Celebrating Four Years Living In Portugal Port-Of-Grail

One Year Living In Portugal: New Earth Codes, Community & Soul Remebrances
By Jelelle Awen
One year ago, we arrived here in Portugal with very little sense of how it would be here or even much orientation to this country at all before then. We had received guidance in April last year that it was time to move on from Glastonbury, UK and yet to stay in Europe to serve here, especially to connect to the soul grids and soul family here. Portugal came up as the ‘doorway to the grail’, more sustainable/affordable living, better weather, and to connect to it as a beloved coastal and mountain landing space for the Magdalenes.
We followed this guidance as we always do when major life changes come through from the Divine….(ten major moving shifts in 14 years and five different countries!) with a sense of surrender and a bit of tension/fear in parts of us too that we needed to be with and respond to. Raphael and I had envisioned that we would spend the summer moving throughout the country, camping and staying in places as we were guided until the fall when we would settle somewhere as a community.
Instead the strong frequencies of Gaia here along with a deep need to digest our karmic healing and soul activation experiences in Glastonbury/Avalon guided us to spend the entire summer in one campground in Northern Portugal and to live there as a community. We humbled to living in tents for three months, letting Nature teach and guide us. The purity and high frequency of the river; the sheer beauty of the mountains; the warmth of the people…all of it worked on us at deep levels of clearing and healing.
We did very few sessions during this time and took pretty much a full break from posting online as well. Bey joined us in August at the campground after doing remote sessions with us off and on for a few years. She has become a beloved member of our core community since then.
After summer was over, we moved into the two beautiful spaces in this village in remote central Portugal that we live in now…Raphael and I are about a five minute walk up the narrow village road to Gabriel and Kasha’s place with Bey and Raianna living in a nearby town together. Settling into this mountain valley has felt like being held in Divine Mother’s nest as the deep Marian frequencies here invited us to go more monk like and inward. We’ve held several two-day long healing groups here as a community exploring emotional, soul, and energy healing together.
As soon as we moved into our ‘yellow light ship’ house, we experienced a deep reunion experience with a local stray black cat who claimed us immediately and we named Ravyn. We were taken on deep soul remembrance journeys with her as we invested in her health (and a bit costly vet bill) and committed to caring for her the rest of her life. She has become our beloved temple cat, offering so much loving to us, activating our heart chakras, and in sessions now too. We couldn’t imagine our life without her! And recently, Gabriel and Kasha welcomed a black cat of their own named Kaia.
In the last month there has been a shift inside us and as a community to more outbound activity, sharing, and timeline shifts of deeper service again to those souls who are drawn. Raphael and I get another honeymoon living together alone phase as Raianna has moved to live with Bey in the town of Coja. We will be moving to Coja in October, along with Gabriel and Kasha, where there are more opportunities to connect with others and it is a bit less isolated and remote.
In this moment, I feel a deep appreciation for Portugal and how it has embraced us, supported us, and held us through a necessary digestion and retraction phase. The culture shock has been real at times plus the challenge of the language. Yet, the energies here are both ancient and progressive.
New Earth is seeding here too, which is why it draws so many ‘ego-immigrants’ to come here and live off-grid. I have the sense that this country really is planting the possibilities of New Earth/New Lemuria in a way that is unique in all of the world.
We are blessed to have been guided here as it has been ‘easy’ to be here and I look forward to the deepenings to come here as a community and within myself! Many more sharings to come from here!
Love,
Jelelle Awen

Trusting Where Your Personal Truth & Guidance Is Leading You
by Kasha Rokshana
The journey back to instinct and intuition is messy at best. It means going against the grain of your culture, being told things on the outside and then having to discern, constantly, whether itβs actually true or not.
Thereβs a very real tension in that process and itβs worth every moment for the maturity it offers as you move through it.
This whole process of coming to Portugal and starting to find out ways to bridge our inner sanctuaries to the manifestation/draw of an outer one, has been messy but instinctual. Itβs called both Gabriel and I to a LOT of trust and to feel where the issues still lie in aspects of us who have a hard time trusting.
And the journey of trusting and intuiting continues as we still hold more questions than answers but are learning to somehow live into that flow.
We not only arrived here unscathed (despite all tensions we had to feel along the way) but we also feel the deep warmth of this country opening its arms to us. Iβm even feeling this morning the Divine Mother/Father frequencies of this land and what lies beneath the 3D βhistoryβ of it. I feel the embrace that comforts and challenges too as we get used to living in a different culture and country yet again with a different spoken language and also a different heart and soul language in some ways. I feel humbled by the process itβs been to even get here (mostly internally, as the external did have a grace and flow to it actually) and the process that we are stepping into to be here physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
I feel that since the Solstice, weβve all been invited to make a choice. A choice to commit to something that we instinctually and intuitively feel we need to make. We have the right to make a call on what we feel we need most, for that reflects what our souls have signed up to do and be here at this time. When all outside sources tell us to go one way, we really should consider all ways and feel what it is that is right for us and our path. The Solstice invited us to feel a renewed conviction around our own choices and to bravely step into them. The energies have been so supportive of that and we are very grateful for the learning experience this has beenβ¦
I feel all of this with all my heart this morning. I feel how sobering and yet alive it is to truly live into what you feel aligned with, no matter what βtruthβ you feel to subscribe to. For us, we feel itβs a growing necessity to make sure you are living where you feel you want and NEED to be, to have a supportive sanctuary inside and out that can help you through these times that are only growing in intensity.
Sidebar: it feels SO good to be able to relax enough into myself after the journey here that I can feel enough context to write like this again!
Thank you for following along with our own journey and I do hope it inspires your own somehow, whatever you feel committed to choosing and however things play out for you as you go.
Weβll both be back with more alchemy around the work/process we embody and offer very soon as we get more settled. We will keep you posted on that as it flows!
So much love,
Kasha β₯οΈ
