Greetings!  

  

Everyone's life is a Quest, an Adventure, a Journey to discover and experience what life has to offer and what we have to offer life.

  

The Summer Season is upon us and it calls to us to get out and explore again!  Answering the call to adventure can be as simple as going into your own backyard.  It can be a day trip, alone in the wilderness, or a two week journey to far off lands.

  

Our emails this summer will focus in on tools to help you embrace the Spiritual and Personal Growth you are seeking, wherever your journeys take you.

  

We invite you to scroll through the email, or link here to a specific article that is calling to you:

• Preparing for Sacred Travel, Your Travel Toolkit
• A Time of No Time, understanding our new relationship with time and the Mayan Calendar
• Journey to Guatemala, to deepen and enrich our work with the energies of the Sacred Mayan Calendar
• Ascension 2012, Free Telecall 
• In the Footsteps of the Magdalene, Radio program 
• The Nature Doctor, products for your health and well-being

  

Enjoy your Summer!

Finbarr Ross and Ixchel Tucker 

  

  

  

 

As soon as you decide or commit to a Sacred Journey your adventure has already begun.  Your soul is saying "YES" and you are on your way!

 

There are steps along the way, each one is an important part of the journey.  

 

In Mary DeJong's book, Waymarker's, about sacred pilgrimage she outlines these steps, with tools for working with the personal growth and alignment that comes with each step. The steps are:

• The Longing:  At this step you start to feel that there is something missing in your life, more to this world for you to explore.
• The Calling:  You feel the call to leave home, to pack your bags. Where is it you are feeling called to go?  What and where is calling to you?  How do you connect with the sacred places?
• The Departure/Separation:  It's time to leave behind the comforts of home and the safety of your every day life.  Now is the time to step off and into the unknown.  You do so with the sense and knowing that you will return changed and life will not be the same.
• The Pilgrim's Way, Crossing The Threshold:  Traveling as a pilgrim is different than normal travel.  You see each step along the way as a message, an opportunity, an experience to embrace and grow.  This is when we move through our resistance and go through a mythical dooorway.
• The Labyrinth, Transformation: The labyrinth is the symbol of going into the center, into the chaos and the unknown, and returning back to the world changed.  As with the doorway, we can travel on a physical labyrinth or through the energies of a mythical maze.  We can hold ourselves in this place of the unknown and be with the mystery until we are ready to emerge transformed.
• Arrival:  At this point in the journey the pieces fit together and we have a sense of wholeness and completion.  The experience is integrating within us and we know ourselves anew.
• Reincorporation, Bringing Back the Boon:  This can be one of the most difficult pieces for travelers.  It is bringing back all the wonder, the joy, and the transformation of our experience into our daily lives.

Understanding these steps and the process you are going through can help you get the most of the experience.  When you realize the challenges you face are a "normal" and often necessary piece of the transformation you can find greater strength to meet your challenges and your personal demons and keep moving forward.

 

We encourage all our fellow travelers to answer the call, to find your way to bring Sacred Travel and Sacred Adventures into your life and to travel as a Pilgrim in everything you do.  Your life will be forever transformed!

This book has a special focus on the Sacred Isle of Iona, yet the tools for spiritual transformation and travel can apply to anywhere you choose to go. 

 

 

The end of times ... as the Mayan Calendar is completing ... we come to a time where there is no time.  Our relationship with time has changed.  It is no longer the linear time we have become so accustomed to.  Time as a construct of the mind no longer exists.

 

Truly it never did.  Our idea of time was an illusion that was created for our convenience.  It helped us to see the world as cause and effect.  It helped us to move along from point A to point B.  And it helped us work in cycles of growth and evolution.

 

What if none of that was ever true?  What if we could truly "be" with what is, right now and always?

Have you ever wondered why so many people are drawn to Mary Magdalene right now? 

 

Did you know she was a mystic that meditated in a cave for 30 years? 

 

Is it possible she has a message for awakening people in the 21st century? 

 

Join Misa Hopkins, best-selling author and spiritual director of the New Dream Foundation, as she talks about a new video series that visits the sacred site of France where the great mystic, Mary Magdalene, lived, meditated, healed and taught.
