Programs for Personal Evolution

"Let us all come into remembrance of the beauty and purpose of our existence. The more we are able to touch into the vastness, richness, and Beauty of Creation, the more we are able to feel the deserving nature of our Presence here. The more we realize this, the more we are able to connect with the very essence and nature of Life, with the breadth of the Cosmos, and through this, the nature, the identity and the purpose of our Being."
-Zacciah Blackburn, PhD

These are evolutionary programs, constantly evolving as the Mystery unfolds, and guides us, taking us into ever deeper waters of cohesion, understanding of the nature of life, our selves, and our part in it, and the fields of unity pervading All Life. The Wisdom of the Guides and Elders who bring forward their wisdom and teachings, the profound transformative power and insight experienced during the Sacred Sound Transmissions, all add to the integrity and quality of these program offerings. There is well over 40 years of experience, 30 years of practice, and 20 years of teaching in which these programs are based, bridging the deep wisdom of Living Traditions with the incredible guidance brought through from the gnosis of direct realization and the experiences revealed on the other side of normal consciousness experiences. We hope you will take time to experience the work. As, it takes us to realms beyond language and cognition. And, language and cognition, while they may give glimpses of understanding of the depth of the work, cannot give the incredible breadth and richness which the immersion of oneself in the direct experience of the Great Mystery can give.
We invite you into the work.

From Ancient Egyptian Alchemy, to studies based in Tantric Buddhist, Hindu, Mystical Christian, Peruvian, & Native American practices. Potent initiations & empowerments are often incorporated into these explorations of the Illuminated Self, through ancient & living esoteric exercises, utilizing the transformative power of sacred sound attunements and Transmissions. Programs incorporate these understandings into contemporary application and relevance to the modern transformational life, as well as prophetic understandings of the nature of the Times in which we live, spoken of by many cultures as a time of Great Awakening and Evolution for all Humanity. Through simple awareness, alchemical & energy techniques, we can cultivate and sustain the Vital Living Powers of Consciousness & Illumination within OurSelves, & relationship to the world, and greater Cosmos.

Many of our programs may include especial services or exercises for World Healing, to assist in these transformative times. We each have a role to play in the current global transformation, and can serve deeply with our mindful thoughts and actions.

These programs guide us into a sacred state of being and consciousness, greater than most participants recall having ever experienced. Many participants report their experience is more far reaching, more touching, and healing,
than they could have ever expected, touching them in ways unimaginable prior to their participation.
”Life Transforming,” “Deeply moving and Healing” -quotes from prior participants.

"There simply are not words adequate to translate the experience.
One must experience it for oneself."

'Zacciah gives deep and real insight, clear understanding, with joy,
and humor, and with the wisdom to incorporate these practices into every day living.'

We offer a variety of in depth studies of the Egyptian mastery techniques
of High Alchemy, via work with The Hathors, Sekhmet, Horus, Isis,
Hat'or, and others of the Egyptian lineages. Some teachings are derived specifically from the work of master teachers with whom Zacciah has studied Egyptian mysticism. Many are discerned directly from relationship with these beings via the subtle realms of consciousness. Such teachings are incorporated into many of our programs, but are explicit to our Egyptian based programs:
Building the Light Body, The Hathors, Opening the Seals (in Europe),
Egyptian High Alchemy & Personal Evolution and The Power of Sekhmet.
Anchoring these techniques with Sacred Sound initiations serve to awaken us to a deepest level of memory and being. Most programs scheduled in Europe and Canada are also offered at various times in the US. Contact us for additional information.
