CSL is a small community of friends engaged in a dynamic invocation for the emerging civilization of the Soul. We believe that the only solution to our personal and world problems is the evolution of consciousness. Therefore, we promote Soulful Living.
Our focus is on the awakening of the human Soul, or higher consciousness, by providing a model of Soulful Community, an Esoteric School (The Aldebaran School of Planetary Tantra), and an Open-Air Meditation Sanctuary to educate and encourage others in Soulful living.
Overall, we encourage the recognition and practice of the 7 Laws of Love. Through our efforts, we aim to shift people out of the realm of spiritual seeking and into Soul Conscious Co-creators working for the spiritual evolution of humanity and our planet. Our members are also business owners, bringing Soulful values into the realm of commerce. We are living on 22 beautiful acres of land in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. We call our place The Center for Soulful Living.
CSL is a 501(c)3 Non-profit driven by donations. OMS is supported by the loving gifts of people like you. All proceeds go to the daily maintenance and upkeep of the Open-Air Meditation Sanctuary, and are tax deductible.
About Us
We are a group of friends living in an intentional community. We came together to support the emerging civilization of Love Wisdom. A civilization in which we are deeply conscious of our bond with Gaia (Mother Earth), aware of our species niche within Her Unified Life, and living our personal course of right action in harmony with Gaia.
We strive daily to provide a model of heart-centered Community, the Aldebaran School, and the Open-Air Meditation Sanctuary. Our mission is to educate and encourage others in awakening their True Self, bonding with Gaia, and living in Love Wisdom.
We are interested in expanding our community by a few members. If you think you might be interested, please contact us.
Heidi Astraia
Heidi Astraia is a respected spiritual teacher, a cultural visionary and a co-founder of the Center for Soulful Living, Executive Director of the OMS -Open-air Meditation Sanctuary, Founder of the Alderbaran School of Planetary Tantra Meditation, transformational writer and artist, healer and the mother of four. For the last 30 years she has traveled and lived throughout the United States giving public lectures, intensive classes, and retreats on the subjects of esoteric meditation, psychology, healing, conscious evolution, and astrology. Heidi’s contribution to the emerging field of Conscious Evolution is based on the message that our species is an integral aspect of the life of our Planetary Logos (Gaia), and for Planetary evolution to proceed with our conscious cooperation, we must function as intended: we must become Truly Human.
We should therefore understand what the purposes of our Planetary Logos are and our species niche within those trans human purposes as well as the personal powers we are each destined to contribute. To this end she offers her original teachings on the 7 Principles of Love and the 28 Rites of Conscious Evolution, which were first presented by the 20th century esoteric educator, Alice A. Bailey.
Heidi’s teachings on the 7 Principles of Love and the 28 Rites are a uniquely powerful evolutionary practice that involves the use of seven evolutionary accelerants, and the use of Star Based astrology to determine and activate Soul and Personality codes or powers. Additionally she is promoting the use of the Starry Wisdom Channels to boost planetary evolution. She regards her work as a contribution to the One Great Work of the world-wide group of Evolutionaries. Heidi’s teachings are the basis for the Alderbaran School of Planetary Tantra Meditation.
Her spiritual journey began with a Catholic up-bringing, followed by an interest in art, psychology, yoga, natural healing and the wisdom teachings of Eastern mystics like Sri Yukteshwar, Yogananda, Vivikananda, Aurobindo and the Yoga Sutras of Patangali. But it wasn’t until 1973 when she began reading the works of Alice A. Bailey, an authentic, enlightened, Western, female teacher that her own spiritual transformation was catalyzed. Heidi seeks out the deeper part of us that knows our species is capable of a more beautiful civilization and that it requires our collective effort to establish. She is enthusiastic about the fact that we live in a time when our efforts can make a real difference if we are willing to wake up and support each other in giving our highest gifts in service to the world. She does not call for transcendence or ascension away from the world but for a deep and committed Soulful immersion in it so that we can evolve human consciousness and culture. Heidi urges us all to understand that we are living in special times and that we all play an integral role in the future of our lives, our neighbors lives and our planet.
