SoulFire Sanctuary is home to the 18th Peace Chamber, in the lineage of Joseph Rael, Beautiful Painted Arrow.
- Joseph Rael was given a vision and a mission to build chambers around the planet that are dedicated to World Peace and the Oceans. This commUNITY scale monolithic dome was built, blessed and dedicated more than 30 years ago, by Joseph and the Earth Center community and council that was led by Zoe Bryant.
- The Swannanoa Chamber is at the end of a gravel road and nestled into a North Facing mountain, In the center of the Chamber 8 Ley Lines meet, and this is the 18th of 74, built by Joseph and communities around the World.
- In 2014, Mz. imani purchased the Peace Chamber property and was given permission to bring her WErk, Ways and self fully to this land. The repairs to the physical and metaphysical structures having been more than she could have imagined, gave her the humorous title of being a Janitor with a Drum.
- Given the conditions in our WErld, it is a place of profound importance in our WErld today and she is aware that it is time to step into the role of a Clan Mother or Grandmother.
- Mz. imani’s goals include being in nature while curating and cultivating ceremonial fire circles, local and online community, roundtable discussions, mentorship + training programs to uplift collective expressions of harmony + prayer thru the arts.
- We are curating our personal and collective awareness of the sacred, the practice of gratitude and the power of ART in ACTion.
- We honor the Moon Cycles and Seasonal Celebrations, Rites of Passage and collaboration through the mythic arts of community gatherings.
- Instigating and inspiring SoulFire Circles of Sanctuary, both locally and globally, virtually and physically to tend to our personal + collective SoulFires as we drum, dance and pray for peace.
- SoulFire Sanctuary is a place that honors our primary expressions of contemplation and prayer to be music, movement, silence, time in nature and art.
