The portal between the fool and magician.
Infinite possibilities and multiple points of beginning. Seen and unseen. Felt and unfelt. The path opens up to preliminary impressions. Intentions set a process into motion.
Embroidered curtains
Erica Otto
The curtains open the first threshold into the mythic space through which we journey. Each hand stitched symbol represents a portal dyad, a step in the process of change.
Bells
Ashley Dodd
Bells are used in various ritual traditions to signal the beginning of a ritual process. They set a boundary - between what was before and what we now enter into. They bring awareness to this present moment.
Portal Painting 1: Threshold of Transformation
Ciarra Saylor
The painting draws us to an energetic cusp and supports us in surrendering to the unknown of this new beginning. It invites love for ourselves and our wounds, Love for ourselves, healing our wounds and moving into universal spaces to witness our truest being. We release sparkly threads of stardust every time we speak our dreams out loud, with every word, brushstroke, and step. As we move into a new beginning this portal painting is here to provide support and guidance. When you sit with this portal you will be seen and heard, a permission to dream and begin anew. To heal, create, and evolve into a more coherent version of yourself, replete with kindness, support, and love. You are being called to embrace the transformative power of crossing this threshold.
Scent Scape
Heidi Nielsen
The first 7 archetype portals are about meeting the archetypes outside ourselves as forces greater than us. We do not fully embody any of these archetypes because they are so big, but we will each come into relationship with them for moments of time. The journey through the archetypes begins in the realm of myth and spirit before it can become a part of us.
This scent is light and otherworldly. It takes us out of the everyday and into a mythic realm.
Inspiring, energizing, organizing, both big and subtle.
Music
Micheal Hewitt
The music of PORTALS is layered, each room only playing certain notes, melodies, and elements. This layer is full of optimism as it signals the first steps in a long journey of deep exploration.
