A clean ending can be the most powerful kind of beginning. In this deeply moving episode, the Moon Rising team gathers in ceremony to honor Isabel’s transition from her leadership role—celebrating the gratitude, the transformation, and the golden curiosity for what’s next. This is an intimate glimpse into how a spiritual community navigates real change with honesty, ritual, and reverence.
Together, Christine, Shantel, and Isabel trace the story of Moon Rising’s creation, the intuitive callings that shaped its evolution, and Isabel's trust in what her intuition is calling her to do next.
In this episode, we explore:
- How to end a chapter with integrity, gratitude, and clarity
- The power of ritual and witness in times of change
- Why alignment is a continuous practice, not a one-time feeling
- The role of intuition in guiding leadership and evolution
- Reclaiming your energy and trusting divine timing
- How to release what no longer serves while blessing what remains
- Reflecting on our time together as your Moon Rising Team
- A ceremony and card reading to celebrate the transition
- A final circle closing!
Join with us to celebrate our time with Isabel, and don't forget to share your most treasured memories with her in our Moon Rising Shamanic Mystics Facebook group!

Beautiful.
Welcome, welcome everybody.
We are here for my finalWhispers of Wisdom, which is
kind of crazy to say, but we'vebeen in Sacred Ceremony as a
(05:18):
team for the last hour.
So we're staying in that reallylovely, calm, reflective,
celebratory energy for today'sconversation.
If you guys missed last week'spodcast or haven't heard, I'll
be transitioning from Moonrisingat the end of the week.
If you want to learn more aboutthe inspiration for that
(05:42):
decision and how it's allunfolded, I really do encourage
you to check out last week'spodcast where Chantelle and I
dive in really deep to thewhat's and how's and whys.
But today we're really justsitting in ceremony with each
other, reflecting on our timetogether as a team, but also our
time, my time with the communityand just the incredible
(06:05):
transformations and experiencesthat we've had together over the
last three years with Chantel,five to six years with Christine
and I, and just really holdingceremony and space for what I've
been calling kind of the end ofan era, you guys.
SPEAKER_00 (06:21):
Yeah, absolutely.
It does definitely feel likethat.
And um know that as we come on,we have been in our own team
meeting, ceremonial space to um,I feel like to say yes to
(06:42):
ourselves, our sovereignty, ourclarity, our joy, our um knowing
that we are here in celebrationand joy and ceremony with all of
you for this time that we umthat we get to to conclude, um,
(07:02):
conclude that era.
And so, yeah, there's a lot,there's a lot of emotions.
Um, and and definitely uhthere's grief weaved into that
because it this isn't somethingthat uh I we any of us will take
lightly.
This is a huge um shift, and sowe want to share that and all of
(07:23):
our authenticity of that withyou.
SPEAKER_03 (07:26):
So yeah, this is a beautiful container that we have
created here today.
And although we are, you know,saying goodbye today for now,
but know that the friendshipsrun deep and that we're all
still here for each other and tosupport each other and for the
community to really be able tohonor you and to hopefully even
(07:48):
I would like to put in ourFacebook group too is you know,
memories that they can also aplace that they can say, Oh yes,
this is how she impacted me,these are things I've learned,
what are their aha moments ofyou?
And know that there are many,there are many, and that we've
all grown because of knowingeach other, but definitely
(08:09):
because you have been here andthat your spark it ignites ours.
So definitely honor you and yourjourney forward.
SPEAKER_00 (08:20):
Yeah, absolutely, it's been um, it's been it's
been a trip, you guys.
Like from the very beginning,when I was just like really
overwhelmed with the amount ofwork of putting together what
was once Reiki Cafe Universityand going, please, universe, if
(08:42):
this is meant for me, bring methe person.
And literally within 24 hours, Igot a DM from Isabel and I never
had interacted with her before.
And I was just like, oh, thatwas easy, you know, and just
letting the right timing and thedivine calling and all of these
(09:02):
things lead to where we are.
And you know, I just rememberthat it was uh it was it was
easy then.
It was like, okay, I can trustthis, I can trust this, and
watch her skill sets justcompletely take their full
fruition and form.
(09:23):
And like, I was like, I want todo a podcast.
She's like, oh yeah, I've donethose before.
I want to do this.
And she's like, oh yeah, I'vedone, I've done some of that
before, and just watch that allunfold in the true form of an
alchemist.
And so much more than that, youknow, like I feel like we have
given ourselves these titles,you know, Chantelle being our
(09:44):
mystic and Isabel being our umalchemist and myself being the
visionary.
And and, you know, that's justlike one archetype of the many
that we hold, right?
And so I just want to welcome inthe dynamicness of all of us of
going, yes, Isabel's been ouralchemist, but she has been so
(10:08):
much more than that.
She has been a freaking amazingteacher and coach.
And I know she has not onlypulled me personally out of dark
places and spaces, but so manyof our students.
And I just want everyone to knowhow much she has honored and
(10:28):
transformed everything that wehave created and touched here
through Reiki Cafe Universityand Moonrising Shamanic
Institute.
Like we would not, we would notbe where we are without the
fullness of her energy beyondthe alchemist.
So I really truly honor, honorall of the wisdom, all of the
gifts, all of the ways that youshow up in the world and how you
(10:51):
have shared that with us and onour team and in our spaces and
in our community.
Like it's been it's been reallybeautiful.
I'm really grateful.
SPEAKER_03 (11:01):
Thank you.
I have to say on my part, and Iknow in our ceremony, I even
said it about like your patienceto be able to help people with
tech issues, like especially forme when I'm like, hey, I don't
know how to do this, I can't dothat.
And I've you know, there's beentimes where I'm like waiting for
you to come back, like, oh mygosh, Antel, and you never have.
(11:24):
You've always just been like,okay, I got that.
Let me send this your way.
And I have to say I really doappreciate that because you
know, um a more resistant heartwould be coming back at somebody
and in a way that would makethem feel small, and you never
did.
(11:44):
And so, you know, I know thatmay seem small, but here in a a
world that is all online thatit, you know, I never really
embraced, you know.
I mean, I just not a part oflike the generation of what I,
you know, I grew up with the itbeing introduced, not like you
guys come in, a differentgeneration comes in with it
(12:06):
already.
You're online, and I had to beplugged in.
And I appreciate you plugging mein because I needed it.
And I still have a lot to go,but I know I can always reach
out to you and be like, hey,help me here.
I got your back, girl.
And I love that.
I love that this is ending onthat note, and I don't even want
to say ending, but that thetransition is there on that
(12:29):
there is no ill will, there's noanimosity, there's no nothing.
And I know I've had some peoplelike, what's going on?
I'm like, nothing.
She's growing, she's doing herthing, and I love that.
And so um I just I want everyoneto hear that that this is such a
good thing, and and we all getto witness it and to journey
(12:50):
with you in a different way.
SPEAKER_01 (12:53):
Yeah, absolutely.
And it's you know, it's funnyyou bring that up because I was
thinking back to like Christinewas saying at the very, very
beginning where we didn't evenknow you yet, Chantel.
And and I just had thisintuitive nudge of, hey, you
know what you need to do, youneed to message this random
woman on the internet thatyou've never seen before and see
(13:13):
if she needs help.
And and she did.
And it was the start of we'realmost past, no, we are past,
we're past five and a halfyears.
So we're if we're round up, wewe can say six years.
It's been, you know, six yearsof our lives that have been
molded and shaped by thatintuitive nudge to to just
(13:33):
message somebody for no apparentreason.
And this has that same feelingto me, that same intuitive nudge
of, hey, there's this thing thatyou need to do that it might not
make sense, you know.
Message a woman you've never meton the internet, but look, look
where it brought us, you know,and look at how much was born
(13:54):
out of following that intuitiveimpulse.
And and I just it it really doeshave that same feeling of
there's so much waiting for notjust me, but for all of us on
the other side of thistransition.
And I know that we've all beenfeeling it this year, all of the
transitions that we've had inour personal lives, and Lord
(14:16):
knows this eclipse season tookall three of us for, you know,
gave us a run for our money.
And and through that, it hasbeen so beautiful to watch how
we've all continued to lean oneach other and and process with
each other and work with eachother and and rely on each
other's gifts, like Christinewas saying, and hold space for
(14:39):
each of us to be the fullestexpression of who we are, and
that that extends even intoholding space for when it's time
to transition into somethingnew.
We're we're right there for eachother and holding space and
leaning into the curiosity ofwhat comes next while
acknowledging the grief of youknow what we're losing in that
transition and all of theincredible memories that have
(15:02):
come over the last six years.
And so it really is, I have tosay it's been a really beautiful
process of just witnessing everysingle emotion that has come
with this transition and andwith this new season of life
that's coming.
You know, it's it's I thinkthat's something that we don't
talk about very much, is howthese intuitive nudges
(15:24):
oftentimes, you know, they theyring us out a little bit.
They bring up every possibleemotion and all of our
connections and they call us torely on each other and to stand
in our community more.
And and I really love that we'vegotten to do that in a way
that's not only so true to thethree of us, but also in a way
that our community can see so wecan really bring forward that
(15:45):
energy of what a beautiful teamwe've been and what a beautiful
thing we've created and theenergy and the love that we have
for each other.
SPEAKER_00 (15:53):
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
And I feel like we definitely umI just recognize when spirit
gives me a calling, likesometimes it's not this instant,
like, okay, I'm gonna go to thething.
Like, oftentimes when divineinspiration hits me, I'm like,
you gotta be kidding me.
Like, right.
(16:14):
Like, I wanna, I wanna fightabout it.
I want to drag my feet, I wantto like bitch and complain a
little bit and be like, allright, fine, you know, and it
that's okay.
Like everyone can be in theirown process of what that looks
like for them.
And I know that even this lastspring at the beginning of the
year, like I was like, Oh, I'msupposed to do in-person stuff
(16:35):
again.
Like, I don't really want to dothat.
And then I'm like starting like,oh, yeah, I do love this too.
Like, fine, okay, right.
And so, like, it's all of thesedifferent spaces where we get to
recognize our authentic selvesand our own authentic process
and how we want to show up, andcontinuing to say yes to our
evolution and to our growth andto our own personal development
(16:58):
and recognizing those places andspaces within ourselves that
might feel sticky and go, okay,I've got something to recognize
in all of this and be okay withcommunicating about it and being
where you're at and stillseeking that space for I can be
compassionate with myself and Ican be compassionate with others
(17:20):
and I can love the process, eventhough it might not feel it
doesn't always feel good, right?
But that doesn't mean that weare um not loving on one
another, you know, that likeit's hard sometimes when um when
I've uh when I'm in my own likestruggle with my spirit guides.
(17:42):
Like I think that's I don't knowif that's a unique experience,
but when I'm I'm like they'retelling me to go down this path
and I'm like, I don't want to.
And I love that like Isabel,like she got the call, and
there's like it's such a adifferent reaction.
You're like, I always see youget like that divine
inspiration, and you're like,okay, well, I'm gonna do this,
(18:03):
I'm gonna do this uh nervoussystem series, and I'm like,
cool.
And there's not this big um uhlike fight about it.
And I definitely I'm I'm alwaysfighting with my like next call.
I'm like, really?
Okay.
And so I just I want to honorthat in you that like it's so
(18:23):
much, it seems to be, and maybeI'm wrong, but it seems to be so
much easier for you to say yesto your path, your direction.
And I just love that.
And I love that everyone gets tobe themselves in it.
SPEAKER_01 (18:41):
Yeah.
And you know, it's it's like Isaid, it's just it's been really
beautiful to watch that stage ofcompletion, especially I I'm
loving the symbolism of the factthat this is happening right
after we stepped into fall in,you know, earth, earth time,
because it really, it reallydoes just feel like this, you
(19:02):
know, I everybody knows from mystories that I've shared about
what's happened in my life.
There are so many times wheretransitions that have happened
in my life I've not been readyfor.
They've just kind of blindsidedme and felt like, you know, if
you follow numerology that theycaught me at the five instead of
the nine, you know, and and Ifeel like this is a journey that
I've really gotten to see allthe way through to that nine and
(19:24):
and being able to, you know,even at our ceremony today when
Chantal was doing our teamceremony, it it's ended right at
9.09, her time, you know, andjust the the beautiful symbolism
of being able to see somethingto completion.
And it certainly wasn't thecompletion that my mind thought
it was gonna be, but my soul hasjust been so clear in what's
(19:47):
coming.
And and I've been so grateful tobe able to watch it unfold over
the course of the year.
You know, there's just been somany little signs and nudges and
conversations and and justeverything leading us to this
point where it just feels like areally natural, a really natural
conclusion and a really naturaltime for this transformation to
(20:08):
take place.
And I'm I'm really just so, Ihave to say, I'm so incredibly
grateful for you guys, for thefor the two of you, for the
space that you hold.
I'm grateful for our community,for our students, for letting me
teach and share and have mylittle, you know, soapbox
moments and getting to engagewith the energy and and really
(20:30):
explore and express who I am asa teacher and as a leader and as
a guide and and all of thesethings.
And, you know, it's it'sabsolutely true to say that I
would not be the person that Iam today if I hadn't had the
last six years to shape me andmy energy and the way that I see
things and the way that I showup and have a space where even
(20:52):
when my life was really hard alot of times over the last six
years, I had a space where I wascalled to show up and stand in
my highest light.
And you know, the camera comeson and and I'm that teacher and
I'm that guide.
And having that space where Icould not escape to, but come to
to be reminded of who I truly amwas such a blessing.
(21:14):
And I'm really grateful thatI've had that anchor to hold on
to when I needed it over thelast six years.
I love that.
SPEAKER_03 (21:24):
I love that you were able to create a space.
I mean, I know energetically andcollectively the three of us
have, but that for yourself, youhad that space that you could
come to and know that it wasgonna anchor it at you in.
It was gonna remind you of whoyou are because we can get lost
in our stuff and our emotionsand our, you know, our trauma
(21:44):
moments and and want to justlike run away.
But instead you did.
You always just you've alwaysjust shown up.
And you were always very clearwhen you're like, I just need me
time for a minute, but you wouldalways come still.
Like, what do you need before Itake my me time?
Do you guys need anything beforeI like take the next day off or
a couple of days off?
(22:05):
And you'd be like, no, go doyou.
And I always like I all havealways seen that in you is that
you always want to make surethat everyone around you is
taken care of, even if it meansyou're taking care of them
before you're putting yourselffirst.
And I see that you're now you'reputting yourself first.
And that's beautiful because ittakes a long time for a lot of
(22:28):
people to understand what thatmeans to put yourself first.
And I just see this as a greatinvitation for our community to
recognize that and to know thatyou can put yourself first
sometimes.
And it doesn't mean it's becauseyou're leaving with a heart and
heart.
It just means like, you know,there's just something else out
there too to go explore and tobe curious about and to go learn
(22:52):
from.
And other teachers and mentorsare gonna cross your path and
you're gonna cross theirs.
And there's just so much that'sgonna come forward.
And this has also been anopening, a catalyst for the
three of us to venture off on,even though I'm staying and
Christine staying, we're here,but that in our own way, we're
also walking a differentjourney, you know, and and so
(23:15):
it's it's beautiful.
And and I don't know, like Ikeep saying, I just I see a
meeting point in the future atsome point, and whatever that
becomes, it becomes.
But I invite that, I'm open tothat, however that is, and um
even if it's just being a gueston your podcast or you coming
back and visit and visiting uson ours, you know, like I just
(23:37):
see that it's um no longerentangled, but definitely
standing in our sovereign powerwith each other.
SPEAKER_00 (23:46):
So yeah, yeah.
I had um our retreat host sendme a video yesterday via text
about from like a memories fromher phone.
And I had to post it yesterdaybecause it just went to show
like just a beautifulhighlighted moment of when all
(24:06):
of our energies were togetherand we were making magic, and
everything felt like it was suchin this beautiful flow state.
Like it was so easy, it was theeasiest retreat I've ever put
on, and it was the magic betweenthe three of us, you know.
And I I posted it and I waslike, you know, I could see us
(24:28):
coming back together to dosomething like this again at
some point.
Not that there's any pressureto, but also like I recognize
that there is this magic of whenwe can come together and play
together and um know that we canall stand in our authentic truth
and sovereignty and expressionand whatever we are creating in
(24:51):
our lives that this can be umthat there's gonna be places and
spaces where the the weavingsmight come back and and and that
would be welcome, you know.
SPEAKER_01 (25:04):
Absolutely.
And and I have to say, I reallyam so excited.
Like I keep just getting the thelittle happy like jitters to see
what happens with moon risingfrom here, you know.
It was it it really was so hardto come, you know, to
Christine's point about myintuition, it was really hard to
come around to the fact thatlike, oh, you know, it moon
(25:27):
rising is we just celebrated ourfirst anniversary, but I've been
working behind the scenes on onmaking it happen for two years,
and and of course Reiki Cafebefore that, but it there's
there's such a big piece of whoI am and such a big piece of my
heart in Moonrising.
And it did take a minute torecognize that okay, it's not
(25:48):
it's not meant to be mineanymore.
And but I do have to say thatI'm just so excited to see where
you guys take it from here.
Like I'm I'm so excited to stillbe in the Facebook group and be
an avid podcast listener and andreally just watch what happens
next because I can just feelthat energy of excitement and
(26:10):
new beginnings and this spaceopening up for something new.
And I'm really I'm I'm I thinkjust as much as everybody else
is kind of sitting on the edgeof their chairs wondering what's
gonna happen next, I really amtoo.
And I'm really excited to seethe kinds of magic that you guys
have in store for what was ourcommunity and is now gonna be
your community, and and and justholding space for your gifts to
(26:35):
come through and your teachingsto come through and and seeing
what you're gonna fill the spacewith.
I'm I'm just I'm really excitedto see what happens next.
SPEAKER_03 (26:48):
I remember when um so when I finished what was SRPT
back then, um and then Christinecalled and left me a message
saying that she wanted to inviteasked me to be her apprentice,
and then I think I had to dosome form of um meeting or
something with you, Isabel, andthen you're like, I don't
(27:10):
Christine, like I really thinkyou need to call Chantel.
And I remember just filling inthe moment, like the excitement
of it, but but I at that pointit was like, really me?
Because you know, it was justit's all of that that starts
unfolding and who I think we seeourselves as.
And then when you get to see ouryour reflection in someone else,
(27:33):
it's like wow, you know, it'slike coming back to we are the
mirrors of each other, and andso when you can see your own
reflection in somebody else andthrough somebody else, it's so
beautiful, and so um I love whoI see in you two and and what
our community has become and howwe do show up, and so it's just
(27:57):
knowing that those mirrors arejust gonna reflect a little
further out, but yeah, it'sstill there, it's still there.
It's like even right now, I'mlike seeing these like three
mountains in this reflection,you know.
And I'm like, all right, I'llsee you in the distance, we're
always gonna be right there.
SPEAKER_00 (28:15):
So yeah, there's definitely this piece of I don't
first see Moon Rising goinganywhere, you know, where it's
still gonna be this um stablespace of our group and our
courses and all of the thingsthat that we provide.
And I just can't wait to see howGateway Isabelle's um new
(28:40):
company unfolds and becomes itsown beautiful source of wisdom
provided for her own communityand sprinkled into ours.
And like I just love that umthis is this is done in such a
way of honoring, you know.
Like right now, I'm looking atthe chat box of going, oh no,
such a change for you all.
(29:01):
And it's like, this isn't an ohno, this is a moment of
celebrating exactly who we areand allowing people to change
and evolve into who they'remeant to be, right?
So this is a yes, go, please.
If this is what you're callingis, be all of who you are in all
the ways that you want to be, inall the places that you want to
(29:23):
be.
And it's not that we're notgonna miss those pieces or that
energy that Isabel brings to thetable table, but we also don't
want to uh stagnate or suppressor any of those things of her
full potential and where she'sbeing called by the divine, you
know, and so I'm gonna honorthose nearly six years of time
(29:46):
together and go thank you, thankyou, thank you.
I'm in such a space of gratitudeand honoring um that uh I want I
want to see the the new evolvedversion.
Of Isabel as she steps in thegateway.
SPEAKER_01 (30:04):
Yeah.
I love that.
And you know, it really is alsopart of why I was so gung-ho on
making that change andtransition, is because we we all
need somebody to look to for.
And I don't want to say that weneed the permission, but our
minds like to have someone wecan look to and say, look, they
(30:25):
did it.
They made the decision.
They followed their intuition.
They stepped into the highestversion of themselves.
And the three of us have alwaysbeen that for our community.
You know, that's always been thevalue that we hold is showing up
as our truest selves and stayingtrue to what's most aligned.
And Lord knows we've made somany pivots over time because
(30:46):
it's what needed to happen tostay in alignment and different
courses we've created anddifferent ways that we've shown
up and different podcast ideas.
And there's just, there's somuch that we have done to stay
in true alignment to who we are.
But but knowing that we're we'restaying in that truest and
highest alignment with who weare, not just for ourselves, but
(31:09):
also what's in the best andhighest alignment for Moon
Rising.
And it's like it would be doinga disservice to not follow and
continue to stay in thatalignment and continue to trust
that intuition, even if it takesme or us or or any of it
somewhere else, you know.
And it's like I know that ifthat, I know that if that nudge,
if that message had come throughfor Christine or Chantel, they
(31:32):
would have done the same thingbecause of that commitment to
staying in alignment andhonoring our highest and most,
you know, authentic selves.
And I almost hate sayingauthentic self because it's kind
of become a buzzword lately, butlike that that just fullest
expression of knowing thatyou're allowed to show up
however you're gonna show up.
And life is way too short to putyourself in a situation that
(31:55):
doesn't feel aligned.
And just because a situationdoesn't feel aligned doesn't
mean that it was bad.
You know what I mean?
It's not like there's atransition because something was
an oh no.
Like Christine said, it's justthat sometimes your alignment
shifts.
And because we're so committedto that, that's the choice that
we're making is to continuefollowing that alignment and
(32:16):
making space for, you know, moonrising to continue to be the
greatest and highest that it canbe.
As I'm stepping into makingGateway the greatest and highest
that it can be, and followingthose intuitive nudges and
divine messages and letting goof that mental control so that
our souls can surprise anddelight us along the way to
whatever's coming next.
SPEAKER_03 (32:37):
Yeah, yeah.
It really brings true of what itmeans to release what no longer
serves.
Um, recently I had aconversation with someone and
they were saying, I don't likethat because that means I'm
releasing this, this, and that,and all the positive and the
good, the bad.
And this I go, no, what you'rereleasing, I go, you have to pay
attention to what no longerserves.
(32:58):
Because if you are holding on towhat no longer serves and you
can't truly stand in yourauthentic self, your alignment
of self, because you're holdingon too much, you know, and it's
time to let it go.
And honestly, energetically,we're energy beings.
We would all tune into theenergy of you not wanting to be
(33:19):
here because you feel that pullto go somewhere else.
So it is, it's a wonderful wayto be able to shift and pivot
out in your own terms withoutthe universe coming back and
saying, Hey, you've alreadyreceived how many nudges and
you're not listening.
So now we gotta like throw thestone at you, you know.
(33:39):
Instead, you're like, no, I'mgonna pay attention and I'm
gonna listen.
And that's what this work is allabout is for us to be able to
witness each other when we arereceiving those nudges and when
it is time to shift, pivot,whatever it is, that we can do
that.
And we can do it with grace andwe can do it in honoring of what
is being left as well as what'sbeing gained.
SPEAKER_00 (34:03):
Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely.
It's it's definitely a place andspace of this dance that we're
doing with the divine, with theuniverse, with the earth source
energy, and going, where am Imeant to be in this moment?
Where am I meant to be in thistime?
Where can I shine my truth?
Where can I shine my love, mycompassion, my purpose?
(34:26):
And and we each get to say yesto that.
Yeah, we are.
We're all saying yes.
SPEAKER_01 (34:37):
Well, Chantal, is it time for a reading?
Yeah, let's do it.
SPEAKER_03 (34:44):
Okay.
Let me see what I want to pull.
So this reading is with theintention of what and how we are
moving forward, what's to comein a positive light for us each,
as well as Moon Rising, for agateway, for our community.
(35:08):
Oh, right off the bat, we gotsoul retrieval.
So we are we are callingourselves back home.
And if I stopped right there,that would be enough.
SPEAKER_01 (35:21):
You're like, that's done.
SPEAKER_03 (35:22):
One card, we're good.
One card, we are, we're standinglike how she is looking at the
light moving forward, you know,and calling ourselves.
That is what this is about.
Let's see what else is comingforward as we are moving forward
in our journey.
(35:46):
Yeah, that golden light, therays that are going to shine
from each one of us, from ourbusinesses, like this is so
heartfelt, and knowing that thatgolden light is shining through
us from us, and that comes fromthat soul retrieval because
we're paying attention to thenudges.
We're walking, we're walking thejourney of spirit.
(36:13):
Yeah, and this life force, andas that snake is weaving its
way, it's Kumalini, the lifeforce that is truly connecting
in the energy within the heartspace, and as it's moving its
way up into the crown chakra.
(36:35):
So we are shifting from what isseen, like the surface of
everything, to what is unknown,unseen, and I love that.
So there's so much that's comingforward for us.
Um each of us to witness what isto be exposed, to be opened,
(36:59):
gifts that will start to revealthemselves in the deeper aspects
of ourselves as well.
Oh interesting.
So as I'm pulling this, um I'malso seeing um visionary.
(37:30):
So that's interesting how thatjust showed itself.
Like, yeah, the weaving of thelight, the uh okay.
So access clear thinking, andthis is where we are, and how
she holds that ball of yarn, andwe can unweave it and follow the
threads that are calling usforward.
(37:52):
One new beginnings.
Yes, being able to pivot wherewe need to pivot.
Love it, transformation comingforward, stepping into the
unknown.
So that's all just beautifulmessages, listening to your
(38:14):
guardian angel.
SPEAKER_02 (38:19):
Let's see what else we have.
SPEAKER_03 (38:24):
The cycle breaker.
There you go, Isabel.
That's you, the cycle breaker.
So you'll get through it.
The cycle is ending, and I lovehow there's three women stacked
up and representing the trilogyof us, the triad.
(38:45):
Releasing the past.
We got that in the um when wewere together.
Yeah.
The energy is transforming, it'sbeing transmuted, and I love how
the light is above and below.
So we're connecting.
This is like that pillar oflight that's coming forward for
us, and the holy mountain.
Both of these came through inour original reading.
(39:08):
So the releasing of the past andthe holy mountain, this is our
soul calling, your sacredjourney and pilgrimage.
Let me see what we have for me.
SPEAKER_02 (39:38):
Okay.
That was crazy.
There's a lot to be said.
I know, I love it.
Let me just like, I am droppingto the floor.
SPEAKER_03 (39:49):
Let me grab these.
Okay.
See what we have.
Oh, yeah, the page of swords.
So this is like stepping intonew ideas, new thoughts, like
really taking the platform forthat, releasing any judgment of,
and I'm feeling like judgment oflike self or the situation, but
(40:10):
it's letting that go because aswe step forward into new ideas,
it's letting go of thatexpectation, right?
And it's just being in flow withit.
Yes, the resting, the four ofswords of being able to just
kick back and enjoy the journeyversus being like work, work,
work or being stuck in theheadspace.
(40:31):
The three of us, the three ofcups, celebrating our journey
right here, right now.
And this one also came up, thereminiscing, right?
Staying heart-centered, stayingconnected with each other and
having that friendship that thatlasts beyond here, right?
And let's see, I think that'sit.
(40:53):
Let me split the deck and see.
Yeah, the three of wands.
I love how we're getting thesethrees, like it's representing.
So the three of wands is us eachhaving our own vision of where
we all want to be and at thesame time.
Yeah, it's just it's beautiful.
Yeah, very good.
(41:15):
Top of the deck, moving inabundance.
Very good.
How's that feel?
Does that feel complete?
Do you have any questions?
I love it.
I love it.
SPEAKER_00 (41:27):
It does feel complete.
Yeah, it does.
SPEAKER_03 (41:33):
Like open heart complete.
SPEAKER_00 (41:36):
Yeah, absolutely.
So before we came on, we were webegan in ceremony, and with
that, we did a heart salutationand calling of the directions.
And I would love this to toinvite Isabel to do a closing of
the directions and a witnessingof us doing our final heart
(41:59):
salutation with one another.
So, Isabel, if you arecomfortable with that, I'd love
you to invite you to the closingof the directions for us.
SPEAKER_01 (42:10):
Beautiful.
And before we do that, I do justagain want to take a moment to
honor each of you, to honor you,Christine, to honor you,
Chantelle, to honor the spacethat we've created, the energy
that we've shared, the memoriesthat we have together over the
last six years, to honor thecommunity, to everyone who's
(42:30):
listening and witnessing us andsharing space with us and
knowing that I'm not going awaycompletely.
I'll still be in the group.
I'm sure that, like Chantelsaid, there'll probably be some
future podcast appearances andshares, but I really do just
want to honor the completion ofthis moment and the completion
(42:51):
of what we've created and whatwe've experienced over the last
six years, knowing that like westarted today's conversation
with, we really are at that ninestage.
We really are at that space ofcompletion and ending and
knowing that it's all happeningin perfect divine timing,
exactly as it was meant to, andthat we're all about to step
(43:13):
into, you know, I know it'stechnically zero, but I want to
say into our ten, you know, likeinto our next evolution, our
next expansion, our next step ofwhat's coming next for the
greatest and highest good ofeach one of us.
And I really just want to honorwhere we've come from and hold
that gratitude for where we arenow and that excitement for
where we're going next.
(43:34):
And and just holding that spaceas as we close our ceremony and
close our circle with so muchlove for each and every one of
you.
SPEAKER_00 (43:43):
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you.
SPEAKER_01 (43:47):
Beautiful.
So, with that said, let's goahead and close our eyes.
We can sit back in our chairs,let your shoulders drop away
from your ears.
SPEAKER_03 (44:02):
Yeah, beautiful.
SPEAKER_01 (44:08):
Unclenching your jaw, relaxing the muscles in
your face, letting your handsrelax, your chest relax, your
belly relax.
Taking a moment to feel in toyourself, no matter when or
where this audio, this video isreaching you, and just feeling
(44:32):
whatever feels complete inyourself.
Feeling what's ready to come toa close, what's ready to open up
a space for something new totake its place.
Feeling the alchemy that'shappening here and now of
anything that might be heavy,anything that's no longer
serving, feeling it be honored,acknowledged, and transmuted
(44:57):
into something new, somethinglight, something with that spark
of knowing, remembrance andrecognition of who we truly are.
Feeling that gratitude and thatlove expand and fill the space
as we think our directions,knowing that as we're closing,
(45:19):
our directions will go in theopposite order that we called
them in.
So we'll start with our spiritsfrom below.
We call to our power animals,mythical creatures, nature
spirits, friends of the lowerworld, those who offer us
protection and guidance, thosewho have stood with us, lent us
their power, shown us the waythrough metaphor and symbolism.
(45:43):
We thank you for the connectionsthat you've made, for reminding
us of who we truly are,reminding us of that essence,
our ability to weave the realms,to dance between ether and
matter, holding space for bothhumanity and spirituality to
dance within us, to dance witheach other, feeling that
(46:05):
connection to Mother Earth,feeling our roots sending down
deep, knowing that this is thefirst space of connection for
us, both now and moving forward,sending our roots down deep,
deep into the earth, knowingthat we are connected, that we
are held, that we are supported.
The spirits from below, we thankyou for your presence here.
(46:26):
We thank you, we love you, wehonor you.
To the spirits from above, ourspirit guides, guardian angels,
loving ancestors, the ones whohave kept us true to our souls'
optimistic intentions for thisexperience, the ones who have
kept us true to our movements,our actions, our words, our
visions over the last manyyears, holding space for
(46:49):
ourselves and space for what wewere creating, holding us true
to what moon rising was intendedto be, and helping us to see
with ease, clarity, and flow thetransition that's coming next.
We thank you for your wisdom,for your insight, for uplifting
our energy.
We thank you, we love you, wehonor you.
(47:10):
To the spirits of the north, theearth, provider and sustainer of
all physical life, nourisher ofall beings, to the trees, the
standing ones, thank you forreminding us that we can remain
grounded, sending our roots downdeep, while reaching our
branches, our leaves, ourhearts, up towards the heavens,
all while keeping us perfectlybalanced here between, staying
(47:33):

wind but never breaking, knowingthat we received all of the
nourishment we were meant toreceive here in this time and in
this space, knowing that we weresupported every step of the way
and will continue to besupported every step of the way.
To the spirits of the North, wethank you, we love you, we honor
(47:55):
you.
And to the spirits of the West,to the water, keeper of
mysteries unknown, thank you forwashing away any cloudiness in
our vision, in our hearts, inour energy, for washing away and
soothing our wounds, soothingour questions, and reminding us
what it means to trust andsurrender.
Surrender to the flow of life,surrender to the tide and the
(48:18):
current, trusting that it'staking us exactly where we're
meant to go, just as it broughtus to this moment over the last
six years, knowing that thatwater was guiding us through the
experiences and energies thatshaped each of us, made us who
we are today, allowed us to holdthe space that we have held, and
that will continue to take usforward along that most aligned
(48:39):
path for each and every one ofus.
We thank you for the courage andcuriosity you have given us to
stay true to our journeys,knowing that that support will
continue as we move forward.
To the spirits of the West, wethank you, we love you, we honor
you.
And to the spirits of the South,the fire with its passion and
purpose, thank you for burningaway all that no longer serves
(49:02):
us, for allowing that sparkwithin us to turn into a flame,
to alchemize what was heavy, toalchemize the underbrush that
was clouding our paths, clearingit away and allowing us to rise
like a phoenix from the ashes,staying true to our power,
staying connected with ourpurpose and our passion, staying
true to that light and that firewithin, knowing that that fire
(49:26):
will never go out, and that theflame we have kindled in each
other will never go out either.
Knowing that our flame is asmuch a part of ourselves as it
is of each other, of thiscommunity, that our lights are
constantly reflecting andgrowing, creating that network
of light across the globe.
To the spirits of the West, weof the South, we thank you, we
(49:48):
love you, we honor you.
And to the spirits of the East,the wind with its whispers of
wisdom, thank you for clearingaway the cobwebs in our minds.
Thank you for releasing us fromour own preconceptions,
expectations, and beliefs.
Thank you for allowing us tobecome hollow bones, open
vessels, ready to be filled withspirit, with insight, with
(50:09):
inspiration, with hope, with theenergy of a new beginning, of
the sun as it crests over themountain, shining its light on
us and remembering that withevery breath we start anew,
start afresh, taking in thatmedicine, that promise of a new
dawn, that promise of a new day,and all of the magic and joy
(50:30):
that comes with it.
To the spirits of the East, wethank you, we love you, we honor
you.
And lastly, to the spirit of ourhighest self, the one who
reminds us of who we are when werelease our own limitations and
expectations, the one who haswalked with us through this
experience, allowing us to seewith your eyes, to speak with
(50:52):
your mouth, to hear with yourears, and to witness ourselves
with your heart, to see thehighest version of ourselves, of
who we are meant to be, and tocontinue to have the bravery to
step up, to step into thatversion of ourselves, knowing
that you are here with us.
As long as we allow ourselves tosee you, to embrace you, to
(51:13):
acknowledge you, the spirit ofour highest self.
We thank you, we love you, wehonor you.
And with the energy andintention of all seven
directions now acknowledged andthanked, the sacred circle is
coming to a close.
Our time together is at an end.
Knowing that this circle todaydoes not just encompass this
ceremony, but it encompasses thelast six years of connection, of
(51:36):
communion, of community thatwe've held together, of the
space that we've shared, theenergy that we've created,
knowing that by closing thiscircle, we do not close our
connection, but we open up aspace for us each to continue on
our own paths, to continue tostay true to who we are, to
explore new paths, new waysforward through the forest of
(51:58):
our lives, knowing that we areall connected and can come
together again at any moment,knowing that we take with us the
gifts, the gratitude, the love,the joy, the experiences that
these last years have broughtus, and that all is happening
for the greatest and highestgood of all involved.
And so as we close this circleto each and every one of the
(52:20):
directions, we thank you, welove you, we honor you, and we
release you.
We release this energy, werelease this circle, we release
this time together, knowing thatit is creating space for
something new, knowing that oursacred circle is complete and
our time together is at an end,sealing it all in with another
(52:41):

If you guys missed last week'spodcast or haven't heard, I'll
be transitioning from Moonrisingat the end of the week.
If you want to learn more aboutthe inspiration for that
(05:42):
decision and how it's allunfolded, I really do encourage
you to check out last week'spodcast where Chantelle and I
dive in really deep to thewhat's and how's and whys.
But today we're really justsitting in ceremony with each
other, reflecting on our timetogether as a team, but also our
time, my time with the communityand just the incredible
(06:05):
transformations and experiencesthat we've had together over the
last three years with Chantel,five to six years with Christine
and I, and just really holdingceremony and space for what I've
been calling kind of the end ofan era, you guys.
SPEAKER_00 (06:21):
Yeah, absolutely.
It does definitely feel likethat.
And um know that as we come on,we have been in our own team
meeting, ceremonial space to um,I feel like to say yes to
(06:42):
ourselves, our sovereignty, ourclarity, our joy, our um knowing
that we are here in celebrationand joy and ceremony with all of
you for this time that we umthat we get to to conclude, um,
(07:02):
conclude that era.
And so, yeah, there's a lot,there's a lot of emotions.
Um, and and definitely uhthere's grief weaved into that
because it this isn't somethingthat uh I we any of us will take
lightly.
This is a huge um shift, and sowe want to share that and all of
(07:23):
our authenticity of that withyou.
SPEAKER_03 (07:26):
So yeah, this is a beautiful container that we have
created here today.
And although we are, you know,saying goodbye today for now,
but know that the friendshipsrun deep and that we're all
still here for each other and tosupport each other and for the
community to really be able tohonor you and to hopefully even
(07:48):
I would like to put in ourFacebook group too is you know,
memories that they can also aplace that they can say, Oh yes,
this is how she impacted me,these are things I've learned,
what are their aha moments ofyou?
And know that there are many,there are many, and that we've
all grown because of knowingeach other, but definitely
(08:09):
because you have been here andthat your spark it ignites ours.
So definitely honor you and yourjourney forward.
SPEAKER_00 (08:20):
Yeah, absolutely, it's been um, it's been it's
been a trip, you guys.
Like from the very beginning,when I was just like really
overwhelmed with the amount ofwork of putting together what
was once Reiki Cafe Universityand going, please, universe, if
(08:42):
this is meant for me, bring methe person.
And literally within 24 hours, Igot a DM from Isabel and I never
had interacted with her before.
And I was just like, oh, thatwas easy, you know, and just
letting the right timing and thedivine calling and all of these
(09:02):
things lead to where we are.
And you know, I just rememberthat it was uh it was it was
easy then.
It was like, okay, I can trustthis, I can trust this, and
watch her skill sets justcompletely take their full
fruition and form.
(09:23):
And like, I was like, I want todo a podcast.
She's like, oh yeah, I've donethose before.
I want to do this.
And she's like, oh yeah, I'vedone, I've done some of that
before, and just watch that allunfold in the true form of an
alchemist.
And so much more than that, youknow, like I feel like we have
given ourselves these titles,you know, Chantelle being our
(09:44):
mystic and Isabel being our umalchemist and myself being the
visionary.
And and, you know, that's justlike one archetype of the many
that we hold, right?
And so I just want to welcome inthe dynamicness of all of us of
going, yes, Isabel's been ouralchemist, but she has been so
(10:08):
much more than that.
She has been a freaking amazingteacher and coach.
And I know she has not onlypulled me personally out of dark
places and spaces, but so manyof our students.
And I just want everyone to knowhow much she has honored and
(10:28):
transformed everything that wehave created and touched here
through Reiki Cafe Universityand Moonrising Shamanic
Institute.
Like we would not, we would notbe where we are without the
fullness of her energy beyondthe alchemist.
So I really truly honor, honorall of the wisdom, all of the
gifts, all of the ways that youshow up in the world and how you
(10:51):
have shared that with us and onour team and in our spaces and
in our community.
Like it's been it's been reallybeautiful.
I'm really grateful.
SPEAKER_03 (11:01):
Thank you.
I have to say on my part, and Iknow in our ceremony, I even
said it about like your patienceto be able to help people with
tech issues, like especially forme when I'm like, hey, I don't
know how to do this, I can't dothat.
And I've you know, there's beentimes where I'm like waiting for
you to come back, like, oh mygosh, Antel, and you never have.
(11:24):
You've always just been like,okay, I got that.
Let me send this your way.
And I have to say I really doappreciate that because you
know, um a more resistant heartwould be coming back at somebody
and in a way that would makethem feel small, and you never
did.
(11:44):
And so, you know, I know thatmay seem small, but here in a a
world that is all online thatit, you know, I never really
embraced, you know.
I mean, I just not a part oflike the generation of what I,
you know, I grew up with the itbeing introduced, not like you
guys come in, a differentgeneration comes in with it
(12:06):
already.
You're online, and I had to beplugged in.
And I appreciate you plugging mein because I needed it.
And I still have a lot to go,but I know I can always reach
out to you and be like, hey,help me here.
I got your back, girl.
And I love that.
I love that this is ending onthat note, and I don't even want
to say ending, but that thetransition is there on that
(12:29):
there is no ill will, there's noanimosity, there's no nothing.
And I know I've had some peoplelike, what's going on?
I'm like, nothing.
She's growing, she's doing herthing, and I love that.
And so um I just I want everyoneto hear that that this is such a
good thing, and and we all getto witness it and to journey
(12:50):
with you in a different way.
SPEAKER_01 (12:53):
Yeah, absolutely.
And it's you know, it's funnyyou bring that up because I was
thinking back to like Christinewas saying at the very, very
beginning where we didn't evenknow you yet, Chantel.
And and I just had thisintuitive nudge of, hey, you
know what you need to do, youneed to message this random
woman on the internet thatyou've never seen before and see
(13:13):
if she needs help.
And and she did.
And it was the start of we'realmost past, no, we are past,
we're past five and a halfyears.
So we're if we're round up, wewe can say six years.
It's been, you know, six yearsof our lives that have been
molded and shaped by thatintuitive nudge to to just
(13:33):
message somebody for no apparentreason.
And this has that same feelingto me, that same intuitive nudge
of, hey, there's this thing thatyou need to do that it might not
make sense, you know.
Message a woman you've never meton the internet, but look, look
where it brought us, you know,and look at how much was born
(13:54):
out of following that intuitiveimpulse.
And and I just it it really doeshave that same feeling of
there's so much waiting for notjust me, but for all of us on
the other side of thistransition.
And I know that we've all beenfeeling it this year, all of the
transitions that we've had inour personal lives, and Lord
(14:16):
knows this eclipse season tookall three of us for, you know,
gave us a run for our money.
And and through that, it hasbeen so beautiful to watch how
we've all continued to lean oneach other and and process with
each other and work with eachother and and rely on each
other's gifts, like Christinewas saying, and hold space for
(14:39):
each of us to be the fullestexpression of who we are, and
that that extends even intoholding space for when it's time
to transition into somethingnew.
We're we're right there for eachother and holding space and
leaning into the curiosity ofwhat comes next while
acknowledging the grief of youknow what we're losing in that
transition and all of theincredible memories that have
(15:02):
come over the last six years.
And so it really is, I have tosay it's been a really beautiful
process of just witnessing everysingle emotion that has come
with this transition and andwith this new season of life
that's coming.
You know, it's it's I thinkthat's something that we don't
talk about very much, is howthese intuitive nudges
(15:24):
oftentimes, you know, they theyring us out a little bit.
They bring up every possibleemotion and all of our
connections and they call us torely on each other and to stand
in our community more.
And and I really love that we'vegotten to do that in a way
that's not only so true to thethree of us, but also in a way
that our community can see so wecan really bring forward that
(15:45):
energy of what a beautiful teamwe've been and what a beautiful
thing we've created and theenergy and the love that we have
for each other.
SPEAKER_00 (15:53):
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
And I feel like we definitely umI just recognize when spirit
gives me a calling, likesometimes it's not this instant,
like, okay, I'm gonna go to thething.
Like, oftentimes when divineinspiration hits me, I'm like,
you gotta be kidding me.
Like, right.
(16:14):
Like, I wanna, I wanna fightabout it.
I want to drag my feet, I wantto like bitch and complain a
little bit and be like, allright, fine, you know, and it
that's okay.
Like everyone can be in theirown process of what that looks
like for them.
And I know that even this lastspring at the beginning of the
year, like I was like, Oh, I'msupposed to do in-person stuff
(16:35):
again.
Like, I don't really want to dothat.
And then I'm like starting like,oh, yeah, I do love this too.
Like, fine, okay, right.
And so, like, it's all of thesedifferent spaces where we get to
recognize our authentic selvesand our own authentic process
and how we want to show up, andcontinuing to say yes to our
evolution and to our growth andto our own personal development
(16:58):
and recognizing those places andspaces within ourselves that
might feel sticky and go, okay,I've got something to recognize
in all of this and be okay withcommunicating about it and being
where you're at and stillseeking that space for I can be
compassionate with myself and Ican be compassionate with others
(17:20):
and I can love the process, eventhough it might not feel it
doesn't always feel good, right?
But that doesn't mean that weare um not loving on one
another, you know, that likeit's hard sometimes when um when
I've uh when I'm in my own likestruggle with my spirit guides.
(17:42):
Like I think that's I don't knowif that's a unique experience,
but when I'm I'm like they'retelling me to go down this path
and I'm like, I don't want to.
And I love that like Isabel,like she got the call, and
there's like it's such a adifferent reaction.
You're like, I always see youget like that divine
inspiration, and you're like,okay, well, I'm gonna do this,
(18:03):
I'm gonna do this uh nervoussystem series, and I'm like,
cool.
And there's not this big um uhlike fight about it.
And I definitely I'm I'm alwaysfighting with my like next call.
I'm like, really?
Okay.
And so I just I want to honorthat in you that like it's so
(18:23):
much, it seems to be, and maybeI'm wrong, but it seems to be so
much easier for you to say yesto your path, your direction.
And I just love that.
And I love that everyone gets tobe themselves in it.
SPEAKER_01 (18:41):
Yeah.
And you know, it's it's like Isaid, it's just it's been really
beautiful to watch that stage ofcompletion, especially I I'm
loving the symbolism of the factthat this is happening right
after we stepped into fall in,you know, earth, earth time,
because it really, it reallydoes just feel like this, you
(19:02):
know, I everybody knows from mystories that I've shared about
what's happened in my life.
There are so many times wheretransitions that have happened
in my life I've not been readyfor.
They've just kind of blindsidedme and felt like, you know, if
you follow numerology that theycaught me at the five instead of
the nine, you know, and and Ifeel like this is a journey that
I've really gotten to see allthe way through to that nine and
(19:24):
and being able to, you know,even at our ceremony today when
Chantal was doing our teamceremony, it it's ended right at
9.09, her time, you know, andjust the the beautiful symbolism
of being able to see somethingto completion.
And it certainly wasn't thecompletion that my mind thought
it was gonna be, but my soul hasjust been so clear in what's
(19:47):
coming.
And and I've been so grateful tobe able to watch it unfold over
the course of the year.
You know, there's just been somany little signs and nudges and
conversations and and justeverything leading us to this
point where it just feels like areally natural, a really natural
conclusion and a really naturaltime for this transformation to
(20:08):
take place.
And I'm I'm really just so, Ihave to say, I'm so incredibly
grateful for you guys, for thefor the two of you, for the
space that you hold.
I'm grateful for our community,for our students, for letting me
teach and share and have mylittle, you know, soapbox
moments and getting to engagewith the energy and and really
(20:30):
explore and express who I am asa teacher and as a leader and as
a guide and and all of thesethings.
And, you know, it's it'sabsolutely true to say that I
would not be the person that Iam today if I hadn't had the
last six years to shape me andmy energy and the way that I see
things and the way that I showup and have a space where even
(20:52):
when my life was really hard alot of times over the last six
years, I had a space where I wascalled to show up and stand in
my highest light.
And you know, the camera comeson and and I'm that teacher and
I'm that guide.
And having that space where Icould not escape to, but come to
to be reminded of who I truly amwas such a blessing.
(21:14):
And I'm really grateful thatI've had that anchor to hold on
to when I needed it over thelast six years.
I love that.
SPEAKER_03 (21:24):
I love that you were able to create a space.
I mean, I know energetically andcollectively the three of us
have, but that for yourself, youhad that space that you could
come to and know that it wasgonna anchor it at you in.
It was gonna remind you of whoyou are because we can get lost
in our stuff and our emotionsand our, you know, our trauma
(21:44):
moments and and want to justlike run away.
But instead you did.
You always just you've alwaysjust shown up.
And you were always very clearwhen you're like, I just need me
time for a minute, but you wouldalways come still.
Like, what do you need before Itake my me time?
Do you guys need anything beforeI like take the next day off or
a couple of days off?
(22:05):
And you'd be like, no, go doyou.
And I always like I all havealways seen that in you is that
you always want to make surethat everyone around you is
taken care of, even if it meansyou're taking care of them
before you're putting yourselffirst.
And I see that you're now you'reputting yourself first.
And that's beautiful because ittakes a long time for a lot of
(22:28):
people to understand what thatmeans to put yourself first.
And I just see this as a greatinvitation for our community to
recognize that and to know thatyou can put yourself first
sometimes.
And it doesn't mean it's becauseyou're leaving with a heart and
heart.
It just means like, you know,there's just something else out
there too to go explore and tobe curious about and to go learn
(22:52):
from.
And other teachers and mentorsare gonna cross your path and
you're gonna cross theirs.
And there's just so much that'sgonna come forward.
And this has also been anopening, a catalyst for the
three of us to venture off on,even though I'm staying and
Christine staying, we're here,but that in our own way, we're
also walking a differentjourney, you know, and and so
(23:15):
it's it's beautiful.
And and I don't know, like Ikeep saying, I just I see a
meeting point in the future atsome point, and whatever that
becomes, it becomes.
But I invite that, I'm open tothat, however that is, and um
even if it's just being a gueston your podcast or you coming
back and visit and visiting uson ours, you know, like I just
(23:37):
see that it's um no longerentangled, but definitely
standing in our sovereign powerwith each other.
SPEAKER_00 (23:46):
So yeah, yeah.
I had um our retreat host sendme a video yesterday via text
about from like a memories fromher phone.
And I had to post it yesterdaybecause it just went to show
like just a beautifulhighlighted moment of when all
(24:06):
of our energies were togetherand we were making magic, and
everything felt like it was suchin this beautiful flow state.
Like it was so easy, it was theeasiest retreat I've ever put
on, and it was the magic betweenthe three of us, you know.
And I I posted it and I waslike, you know, I could see us
(24:28):
coming back together to dosomething like this again at
some point.
Not that there's any pressureto, but also like I recognize
that there is this magic of whenwe can come together and play
together and um know that we canall stand in our authentic truth
and sovereignty and expressionand whatever we are creating in
(24:51):
our lives that this can be umthat there's gonna be places and
spaces where the the weavingsmight come back and and and that
would be welcome, you know.
SPEAKER_01 (25:04):
Absolutely.
And and I have to say, I reallyam so excited.
Like I keep just getting the thelittle happy like jitters to see
what happens with moon risingfrom here, you know.
It was it it really was so hardto come, you know, to
Christine's point about myintuition, it was really hard to
come around to the fact thatlike, oh, you know, it moon
(25:27):
rising is we just celebrated ourfirst anniversary, but I've been
working behind the scenes on onmaking it happen for two years,
and and of course Reiki Cafebefore that, but it there's
there's such a big piece of whoI am and such a big piece of my
heart in Moonrising.
And it did take a minute torecognize that okay, it's not
(25:48):
it's not meant to be mineanymore.
And but I do have to say thatI'm just so excited to see where
you guys take it from here.
Like I'm I'm so excited to stillbe in the Facebook group and be
an avid podcast listener and andreally just watch what happens
next because I can just feelthat energy of excitement and
(26:10):
new beginnings and this spaceopening up for something new.
And I'm really I'm I'm I thinkjust as much as everybody else
is kind of sitting on the edgeof their chairs wondering what's
gonna happen next, I really amtoo.
And I'm really excited to seethe kinds of magic that you guys
have in store for what was ourcommunity and is now gonna be
your community, and and and justholding space for your gifts to
(26:35):
come through and your teachingsto come through and and seeing
what you're gonna fill the spacewith.
I'm I'm just I'm really excitedto see what happens next.
SPEAKER_03 (26:48):
I remember when um so when I finished what was SRPT
back then, um and then Christinecalled and left me a message
saying that she wanted to inviteasked me to be her apprentice,
and then I think I had to dosome form of um meeting or
something with you, Isabel, andthen you're like, I don't
(27:10):
Christine, like I really thinkyou need to call Chantel.
And I remember just filling inthe moment, like the excitement
of it, but but I at that pointit was like, really me?
Because you know, it was justit's all of that that starts
unfolding and who I think we seeourselves as.
And then when you get to see ouryour reflection in someone else,
(27:33):
it's like wow, you know, it'slike coming back to we are the
mirrors of each other, and andso when you can see your own
reflection in somebody else andthrough somebody else, it's so
beautiful, and so um I love whoI see in you two and and what
our community has become and howwe do show up, and so it's just
(27:57):
knowing that those mirrors arejust gonna reflect a little
further out, but yeah, it'sstill there, it's still there.
It's like even right now, I'mlike seeing these like three
mountains in this reflection,you know.
And I'm like, all right, I'llsee you in the distance, we're
always gonna be right there.
SPEAKER_00 (28:15):
So yeah, there's definitely this piece of I don't
first see Moon Rising goinganywhere, you know, where it's
still gonna be this um stablespace of our group and our
courses and all of the thingsthat that we provide.
And I just can't wait to see howGateway Isabelle's um new
(28:40):
company unfolds and becomes itsown beautiful source of wisdom
provided for her own communityand sprinkled into ours.
And like I just love that umthis is this is done in such a
way of honoring, you know.
Like right now, I'm looking atthe chat box of going, oh no,
such a change for you all.
(29:01):
And it's like, this isn't an ohno, this is a moment of
celebrating exactly who we areand allowing people to change
and evolve into who they'remeant to be, right?
So this is a yes, go, please.
If this is what you're callingis, be all of who you are in all
the ways that you want to be, inall the places that you want to
(29:23):
be.
And it's not that we're notgonna miss those pieces or that
energy that Isabel brings to thetable table, but we also don't
want to uh stagnate or suppressor any of those things of her
full potential and where she'sbeing called by the divine, you
know, and so I'm gonna honorthose nearly six years of time
(29:46):
together and go thank you, thankyou, thank you.
I'm in such a space of gratitudeand honoring um that uh I want I
want to see the the new evolvedversion.
Of Isabel as she steps in thegateway.
SPEAKER_01 (30:04):
Yeah.
I love that.
And you know, it really is alsopart of why I was so gung-ho on
making that change andtransition, is because we we all
need somebody to look to for.
And I don't want to say that weneed the permission, but our
minds like to have someone wecan look to and say, look, they
(30:25):
did it.
They made the decision.
They followed their intuition.
They stepped into the highestversion of themselves.
And the three of us have alwaysbeen that for our community.
You know, that's always been thevalue that we hold is showing up
as our truest selves and stayingtrue to what's most aligned.
And Lord knows we've made somany pivots over time because
(30:46):
it's what needed to happen tostay in alignment and different
courses we've created anddifferent ways that we've shown
up and different podcast ideas.
And there's just, there's somuch that we have done to stay
in true alignment to who we are.
But but knowing that we're we'restaying in that truest and
highest alignment with who weare, not just for ourselves, but
(31:09):
also what's in the best andhighest alignment for Moon
Rising.
And it's like it would be doinga disservice to not follow and
continue to stay in thatalignment and continue to trust
that intuition, even if it takesme or us or or any of it
somewhere else, you know.
And it's like I know that ifthat, I know that if that nudge,
if that message had come throughfor Christine or Chantel, they
(31:32):
would have done the same thingbecause of that commitment to
staying in alignment andhonoring our highest and most,
you know, authentic selves.
And I almost hate sayingauthentic self because it's kind
of become a buzzword lately, butlike that that just fullest
expression of knowing thatyou're allowed to show up
however you're gonna show up.
And life is way too short to putyourself in a situation that
(31:55):
doesn't feel aligned.
And just because a situationdoesn't feel aligned doesn't
mean that it was bad.
You know what I mean?
It's not like there's atransition because something was
an oh no.
Like Christine said, it's justthat sometimes your alignment
shifts.
And because we're so committedto that, that's the choice that
we're making is to continuefollowing that alignment and
(32:16):
making space for, you know, moonrising to continue to be the
greatest and highest that it canbe.
As I'm stepping into makingGateway the greatest and highest
that it can be, and followingthose intuitive nudges and
divine messages and letting goof that mental control so that
our souls can surprise anddelight us along the way to
whatever's coming next.
SPEAKER_03 (32:37):
Yeah, yeah.
It really brings true of what itmeans to release what no longer
serves.
Um, recently I had aconversation with someone and
they were saying, I don't likethat because that means I'm
releasing this, this, and that,and all the positive and the
good, the bad.
And this I go, no, what you'rereleasing, I go, you have to pay
attention to what no longerserves.
(32:58):
Because if you are holding on towhat no longer serves and you
can't truly stand in yourauthentic self, your alignment
of self, because you're holdingon too much, you know, and it's
time to let it go.
And honestly, energetically,we're energy beings.
We would all tune into theenergy of you not wanting to be
(33:19):
here because you feel that pullto go somewhere else.
So it is, it's a wonderful wayto be able to shift and pivot
out in your own terms withoutthe universe coming back and
saying, Hey, you've alreadyreceived how many nudges and
you're not listening.
So now we gotta like throw thestone at you, you know.
(33:39):
Instead, you're like, no, I'mgonna pay attention and I'm
gonna listen.
And that's what this work is allabout is for us to be able to
witness each other when we arereceiving those nudges and when
it is time to shift, pivot,whatever it is, that we can do
that.
And we can do it with grace andwe can do it in honoring of what
is being left as well as what'sbeing gained.
SPEAKER_00 (34:03):
Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely.
It's it's definitely a place andspace of this dance that we're
doing with the divine, with theuniverse, with the earth source
energy, and going, where am Imeant to be in this moment?
Where am I meant to be in thistime?
Where can I shine my truth?
Where can I shine my love, mycompassion, my purpose?
(34:26):
And and we each get to say yesto that.
Yeah, we are.
We're all saying yes.
SPEAKER_01 (34:37):
Well, Chantal, is it time for a reading?
Yeah, let's do it.
SPEAKER_03 (34:44):
Okay.
Let me see what I want to pull.
So this reading is with theintention of what and how we are
moving forward, what's to comein a positive light for us each,
as well as Moon Rising, for agateway, for our community.
(35:08):
Oh, right off the bat, we gotsoul retrieval.
So we are we are callingourselves back home.
And if I stopped right there,that would be enough.
SPEAKER_01 (35:21):
You're like, that's done.
SPEAKER_03 (35:22):
One card, we're good.
One card, we are, we're standinglike how she is looking at the
light moving forward, you know,and calling ourselves.
That is what this is about.
Let's see what else is comingforward as we are moving forward
in our journey.
(35:46):
Yeah, that golden light, therays that are going to shine
from each one of us, from ourbusinesses, like this is so
heartfelt, and knowing that thatgolden light is shining through
us from us, and that comes fromthat soul retrieval because
we're paying attention to thenudges.
We're walking, we're walking thejourney of spirit.
(36:13):
Yeah, and this life force, andas that snake is weaving its
way, it's Kumalini, the lifeforce that is truly connecting
in the energy within the heartspace, and as it's moving its
way up into the crown chakra.
(36:35):
So we are shifting from what isseen, like the surface of
everything, to what is unknown,unseen, and I love that.
So there's so much that's comingforward for us.
Um each of us to witness what isto be exposed, to be opened,
(36:59):
gifts that will start to revealthemselves in the deeper aspects
of ourselves as well.
Oh interesting.
So as I'm pulling this, um I'malso seeing um visionary.
(37:30):
So that's interesting how thatjust showed itself.
Like, yeah, the weaving of thelight, the uh okay.
So access clear thinking, andthis is where we are, and how
she holds that ball of yarn, andwe can unweave it and follow the
threads that are calling usforward.
(37:52):
One new beginnings.
Yes, being able to pivot wherewe need to pivot.
Love it, transformation comingforward, stepping into the
unknown.
So that's all just beautifulmessages, listening to your
(38:14):
guardian angel.
SPEAKER_02 (38:19):
Let's see what else we have.
SPEAKER_03 (38:24):
The cycle breaker.
There you go, Isabel.
That's you, the cycle breaker.
So you'll get through it.
The cycle is ending, and I lovehow there's three women stacked
up and representing the trilogyof us, the triad.
(38:45):
Releasing the past.
We got that in the um when wewere together.
Yeah.
The energy is transforming, it'sbeing transmuted, and I love how
the light is above and below.
So we're connecting.
This is like that pillar oflight that's coming forward for
us, and the holy mountain.
Both of these came through inour original reading.
(39:08):
So the releasing of the past andthe holy mountain, this is our
soul calling, your sacredjourney and pilgrimage.
Let me see what we have for me.
SPEAKER_02 (39:38):
Okay.
That was crazy.
There's a lot to be said.
I know, I love it.
Let me just like, I am droppingto the floor.
SPEAKER_03 (39:49):
Let me grab these.
Okay.
See what we have.
Oh, yeah, the page of swords.
So this is like stepping intonew ideas, new thoughts, like
really taking the platform forthat, releasing any judgment of,
and I'm feeling like judgment oflike self or the situation, but
(40:10):
it's letting that go because aswe step forward into new ideas,
it's letting go of thatexpectation, right?
And it's just being in flow withit.
Yes, the resting, the four ofswords of being able to just
kick back and enjoy the journeyversus being like work, work,
work or being stuck in theheadspace.
(40:31):
The three of us, the three ofcups, celebrating our journey
right here, right now.
And this one also came up, thereminiscing, right?
Staying heart-centered, stayingconnected with each other and
having that friendship that thatlasts beyond here, right?
And let's see, I think that'sit.
(40:53):
Let me split the deck and see.
Yeah, the three of wands.
I love how we're getting thesethrees, like it's representing.
So the three of wands is us eachhaving our own vision of where
we all want to be and at thesame time.
Yeah, it's just it's beautiful.
Yeah, very good.
(41:15):
Top of the deck, moving inabundance.
Very good.
How's that feel?
Does that feel complete?
Do you have any questions?
I love it.
I love it.
SPEAKER_00 (41:27):
It does feel complete.
Yeah, it does.
SPEAKER_03 (41:33):
Like open heart complete.
SPEAKER_00 (41:36):
Yeah, absolutely.
So before we came on, we were webegan in ceremony, and with
that, we did a heart salutationand calling of the directions.
And I would love this to toinvite Isabel to do a closing of
the directions and a witnessingof us doing our final heart
(41:59):
salutation with one another.
So, Isabel, if you arecomfortable with that, I'd love
you to invite you to the closingof the directions for us.
SPEAKER_01 (42:10):
Beautiful.
And before we do that, I do justagain want to take a moment to
honor each of you, to honor you,Christine, to honor you,
Chantelle, to honor the spacethat we've created, the energy
that we've shared, the memoriesthat we have together over the
last six years, to honor thecommunity, to everyone who's
(42:30):
listening and witnessing us andsharing space with us and
knowing that I'm not going awaycompletely.
I'll still be in the group.
I'm sure that, like Chantelsaid, there'll probably be some
future podcast appearances andshares, but I really do just
want to honor the completion ofthis moment and the completion
(42:51):
of what we've created and whatwe've experienced over the last
six years, knowing that like westarted today's conversation
with, we really are at that ninestage.
We really are at that space ofcompletion and ending and
knowing that it's all happeningin perfect divine timing,
exactly as it was meant to, andthat we're all about to step
(43:13):
into, you know, I know it'stechnically zero, but I want to
say into our ten, you know, likeinto our next evolution, our
next expansion, our next step ofwhat's coming next for the
greatest and highest good ofeach one of us.
And I really just want to honorwhere we've come from and hold
that gratitude for where we arenow and that excitement for
where we're going next.
(43:34):
And and just holding that spaceas as we close our ceremony and
close our circle with so muchlove for each and every one of
you.
SPEAKER_00 (43:43):
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you.
SPEAKER_01 (43:47):
Beautiful.
So, with that said, let's goahead and close our eyes.
We can sit back in our chairs,let your shoulders drop away
from your ears.
SPEAKER_03 (44:02):
Yeah, beautiful.
SPEAKER_01 (44:08):
Unclenching your jaw, relaxing the muscles in
your face, letting your handsrelax, your chest relax, your
belly relax.
Taking a moment to feel in toyourself, no matter when or
where this audio, this video isreaching you, and just feeling
(44:32):
whatever feels complete inyourself.
Feeling what's ready to come toa close, what's ready to open up
a space for something new totake its place.
Feeling the alchemy that'shappening here and now of
anything that might be heavy,anything that's no longer
serving, feeling it be honored,acknowledged, and transmuted
(44:57):
into something new, somethinglight, something with that spark
of knowing, remembrance andrecognition of who we truly are.
Feeling that gratitude and thatlove expand and fill the space
as we think our directions,knowing that as we're closing,
(45:19):
our directions will go in theopposite order that we called
them in.
So we'll start with our spiritsfrom below.
We call to our power animals,mythical creatures, nature
spirits, friends of the lowerworld, those who offer us
protection and guidance, thosewho have stood with us, lent us
their power, shown us the waythrough metaphor and symbolism.

us of who we truly are,reminding us of that essence,
