The portal between the lover and the chariot.
Relationships are the matrix in which life unfolds. They contain our fates, the paths both followed and untaken. They shape the very nature of the stories of our lives.
Meditation
Erica Otto (writer & narrator)
Brian Marchant (sound engineer)
The stimuli we attend to shape our world view, perspective, learning, and growth. Each of the five distinct meditations you will encounter are designed to take you to different places in your mind’s eye and through your senses. Each experience explores a different path, creates internal momentum, and ritualizes movement, both physical and in the Self.
Portal Painting 2: Crossroads of Light and Shadow
Ciarra Saylor
A portal opens where emotional and spiritual realms converge. A heron in flight, caught between light and shadow, soars above a crossroads, embodying self-determination. Seven circles, imbued with numerology’s wisdom, pulse with the energy of completion and inner awakening, guiding the composition’s flow.
Each path radiates like a vein from a beating heart, posing the universe’s eternal question: Which way now? These decisions, far from fleeting, carve the terrain of the future, summoning confrontations that forge us anew.
This momentum drives a cycle of growth—solving one challenge only to meet the next. The painting transcends personal bonds, reflecting the broader journey of the self, where every choice deepens our relationship with the universe. The seven circles trace this alchemy, from earthly roots to transcendent unity, urging the viewer to surrender to life’s unfolding.
