About Jeshua:

Jeshua is my teacher.  I love him more than I can say.

Jeshua is Jesus’s name in the original Aramaic, as he prefers it.  He is a Universal Master who has been assisting us from the ascended realms since his life on earth. For example, it is widely known that he channeled A Course In Miracles, and also has been involved in other projects such as the Emmanuel books through channel Pat Rodegast, and Jayem’s Way of the Heart curriculum.  He appeared to Glenda Greene in her studio and she painted several portraits of him, the one shown here is my favorite.

Jeshua by Glenda Greene

In November 2003, Jeshua created a project with Master Kuthumi and Archangel Michael to assist humanity with our awakening process, both because we are ready for it and because this is a crucial time for the New Earth, as it has become known, as we continue to welcome the New Age and navigate the energies of  Ascension. That project became known as The Apprenticeship to Awakening Divinity.

About Jennifer:

My name is Jennifer Donaldson. After many years in Vermont, I live now in Cape Elizabeth, Maine.  I attended the New Seminary’s accelerated program in 2005,  and became ordained as an Interfaith minister in New York City, by the Interfaith Temple, in June 2006.  Interfaith ministry is becoming more widely known these days. Our overall mission is to honor all spiritual paths, thereby healing the divisions and competition that maintain separation in this world,  separation from each other and from our Source.

My background is Christian, specifically, Episcopalian, but my theology has broadened and deepened to include Unitarian Universalism, elements of Hinduism and Buddhism, as well as an intuitive appreciation of the Earth-based religions, an emotional leaning toward all the mystical traditions, and a deep understanding of metaphysics.  My personal practice includes meditation, chanting, study of sacred texts and contemporary prophecy,  prayer, yoga and dance, playing with my grandchildren, and connecting with nature.  Walking the beach, for me, is both holy and ecstatic!

In 2005, my own spiritual quest led me to The Apprenticeship with Jeshua through trance channel Lesley Michaels. For seven years  I developed wholeheartedly with the teachings offered through this channel, first from Jeshua and Mary Magdalen, then later,  the bodhisattva Quan Yin, the angel Alashara, and ultimately, Divine Father and Mother.  I’ve come to a place of much joy and light (enlightenment!)  I’ve remembered the I AM –the Love that we All Are.  I am deeply and profoundly grateful to Lesley and all my teachers in the Ascended realms.  Now I am called to teach and share with others, so that we all may come to the peace and joy of our conscious divinity together.

Ministry, since 2006,  has included – besides teaching these spiritual courses –  hospital chaplaincy, guest preaching, and leading chanting circles.  I’ve found that people may not have a religious affiliation but will continue to have spiritual needs, such as for sacred ceremonies for life’s transitions. It has been my great joy to be present in my minister capacity at these times, conducting loving memorials/funerals or officiating at joyous marriages. For many years, I maintained a pottery studio in Vermont, for fun and creativity,  leading workshops for children and adults.  Our women’s pottery group did an annual Empty Bowls Supper for many years, raising money for the local Food Shelf, and other non-profits working to address hunger.  Since moving to Maine in 2014, I have been volunteering with both Hospice and the Center for Grieving Children, through their Intercultural Program for immigrant students from war-torn countries. 

My life is full and joyous, a mix of ministry and family.  I have been happily married for 45 years to John Donaldson, an extraordinary bowl turner and lover of the forest, and a songwriter.  We have two adult children, and four grandkids. In the past few years, we’ve devoted a great deal of time and energy to helping to care for our little twin granddaughters.  They are our constant delight!!

About Lesley:

Lesley Michales is the most amazing human being!  In addition to being a superb pure trance channel (she is able to leave her body to allow the higher energies to access her voice and the language centers of the brain, a rare skill and one that necessitates a soul contract from childhood),  Lesley is also a great humanitarian and follows her vision in many ways serving humanity and Mother Earth.

Her book Just Roll Over And Float is about the great shift of 2012, and is a compilation of some of Jeshua’s teachings, which he downloaded to her  (i.e. since she was out of her body during the channeled sessions, he filled her in!)  She is currently at work on a new book, due later this year.

I have felt extraordinarily blessed to learn with Lesley during these years of radical and passionate spiritual growth.

About Through The Rose:

Through The Rose was founded in 2007 under the guidance of Jeshua and Mary Magdalen.  After attaining teacher certification of the Apprenticeship courses, I began to offer this ascension path to the public. This is my sacred service to the planet.  Many beloved individuals have now integrated this amazing teaching during these years.

Through the Rose‘s name expresses the emergence of the Divine Feminine energies on our Mother Earth.  This is evolving as we integrate the Divine Masculine energies of the Shift and come into balance on the New Earth. The Rose is the ancient symbol of the Divine Feminine and also the western version of the lotus of spiritual awakening. I have chosen the star as the symbol for the Divine masculine,  and together the star and the rose stand for the marriage of heaven and earth as we become Universal humans in full recognition of our multi-dimensional selves.
