October 19 – Practical Magic – The Path Opens – Stepping again into the vibrant vortex of the Way of Quetzalpetlatl – the flower is you, and the gates of your perception open in the present moment – in a refreshing of both the message and the effort we can bring to supporting our emergence into the realm of magic and miracles. A visit from Quetzalpetlatl – our Chicacoatl – is possible whenever you watch this, because we also exist outside of linear time. Enjoy!

Oct. 25, 2020 – Practical Magic – Artists of Spirit – We create “reality.” From how we’re assembled to how we can move into alignment with the flows of inner, local, global, galactic, cosmic and Vast energies – there is a path from the lock down of egoic objectification of our selves to creative resourceful and responsive flowing energy – our capacity to create magic and miracles.

November 8, 2020 – Practical Magic – Direct Experience of magic – We’re putting our practices into play, and have created a beautiful morphic resonance field of connectivity, supported by Tonanzin and Chicacoatl – and from this we step into awareness, sharing the direct experience of personal, global, and galactic magic – our capacity to bless ourselves and all of life at the same time – creating mutual benefit – the Way of Quetzalpetlatl.

November 16 – Practical Magic – opening the doors of perception – What started out to be a review and revisiting our past work got turned on it’s ear, and became an insistent call from Chicacoatl herself to allow the barriers to our experience of ourselves as light based beings to dissolve — a process of recovering our innate multi-dimensionality, and our capacity for creating beneficial outcome in our lives – and the lives of our family, friends, and communities… this is deep, and experiential. Be ready for things to shift!

December 6th – Practical Magic – Synchronicity and Synergy – Synchronicity and synergy go together like pedaling and steering a bike – you’ve got to do both if you want to get a move on! We look into the solstice, Schumann’s Resonance, comparative religions – and settle on what it is we do to limit ourselves! Find that, and soon you are pedaling, and steering – and we close with a living ceremony that can be a model for practice heading into the solstice of December 2020.

December 12th – Celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe – Tonanzin – On this day, of Her appearance as radiant being, Francis visits the well known story of Her intercession, but also tells the deeper indigenous story – the story of prayers being answered that offers us blessings and miracles even today – when just like in 1531 we live in a world with a plague, and with multiple emergencies facing us. This hour tells the inside story, and there is a blessing prayer at the conclusion that you will enjoy, and will see mysterious benefit come to your life.

December 14th, 2020 – Practical Magic Tune-Up with Francis – We’re heading into the Solstice – and the opportunity for Living Ceremony to create the magical blessing that our world is praying for – a change of course, and emerging destiny of kindness, compassion, wellness, and most importantly CELEBRATION! This meeting will tune YOU up – and the blessing – initiation – invitation and prayer for us all at the end is a blessing for you too!

December 16th – Step into flow – with Barbara Novak – “Step into flow” with Barbara Novak – to explore flow, be flow, invite flow, integrate flow, and be inspired.

December 20th – Practical Magic on the Solstice – The ancient mystery schools revealed the reality of our place in our solar system – and Practical Magic steps it up to a vision of our place in our Galaxy and in the Vast Self that is Totality. This gathering explores the big picture of the energy waves emanating from the great central Presence at the center of our galaxy that are profoundly influencing life on Earth. Our practice of moving into synchronicity with this flow of life affirming expansive energy is called “Living Ceremony” – and we share the many factors that go into how to create living ceremony – especially in this moment of visionary potential – the Solstice of December 21st 2020. We include an experience of living ceremony that is a blessing to you!

Monday December 28, Practical Magic – you are a magical being!The Solstice energy is still present in a big way – and in this ongoing glow of energetic waves lifting us to great heights of visioning, and great depths of compassion for embodiment, we explore the reality of “reality” as a dream, and how to create a viable intention that isn’t the pursuit of an elusive outcome, but rather is a declaration of what IS – the emerging gift from within each of us. This is the Path of Quetzalpetlatl – the not so mysterious Mystery that all of life cares for life, is loving, and in reciprocity with all of life. We also talk about the Solstice – our experiences – and conclude with a powerful blessing of YES! for life, for our own lives, and for the path ahead.
