Remember the Art of Inner Alchemy.
Join us for this 13 month journey through the process of turning lead into gold.
Are You Ready to Embody Ecstasy?
Alchemy is a process developed to purify the ego/personality so that one might develop gnosis or direct knowledge of divine truth.
***
Alchemy teaches us through experience to transmute the lead of the lower mind into the gold of the Divine Mind.
***
Learning to embody ecstasy does not mean that you do not experience what appears to be suffering in your life. It means you have a choice about how you interpret what happens to you, and accepting, without exception, the perfection of every unfolding moment.
***
This Great Work done together in a sacred circle, opens you to see through a lens of unconditional love and equanimity, to evolve through ecstasy. The structure is based on the 13 Moon Mystery School founded by Ariel Spilsbury as transcribed in The Alchemy of Ecstasy: An Initiate’s Guide to the Goddess’ Mysteries.
***
Each monthly ceremony brings you out of the mind by calling in you Higher Self through the practices passed down from the ancient mystery school lineage of Avalon.
***
Unlike the way of struggle and suffering that we have bought as the only viable model for spiritual evolution, the Goddess is coming forward to offer us a radical alternative, evolution through Ecstasy & Grace. She is simply saying, “Open your hearts and prepare a place to fully receive me. I have been with you always. Through living in ecstatic delight and communion, in joy, you make a place to literally perceive that I am You.”
***
The gifts of this 13 month journey are freedom, wholeness, unity consciousness and ecstatic embodiment.

What makes the 13 Moon Mystery School Lineage Unique?
scribed by Ariel Spilsbury
Love is the central organizing principle of the 13 Moon Path. This lineage implies being able to walk in the world as a vessel of Empty Presence in open-eyed meditation, as heart-centered awareness.
This lineage recognizes that all of life is Sacred Theater. We are on the stage of life as conscious beings, so why not make it sacred, so that each action that we take sanctifies life in a song, a dance, a prayer, mudra, poem, etc.
In the 13 Moon Lineage we recognize that both personal and collective issues can be lifted and transmuted through the skillful use of a unified alchemical field on the etheric plane, as well as through Earth activism.
By stepping onto this 13 Moon Path, you remember the holographic clues that are encoded for you to step into the fullness of who you are as Soul Essence, therefore there is nothing to be "taught". One thing that genuinely makes this lineage unique, is that there is someone to guide, hold a container and shepherd you, but there is no one "teaching" you something. This work is about direct experience of the Mystery.
Another unique aspect of this work is the embodied perception that we are already whole, that there is nothing that needs to be fixed or changed. We simply witness each other's inner transformation.
What it means to walk this path:
Empty Presence--to sustain a state of Emptiness that allows us to be conduits for Divine emanation to move through us as we live our life.
Honoring silence as the medium that everything moves through--starting and ending with silence.
There is a conscious intentional shift out of mind into heart and belly, bringing awareness and focus to the heart and womb/hara and out of ego mind.
There is a focus on the mythic, archetypal, soul-directed aspects of being.
There is a shift to viewing life itself as an initiation.
There is a focus on remembrance--activating invisible light codes in our being that have been encoded before and some which we are newly imprinting.
There is a strong intention to transmute shadow material through joy, humor and ecstatic process, rather than suffering.
There is a deep surrendering to Love.
This is a path of beauty and sensual awakening,

Testimonials:
“Having just completed 13 moons of in person initiations, I was a bit hesitant to commit to doing the work primarily online. I honestly thought that the experience would be lacking in some ways.
While it was certainly different, there is absolutely no lack in the commitment that both uMa and Greyson bring to this work. The experience through these 13 moons was the most richly transformative of my life to date.
Both uMa and Greyson are fierce initiators as well as loving and compassionate guides. They each go to the distance in guiding us as initiates through this life-changing path.
While in person initiations may not be available to the majority, I would certainly not hesitate in working with uMa and Greyson again whether online or in person. My heart is overflowing with gratitude for having been able to walk with both of them on this path.”

My journey with the 13 Moon Mystery School has been one of the great blessings of my life. It came to me in one of my darkest hours. I was lead by my beloved on the other side to connect with Sarah Uma and after speaking to her I knew that it was my path. The love and support I have received from Sarah Uma, Greyson and from the whole 13 Moon Community has been so precious to me.
Walking this path has taught me to view life as my constant initiation and to learn to sit with how all is happening for me, rather than to me, and to see the gifts and teachings in each moment. I have learned to walk in devotion to the One Heart and my greatest purpose has been made clear to me through my journeys with the 13 Moon Mystery School, which is that of being in service to Love.
I view priestessing as a sacred art and a title to not be taken lightly. The teachings that make up the curriculum are expansive, mystical, esoteric and yet extremely practical. I am honored to call myself an Initiated Priestess in the 13 Moon Mystery School tradition.
I encourage all of you who are drawn to this path of devotion to follow your heart. Sarah Uma and Greyson are two of the most loving, skilled and gifted guides for this journey.

THANK YOU!!! What a ride it has been! the journey into the mother's embrace to deepen with all shades and shapes, textures, colors, frequencies and scents, light and shadow qualities of each face of the divine feminine has me embracing all of me as one expanded truth ringing in my soul.
I am in awe! I have arrived at home.
Thank you UMa and Greyson for being extraordinary temple keepers and holding me with such unconditional love, compassion and your beautiful, beautiful hearts. thank you for your wisdom, laughter and precious vulnerability.
What a tremendous gift and joy to travel beside you in this exquisite 13 moon journey.
Entering the zoom temple each moon with priestess sisters from all over the world is deeply moving, humbling and joyful! to feel the deep connections, the love, devotion and freedom that is available to all of us if we go deeper, look closer, embrace it all.
I feel richer, more anchored on this earthly plane, more connected to my inner wisdom, more trusting of divine guidance, my awareness has expanded and reached new heights. I am forever grateful for the jewels we dug out of the fertile soil and will continue to walk this spiral path beside you.
—Silvia Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha
My journey as an initiate of the 13 Moons Mystery School was transformative and blessed me with a higher level of presence and trust in the great mystery of life. As a scientist and entrepreneur with a big vision and choosing a path less traveled, my fears were many and it felt like I was experiencing a dissolution of self as I journeyed through the archetypes. Dissolution of rigidness, of the need to figure it out, of my forceful drive that kept me operating under pressure and stress. Through this journey, I discovered another power source to plug into and an expansiveness in my ability to accept all of myself as I continue my mission. Sarah Uma and Greyson are incredible guides. The wisdom I discovered in this journey stays with me as I navigate my life in a more empowered and pleasureful way.
I still come to retreats when I can. They are incredible!! I highly recommend this incredible body of work and voyage with Uma & Greyson.
