I Was Hungry for True Spiritual Community

Are you being nurtured in a spiritual community?

Are you feeling lonely spiritually?

This is what becomes possible when we walk together—

I am so grateful you have created such a uniquely beautiful sacred space of community where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported. It is a nurturing place for spiritual growth and expansion, regardless of where you are on your journey. ~Paula W

Come and have Tea with Mother Mary and me.

My Story:

Many years ago, I had the opportunity to fly for Delta Airlines. It seemed like the perfect job for me. I had already traveled a lot as a child. My parents would fly us around the world on our way back to the States from their term as missionaries in Ethiopia.

I had also put myself through college as a waitress. I was definitely a people pleaser—the perfect profile to serve as a flight attendant and fly around the United States.

As a junior attendant, I worked 3-day trips out of Miami. Most of my trips were puddle jumpers—short, up-and-down flights. I would come back to my apartment tired. I had served hundreds of people, but I couldn’t remember one face.

This exposed a hunger in my heart for community. I didn’t recognize it at the time. What I was really craving was heart-centered spiritual community.

I had not been in any kind of spiritual community for years. In fact, I couldn’t go into a church for a long time without feeling claustrophobic. I also call this my freedom journey, as I had a lot to sift through as a missionary kid.

I was lonely—alone spiritually.

The bridge for me was a jazz concert offered at a Center for Spiritual Living in La Crescenta, California. It brought my musician and my spiritual pilgrim into community. I let myself take this journey very slowly.

I was drawn to study and become a Practitioner of Religious Science, and later a Practitioner at Agape International Spiritual Center with Rev. Michael Beckwith.

I was then ready for a deeper self-study of the ‘I AM Presence’ through Saint Germain’s I AM Discourses and The Seven Sacred Flames by Aurelia Louise Jones.

On a late autumn morning in 2013, on my back patio, I was given a directive to create my own spiritual community by teaching courses on what I was learning.

My Heart-Center of Spiritual Community

The Academy began with two students and me.

It has become a nurturing center of transformation and an Archangel portal of spiritual community.

From its beginnings—birthed through prayer with just a few—to now reaching hundreds around the world, this Academy continues to grow in Light. Teaching and praying together has been a glorious experience, and I have witnessed amazing healing results. ~ Marjorie

My Academy, which is now truly Mother Mary’s Sanctuary, is a safe refuge to be yourself and grow spiritually.

Locally, I absolutely love being in sacred community in Columbia, SC, at Unity of the Midlands. This is where you can find Michael and me every Sunday, sharing our gift of music and supporting Rev. Dan Beckett in another beautiful spiritual community.

You don’t have to walk this path alone.

There is a place for you here.

A place where your heart is welcomed,

your spirit is nourished,
