Everybody has a story, and I am honoured to share mine with you.
Where have I been?
I completed my primary and secondary education at an all-girls school: Mary Institute. I was considered a legacy given that my mother, maternal grandmother and maternal great-grandmother were also all Mary-I graduates. I left home and graduated with a liberal arts degree, garnished by a major in Psychology from Amherst College in 1995. Amherst allowed me the space and freedom to roam a selection of academic hinterlands: everything from hardcore neuroscience, to Freudian and Jungian psychology, to film studies, geology. There were my heavy affairs with the titans of English, French and Russian literature, cautious ventures into form drawing, and even (what I felt at the time to be) a whimsical dip into a course on Sufism. It was only in hindsight that I was able to see how all of this coursework implicated a deeper drive and underlying desire to understand what I could only define as "conscious awareness”: what it was, where it came from, the mechanics by which it operated, or how it could be explained epistemologically. Generally rejecting my protestant, midwest, suburban church upbringing this quest became, for a time, quite the empirical, rational and scientific endeavor.
And yet, burned out on the ivory tower trappings of elite academia, and mildly dissatisfied with the spoils of my liberal arts quest, I burned rubber until I hit the natural wonders of the largest wilderness in the lower 48, the mountain ranges just beyond Ketchum, Idaho. For four years, working nights as a waitress, I spent as much time as I possibly could in the Great Outdoors: backcountry skiing, rock climbing, hiking, mountain biking, river rafting , a most immersive and joyful time in my life (despite some young love heartbreak over a boyfriend or two). Then suddenly, during a blazing sunset over the jagged peaks of the Sawtooth Mountains it hit me: Yes the mountains helped me to find my true Self, but now I needed to be part of something bigger than myself. As much as I loved the lifestyle, chasing the pleasurable highs of the next powder day or summer summit just wasn’t going to cut the mustard.
So, from 2003–2009 I rejoined the Academy I thought I had left for good. I was accepted as a doctoral candidate in the UC Santa Cruz Department of Education and re-ignited my (as yet) agnostic quest to find out the elusive Truth: If we look past all the synaptic gaps, neurotransmitters and electron exchanges in the brain, what is the real essence of conscious awareness?
I wanted to know (in detail): What is it in humans that goes beyond the five senses to perceive and feel and know, to experience, exchange and remember?
I met my husband in Santa Cruz and got married, but the whispers of an Indigo Awakening finally blossomed with the birth of the first of my three daughters in 2009 (the same year I was awarded a doctorate after handing in a 400-page dissertation on symbolic mediation and intersubjectivity as the keys to meaning-making). My own spiritual awakening accelerated with the birth of each of my three daughters (all born three years apart, perfectly spanning the Capricorn Solstice in December 2012). It wasn’t long before the many early morning and late night “extra-curricular” investigations I was pursuing outside of my role at the University became the more compelling part of my existence.
Since that 2009 turning point, I have been initiated into several Reiki traditions starting with Usui Reiki (purportedly in another lifetime I was one of Dr. Mikao Usui’s original three students), and moving quickly through Angelic Reiki, Rainbow Reiki, Sekhem Healing (a reiki alternative), and Violet Flame Reiki (a spiritual healing system that combines Reiki energy with the transformative power of the Violet Flame). One of the most transformative periods of my life was the three years I spent (circa 2020) not practicing Reiki, but rather as a devoted student of Christ Consciousness in a pathway called the Way of Mastery, which led me quickly into embark into the Way of the Rose, balancing the divine masculine with the deep womb mysteries of the feminine. It was leading up to and during these inward facing introspective years that I simultaneously began to venture into more shamanic traditions attending native sweatlodges and partaking in various plant medicine journeys, including Ayahuasca. Here I must pause and pay my respects, like so many others, to the Columbian Andes-born shamaness and beloved abuela Xochiquetzalli (Susansa) who has carried the tradition of the Moondance and the Toltec pipe north (for the first time!) from Mexico to the shoulders of Mt Shasta where she and her twin flame husband, the devoted and oh-so musical Shimshai, now offer retreats on the land they lovingly steward. Just recently (Spring 2025) I completed a course with Xochiquetzalli in the Tonalamatl, the Aztec equivalent of the Mayan system of calendars, timekeeping and divination.
All of these experiences have allowed me to interweave the sophianic wisdom embodied in Gaia’s planetary ascension with the cosmic energies that together inform my spiritual practice.
Where am I now?
I have dabbled in tarot, dowsing, sound therapy, numerology, crystal grid mapping, water crystal scrying, somatic channelling, light language … generally I have made myself comfortable with a number of divinatory systems. As I continue, on the daily, to remember, reclaim, re-ignite, nurture and live attuned to the divine spark of my soul’s essence I am finding that contemplation of Richard Rudd’s compilation of the Gene Keys (a contemporary reworking of the ancient wisdom of the I-Ching) can expedite not only the inner workings of my own DNA activations and upgrades but also that it works as a clear and reliable compass for most anyone riding out this turn of the Wheel from the Piscean epoch into Aquarius.
That being said, it is my intimate involvement in an ongoing process to anchor another brand new major spiritual canon of works into the planet that currently occupies most of my focus and attention. As a dedicated member of the rarefied lightworker community that has organically formed around this work, I currently hold the Ascension Timeline and DNA Keycodes, which are two among a set of 55 Keycodes that Kelly Kolodney (overlighted by AA Raphael) began actively transmitting circa 2017. These Keycodes are now being actively anchored into the crystalline grid as part of a comprehensive system of teachings for the New Earth. (As of Fall 2025, we are about halfway through the set.)
Amidst my different forays over the years into these various courses, certifications, activations and initiatory pathways, I have always held a strong affinity for trees. I once had a vision showing me that my origin point on this planet was as an evergreen tree high on a mountain and that connection still runs strong within me. I grew up in the American Midwest as a girl you would regularly find barefoot and climbing trees. I am now fortunate enough to live and work in Santa Cruz, CA where I am greeted daily by the unwavering majesty of our coastal redwoods. Indeed it is the trees that I can always come back to and rest assured that whatever I bring to our next exchange they will feed into the infinite web of wisdom circulating underground. It is the trees which bear witness to all of our human folly but who also can accept and transmute any of it when offered. They stand ready to take on whatever we might bring: could be a question, could be a hug, could be anxiety or a shadow ready for shedding. Could be a storm that needs unleashing.
The range of studies, mystical practices and experiences that I have gathered up into my being up until now has led me to conceive of my role in the Atonement as a catalyst for change, an “edge-worker” and an energetic web weaver. This can mean many things, what does it mean to you?
For anyone seeking assistance from me, I would want them to know that I will be forever surrendering to my foundation in Christ Consciousness / Way of the Rose. In the here and now, I will be turning back to the activations I have received and the knowledge I am integrating from Kelly Kolodney’s 55 Keycode downloads and Richard Rudd’s Gene Keys re-interpretation of the 64 I-CHING. I am also learning to trust, rather than doubt, the clairsentient wisdom imparted directly to me when I sit in nature, often with a tree, on a stone, or at the edge of a body of water. I am learning to credit the profundity of the magic that has already appeared in my life, take heart in the wisdom of my old soul, and to accept that indeed my soul-essence now shines brightly enough with divine light to serve as an authentic and faithful catalyst for others.
Each form my name takes reveals a different facet of my journey and the essence I hold.
Amma - signifies my soul’s long-lived alignment with the divine feminine, the divine mother and perhaps more specifically grandmother energy. As you may or may not be aware, in many Indian languages and among the Dogon tribes of Africa, Amma literally translates as “mother” or “divine mother” and for Hindu it is used as a suffix for goddess. It can also be used to signify the all-embracing love that we so often associate with mothers, the kind that is selfless and knows no boundaries. Early on in my awakening journey I came to understand (via a set of synchronicities and as shared by others in channeled messages) that my soul lineage is indeed a fractal line of the same Oversoul that was carried onto this planet by Anna, Grandmother of Yeshua ben Yoseph. Since then, I’ve found that any time I spend chanting “amma-anna-amma” is nurturing for me.
After three years of intensive training in the Way of Mastery to activate that ember of Christ Consciousness that lives within me (and all of us), I turned my focus to counterbalance the white light of the Christos with the rose-gold light of the Magdal. I was guided into remembering the Way of the Rose by an esteemed teacher - Ishtara Rose - who soon after (despite my pleas and protests) cut me loose. She saw that I was at a turning point and needed to walk my own path and become my own teacher. It was during this period of study and initiation that I became aware of the legend of Sar’h Tamar. Around the same time I also learned that Tamar translates as “date palm” in Hebrew and Arabic. This was endearing because we have only one tree in the front yard of my residence in Santa Cruz, CA… and it just so happens to be a date palm. It all maps perfectly as the wood element runs strong within me and as you will see, I have a longstanding and firm alignment with the wisdom of the trees.
With an August 12,1977 birthdate, I was surprised and humbled to learn that the close of the Lion’s Gate portal is commonly witnessed on August 12 each year. Observing Lion’s Gate quickly became a gratifying and soulful commitment for me each year - many of which I spent making solo sojourns to areas around Mt. Shasta. It was through my early encounters with the Law of One, Hathor/Sekhmet, and initiation into working with the Violet Flame and Sekhem healing arts, that I came to appreciate my identity as an Indigo Daughter of Ra, and saw how that too had been encoded in my name as Tama-Ra.
