An Invitation for ALL Nine Gates Mystery School Village (Initiates, staff and their families)
“Rarely can individuals come together in non-local space and share so deeply. The work with our Mandala art, and the profound willingness of everyone to share with such heart-felt transparency, offered an experience sure to continue working within the interior landscape of us all”. ~ Deborah Jones, Director of Nine Gates Mystery School
Be prepared to embark on a unique, and intimate 12-week exploration of mandala heART... not as a "sit down" art class, but as an energizing, interactive process of sound healing, chants, meditation, Sufi and Qigong practices, and dance! Be prepared to surprise yourself with your own evocative process and the mandalas you will create... without efforting.
Each two-week period focuses on individual investigation, integration and artistic expression of one vow as an energetic template. In addition you will manifest a mandala for burning (releasing) and one integrative mandala for all three vows. You will receive handouts for each vow, which include questions to support your daily investigation and heART, inspirational exercises and quotes, plus meditations and practices (co-created by Julia and Deborah).
You are invited to co-create a profoundly deepening experience with your fellow alumni. You will jump into an interior world where sacred Mandala art can serve as a doorway and a tool for integrating our Mystery School vows into your daily life and soul practices.
Join us for a unique and intimate opportunity to enliven and align our relationship with the Light in the core of our cells and with the Infinite Light of our Sacred Universe ...
Perceive and reveal the Light inherent in all of Life!
The beauty of your heART will be reflected back to you by the group and on paper.
"When we're in that space, where we're so connected with our soul senses and we've let our mind go to no-thing-ness that's the state of bliss where the creative magic happens." ~ Lisa Winston, Participant, Staff,"Keeper of the Temple"
What did other Nine Gates Graduates have to share about their experience?
"Participating in Julia's teleseminar series was a deep, profound and enriched experience. In this supportive circle of healing sisters, I found a new way for me to explore the meaning of the vows we took during Nine Gates. The process surprised me; transforming vows from my heart, through my hands into the paper, observing as the mandalas take form before my eyes. I am grateful for this unbelievably transformative journey." ~ Kim Fisch, Los Angeles

My journey with the integrative vows mandala experience has been a challenging and joyful opening into knowing myself. I have been truly surprised at the level of self-discovery both the personal artwork and the group process have revealed through me and to me.This practice is the perfect way to call for a deepening of self and strengthening of relationship with the heart relationships begun at Mystery School.”

“It has been three years since our Mandala classes but I still remember the feeling of connection and support from our group. And intimacy. It created an atmosphere where the drawing came so easily and joyfully. As I'm writing this I can feel a warmth in my heart from just thinking about it.” ~ Michell Rathay, Mass © 2011

"I have loved this process, the learning, the sharing...and could easily go on and on deeper and deeper. So thank you for your guidance and your love, and to ALL for our shared bravery and vulnerability on this journey. It was always profound".
~ Lisa Winston, CO © 2010 |
"Julia encourages a sense of ease allowing the student to relax and feel free to express in his or her own unique way without feeling self-conscious..."
