This Pathway is for You If…

You are an explorer!  You are adventuresome and want to experience a wide range of contexts and cultures. You enjoy travel because of the breadth and depth of experiences you can have.  You learn about yourself by watching how you interact with others in each of these contexts.  From these experiences, you create internal and external tools and beliefs, and you’re willing to adapt yourself based on what you learn.  Your curiosity is a well-developed muscle and guides you to your next exploration.  Your life is your art form; you have probably created a very unique lifestyle so that you can sustain your unquenchable thirst for the unknown.

Experiential Pathway Spiritual Practices

Inner Travel and Explorations – Guided meditations

In addition to the classes in the starter kit, Reverend Octavia offers the following guided meditations for inner explorations:

  • Jumpstart your Chakras & Heal your Energy System – We are made of energy, according to the quantum physicists, so healing our energy field results in an improved life!  Learn about the ancient system of 7 energy centers, or chakras, that  correspond to our emotional/physical/mental/spiritual wellbeing.  By using spiritual tools to heal our chakras, we are more effective in our lives.
  • Staying Clean, Integrated and Protected – Have you done a lot of healing work but the world doesn’t seem to respond any differently?  In this class you’ll learn how to keep your aura in synch with your healing work so the world brings you people and situations aligned with your latest evolved self.
  • Invoke your Highest Spirit Guides to light up your Pathway to the Divine – Do you wish you had more insight, inspiration, intuition or guidance to help you make good choices and faster progress through life?  These are the great gifts that our spirit guides can bring to our lives once we establish contact. Establish communications with your highest guides, and start interpreting their messages for you.

Intentional Gatherings & Transformational Festivals

Western youth culture is pushing the envelope of world culture by creating a hybrid of music, art and large-scale ritual to envision a new society with greater harmony and balance.  Many music festivals offer workshops on personal development, cutting-edge technologies and community living, to build skills for our new society.  Jeet-Kei Leung of British Colombia, Canada gave a TED talk on this movement and is producing a documentary webseries.

Here is a sampler of intentional gatherings where you can participate in creating our new society:

Indigenous Sweatlodge Ceremony

The Native American tradition of sweat lodge (inipi) ceremonies is a powerful spiritual experience. The lodge represents the womb of Mother Earth, and the red-hot rocks represent the divine masculine.   Each round of the sweat has a different prayer, with a cooling-off period in between each round.  Prayers are made in several ways: singing, burning sacred herbs, and sometimes passing a pipe.  The intense physical experience purifies your heart, mind, body and soul, and the rocks receive your prayers while the smoke from burned herbs carries your prayers to Creator.

If you want to conduct traditional Native American sweat lodge ceremonies, find an elder to guide you in the 4-year study of the correct ways.

There is not a national register of local sweat lodges, but here is a Google search results page that could be helpful to locate a lodge near you:

Indigenous Plant Medicine Ceremony

Indigenous tribes all over the world use sacred plants in ceremony, and some of the ceremonies are constructed around the use of psychoactive plants, called entheogens.  These sacred plants are teachers, and taking them into your body reveals your path and helps you learn, grow and heal.  In recent years, these ceremonies have become popular with Westerners — a quick Google search shows many South American retreat centers are offering ayahuasca ceremonies:

Vision for the Temple– Experiential Pathway upcoming offerings

Make sure you are on the Temple email list to find out when these products become available!

  • Shamanic Journeys – Shamanic journeys are loosely guided meditations where you imagine traveling through different realms and worlds as though you participating in a story.  Different journeys serve different types of problem-solving purposes.  During the journey, your spirit helpers assist you in receiving healing, gifts, tools, and answers that translate back into normal life.
  • Soul Retrieval Journeys – Soul Retrieval journeys help you reclaim parts of your soul that separated due to trauma, either in this lifetime or past lifetimes.  Once these parts of you are found and re-integrated, you regain lost wisdom, courage, and energy.
