Avalon –The Ancient Portal

intuition, multi-dimensional accessing, natured centered healing

For women, Avalon is an ancient portal – a stargate - through which she travels to reawaken her own inner mysteries.

You may hear the distant call somewhere in your Outer Reaches but the gateway eludes you.

“The Call rings up the curtain, always, on a mystery of transfiguration – a rite, or moment, of spiritual passage, which when complete, amounts to a dying and a birth. The familiar life has been outgrown; the old concepts, ideals, and emotional patters no longer fit; the time for the passing of a threshold is at hand.”
--Joseph Campbell

Avalon a the symbol of the Divine Feminine, the essence of Women’s Mysteries.

“Somewhere deep in the soul of every Daughter of Avalon the song of ancient memory sparks a longing for the home of our Mothers.”

The mysteries in you guard themselves. In order to unearth these mysteries you have to find the holy path. Avalon – the Holy Island of Healing, the repository of Woman’s Mysteries offers this path for those willing to seek it.

Be with this Holy Island of Healing and let it call forth from you ancient hidden memories of your deepest dreams and desires.

Allow yourself to be lulled into, called to, the Island of Avalon.

The Otherworld.
The Mother Realm.
The home of the Women of Avalon – the Priestesses of the Goddess.
The Holy Island of Healing.
An Island of Women’s Mysteries.
A Sanctuary of Women’s Wisdom.
Island of Apples.
The Reclamation of the Shadow.
The Gift of Sight.

Avalon offers you a multi-dimensional pathway that will lead you through the gateway to your next threshold.

The Classes:

These two classes are not scheduled again at this time, but if you would like sponsor a class, let me know.

Crossing to Avalon – Between the Worlds: Prayer Ribbons, Silver Branches and Raising the Stones

Avalonian mystery school The Silver Branch calls each woman to undertake her own travels on her Quest.

In this Between the Worlds class, as a group each woman will craft her own Silver Branch. As she dives deeply into the archetypal energy of this Sacred Craft she will reawaken in herself her own recognition of the truth of who she is. Remembrance will hang in the branches of her Silver Branch and stir ancient ways that have laid dormant.

Each woman will use her Silver Branch in an eclectic Between the Worlds ritual that will facilitate her connection to the Goddess Rhiannon. Rhiannon can open the passageway for the Seeker to travel between the Worlds and explore the depths of their Shadows where you will work to uncover your inner essence.

During the Between the Worlds Ritual you will work with the energy to raise the 9 Stones of Protection and Safety and you will be introduced to the Divination tool of Scrying. Your task will be to acknowledge the truth of who you are - your authenticity- and to become clear of your present intention. You will find the spark that calls you to your paths of Wisdom.

Crossing to Avalon
Awakening the Council of Elders

The Invitation

At mid-life you receive your Invitation to enter (either knowingly or unknowingly) a series of initiatory rites- gateways so to speak – to something that you may only have vague intimations about.

Something stirs in your heart, in your soul- that causes perturbations in you. Perplexes you. Bothers you to no end. Yet you may attempt to ignore this Invitation.

This Invitation often comes in a less than opportune time of your life. A time in your life when you want to get your bearings but have no known markers to set your course by. You are getting older (we are always getting older), too busy, muddled, confounded, and probably/definitely feel you have no tolerance for gateways and initiations.

But alas, your soul knows no turning back- you must follow your soul path. Your heart dusts itself off and resumes its true purpose and rightful place – as your primary organ/field of knowledge/wisdom and direction. At the urging, prompting, and tending of your heart you open The Invitation. And without even knowing what is in store for you - you step onto your soul path and agree to pass through each gateway.

“And You, What Do You Seek?”

When you reach your forties you take an evolutionary and developmental turn and come to face yourself.

“And You, What Do You Seek?” -- It is yourself you are seeking.

Midlife is the turning point to living a whole new kind of life. Midlife invites you to reclaim your conscious awareness that you are magical and you can live a magical life.

But you don’t just wake up one day and find yourself tripping in the magic fields of life – it takes some conscious expansion to pass through each of the necessary initiation gates.

Mid-life is a time of liminality – an in-between zone where you are passing from one time to another time – but are not quite in either time.

Mid-life is your mythic journey. You are not the Woman You Once Were and have not yet found the Woman You Are Now Becoming. You hear the distant call somewhere in your Outer Reaches but the gateway eludes you.

Is It Your Time to Part the Mists?

At many points after entering mid-life – that would be 40 and beyond – you will find your self in an “in-between zone.” You are not Who You Used To Be. And you are not yet Who You Are Becoming. You are sort of between phases of our life.

Before you enter the mid-life gateway, your life is too full of taking care of society’s needs and building your life. You are not available to step onto the initiatory paths that lead you to the Parting Of The Mists.

Each decade of mid-life has its own special “in-between zone” – the “’point of intersection of the timeless/ with time’ that place of poetic sensibility where glimpses of the eternal and ordinary perception overlap”.

In your 40s evolutionary and development changes begin. You begin to get a glimpse that time may be running out. Your developmental pathway urges you to seek autonomy and personal clarity. You begin to feel the conflict between diving into your own inner resources and your roles and commitments.

In your 50s – having moved through the individualization of your forties - your soul now seeks real living – instead of just getting ready to live. You are primed to stop listening to your “egos” and propelled to discover your soul and live with satisfaction and an appreciation for your inner gifts.

In your 60s – a significant passage for redefining begins again. Deeper spirituality. Deeper intimacy. Greater life force. The quest for stuff slows down and in its place comes extraordinary capacity for vision and the calling forth of dreams. In this decade Elderhood begins – the longest and often most fulfilling period of adult life.

In your 70s – the decade of stewardship, benevolence, and compassion. The consciousness of the tribe. The heart of intelligence. The territory of sages and the wise ones.

In your 80s magic becomes the norm. Entering your 80s grants you the privilege of seeing the world as mystery and magic not as special glimpses but rather as just “matter of fact”

In your 90s –

“At seventy you are but a child, at eighty you are merely a youth, and at ninety if the ancestors invite you into heaven, ask them to wait until you are one hundred … and you consider it.” --The Okinawa Program

In your 100s and beyond – a return to ancient times.

“In ancient times the people lived to be over one hundred years, but they remained active and did not become decrepit in their activities”
--Nei Ching Su Wen (The yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine)

doorway to the Avalonian council of elders Each decade of Mid-Life confronts you with its particular invitation to enter onto the shore of your next becoming. With each decade you receive the Invitation to journey with the Lady of the Lake through your own Inner Waters to lift veil after veil of illusion reclaiming your ability to read the Greater Pattern and bridge the realms of your being.

Midlife is the beginning of your mythic journey deep into yourself to reclaim that wild, natural, divine part of yourself.

A multi-dimensional approach to creative transformational living mid-life that supports you in conjuring, crafting, and creating this new life of your dreams.

In this class, we will use intuition, multi-dimensional accessing, natured centered healing, Wisdom Councils, and Sacred Craft to begin the self-initiation into True Adulthood.

This workshop leads you to reveal to yourself the initiatory stage you are approaching and offers you a multi-dimensional pathway that will lead you through that gateway to your next threshold.

Anchored in a Wisdom Council of Elders, we will access your intuitive and multi-dimensional awareness, plus your dreams and sensory consciousness, to unearth those magical dreams (and steps to those dreams) that are your gifts to not only yourself – but also to the world.

Come join us in the Crossing to Avalon Workshop. During the class, we will be moving through a series of experiences in Releasing the Woman You Once Were. And we will be moving through the Avalon Gateway to Remember and Reconnect with the Woman You Are Now Becoming.

As the dream sharpens and comes into focus, you will be guided in crafting the representative of the power of this dream in a Sacred Power Wand.

It will be a magical day - all crafted to open the portal to yourself and your New Life at Mid-life.
