THE KEY TO YOUR SPIRITUAL VICTORY
WITH THE MASTERS OF FREEDOM: THE GODDESS OF LIBERTY,
THE GODDESS OF FREEDOM, SAINT GERMAIN, GODFRE AND OTHERS
2016 SUMMER EVENTS
INFORMATION GUIDE
Welcome!
Dear Friends of Light and Seekers of Truth,
Our summer conference this year is dedicated
to defending and upholding the flame of freedom
for the earth. This is relevant and timely as we see
the sacred freedoms threatened almost everywhere and people denied their God-given right
to live in a free society and pursue individual soul
freedom.
Throughout the conference we will explore
the inner meaning of freedom, its divine origins,
the social-political conditions in which we live,
and together focus our energies on turning
around the downward spiral of anti-freedom for
the benefit of planet earth and her people. The great gift of freedom, the violet flame,
will be a large part of our prayer sessions. And you will learn about our exciting
Violet-Flame Challenge!
If you are new to the teachings of the ascended masters, you will find the
Essentials of the Teachings Program very helpful in introducing the teachings
and assisting you to begin walking the spiritual path taught by the masters.
So, please join us! Make your plans now to come to the pristine mountains of
Montana for our largest event of the year. This is truly a holy place, endowed with
great beauty and teeming with wildlife. It is the place prepared for your soul to meet
your Real Self and friends of light from around the world. This sacred land, called the
Inner Retreat, is where the ascended masters have delivered timeless and priceless
teachings through their messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet.
Together, you and your family will share spiritual enrichment, enjoying a variety of
devotional and community activities. Children and teens will share in fun, age-specific
activities as well! And, while you’re here, consider visiting nearby Yellowstone and
Grand Teton National Parks.
Whether you are a longtime student or new to the teachings of the masters, we
hope you will join us for this very special experience and celebration at Freedom 2016
at the Inner Retreat. We truly believe you will experience a new understanding and
renewed commitment to defend freedom.

Rev. Valerie McBride
President
Here is what the Goddess of Freedom said about her mission:
I
remember the day when the messenger
discovered me in my statue that is above the
nation’s Capitol. And I remember her pondering
on my heart and her recognition of myself as
more than a mere statue but, indeed, as the
cosmic embodiment of Cosmic Freedom to all
systems of worlds. And I am grateful that the
thoughtform of my Presence did indeed find its
way to that Capitol dome....
Beloved ones, I have been under the order
of the Solar Logoi in higher octaves beyond
higher octaves—higher than you might
realize. And only from time to time have
I been allowed to truly roll up my
sleeves and get involved with the
sons and daughters of freedom on
planet earth.... I have much to
tell you....
I AM the Goddess of Freedom.
My hour has come. Your hour has
come. We are teammates! Let us go
forward and play to win!
—The Goddess of Freedom, July 4, 1992
The Goddess of Freedom released only
two dictations through our messengers
and we will be replaying both of these
during this conference.

• The ascended master views on socialism, communism,
capitalism and their spiritual consequences.
• The joint efforts of capitalists and communists to grasp control and power,
and how this has affected society and cultures around the world.
• Why America? Learn how the ascended masters worked with America’s founding
fathers to establish the United States of America as an example for all nations to
embrace freedom. Discover the role that we are intended to play to carry that vision
forward and what the masters have said about
other nations and their role in establishing
freedom in the earth.

of the messenger the fragments of your soul, lost or
given to others through the ages, will be compelled

wholeness. Participation in

Conference Highlights
DECREE and PRAYER SESSIONS
Engage in dynamic decree sessions focused on turning back opposition to
world freedom in education, government, economics, the media and more.
AMETHYST BLESSING
Bring your amethyst jewelry and amethyst crystals for a transfer of light by
Archangel Zadkiel through Mark Prophet’s bishop’s ring. This ring was charged by
Archangel Zadkiel for the purpose of transmitting his vibration to the amethysts of
Keepers of the Flame®.
HEART CHAKRA and THIRD-EYE BLESSINGS
The heart chakra blessing is for opening your heart, clearing your heart, and for an
increment of light to enter your heart. The blessing takes place using Elizabeth Clare
Prophet’s ruby crystal.
The third-eye blessing is for the sealing of the servants
of God in their forehead, a blessing which is described in
chapter 7 of the Book of Revelation, where an angel
requests that God’s servants be sealed. This blessing is
sponsored by Saint Germain. It gives protection and the
vision of one’s divine plan and seals the soul in times of
great change.
And I heard the number
of them which were sealed:
and there were sealed an
hundred and forty and four
thousand of all the tribes
of the children of Israel.
These blessings will take place at the conclusion of the
conference.
—Rev. 7:4

Sacraments and Rituals
For more information on any of these sacraments,
contact Denise Adams at [email protected].
Presentations in the Temple Ceremony This ritual is in
commemoration of the hour when Jesus was six weeks
old and was presented in the temple by his parents,
Joseph and Mary. In our ritual, we receive newborns
and present them to the mighty I AM Presence at the
altar in King Arthur’s Court.
Baptism The first sacrament in Church Universal and
Triumphant® is a sacred step on the spiritual path and a
cleansing of the soul. In baptism we dedicate ourselves
to the fulfillment of the will of God—the divine blueprint held in God’s heart for each life.
First Holy Communion This devotional ceremony is for
children who have completed their lessons to receive
their First Holy Communion. The course of instruction
preparatory for First Holy Communion is on love and
respect—for God, for Jesus, for ourselves and each
other, and for the holiness of the Christ light.
Confirmation Through this sacrament, each candidate
has the opportunity to confirm the teachings of the
ascended masters through study and service. The
blessing and love of the Holy Spirit conveyed through
this sacrament can be an inner help to strengthen your
tie to Christ and to Buddha. This sacrament is offered to
those who have completed the lessons.
Communicant Initiation Becoming a communicant of
Church Universal and Triumphant® means committing
to the ascended masters’ way of life as a member of the
church. Before applying to become a communicant, you
must be a Keeper of the Flame® on lesson 8 or above,
subscribe to the Pearls of Wisdom® and attend the
Communicant Class during the conference, which is
conducted in English and in Spanish.

HIKING
The back country of the Inner Retreat, because
of its elevation and location in the Rocky Mountains,
presents unique challenges to those who are not
familiar with the terrain and locale. For this reason,
only hikes authorized by The Summit Lighthouse®
will be allowed in the back country of the Inner
Retreat from June 16 through July 18. You can learn
more about hiking at the Information Tent, where
you can also register for the July 5 hike.
MAITREYA MOUNTAIN GUIDED HIKE
Tuesday, July 5
On July 5, the day after the conference, Maitreya
Mountain is reserved for special guided hikes. If you
plan to join the hike, please register at the Information
Tent by July 4 and pay the $5 fee to cover expenses.
Because of the rigors of the backcountry, high altitude,
weather and wildlife (such as bears and mountain
lions), The Summit Lighthouse® and its authorized
hiking guides have the latitude to determine whether
a participant is fit for the pilgrimage to Maitreya
Mountain or any other backcountry hike on the
property. The hike is 5 miles (8km) roundtrip with
1,900' (600m) elevation gain and will take 4–5 hours.
If you plan to hike, please bring the following
required gear:
• a rain jacket with hood
• a backpack to carry your items in
• at least one quart of drinking water
(if weather is hot you may need more)
• synthetic or wool sweater or jacket
• broken-in hiking shoes or boots
• sunscreen or protective hat/clothing
• insect repellant
• a sandwich or bag lunch (available to buy
in cafeteria in the morning)

DRESS CODE
In honor of ascended masters, angels and beings of
light, we embrace a dress code that is casual though neat,
modest and clean for all events and locations affiliated with
The Summit Lighthouse®. Conferees are asked to follow the
dress code when at the Inner Retreat. Please refrain from
wearing muscle shirts, spaghetti straps or tank tops, short
shorts, or anything tight-fitting or low-cut, with the
exception that modest shorts and swimwear may be worn
for outdoor recreation. You may want to bring at least one
dressy outfit for special events such as the Fourth of July
waltz. We also ask that conferees, out of respect for others
who may have chemical sensitivities, only lightly use
essential oils, perfumes and other products with fragrances.
HEALTH NOTICE
To make certain that everyone who attends events at the Inner Retreat has a safe
and enjoyable stay, we ask that you carefully consider the following before you make
plans to come: (1) In the event that you or a member of your family needs medical
assistance while attending the summer events, please be aware that nursing or medical
care is not available at the Inner Retreat. The nearest hospital, in Livingston, Montana,
is an hour’s drive from the event site. The closest medical facility (with limited hours)
is a 30-minute drive to Mammoth, Wyoming, in Yellowstone National Park. Rural
ambulance service is available from Gardiner and Mammoth, and response times can
be 30 minutes or longer. (2) The conference site is located at an altitude of 5,200 feet
(1,600 meters). Some people who live near sea level can experience shortness of
breath at this altitude. Conferees often walk outside in hot, cold, windy, and/or rainy
conditions over somewhat rugged terrain. (3) We strongly recommend that individuals affected by altitude or with other chronic health conditions consult a physician
before attending our programs. We reserve the right to require individuals challenged
by health conditions and/or advanced age to provide in advance of registration a
signed physician approval to attend and/or be accompanied by a personal caretaker.
PETS
Because of the large number of people and especially children at the events, pets
are not allowed.

Summit University Summer Seminar
®
TEACHINGS OF THE ASCENDED MASTERS®
THE PATH OF THE EASTERN ADEPT
Discover the Science of the Spirit
with El Morya and Kuthumi
WEDNESDAY, JULY 6 – SUNDAY, JULY 10
In 1875, a group of mysterious beings, secluded in the hidden recesses of the
Himalayas, began an experiment of momentous impact: to reveal the existence of
the Masters of Wisdom and their teachings to the world. They started a revolution in
spirituality that reverberates around the world to this day.
El Morya and Kuthumi were the best-known spokesmen for the Great White Brotherhood at that time. From
their lives and teachings in the late nineteenth century—
just before they ascended—we can glean tremendous
insights about the path of adeptship and how they
trained their chelas.
But the story of the adepts does not stop there. They continue to
teach us today, and they urge us to follow in their footsteps and become adepts
ourselves—because the world needs it! So what does it take, and where do we start?
Attend this seminar and find out!
TOPICS INCLUDE:
• The spiritual path seen through the eyes of the
Eastern adepts El Morya and Kuthumi
•
Methods and stages of initiation, taken from
Elizabeth Clare Prophet’s “Darshan with the
Messenger” series
• Teachings by Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare
Prophet on The Mahatma Letters, the Bhagavad
Gita, mindfulness and the guru-chela relationship
•
Dictations on adeptship by Saint Germain, El Morya,
Mother Mary, Gautama Buddha and Lord Maitreya
•
Step-by-step meditation and visualization training
•
An exploration of critical pitfalls on the path
•
A group project on world service
We are ready to transfer to
you blessings and initiations
and an impetus for greater
life within your temple.

Volunteers In Action
You are invited to volunteer during the 2016 summer
events! It’s a joy to serve alongside your spiritual brothers and
sisters as you absorb the outpouring of the masters’ love and
light at the Inner Retreat! Many say that their volunteering
helps them to experience community in a whole new way
and they discover their service is a key to integrating with
the spiritual teachings.
Here are key opportunities for service before and during
the 2016 Summer Events:
June 1 – June 27
THE EARLY BIRD PROGRAM
The early bird gets…lots of opportunity! That’s right.
Come early and help in the kitchen, in housekeeping, or with
other teams preparing for the summer events. Participate in

while spending your days in service with some time for fun in
the fresh mountain air!

Technology / Communication Limitations: Due to the Royal Teton Ranch’s location in rural Montana, there are
significant limitations with communication options. The only cell phone service available is Verizon, and it is
spotty —no other cell phone providers operate in the area. Landline phones are available and calling cards can
be purchased in the bookstore. Internet bandwidth and WiFi access are limited. The bandwidth does not allow
video stream­­­­ing or other resource-intensive use. We apologize for these constraints. They are a result of our
beautiful, sacred location in a wilderness area.
PLEASE NOTE: We reserve the right to refuse admittance or to dismiss anyone from participation in event
programs and/or the Inner Retreat property.
