In Loving Memory: Olivia Robertson

Remembering Olivia Robertson
April 13, 1917 – November 14, 2013

Celebrating Her Life and Remembering Her Vision

“I had been thinking of this, about our Arcadian dream of connecting spiritually with where we live. I had a vision of the Aquarian Grael in a room in our north-west wing. In the main keep, directly over the Holy Brighid Well, came my vision of Isis. She appeared in the north at Samhain, 1946. I feel we can all link our spiritual adventures with our homes. This earth is where we grow. An eagle needs a nest.”

“The birds call their song of hope to wandering souls,
Pilgrims in search of their lost heaven.
Within the Mother’s Home
is hidden the Source of Life.”

(Excerpt from a letter received from Fellowship of Isis co-founder Olivia Robertson, dated January 19, 2011)

Temple of Isis Convocation 2019 - Anuket and Hapi

Temple of Isis and Fellowship of Isis Convocation

Honoring Anuket and Hapi

Thursday, October 10 – Monday, October 14, 2019

Hosted by Temple of Isis

Isis Oasis Sanctuary, 20889 Geyserville Ave., Geyserville, CA, 95441

Our Annual Temple of Isis and Fellowship of Isis Convocation will take place Thursday, October 10 – Monday, October 14. The event will take place on the beautiful and sacred grounds of Isis Oasis Sanctuary in Geyserville, California. Along with a beautiful series of presentations, we offer ordinations every year, after a course of study with an ordained member of the clergy of the Temple of Isis and/or Fellowship of Isis. We also offer blessings of the path, for those embarking on a course of study or a new facet to their spiritual growth.

This is one of the main events offered at Isis Oasis each year. It serves to further awareness of the Goddess based spirituality and also honors the Gods. This event is a fundraiser, and as Temple of Isis is a 501(c)3 non-profit, all donations are welcome, even if you cannot attend. Please direct donation questions to deTraci Regula at Isisoasistoi@gmail.com or call our office: 707-857-4747

Many talented and magical people attend, offering informative and inspirational presentations. Our schedule is robust, while providing a lot of friendly downtime to reconnect with friends, Mother Nature, and the TOI/FOI community. No matter what your spiritual practice is, we are inclusive, not exclusive. First-timers are especially welcome. We hope you will enjoy all that our Retreat Center has to offer.

If you are planning to attend and have not booked your reservations yet, please do so by calling 707-857-4747, or emailing Isis Oasis with "Reservations for Convocation" in the subject line at: Isisoasistoi@gmail.com or visit our website: www.isisoasis.us or telephone our office at 707-857-4747 

Room rates are per person, shared occupancy. Lodge rooms are $125/person per night and include all events and meals. Dorm rates are $75/night, or free for volunteers (contact Isis Oasis if you wish to volunteer). Day passes are $60 and only cover events from 11am-11pm and two meals.

SPONSORS: If you are sponsoring someone (or several) to be ordained, or if they are requesting a Blessing of The Path, please contact deTraci Regula or Justin Howard with a list as soon as possible. E-mail: Isisoasistoi@gmail.com

PRESENTERS and those wishing to do so: The deadline for presentations and proposals (title and blurb description of what you wish to present) is now due. If you have not already done so, please contact deTraci Regula or Justin Howard. Presenters receive compensation of one free night of room and board. E-mail: Isisoasistoi@gmail.com

The line-up for this year's event has come together beautifully. We truly thank each and every person who attends and all those who volunteer their time and effort to make this event happen. Blessings of Anuket and Hapi to you all, and to the free flowing of loving friendship, we have all enjoyed over the years, as we gather together once again for convocation in 2019.

The Silvery Grotto of Diana

"Enter into the silvery grotto, it’s marvelous, everything seems silvery. There are deer here and there are animals, everything is beautiful. And there is the Queen there, Queen Diana, queen of magic, queen of night. Beautiful. While we lie in bed losing our consciousness in sleep, she is always there, and she is here with us now. We ask her to make our dreams come true. We ask her to bring her dreams to us, and she will show them to us in her mirror during the coming year on earth. She summons our dreams in the magic of beauty and love. Out in dreams we wander, venture, we venture throughout space. Having the traveler’s heart we turn about. She holds the magic mirror. And she shows that what we dream at night happens next day. Believe it. Yes, this is true. We leave our dreams for now, to have another dream." ~ Excerpt from a guided journey given by Olivia Robertson in Phoenix, Arizona, November 12, 2001.

The entire guided journey is offered at Fellowship of Isis Central: Dawn of the New Aeon
