Temple of Mysteries
A living mystery school for the descent and the return.
This is where the Seven Gates are walked, not just read. Inside, She Who Rises guides you through each gate's descent and ascent in your own body, at your own pace, no cohorts, no falling behind. Live circles meet you where you are, some months in myth and discussion, others in verbal Reiki activation, held in company rather than alone. Enter whenever you're called, and return for as long as the work keeps unfolding.
A Path You Walk, Not a Course You Watch
Walk all Seven Gates whenever you're ready, at your own rhythm. No cohort schedule, no falling behind.
Monthly gatherings held in myth, discussion, and live verbal Reiki activation, meeting you where you are.
The teaching gives you the map. The activation is where the actual transformation happens, in your body.
Company for the descent and the return, so this work never has to happen in isolation.
The Seven Gates
Each one walked twice, once released, once received.
Enter Whenever You're Called
Join, and enter at your own gate
There's no start date to wait for. Begin at Gate One, or wherever the descent is currently calling you.
Walk each gate in two passes
A teaching and activation for the release, then a teaching and activation for the reception, same gate, both directions.
Show up to live circles when you can
Monthly gatherings held in company, myth and discussion some months, live activation others.
Return to the spiral, as often as it calls
This isn't one-and-done. Come back to any gate, any time, as the work keeps unfolding.
Carissa has carried the Usui Shiki Ryลhล lineage of Reiki since her initiation as a Master in 2008, and returned to it fully after years of walking her own descent. She channels Aureya, an evolving frequency of uncorrupted exchange, and writes under her own name and others, threading myth, energy work, and lived experience into one body of work. She isn't guiding you through the gates as someone standing outside them. She's walked through more than once, and keeps returning.
Choose How You'd Like to Enter
Stay as long as it serves you. Cancel anytime, no long-term hold.
Almost two months of the year given back to you, for those ready to walk the whole cycle rather than test the threshold.
You'll select monthly or annual on the next page.
The Gates Are Open
You're already standing at one of them, whether you've named it or not. This is where you stop reading about the descent, and start walking it, in company, at your own pace.
