for their amazing work with the Crimson Circle which re-united me with Kuthumi. Also my thanks to Norma Delaney and Garret Annofsky for supporting my expansion of this connection.
This years Kuthumi Fest also comes at the same time that Tobias will do his last channel through Geoff. Kuthumi and I both thank Tobias for an amazing ten years of teaching and unbounded compassion. We both wish him the utmost joy in his life upon earth and hope that he takes some time to be silly.
