When we know humanity
to be one thread in the web of all life…

When we merge with and surrender to
the Sacred Alliance of earth, ancestral,
otherworld, and cosmic energies…

When we know that true spiritual manifestation
and transformation only happen though the
divine energies and grace of the Sacred Alliance…

I was having lunch with a friend in Ireland and sharing the evolving nature of our engagement with the sacred landscapes. I was explaining the difference between being with those sacred energies and imposing ourselves on them. By way of example and contrast I mentioned my colleague, Jack, being approached many years ago to join a group of women from Alaska who were headed to Ireland to heal the stone circles. My friend tilted her head and asked, “But isn’t that what you are doing?”

No. It’s absolutely not what we are doing. But I understood her confusion. The difference is perhaps subtle when viewed from the outside but it’s an essential distinction for the sacred sisterhood and the sisters who join me in Ireland. And that fundamental distinction is all about ego.

When part of our collective cultural conditioning comes from religious texts that espouse human dominion over the Earth as both our divine right and purpose, it’s understandable that we might think we can unilaterally wade into those sacred landscapes and effect change. Yet when we encounter the vibrant tapestry of energies in those places, energies that individually and together hold powers far beyond ours, that perspective is stunning in its egoic arrogance. In our sacred sisterhood, we choose to merge with and engage with the Sacred Alliance, offering our energies in support of spiritual manifestation and transformation. This is the distinction. It’s not about power over, it’s about power with.

A Sacred Alliance of Earth energies, Ancestral energies, Cosmic energies, and Otherworld energies.

In this alliance, this tapestry, of sacred wisdom, we are but one thread. But we are a vibrant thread. In joining with and merging with this Sacred Alliance, we surrender our ego but not our agency. We are fully present with our sacred sovereignty to be in service to the highest and best good of divine unfolding. In service to the Light. In service to all beings.

This the evolving nature of our engagement with the Ireland’s sacred landscapes. This is what unfolds in the Sacred Alliance Gatherings and why they are named that. And through this engagement, through this merging, we find a depth and potency of sacred power that we could never have imagined.
