Maggie Battista
Embodied Soul Philosophy, Ancestral Wisdom, and Sacred Practice
Where your Soul becomes your bridge to the field, your ancestors speak, and you emerge into the fullness of who you came here to be
If you've been collecting signs you don't quite understand—feeling a pull toward something you can't name, sensing that your life is meant for more than what it currently holds—you are not lost. You are being called. And you are not alone.
This is a place for people who are ready to stop circling and start arriving. To hear their Soul. To meet their ancestors. To remember what they came here for.
Between the heart of the sky and the heart of the earth—your Soul is the bridge.
Welcome. I'm so glad you're here.
Sit With Me at the Altar
30 or 60 minutes—on Zoom or in person in Santa Fe
I'll open the channel between you, your Soul, and the ones who walk beside you — your ancestors, your guides, your energetic allies — and deliver what they most want you to hear right now. You'll receive what your Soul most needs you to know.
Hi, I’m Maggie Battista.
I help you see more of yourself so you may be more of yourself.
I am a Soul Philosopher, Sacred Bridge, and Ancestral Medium. My work lives at the intersection of soul philosophy, ancestral wisdom, and sacred practice—where your Soul becomes your bridge to the field, your ancestors speak, and you emerge into the fullness of who you came here to be. In this and all dimensions.
I am an oracle and channeler, a ceremonialist, a writer and storyteller. I work in the space between dimensions—channeling ancestral wisdom, holding Cacao ceremony, transmitting what wants to come through for the collective. My work emerges from my own becoming. I share only what I have lived and integrated first.
Before this chapter, I spent nearly 30 years building brands, businesses, and communities. The practical and the mystical are not opposites in my world. They never have been.
I built The Altar because I needed it first. I'm so glad you're here.
The Altar Membership
“Being a member of The Altar has been such a precious and valuable experience for me already. At the same time, it’s a container, a community, a ritual, a space for reflection and a place to learn from Maggie’s rich framework on the Soul. I’ve been exploring spiritual traditions for over 30 years and have had many revelatory experiences and teachers over the decades. Yet, everything Maggie shares sparks a new level of insight or connection for me. Her philosophy is authentic, deep, and fresh.”

September Gatherings in The Altar
** Hosted live on Zoom with replays
Cacao Ritual & Meditation—11am MT on Tuesday, September 8—8 Toj
We open with Cacao and move into a guided meditation at the fire. Toj is the day we tend the flame and the flame tends us. Together, we make our offerings and we receive what the fire returns to us—and in the balance of the two, we see what wholeness looks like now.
Collective Ancestor Reading on 12 Kame—11am MT on Friday, September 25—12 Kame
We gather with the ancestors and I read for the circle. All month, we have been listening to the timing of our own lives—what is unfolding, what is arriving, what is building toward the next step. Now we bring those questions to the ones who walk beside us and let them answer. Come with what you have been sitting with, and come ready to hear what they want you to carry forward.
A Sacred Bridge Ceremony—10am MT on Sunday, September 27—1 Q’anil
On Sunday, September 27, I open a Sacred Bridge Ceremony online, a morning of reverence where your Soul becomes the bridge between the heart of the sky and the heart of the earth. Ceremonial Cacao, a Sacred Bridge teaching transmission, Kundalini sound journey, and sacred council with the ancestors, held from your own altar, anywhere in the world. On a day that carries the energy of planting new seeds, we gather in reverence of your emergence and the sacred gifts you came here to carry.
Members of The Altar come in at a reduced rate—$144 rather than $188—reserve your space if it calls to you.
The Altar is a sacred virtual home for women who sense there is more—more to who they are. More to their lineage. More to what they came here to create.
The Altar teaches you to listen, to attune, to trust what you hear through two live gatherings per month, several audio transmissions, sacred timing guidance, and shared emergence in community.

“I am really enjoying the transmissions and virtual gatherings. The Altar feels like a space that I get to show up and be seen just as I am. There is genuine care and compassion in this space. Part of the magic is we all show up not just for ourselves, but for each other. Maggie and each member listens and holds space with such care. When I leave a gathering or after I have listened to a transmission, I am able to give myself even more compassion. Because this container is so gently held, it allows growth, reflection, and expansion in so many aspects of my life. Thank you for your offerings and holding the space.”
