New Ashla Spiritual and Philosophical Sanctuary
Temple of the Living Light and home to The Order of Luminari
The New Ashla Podcast explores emotional healing, shadow work, self-mastery, and spiritual growth without shortcuts or dogma. Through grounded conversations on trauma, ego, discipline, and integration, we help you understand why healing feels difficult and how real change happens. Guided by the Path of Ashla and Jungian psychology, each episode offers clarity, responsibility, and depth for those seeking wholeness, inner authority, and lasting transformation. Hosted by Justin V. Gates and Michael Perry.
Born from the same vision as New Ashla, Light in the Void Coaching is a space for personal guidance. Here, we uncover the patterns that keep you stuck, explore the wisdom within your struggles, and walk together toward healing, clarity, and deeper connection.
This is a sacred place of study and reflection for those who seek the betterment of the Self and by extension, the world around them.
We are a Universalistic organization in that we respect that there are Religions and Philosophies that are practiced independently from our Order that share common values and principles. We are open to anyone who pursues a path that serves the betterment of the self and others.”

For a long time, healing was treated as a thinking problem. If you could understand your trauma, reframe your thoughts, challenge your beliefs, and gain enough insight, the symptoms were supposed to resolve. And for some people, that helped. But for many others, it led to a confusing place: they understood everything, yet their body kept reacting anyway.
That disconnect is where somatic healing comes in.
Somatic healing is based on a simple but uncomfortable truth: trauma is not stored as a story. It’s stored as sensation.Long after the mind has moved on, the body remembers. Tightness. Numbness. Shallow breath. Hypervigilance. Collapse. Urgency. These aren’t thoughts. They’re physiological states.
You can’t think your way out of a body response.
