Twin Lotus Center HerStory
Antara Davis and I sat in Sacred Circle together many times since we founded Sisters of the Sacred Circle in 1989. From the beginning we had a shared vision of opening a wisdom school and wholistic healing center. After 30+ years in the Santa Cruz legal community, I retired as a paralegal to pursue our calling. We had been educating ourselves and acquiring life and healing skills. Now we were ready to devote ourselves to sharing what we learned.
We opened Twin Lotus Center in 2010 in a transformed outbuilding on Antara's property in Santa Cruz that we christened The Lotus Temple. We offered meditation, vibrational healing and wisdom teachings. TLC became a beacon to the women we served and our clientele increased every year. When we outgrew The Lotus Temple, Brian (Antara's husband) built us a larger venue, The Crystal Room, for our larger gatherings.

Meditation
|
I led a weekly meditation group for five years we called Outstanding Morning Meditations (affectionately known as OMM). As OMMers, we tapped into the deepest part of ourselves and received profound visions as we sat together (see testimonials here). Amazing transformations occurred and deep bonds were created between the meditators.
We practiced a variety of techniques and then settled on a pattern of guided relaxation, spirit journeying, time to record our experiences and then share if desired. Themes included Angels, Chakras, Crystals, Elements, Gemstones, Goddesses, Mudras, Mantras, Power Animals and the Violet Flame. |

The Davises’ lives changed when their first grandchild was born in 2015. As Antara became Donny's part-time caretaker, the family wanted and needed more privacy and time to spend with him. The Davises were host and hostess to Twin Lotus Center in their home, so after five years our "cottage business" was closed to make room for this child to bless their lives.
