You've found us because you know something is missing in your relationship...
to your body, to lineage, to community, to the elements, to the earth
The Sistra teaches across dimensions to gather, weave, and cohere what is ready to be restored through myth, alchemy, culture, body, and place.
Begin Here— In Circle
Join the Cistern Circle
The Cistern Circle is a free community on Skool where we gather under the rhythm of the Moon.
This is a light circle space of shared intention, responsibility and creation to come into our own rhythm, purpose and truth.
Through monthly full moon journeys — Moon Tides, written transmissions to reconnect with body, womb and circular time, and to connect in community.
A new state of
embodied co-creation
Mission
The Sistra's mission is to restore the missing current of coherence between mind, heart and body— completing a circuit of correspondence between the being, the earth and the cosmos.
Through the embodied philosophies of returning to oneself in alignment with All each day— SISTRA— and transformative methodologies of alchemy, we endeavor to help others walk, move and create from their embodied truth and rhythm, contributing to a new state of wisdom through choice, relationship, and creation on Earth.
Vision
We dream of humanity returned home to the body, inhabiting the Earth as Mother where each person is held in the sovereignty, wholeness and freedom of their being while meeting the depth of the unity of all life, from sky to soil.
Our vision is to lay the foundations of sapience traditions & restorative action that unify through the coherent bond of polarity—field of creation between opposites— in support of the emergence of Ontocracy— "a social order that arises from the being."
Purpose
Our purpose is to remember & receive what has been lost, disjointed or unmet through time, within ourselves, within the cultural collective threads that shaped us and within the planetary network, giving meaning to the direction of the fabric— to inhabit, embody and restore the threads of story, lineage and the mystery that holds mind-heart-embodied action in coherence so that it becomes a living society.
We cultivate this purpose through somatic restoration of mythology; energetic frameworks that re-member the intelligence of form; alchemical practices to embody our medicine; educational initiatives; and transformative journeys to return collaborative expression to the Earth as Mother.
Enter the World of the Movement
Pillars of the Path
The Return of the Sistra unfolds through six living pillars — each one carrying a distinct mode of remembrance, inquiry, movement, and relationship with Earth.
Together, they form a path where embodied wisdom, cultural listening, ecological awareness, and future imagination are brought into living relationship.
42 Abides of Ma'at
The 42 Abides of Ma'at are a remembered resonance of the "Laws of Ma'at" that guide the Return of the One Song, foundational principles that shape how we understand the universal laws of creation, and co-creation.
The Sistra walk with and sit in circle with the 42 Abides to Return to Earth's Rhythm through a deeper understanding of elemental harmony.
Ethos Transmissions
These transmissions are foundational remembrances of cosmology, the harmonics of Earth's origin grid, and remembered mythology.
They hold the path in relational meaning, coherence, and understanding. Providing the stories that align us, the roles that inform the structure, and a deeper understanding of the mission.
Egypt Lunar Barque
The 4 Lunar Barques will cycle through a journey of restoration and becoming, each journey representing themes of emergence, transformation, restoration, and perception.
Learn more about the four cycles below.
Journeys of the Cisterns
The 10 Embodied Journeys of the Cisterns are the locations the Sistra are called to travel and move with — to connect with a wider circle of memory in the grid, and widen our own circles through craft, connection and creation.
The Return of the Sistra
The Return of the Sistra is a planetary path of cultural and collective remembrance.
It moves across three scales simultaneously: the planetary network; the cultures, lineages and wisdom keepers who carry Earth's memory in right relationship; and the individual body as the instrument through which coherence is restored and lived.
It is a movement of alchemical transduction — memory into matter, rhythm into form, awakening into lived participation. Rooted in mythic ethos, lunar rhythm, earth stewardship, and relational co-creation, the Sistra path restores the dialogue between body, land, time and memory that allows creation to move in truth.
About the Form of the Path
The Return of the Sistra moves through six living pillars — Mythic Ethos & Alchemy, Embodied Journeys, Earth's Rhythm through the Wheel of the Year & Lunar Cycles, Earth Stewardship, and Relational Co-creation — held in coherence by the 42 Abides of Ma’at, the ethical and rhythmic spine of the path.
Its cosmological foundations are carried through the Ethos Transmissions: remembered myth, alchemical frameworks, and the harmonic language of Earth’s origin grid. These are lived through the Journeys of the Cisterns — ten embodied encounters with Earth’s waters of memory across the world and with her people — and four Lunar Barques along the Nile.
The Cistern Circle is where the path begins for most: a free community gathering under the rhythm of the Moon, open to anyone ready to return to their own rhythm, truth, voice and body first.
