We are happy to offer AMI's wonderful images and products, in service and for love of the path of truth, wherever it leads each person.
We enjoy uniting each week for sharing and meditation, where we each contemplate and offer heartfelt words of gratitude, prayers for the Earth or specific areas, for enlightenment, abundant good for all or whatever else there is.
Also, for the last couple of years we have added a short study/enlightenment time. We have been applying Marshall Rosenberg's Non-Violent Communication approach, using a workbook to practice; we now use these principles as best we can to communicate more effectively, with greater ease and friendliness.
Right now we are pulling Eckhart Tolle's Power of Now cards, sharing with one another and meditating on them throughout the week.

Joanna Cherry
Founder
Before 1996 I was offering a small collection of much-loved pictures to others, almost entirely on a personal basis, with the workshops I was giving and the conferences I was speaking at. Then I was guided, on a spirit-commanded journey to India, to stop teaching and increase the pictures to a large collection of masters and deities, and get them widely out into the world. "Awakening humanity needs them," I was told. (More of this on the Founder's Page.)
I set to work to find the most shining, divine images I could, and developed over 50 of them. (Unexpectedly, on beginning this larger effort, two guided books also poured out of me, and additional tape (now CD) sets.) Then we took over Neil Cohen's Legion of Light in 1998, and suddenly we required an actual office! This is when Natalie came to AMI; Judith followed a couple of years later. Since then, we've added many wonderful pictures to our collection.
I have found that the most valuable experience personally in our business is learning how to create truly harmonious working relationships with others. I had been mostly a loner, working on my own, and did not have to learn much of this before. I have been helped to see where I've needed to change, as I think the others also have, and we are all better off for it.
I do not have to be every day at the office, which is very helpful for me as I need a lot of meditation and nature time. Natalie and Judith are so dedicated and skilled, wonderful at what they do, that I can relax and know that all is in excellent hands when I'm not here. In this I feel very blessed.
I also feel immensely grateful to be the steward of such beautiful, powerful, inspiring images, and all our products. It is quite a wonderful dharma.

I have had the opportunity to support the consolidation and transition of stewardship of Neil Cohen's wonderful products, when he brought the charts and many of his images to our office in Mount Shasta, CA, to complete Joanna’s & AMI's multisplendored collection.
This priviledge has provided me with great fulfillment and satisfaction as well as growthful evolution. I am especially grateful to help co-create and offer this collection of artwork and inspiring representations as I have been a complete fan of the Sacred Images for as long as they have been available at many of my favorite bookstores and gift stores around the U.S.
I am happy to be part of the AMI team as we expand our offerings and bring more art and artists to the eyes of many. I also enjoy developing my own skills to allow AMI to reach out and serve a greater customer base more successfully.
I find this vehicle allows me the opportunity to continue to learn and share the truth that guides all of us.
Simultaneously, I have been pursuing my primary lifelong interest of exploring, studying, working and practicing in the field of wholistic healing. Specifically, I had delved deeply into the practice of Ayurveda over the last decade, coming back from studying this science in India and Nepal just in time to join AMI's team. The result of this research allowed me to develop and offer the latest addition to our Awareness Guides collection featuring this rich tradition.
I now utilize Ayurvedic principles and therapies to serve and educate patients, students and other healers at my home Health Care center as well as at other schools, venues and events.
I am happy that I can serve AMI’s customers as well, supporting harmony, development and illumination through our ever-growing variety of consciousness-raising items. I feel these products facilitate greater love and understanding through clarity and inspiration, allowing each of us to be aware of and enjoy our common humanity and beautiful planet more harmoniously.

I'm Judith, and I've been a part of the AMI Team for the past 8 years. I first heard of the Ascended Masters 27 years ago when I was living in New Hampshire. I remember experiencing an inner thrill as well as a very strong curiosity to know more about them. My destiny eventually brought me to Mt. Shasta, and I felt the magic and magnetism of this mountain and soon fell in love with camping, hiking and spending as much time on the mountain as possible. For me, nature has always been my cathedral for inner peace and contemplation of life.
During that time, I was privileged to meet a wonderful person named Pearl who held weekly gatherings in her living room and shared discourses by the Ascended Masters as well as her own channeled messages that greatly inspired our intimate group gatherings.
Over the past several years my spiritual circle has expanded to include enlightened deities from many other sacred lineages known throughout the world. I've been fortunate to attend many Tibetan Buddhist events and visiting Lamas right here in my own back yard of Mt. Shasta. I truly feel the connectedness of all beings and feel grateful to be doing work which allows me to share my truth by sharing and distributing beautiful pictures of the masters and deities. I've learned that the greatest wealth is realizing our true infinite nature, and these sacred images serve as mirrors and reminders of our own Divine inheritance.

We continuously enjoy exploring this most inspiring, powerful area, famous for its vortices and magnetic energy that draws people to it from all over the world. The awesome beauty and natural riches it offers replenishes us and energizes us in our work and play!...
