This study group will focus on the element of ether and how to work with the additional ether suit in conjunction with the other four elements of fire, water, air and earth. We will present the philosophical aspects of working with five elements as a basis for alchemy. Primary focus will be on the general aspects of the ether suit as the representation of the soul essence, according to the various energies, attributes, qualities, etc.

You will gain deeper understanding of the element of ether with the use of the essential oil of lotus, through creative visualization and meditation, through sacred geometries and sound activations. This study group will offer an expansive view of the ether element and the fifth dimensional energies brought forward with The Fifth Tarot.
