Zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87360319104?pwd=y7IvzOcTk6FOAAfM90Srada7qIymPx.1
Decode your soul’s journey, karmic patterns, and higher path of evolution—all through the intuitive magic of numbers. Whether you’re navigating relationships, timing, career paths, or life purpose, Ascension Numerology offers surprisingly accurate insight that’s simple, fun, and often profoundly validating.
You don’t need to love numbers or be good at math—this is soul work, not schoolwork.We’ll explore soul contracts, vibrational shifts, and life lessons through an accessible, discussion-style group format, where you’ll bust common myths, exchange insights, and deepen your spiritual journey in community.
Prefer to listen quietly or explore on your own terms? You’re welcome to engage as much or as little as you like—many find deep clarity simply by working with their own chart.
Rooted in ancient wisdom from Egypt, Greece, and India, and practiced by great minds like Pythagoras and Plato, numerology is a time-tested tool for clarity, decision-making, personal growth, and trust in divine timing.
This transformative monthly gathering is based on Michael Hersey’s book, Ascension. Numerology. First-timers receive guidance in calculating their chart using their full name at birth and date of birth, unlocking the energetic blueprint your soul was born with.
Books are available to borrow during class or purchase at SacredWaters or Amazon.
Michael Hersey also offers personal readings and annual sessions at Sacred Watersto support this ongoing study.
Come curious. Leave empowered.
No fee.
Donations welcome.
