With this launch, I am in completion with the last 15 years of my work. The Companion Guide takes readers through the exercises of mastery of the first three levels of consciousness (our journey through healing our own lower astral mental field) with a group of 4 fictitious people. I have also completed the writing of 2 additional levels of consciousness that move the group into the upper astral of the mental field. Including these in the Companion Guide would have made it unaffordable and, perhaps, daunting. They will, eventually, become part of the next series of books and cds to support our journey into the heart. In the meantime, they will be used for advanced training in my circles, as needed.

We are beginning to gather our group for the Evolution of the Heart retreat in Marin County at the Green Gulch Farm (San Francisco Zen Center) in September. You will find a bit more information about it at the bottom of the trainings page. This retreat will open a whole new area of work for me so that is very exciting. I will have great help from friends, Neddy Thompson, Kathleen Heller and Molly Hansen. Hope you can join us. Workshops this year in the USA are limited to Mt. Shasta in September and Massachusetts in August.

I am still reading a lot of American history in preparation for future fiction books, but will be begin writing The Priestess and the Magus in November. My next learning curve is the re-creation of this website over the summer using an new program. Part of the website will be an organized section of articles. The article page on this website is locked so that I cannot add to it or change it. I have been writing many articles of late and want to share them with you.

We are off on another Templar Trip at the end of May. Just putting it together has brought back all the joy of the last trip. I have a growing number of Australian's lobbying for a Peru trip so we will see about that in 2010. Our next trip is to Italy and Greece in 2009 and the list of my seasoned travelers intending is growing. I have plenty of research to do on this one over the summer too.

Now that the books and CDs are completed and published for the work of self-mastery, I am having humorous thoughts about starting a mystery school called the "It's No Mystery Mystery School" - kind of the Patch Adams of spirituality. Seriously, as the work in New Zealand takes off, I really do see that there will be a certificate program for those who have completed my four-part training. This new program will provide advanced support in a 4-day retreat setting.

I am looking forward to summer, the garden, and, very soon, the Templar Trip. May your summer, or winter, be one of growth and joy.

Much love and peace your way
Jessie
