\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ ABOUT THE CHAPEL \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
OUR MISSION at the Metaphysical Chapel of Life is to support those seeking their personal spiritual truth beyond the physical, without dogma, while providing a safe and nonjudgmental environment for shared and diverse knowledge and experiences.
OUR PURPOSE is to provide a place to worship God from within our own beings, free from dogma or the controlling influences of any one specific religion. This means the open acceptance of everyone and every religion, understanding that we all worship the same God within and without. Furthermore, the purpose of the Chapel is to share the love and light in ourselves and others so that we are open and receptive to the flow of Gods light and love.
OUR EXPRESSION
At the Metaphysical Chapel of Life, one of our main goals is the raising up of "Light Bearers" and the edification of the Light of God in each person. A "Light Bearer" is someone who acknowledges the existence of God in their heart; and who chooses to live and act from that point of contact. This is not an easy task, because it is hard to move the ego-self out of the way and to let the God part of us act and be a part of our lives.
Our emphasis is on God, not on phenomena; and our message it that God resides inside of every individual, not "out there" somewhere in the sky. That the goal of Humanity is to acknowledge the internal Higher Power that propels us through life, and to consciously choose to allow that Higher Power to work through us...

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ ABOUT OUR EVENT FACILITATORS \/\/\/\/\/\/\/
Juliet Jarek (she/they) is a Chapel member and regular psychic fair reader. As a reader, Juliet shares: "I provides messages with the use of the ancient Norse alphabet called Runes; a word meaning 'mystery' or 'magic'. I use techniques including numerology, astrology, cosmogyny, and theosophy. I also use visual elements to immerse and facilitate the message. "Und" or otherwise; 'The Vital Breath', is the essence of my readings as I practice seiðr; a meditative divinatory method. For cross-reference; I utilize the Hebrew alphabet as well as their gematric values. All in peace!"
