PRIESTESS OF THE SACRED FLAME
Scribed by Ariel
Real treasure cannot be lost or found
The end of each quest
Returns us to the place we never left
Though, through our journey
The soul is polished
Removing the layers of encrustation
Around the pearl of consciousness
Naturally revealing the patina of beauty
That shines forth from within.
Fire releases the true form of the spirit encased
Art by Gloria Joy
Burning through power twisted, the clatter of self doubt,
mind’s noisy droning
Shakti Priestess of the Sacred Flame
Bearing the Seal of Solomon on your crown,
With the heat of your passion
Stir the coals of the Eternal Flame
As is your true nature,
Tend the vestibule of the triple flame
Of Transmutation
Whose enormous alchemical power is released
Only when the scent of the opened heart flower emanates
Purity of intent
Trust the ecstatic union of crown and radiant seed
Golden starburst
Of self realized awareness,
Golden Phoenix
Rising from the ashes of seeking
Naturally revealing the gateway to the ancient voices
Held in the rock, in the flames, in the bones, in the stars.
With the Mother,
Be the guardian of saplings, sucklings, sweetness.
Stop.
Center in stillness.
Listen to the whisperings of wisdom
Within the song of the willow tree,
Grounded grace.
With no center fulcrum
There is no clear aligned axis upon which trees
 or stars or ourselves can offer the cosmic dance
So with a fluid, powerful spine
Carry us into the temple of Ecstasy
Ferry us across the River Styx,
Leaving behind even the marbled columns of the Oracle
To find its Source
Thus fulfilling our real craving for the Light…
Lovingly scribed through Ariel
I offer this freely, as it was offered from the Divine to me, so PLEASE “COPY IT RIGHT” with crediting.
Dear Beloved ~
I am offering members a zoom call for "Post Transmission Reflections" which will be an opportunity for us to connect and share around the theme in the full moon transmission. This is an open forum for members to share our reflections, our wisdom, our art, poetry, our inquiries.. ..whatever your response is to the inquiry in the Transmission for that moon. We are shaping this new offering ourselves, so we will see what the collective of who is inspired to come participate, wants to bring into form and feel supported by in our spiritual journeys. 

We invite you to join this post transmission circle and become a member of our community at the Sanctuary. This is a community of diverse beings woven together in service to the One Heart. Together we are remembering and reemerging the Sacred Feminine to be seen and powerfully experienced in the world!

POST TRANSMISSION REFLECTION CIRCLE
Guiding Principles & Guidelines
for Preparation and Participation in
Sanctuary of the Open Heart Circles
A STRONG REQUEST from Ariel to watch these important GUIDELINES for all Sanctuary circles!!
'JOIN THE VOYAGE TO TEMPLE ASTRAEA.. FOCUSING OUR UNIFIED POWER AS PRIEST/ESSES PRACTICING THE ART OF RE-VISIONING-ALCHEMY!
NEXT CIRCLE WILL BE ON NOVEMBER 13TH AT 4PM PST
Re-Visioning-Alchemy Circle

"May thine eye be single.”
Dear Beloveds...

For me, the most potent aspect of Empty Presence is the alchemical transmutation that becomes possible as we hold that field together. We are inspired to offer a moonly call expressly to focus our attention on collective transmutation through alchemical re-visioning, as we are trained to do in etheric Priest/ess temples. That is, with our unified attention in Emptiness, to re-script and re-vision what appearances on the screen of life are most requiring transformation at the time, while also amplifying and giving thanks for that which IS changing and working toward life sustaining choices. We have the power to work WITH Divine intention to change the constructs we have chosen to accept and call "reality". Whether you call that process the hundredth monkey theory postulated by Rupert Sheldrake as morphogenetic field theory or the formula for shifting underlying reality constructs postulated by Gregg Braden in the Divine Matrix of the square root of one percent of the human population, it is the same operant principle. The summation of which can be simply stated:

WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE to the outcome of the "reality movie" in which we participate!

Do you hear the call to be a part of a Re-visioning-Alchemy circle to make a shift in the reality constructs of this planet? If so, please join us for our Voyage to the Temple of Astraea on the etheric to remember and be re-trained in this advanced Priestess meditation art!


Let us gather in our unified power as Priest/esses to offer the ancient art of Re-visioning-Alchemy for the Purpose of being the Divine Shuttle Reweaving the collective Dream!

Join us for our Voyage to the etheric Priest/ess Temple of Astraea (that we journeyed to at Winter Solstice) to dimensionally gather for this sacred intention.

Sunday, November 16, 2022 at 4:00PM PST

We know we have the power to shift
the collective constructs of this planet
through our unified intention in Love!

Let us use our singular vision for the potent purpose
of greatly needed alchemical transmutation!
( Through Priest/esses mythically spinning straw into alchemical gold!)
In Oneness...Ariel

LIZ CHILDS KELLY,
AND HER NEW BOOK "HOME TO HER"
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2022 AT NOON PST
Beloved community,

Liz Childs Kelly (also known by her temple name “Nahla”) is the caretaker of the Sanctuary of the Open Heart’s social media presence on Facebook and Instagram. She is also the author of the new book, Home to Her: Walking the Transformative Path of the Sacred Feminine. 

This book takes us on a journey, personal and collective, through time and place, to remember and reconnect with the lost and stolen wisdom of the Sacred Feminine, and includes:

  • Stories and evidence demonstrating the power and presence of the ancient Sacred Feminine from every corner of the globe,
  • Insights into what Her wisdom represents, how it differs from other spiritual traditions and what it has to offer us today,
  • How to reconnect with the Sacred Feminine as a real, tangible force for good in your own life.

Nahla is also the host of the Home to Her podcast, where, for the last 2.5 years, she has sought to amplify the voices of mystics, authors, artists, priestesses and activists, each of whom is carrying and expressing Sacred Feminine wisdom in their lives. 
 
On this call, we will explore some of the research Nahla conducted into the history and traditions of the Sacred Feminine and why she feels so strongly that we all should know our collective sacred herstory; the challenges to engaging responsibly with stories and histories from other traditions not our own and the importance of understanding the intersection of capitalism, colonialism and feminism when doing this kind of excavation work; navigating the publishing process using heart wisdom; and some of the greatest insights she’s learned from the many guests who have joined her on the podcast.

Nahla’s offerings can be explored on her website here:

"NON-LINEARI-TEA"
DECEMBER 7TH, 2022 AT 12PM PST
“Alice in Wonderland” is a perfect role model of what non-linear reality actually is.
‘Non-linear means that something does not progress or develop smoothly from one stage to the next in a logical way. Instead, it makes sudden changes, or seems to develop in different directions at the same time.’ That perfectly describes the evolutionary curve we are entering as a species on Earth. In a negative frame, that would be called chaos, dissolution of structures, climate change; however, in a more uplifting way of holding it, it would be framed as a huge WAKE UP CALL, forcing us to flow with sudden change and to grow rapidly, moving out of the limiting linear 3rd dimensional way of looking at reality, and into a more expansive, non-linear fifth dimensional view. We intend to look consciously at that “dimensional collision” we are experiencing right now. Please come prepared to share what strategies you are using to deal with the unpredictability and chaotic outpicturing of our current situation that will allow us to shift dimensional gameboards with more grace! If you want to wear an Alice in Wonderland smile or hat or tea mug, please wear or bring to circle.

Join us on Wednesday, December 7th, 2022 at Noon Pacific!
The Dream Weaver Circle
December 2nd, 2022 at 12PM PST
Do you dream vividly and garner guidance and support from your dreams? If so, consider joining Priest/ess’ from around the world in the Dream Weaver Circle to share and connect around dreams. We will hold a zoom call once a moon to look at and garner the wisdom from our personal and collective dreams. We will also set the patterning to connect etherically in Dream Temples. Our next Dream Weaver circle will be Friday, December 2nd, 2022 at 12pm Pacific.
 
Throughout all times, Priest/ess' have been sensitive receptors for the Greater Divine Dream, dreaming itself through us. They have functioned as oracles seeing into the non-linear matrix of time and space, as sensitive instruments aware of a broader spectrum of quantum possibilities manifesting. They have been messengers for the archetypal realms who interface and seed divine, creative possibilities through the non-linear nature of dreams. For the collective community, oftentimes they were harbingers of events providing an immediate opportunity to act on the messages delivered from higher realms. It is for all these reasons, that we gather as a Dream Weaver Circle. If, as an aspect of your Priest/esshood, you perceive of yourself as a conscious Dreamer in these reflections, then join us in service, by submitting dreams that have this mythic, collective, archetypal and transpersonal quality. 
 
 This Dream Weaver's circle focuses on dreams that are archetypal and mytho-poetic in nature. It is the intention of this offering to look for the larger patterns in the collective Dreamfield that are emerging through the lens of the conscious dreaming of the priest/esses in the circle. As well, themes can be suggested for our conscious dreaming of reality, that can and do affect the collective Dreamfield matrix.
   It is not the intention of this circle to analyze or necessarily even to respond to the dreams, as each recipient will garner his/her own wisdom, inspiration and gifts from sharing a given dream. However, if you choose to respond by lucidly entering the Dreamtime to share and commune telepathically, that is certainly being encouraged!
Please enjoy going to have a look at the new Dream Weaver offering on the Sanctuary website, where you can post dreams, make comments and find the schedule for our once a moon zoom call Dream Weaver circles! Click HERE!

Please join us for Drink from Her Well, a joyful guided exploration to Her Holy Waters.
Offered Wednesdays near the new moon every month, from 12-1 p.m. Pacific
Wednesday, November 30th, 2022 at Noon Pacific

A Personal Invitation from Ariel
Dear Ones...
Drink from Her Well is a direct demonstration and training for how to work with collective alchemy! It means so much for the collective awakening, that we hold these alchemical circles, both physically and etherically, beyond ego mind and in Divine Love's name. It is so critical now, that the Divine Feminine rise in alignment and integrity with the most expanded viewpoint of what is being asked of us at this intense time of planetary transformation. 
Please join us for the next Drink from Her Well!
In Her Name,
ariel

SURFING MYSTIC CONSCIOUSNESS: BOOKS AS SACRAMENT!!
Join us for Books as Sacrament Nov 20 at 4PM PST~ Ishmael by Daniel Quinn AND Change the Story, Change the Future! By David Korte
Gather 'Round the Fires of Consciousness to Explore and Share Awareness

Dear Ones,

JOIN US FOR a look at these two books that expose the old story that is destroying the planet and offering new awareness and tools to create the new Meta-story of our Times!

Together these two books give us an incisive vision of how to WAKE UP and see where we are still being held captive to an old story that has been unconsciously moving us toward extinction. If we are to have a future as humanity, it is TIME TO CHANGE THAT STORY! These two books give us a means for seeing both the prison bars that keep us captive to that old story and how to move into a more life affirming story.
    Ishmael is a very compelling “thriller” novel that through a mysterious exchange between two beings who are brought together from an add that says: “Teacher seeks pupil. Must have an earnest desire to save the world. Apply in person.” a whole revelation about how we came to be in the chaotic mess we are in now and the story that got us here is revealed. Quite simply, IT IS BRILLIANT AND TIMELY. The details of the old story will be looked at deeply so we can become aware of how to move out of that story. Just for a teaser here is one of the central precepts of the old myth: that the world was made FOR man and man was made and had a destiny to rule it. In that myth we don’t belong to the Earth, the Earth belongs to us.. to do anything we please with! And so in this story we had to conquer nature. You can easily see where that myth is still strongly operating. He goes on to reveal what the natural law of nature is that if we don’t live in accord with, we will quite simply become extinct. Stay tuned. That is what we will talk about in our call!!
 David Kortens book Change the Story Change the Future is a more linear approach to the same questions entertained in story form in Ishmael, giving simple, clear insight as to the principles and values that form the infrastructure that would support the new story emerging. It is Korten’s point of view that “we cannot act coherently as a society without a shared framing story. It defines our shared values and priorities, the questions we ask and options we consider. For this reason, no matter how discredited an established story may be, we cling to it in our public discourse until it is replaced by a more compelling story!! Corporate interests repeat and reaffirm the Money Markets story at every opportunity. 'Time is money.' They use it as a frame for every news report and political debate. They teach it in our schools. And so long as we keep believing it, it defines our future. In truth, every assertion of this Money Markets story is false and grossly misleading. The story is based on bad ethics, bad science and bad economics. We now see the environmental devastation, economic desperation, social alienation and the political corruption this fatally flawed story leaves everywhere in its path..
    The frame on the New Story is simple: Sacred Life. Living Earth, moving from "Time is money" to "Time is Life."(Or as Jose Arguelles says: “Time is Art!”) Those who live in service to life, must organize around the articulation and sharing of a compelling, unifying counter story. We must make the articulation of a Sacred Life and Living Earth story a focal point in all arenas of our lives!” Join us for an exciting look at how to do just that!!
 
Ps: To prepare for the Books as Sacrament call, both books can be read in short order. Ishmael you will not want to put down! I will also send out a synthesis of the two books about two weeks before the call!!
