Celebrating Four Years Living In Portugal Port-Of-Grail

Four years ago, we arrived here in Portugal with very little sense of how it would be here or even much orientation to this country at all before then. We had received guidance in April, 2021 that it was time to move on from

Glastonbury, UK and yet to stay in Europe to serve here, especially to connect to the soul grids and soul family here.

Portugal came up as the 'doorway to the grail', more sustainable/affordable living, better weather, and to connect to it as a beloved coastal landing space for the Magdalenes.

We followed this guidance as we always do when major life changes come through from the Divine....with a sense of surrender and a bit of tension/fear in parts of us too that we needed to be with and respond to. Raphael and I had envisioned that we would spend the summer moving throughout the country, camping and staying in places as we were guided until the fall when we would settle somewhere as community.

Instead the strong frequencies of Gaia here along with a deep need to digest our karmic healing and soul activation experiences in Glastonbury/Avalon guided us to spend the entire summer in one campground in Northern Portugal and to live there as a community. We humbled to living in tents for three months, letting Nature teach and guide us. The purity and high frequency of the river; the sheer beauty of the mountains; the warmth of the people...all of it worked on us at deep levels of clearing.

After summer was over, we moved into the two beautiful spaces in this village in remote central Portugal and had instant alchemy and good will with a local builder/homeowner here for which so much has unfolded since then. Mimosa house (named after a bright yellow flower that blooms here in mountains in the Spring) was the home temple for Raphael and I for over three and a half years…the longest we have ever lived in one place together.

And now, Raianna and Kasha have joined us to live in Harmonia House in the same village which is actually the same house we originally landed after the campground! They live in their own two bedroom suite together above our suite with a future temple loft space on the third floor plus three shared balconies and beautiful land for outdoor camping and ceremonies under ancient Pine and Oak trees.

Settling into this mountain valley near our beloved Mont Alto vortex (with Mother Mary chapel on top and grotto on the face of it) and now on the wilder dragon ley line of these lands has felt like being held in Divine Mother's nest as the deep Marian frequencies here invited us to go more monk like and inward for a time for deeper karmic, emotional and physical clearing.

Over the years, We've held two-day long healing groups here as a community exploring emotional, soul, and energy healing together every single month since we’ve settled here (with different and shifting configurations of members), several Gathering retreats on the Equinoxes/Solstices (with souls coming from all over the world to join us) and sound healing/guided meditation evenings with locals last year.

As soon as we moved into our village, we experienced a deep reunion experience with a local stray black cat who claimed us immediately and we named Ravyn. We were taken on deep soul remembrance journeys with her as we invested in her health (and a bit costly vet bill) and committed to caring for her the rest of her life. She has become our beloved temple cat, offering so much loving to us, activating our heart chakras, and in sessions now too.

Her mate Leo (a big and kind hearted male ginger cat) joined us as well the next year, along with his offspring, the golden child Tania. All three cats came to us and chose us as rescues/feral/neglected/sickly and are now fixed/neutered, healthy and loved. And now Kasha and Raianna have multiple cats some from feeding/caring for the local stray cats here in the village. Our service has naturally extended to the feline community here too.

Since the beginning of the year, there has been a shift inside us and as a community to more inward focus, reset and timeline shifts of clarity around service draw wanting deeper resonance and readiness with those soul family drawn to us through sessions and virtual events plus organic synchs.

In this moment, I feel a deep appreciation for Portugal, the port-of-the-grail and how it has embraced us, supported us, and held us through sometimes necessary digestion and retraction phases, and then in the openings out too. The culture shock has been real at times plus the challenge of the language. Yet, the energies here are both ancient and progressive.

New Earth/Lemuria is seeding here too, which is why it draws so many 'eco-immigrants' to come here and live off-grid. I have the sense that this country really is planting the possibilities of New Earth/New Lemuria in a way that is unique in all of the world. Through connection with beloved sacred sites such as Bucaco Forest and Monastery, our local Folques monestary healing pools, Nazaré at the coast, Fraga da Pena, and more, we have never felt more grounded and connected to Gaia and our soul lineage as we do here.

From the moment Raphael and I crossed the border into Portugal and first put our feet in its crystal clear waters, we have felt like we were held in a golden code bubble of protection by the Magdalenes, Lemurians and our soul family. We are blessed to have been guided here as it has been 'easy' to be here and I look forward to the deepenings to come as a community and within myself in the years to come here!

This is our golden ark. This is beyond a 3D country with 3D borders. This is a sacred and protected space that holds the template of a way of living in more connection with the natural world and with spirit, integrated into the body, and grounded in the heart.

Following Divine guidance into the unknown fuelled by your soul’s desires leads often to temporary loss and certain change, yet offers such rich rewards in the receiving of those desires/dreams coming true!
