Greetings everyone! We have some exciting news to share!
In honour of these more collaborative times that we step into, Dharma STARS are opening their platform and hopefully, doors, to more people and offerings!
This article is going to focus on our Sanctuaries and School project which is our next important milestone in our evolution, 4 years on from when we first began our initiative.
Context
Last year Padma received a gift of some money that means that her dreams of having a base to help to anchor energies for the Golden Age and help provide deeper offerings and teachings has now matured to go into the next organic stages of co-creation.
While the sum of money is a modest amount for current times it means that Padma has enough to make a bedroom somewhere which makes her very happy. Padma has been a nomad since 2008 and in recent times some of you will know that she has sustained injuries from all the years of carrying heavy luggage to travel in service without transport of her own. This is seen as a further sign as the body is now saying ‘no’ that a new stage is beginning. Padma is getting ready to travel less, to weave knowledge and we wish to help people crystallise their spiritual development by committing to more focused in-person learning and transformation.
Whilst nothing is fully in motion yet, we can confirm that a new exciting chapter is beginning and we’d love for you to get actively involved
The countdown begins!
We will be working hard in the coming years to create the conditions for more financial abundance and like-minded visionaries who wish to come to add to the cosmic bedroom. We aspire, in Aquarian age fashion, to create a metaphysical sanctuary that will be manageable in size and capacity but have far-reaching results for our collective endeavours!
What we yearn for greatly is that we can ‘be the change we wish to see’ by creating small sanctuary/schools of metaphysical and transformational systems of excellence.
We see so many people who wish to be seen, to be ‘liked’ by millions of followers. Really, our aspiration is something very different from that. We are entering into a profound aspiration journey towards smaller spaces that are not about an ‘experience’ but that really provide that in-person spiritual midwifery and presence that is lacking in commodified spiritual settings.
We know that this is what we are committed to and the universe is now nudging us daily to begin this anchoring phase - and somehow to magnetise the right resonant people, financial input and resources to realise this vision.
Honouring Natural Law and providing a good practice paradigm through the process
We have spent numerous decades mapping community projects, ashrams, dharma centres, intentional communities. Now, this exploration will be applied and documented, sharing teachings and insights from earth guardians, tribes, visionaries and spirit workers as to how to undertake such processes in (we hope) a mindful and decolonised way.
We’ll be documenting part of this journey as a teaching on how to integrate indigenous science, permaculture, metaphysics and much more as we take to the roads, seas and air to survey the energies and hopefully create the right karmic conditions to bring the first sanctuary school into fruition!
Extensive divination has been taking place behind the scenes and we are soon ready to go on our first exploration visit.
So - in October 2025 we begin to officially under go this process of applying divination, earth-work, astrology and permaculture to enter elegant flow to embark on this journey. No attachment to the outcome in terms of location - just a knowing that the timeline is now open to begin to survey.
To WHERE????
Guidance is that we are to open up this journey in Greece - birthplace of metaphysics.
In October, a divination team of 3 of us will be visiting 3 islands to give offerings and begin the multi-realm discussion. Padma will then stay on a little longer to commit to deeper vision quest with the land and energies on the island of Patmos.
While we do not feel the areas we visit are the longer term project location we see the metaphysical significance of being guided to begin there, and we are excited to share on more of that in the coming months as this is likely to bring a whole new phase of attunements and spiritual initiations for YOU from 2026!
Preliminary Stage
Padma and Maaike spent numerous weeks in Greece during COVID time to begin to tune in as to a metaphysical base in the future. Energetic connection established through offerings in Crete, Corfu and on Mainland, including in Delphi.
Stage 1 - Divination, visits, earth offerings, vision quests with the land and timelines and honouring natural magnetism and resonance to show us the way - Likely to be about 18 months.
Visiting clusters of islands and then integrating and meditating and waiting for signs and where applicable, invitation to proceed from the lands.
In October we will visit 4 islands to connect with keys and energies and to seek larger permission energetically for a deeper exploration phase in 2026. Divination has revealed that the first divination and energetic mission will be to
- Kos - Birth place of Hippocrates - Father of Medical Ethics and Practice
- Samos -Birth place of Pythagoras - Fusion of mathematics with spiritual beliefs including concepts of transmigration of the soul (reincarnation)
- Ikaria - a Blue Zone - famed for its healthy lifestyle and longevity of inhabitants. Connected to the myth of Icarus (who became a bit of a show off and flew too close to the sun - i.e. need for us all to keep humble!)
- Patmos - Where St John received the esoteric codes and keys that became encoded in Revelation in the Bible. Has some allusions to the ‘New Earth’
Stage 2 - Spring 2026 - Visit to Ionian Islands
Stage 3 and beyond - Deeper engagement from Dharma STARS students, investors and affiliates
- Initiation retreat, Autumn 2026
- Longer visits and activities and meeting local communities and wisdom keepers in shortlisted areas. Pilgrimage and co-working opportunities
- In the later part of this stage Dharma STARS students and practitioners who wish to come to connect are invited to participate and dream.
- One year Mapping and Observation residence with visits from Dharma STARS affiliates and possible community work in the identified area.
- Purchase of property/land
Some basics about the space
So far guidance is seeming to be as follows (but it could change!):
- A modest-sized space -probably around 5 bedrooms with opportunities on occasion for other students and participants to stay in local accommodation.
- Access to learning resources, mentoring, one-to-one support, tantric weavings, selfless service, applied dharma, peer-to-peer learning.
- A place to develop healthy routines in a held environment focusing on self-responsibility and adequate introspection time, not over-dramatization of processes and externalisation.
- Access to specialised teachings, course residentials and completion stage immersions in the 4 pillar path from Artha to Kama to Dharma to Moksha
- A hub for questing with metaphysical topics
- A rebalancing station for yin-yang energies. Honouring decolonised and non-sectarian approaches to metaphysics
- A refuge to assist a process of renunciation from the trappings of ‘samsaric’ society to gain robustness to walk a spiritual path in contemporary settings
- A meeting point for practitioners who are keen to upskill and dedicated to moving beyond the Artha and Kama stage of their journey
There is much more we could share now and we will be documenting the process as a learning resource. Please express interest to be kept in the loop about this project by emailing [email redacted]
How you can help establish a good karmic connection with this sanctuary - Our merit opportunity is launched!
Right now with the early stages being very much about connecting with the lands, conducting offering ceremonies and exploring and divination we need some assistance for overheads that are above our current income and expenditure levels.
Did you know that in terms of being aligned with cosmic law it is recommended that each person offers a tithe of minimum 10% of all their earnings/income to spiritual and good causes?
Ironically, people complain of not being abundant but often reinforce lack in their lives because they are stingy and not generous enough. On August 24th we’ll be running an online ANEW session about the miracles and magic that unfold when you enter into generosity and selflessness. All proceeds of this session will go into our affiliated hubs project of which ⅔ will be put into our crowdfunder campaign. Right here, right now, we offer you a solution to this already through this newly launched support-programme.
Also, when we donate to good causes we often are conducting remedies to negative karma and often there will be almost instantaneous positive outcomes from our generous giving.
By opting in to support us along the way you will help to create causes and conditions to be able to be more connected to the project.
Right now we are requesting some support for car hire, extra accommodation costs (over our combined budget) and occasional ferry costs. We are self-funding 90% at this stage and we are requesting (in order to help your karmic conditions to create higher opportunities) 10% of the overall expedition expenses for Stage 1 and Stage 2. As Madalena is on a low income we need to subsidise her trip as a main priority.
Trip One - Pilgrimage and Offering Phase Cost approximately £4000 (3 people) - Therefore we are requesting £400 minimum to support the team. Any extra is welcomed to support Padma on Vision quest for 10 days in Patmos further tuning in with the energies. (Further £100 would be amazing!)
Trip Two - First expedition phase (longer trip: 1 month not 2 weeks) Cost approximately £5000 - £7000 for 3 people. We are requesting £1000 as subsidy in this trip as there is more car hire and transport required as the scouting intensifies
Total requested for Crowdfunder between now and June 2026 - £1500
From June 2026 we will enter the next stage which will then be inaugurated in Autumn 2026 and is likely to include some retreats, offerings and expeditions for students and clients! We are very excited as some deep insights are being received and we will launch them after our first trip!
We’ll also have some zoom calls to share more about this long-term project which is also being delivered in alignment with the ARTHA and the 4 Pillars to Transfiguration programme.
We are so glad to have had these months to receive this guidance and we really hope it inspires you to get more involved with these lighthouses for the Golden Age! Please do help us in this exploratory stage so that we can help to create the conditions for a communal sanctuary for us all to cultivate to transcendence and mastery. We are fully on board to hold this space to help us all take our development to the next level but we need your help to realise the vision completely!
