Rocky Mountain Atelier TMO Master's Message

Greetings in the Light of Martinism!

Dear Sisters & Brothers & Friends,

We have reached 2022 in both our lives and our calendars – what does this new journey we are each embarking upon hold for each us – both individually and collectively? What adventure lies just around the corner in our lives? What enlightenment is awaiting our approach?

The Rocky Mountain Atelier is beginning the last year of this COVID-interrupted cycle that began in January 2020 and will end in December 2022 with the completion of all three class levels of study, the Initiation of our class members - the Associates who have successfully completed the requirements to advance to the Initiate Degree will be initiated into that Degree at the Rocky Mountain Atelier; and the Initiates who have successfully completed the requirements to advance to the SI Degree will be initiated into that Degree at the Rocky Mountain Atelier in December 2022; and the Ieschouah ceremony will conclude this current cycle in December 2022 with the installation of new officers for the cycle of 2023-2024.

The Weekend Intensive class schedule is available in the online Martinist sites but it can also be sent to you individually – just let one of the Officers know that you wish to have the current cycle calendar.

The Rocky Mountain Atelier has many members that do not reside in Colorado – coming from St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands, to Mexico City, Mexico – as well as from the East Coast, the Midwest, the South and the Pacific Northwest during this current cycle. If you have a desire to participate in Temple classes, please consider attending the Atelier to bring you from your Homestudy (which makes you a Student of Martinism) to becoming a Martinist by your Temple participation in the three levels of Initiations in the Temple and the discussions held in the Temple regarding the information presented in that discourse by your Sisters and Brothers in Martinism.

The online biweekly discussion classes have been an incredible success since inception in June 2020 – shedding new light on the Pasqually material and bringing delight in the virtual online joining with our sisters and brothers twice a month – we have participants from the East Coast to the West Coast in this discussion group and even from Cameroon!

The Mountain Rose Pronaos is in the process of assessing whether the Pronaos can financially continue at the present location which TMO rents on a per day basis. Your support of the Pronaos not only benefits the Pronaos, but it also greatly benefits our Atelier since – increased attendance and support of the Pronaos is one of the pieces that will determine whether the Pronaos can continue their current lease or find another spot – needless to say, if that occurs, then our Atelier will also be searching for other quarters to hold our Weekend Intensive classes – and if the Pronaos does not exist in any form in Colorado, then our Atelier cannot exist either, according to the rules and regulations from the English Grand Lodge in San Jose, CA – we need each other! Participation in both the Pronaos and the Atelier is a Win-Win for all concerned!

As always, the Atelier also needs AMRA (donations) in order to continue to offer TMO classes. Annual operating expenses, primarily rent, are greater than $3,500. Dues cover less than two-thirds of that. The Atelier greatly appreciates the help of those who are able and all contributions are tax-deductible. The ways to make contributions or pay Dues to the Rocky Mountain Atelier are:

-Attend Conventicles and place your check or cash contribution into the TMO AMRA basket located by the sign-in book.

-Funds may be mailed to the Rocky Mountain Atelier TMO at 7100 Broadway Unit 3J Denver, CO 80221

-Digital contributions are now possible using Zelle and sending the payment to rockymountain.tmo@gmail.com – please make a note on this contribution as to whether this is a contribution or Dues to the Atelier.

May We ALL Dwell in the Eternal Light of Divine Wisdom!
