unnamedElana Auerbach

Elana Auerbach is a heart centered and gifted spiritual guide. Her own journey of remembrance and embodiment informs her work with others. Having spent her young adulthood getting a degree in Mathematics, as a management consultant, and as a banker on Wall Street, Elana knows intimately what it is to be in a place of soul disconnection (or as she puts it, “on the conveyor belt of life”) and then, to wake up and discover a path of ecstatic and embodied service.

Elana has been leading circles for over 14 years and has been mentoring with Ariel Spilsbury for more than 12 years. Elana is a Hebrew Priestess, practicing earth based Judaism, as well as a dedicated student of Zen. Elana weaves these three spiritual traditions into a beautiful tapestry that illuminates her work and guides her moment by moment awakening.

As a 13 Moon focalizer, Elana wields the sword of truth with compassion and clarity. Elana brings body based practices to the expanded awareness experience in circle, to support initiates in truly embodying, in their own unique way, the 13 Moon Archetypes. She also brings a strong focus on cultivating lineage gifts and engaging in daily practices so the awareness and insight you have in circle, permeate the rest of your life.

The services Elana provides as an Ordained Priestess include:

1) Life Transition Ceremonies including Officiating Weddings (including the Inner Marriage), Rites of Passage ~ Menarche, Pre~Birth Ceremony (for a Child or another Creation), Baby Blessing, etc.

2) Mediation Initiation ~ Elana creates a sacred container where conflict and separation become an occasion for awakening and intimacy. Combining her mediation & Initiator skills, Elana weaves an opportunity for resolution, heart opening and growth between you and your partner, family member, colleague, or whomever you may be in struggle and strife with.

3) Soul Mentoring ~ Sitting heart~to~heart to excavate the unconscious & the unknown to glean guidance & wisdom.

Elana is the Initiator Temple Keeper for the Sanctuary of the Open Heart. She also devotedly tends the flame of the Berkeley Yurt temple, where she lives with her loverman and son.

EDEN AMADORAEden Amadora

Eden Amadora is an ordained priestess and focalizer for the 13 Moon Mystery School. As an archetypal voice & embodiment coach, ceremonial singer, and prayer-formance artist with over 20 years of shamanic and yogic training, her work is in service to the awakening of the collective heart of humanity.

She is passionate about creating and holding sacred space for women to have an embodied experience of working with the archetypes of the Divine Feminine. It is her joy to witness the transformation that happens when they are supported to embody their most essential, radiant selves and express their authentic voices.

Eden is gifted at holding unconditionally loving space and simultaneously being a fierce voice of truth. She is the temple keeper of the Primal Goddess Temple in the Sanctuary of the Open Heart. Her empathic, instinctual nature brings her to sharing what she is perceiving through body wisdom. She holds the sword of the initiator and is not afraid to bring to awareness, the ways in which beings are presently unconsciously limiting their expression and spiritual growth.

Eden is a conduit for soul guidance, as she supports and mirrors her initiates. She lives with one foot in the archetypal realm, holding others in their highest essence helping them to transmute their shadow – or stuck old patterns – into more self-love and empowered presence, allowing them the freedom to fully live their unique mythic story.

Eden Amadora offers ceremonial circles, retreats, devotional temple days, and 1:1 sessions for women who are ready to rest into a more self-trusting place, awaken to their true beauty and embodied self-love, align with their soul purpose, and live into greater joy and connection to their essence, Source and sisterhood.
