Circle Gathering Facilitated by Gloria Amendola and Avis Baum

Saturday, October 25, 2008
Norwalk, Connecticut
10:00 – 4:00 p.m.

Do you ever wonder about Queen Hatshepsut of Ancient Egypt? What about the mysterious Pharoah Akhenaten? Was he really the Biblical Moses in disguise? What ever happened to the beautiful and powerful Queen Nefertiti? And what really happened to King Tutankhamun?

What does the Opening of the Mouth Ritual have to do with this timeline? And how were the Egyptian Gods Thoth, Isis, Ptah, Osiris, Sekmet, Horus and Anubis assisting this lineage of the light codes?

What exactly did the 18th Dynasty players harness that made them so mysterious and so enduring?

In this day long experiential workshop, we will use the oils of antiquity to bring us deep into our cranial bones, as we connect to fragments of our soul memories we have longed to understand. We will use the elements of fire and water to move us, within and without, to the Temple of Remembering - to harness the sacred geometries of light in play during this time of Mayan magic, era-2012.

Whether you feel connected to a particular figure from this timeline or have an unexplained connection to the mysteries of ancient Egypt, we invite you to join us on this day of interdimensional journeys with the Hathors, as we connect to the cosmic hum of their Temple in Dendera.

In this gathering, we will walk with Magdalene and see where she leads us in a day of deep journeys and conscious connections. Who was the mysterious Magdalene? A wife? A mother? A priestess of Isis? A healer? A teacher? A woman on a mission?

We will use sound and breath and drum, and lay the groundwork for dreaming other possibilities of Mary Magdalene into our awareness. And in that process, we will ask the goddess to amplify our group energy so we can infuse healing into Mother Earth.

We will explore the lineage of the light codes, beginning with Isis. To understand Isis is to understand Magdalene. We will experience an anointing with spikenard and frankincense, and travel to the Temple of Hathor at Dendera, for guidance from these Beings of Light.

It is my belief that Magdalene enacted these rites in her training in the Egyptian temples.

While working with the rhythmic Energy of Self through sound and breath, we will invoke the sacred symbols of these lineages and ask for Isis and Magdalene – and all the ancient lineages of women – to open us to our innate feminine powers.

If time is quantum, as science is now suggesting, then the past, present, and future are playing out all at once. So what does this mean in our daily life, and how does it connect to 2012?

On this evening of deep adventure, we will create a field of sacred space and energy, and venture back in time to seek an answer to this question:

What do I need to know about myself from past lives before going forward at this time?

Once our journey sheds light on this question, through a process of deep relaxation, we will then venture forward to the benchmark time of 2012.

We will call in the energies of ArchAngel Michael and the angelic realm to guide and protect us as we move through the timelines – the realms of quantum reality – space time – and into the future world of 2012. What will we see? And how can this help us now at this time? 

Facilitated by Gloria Amendola and Madelyn Hayes.

The energy of Mary Magdalene is infusing our world at this time. Why now?
Why has The Da Vinci Code sold over 40 million copies to date? What chord is it striking within us?
And how does this connect to Mary Magdalene, and our spiritual legacy?

Participants will:

• Examine a brief history of Mary Magdalene, and place her in the context of the High Priestess. We will discuss anointing, vision, and the ascension process, as we prepare ourselves to journey into an ancient story in first century Palestine.
• Journey through the 7 major Chakras as part of raising our inner vibration, gathering our animal guardians and angels to accompany us on this day of big journeys and deep adventures.
• Search cellular memories encoded in our individual DNA.
• Then the Magdalene – as goddess and avatar – will awaken in us answers to why we chose to be here at this time. What gift has been bestowed upon us? And how are we to use that gift in this world?

Come learn some history on some interesting dreamers and learn practical ways to enter into the dreamtime.

Learn how to connect with God/Goddess/Our Higher Selves and bring back intuitive messages concerning our health and well-being, messages for others, and learn to remember the instruction that comes from the higher planes while we’re sleeping.

Share in a group journey in class that gives us the experience of direct contact with the mystic in each of us.

In this workshop, we will find out how to connect with Our Higher Selves and bring back intuitive messages concerning our health and well-being, and communications from the other side – whether from angels and guides, deceased family members, or beloved pets.

We will learn how to distinguish teaching that comes from this magical place called the dreamtime, and apply it to our everyday lives. We will review practical instructions for dream recall, and explore ways to prepare ourselves for this mystical experience. And we will take a meditative journey together to practice the insights we have gathered on this night.

Come join us for an in-depth exploration of who this mystical first century woman may have been, in light of new interpretation and understanding.

• What are contemporary authors writing about Mary Magdalene?
• What were her 7 demons?
• Was she the feminine counterpart of Jesus? His intimate companion?
• Did she practice Egyptian mysteries?
• Why did the church make her into a prostitute?
• What was the grail heresy?
• Was she a master anointer? A healer? A prophet in her own right?

The first hour of this innovative workshop will include discussion of new sources of information, as well as an overview of the concept of Sophia (Holy Spirit), the story of the Egyptian immortals Isis and Osiris, Mary’s connection to esoteric wisdom, and an examination of her abilities as a teacher, healer, light worker, and visionary.

In the second hour, there will be a Question & Answer session and group discussion of the re-emergence of the energy of the Sacred Feminine, esp. through the embodiment of Mary Magdalene. We will talk about current events, initiatives, and websites devoted to this material.

In the third hour, we will use a high-frequency essential oil as our own anointing to create a group journey through meditation. As the music and the aroma of the oil fill the air, we will become our own seers and connect to our psychic, creative, and healing energy.

Come join us for a follow up to our first class on who this mystical first century woman may have been, in light of new interpretation and understanding.

• What does art history reveal to us about Mary Magdalene?
• What symbols surround her?
• What was Leonardo DaVinci really painting?
• How did Mary and Jesus heal people during their time here?
• Why is her vision at the empty tomb on Easter morning important?
• Why would Jesus appear to her first?

The first hour of this workshop will include additional sources of information and hand-outs.
We will discuss a working profile of Mary Magdalene – based on my years of research – as a starting point for your own exploration. We will shine light on Mary as teacher of the Way, healer, and master example of forgiveness as we explore her own words in the Arques Gospel.

In the second hour, we will focus on Mary’s vision at the empty tomb on Easter morning, and link her visionary ability to the evolution of consciousness. We will use an anointing oil on our third eye and create a group journey through meditation. As the aromatic oil and music fill the air, we will become our own seers and connect to messages and healing that she brings to us. This will be a deeper journey than the first workshop as we open our third eye vision more fully.

In the third hour, we’ll have some fun with art history, and the images and symbols connected to Mary Magdalene. We’ll finish up with a short script and poem of mine that came from a dream. This poem is full of lore and legends of the grail heresy that developed throughout the centuries.

Join us for this series that begins with a study of Sophia, and then moves into the Isis and Osiris story. Understanding Isis is the key to understanding Magdalene.

We then travel to first century Palestine to the time of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, revisiting who Mary may have been in light of our new understanding.

We move on to the secretive warrior-monks, the Knights Templar. We will explore their cathedrals to Our Lady, and what knowledge was encoded within these great structures. Were they paying homage to the goddess?

We then explore the gypsies and their annual festival at St. Maries de la Mer. Who is the mysterious Saint Sarah, and what of the two Marys?

No study would be complete without reviewing the Cathars, and the incredible fortresses they built on mountaintops. What were they teaching? And why were they so ruthlessly hunted down in the Inquisition?

We will examine the Rennes le Chateau enigma and explore Magdalene’s connection to this strange and haunting village. There are many layers to this village and its sacred geometry, and some of them are shocking!

And finally, we will revisit some fairy tales and recent movies to explore the returning voice of the Sacred Feminine encoded in the tales and see if we can distinguish any similarities between these archetypal stories and the story of Magdalene.

At the end of each class, we will take a shamanic group journey and see what the spirit of Magdalene reveals to us…
