Origins of Dark Divinity
Bruce Lyon
My journey has led from the worlds of marine biology to psychology to spiritual and esoteric studies. The drive has been to understand, integrate and effectively live the complex relationship between human beings and their various environments from the physical to the metaphysical.
I have a BSc from Auckland University, an MSE and PHDE from the University of the Seven Rays, A Diploma of Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy as well as many other trainings in a multitude of traditions and disciplines. However my most profound teacher has been life, my relationships with inner and outer beings, nature and extensive travel through the world's cultures and cosmologies.
My evolution has taken me from a sense of deep shame in being human, given the way we seem to treat each other and the planet, to a profound sense of gratitude and a celebration of the human spirit. This evolution has been the result of meetings with remarkable human beings, some of them being my own children and grandchildren, who already embody a future potential for us all. It has also come from deep contact with the ground of being which shines its infinite and eternal dark light through all worlds and times.
My life work has centred around the evolutionary revelation of the principle of our dark divinity. As physics has evolved its understanding of the dark through black holes, dark energy and quantum flux, so metaphysics is also evolving our relationship and experience of god/goddess through the direct gnosis of the human spirit.
I have authored many books, founded Shamballa School and Highden Temple in NZ - a modern residential mystery school dedicated to soul initiation. I have been teaching around the world for the last three decades.
Janine Ma-Ree
Janine Ma-Ree has been facilitating transformational spaces for over 25 years. She supports people to live a life of spiritual, heart and embodiment integration. She has a passion for the mysteries of matter, nature/earth/land activation, the shamanic and the path of the mystic.
Her work is embedded with the frequencies of wild innocence and ecstatic resonance anchored in the primordial dark of the non dual.
Nine years ago Janine founded Red Earth Temple, a living temple of activated wild land.
The land is her teacher, her muse and co creator. The 125 acres of Red Earth, combined with the womb canyon thru the centre, and the Wild Innocence of the untamed bush, create a potent shamanic field for deep immersion, ritual and session work. Red Earth Temple is a land of wild innocence…a place to delve into the mysteries of matter and rewild the soul. The dreaming of this land is to support the descent into the primordial dark and deepen connection with the core of earth and galactic centre.
Janine created the Shamanic Womb Journey, Ecstatic Menopause work and is currently offering Holy Ground, Dark Apprenticeships, is dark point holder at Highden Mystery School and the global Temple Trainings, and creates/co creates other offerings as they emerge.
She draws on 30 years experience in wholistic health as a practitioner, facilitator and point holder of Spiritual Shamanic spaces and Mystery Schools as well as the many mentors, guides, teachers and experiences that she has been gifted on her life’s path.
