Through The Lion’s Gate – Pre-Session
This episode was originally broadcast Aug 7, 2015 We’re at the peak of a big celestial alignment and Naomi Carling explains to Stephen and myself what this means and what to expect.

It was a fun way to get everyone settled and prepared for the journey to come, as well as a way to connect with us energetically.
