Lions gate 2026 and embodied Journey beyond manifestation with Jacia Kornwise
Advertisement
Dear Friends,
Every year on August 8, many people celebrate what is known as the Lion’s Gate Portal, a symbolic moment when the Sun is in Leo and the energy of the heart, courage, creativity, and authentic self-expression is said to be amplified. Traditionally, it has become known as a time to set intentions, manifest our dreams, and call more abundance into our lives.
This year, however, feels different.
Not because the Universe is suddenly more available to us, but because the symbolism of this year’s planetary cycles invites us into something deeper.
Jupiter, the planet associated with expansion, wisdom, possibility, and growth, is moving through Leo for the first time in twelve years. Leo is the sign of the heart, joyful self-expression, creativity, leadership, and allowing ourselves to be fully seen. Symbolically, Jupiter magnifies these qualities, encouraging us not simply to dream bigger, but to become more fully ourselves.
Adding to this powerful season, a Leo eclipse follows just a few days after the Lion’s Gate. Astrologically, eclipses often symbolize endings, beginnings, and profound shifts in consciousness. Rather than simply imagining a different future, this time invites us to embody a different way of being.
For me, this changes the conversation.
Instead of asking,
“What do I want to manifest?”
perhaps we are being invited to ask,
“Who am I becoming?”
The Universe has never stopped supporting us.
Love has never stopped flowing toward us.
Life has never stopped inviting us into deeper participation.
Perhaps the deeper question is whether we are available to receive what has always been here.
What if the Lion’s Gate isn’t about asking the Universe for more…
What if it is about becoming so present, so coherent, so open-hearted, and so deeply embodied that we naturally align with what has been waiting to emerge through us all along?
I have come to believe that awakening is not about escaping the body.
It is about inhabiting it more completely.
Our bodies are not separate from the Universe.
They are living expressions of it.
When we breathe consciously…�When we move with awareness…�When we quiet the endless activity of the mind…�When we soften into the intelligence of the heart…�When we become fully present…
something extraordinary begins to happen.
We stop chasing life.
We begin participating with it.
The portal isn’t opening somewhere in the sky.
It opens within us each time our heart, body, mind, and awareness come into greater coherence.
I invite you to join me for a deeply experiential Lion’s Gate Embodied Journey, where we’ll explore these themes through guided meditation, breathwork, conscious movement, reflective writing, music, and heartfelt community.
And some great news!! the magnificent Jodi Petersen will be our special guest to bring some very sacred and unique musical Medicine offerings that we will utilize to co create with
This evening, we’ll weave together moments of quiet reflection, guided meditation, breathwork, and journaling with more energized experiences of movement, release, and dance. Together, we’ll not only clarify our intentions, but embody them, allowing them to move from the mind into the wisdom of the body. Through stillness and motion, we’ll create space for what is ready to be released and for what is ready to come alive within us.
You don’t need any experience with meditation or dance.
Only a willingness to be present.
