Throughout the process you have referred to this current or juice or the flow of energy in your lives. That current really dictated our lives in a lot of ways. We’ll do it,” without knowing where that was going to go. This current has had its own life, and my job, in particular, was to stay in touch with it and respond to it and set something up if it felt like, “Okay, this is next. Michele: There has always been a current within the Lightsmith experience, or whatever you call it. My part, I think, was to help bring some visibility and form to something that is otherwise pretty intangible. We finally came to understand - which I think Michele always knew, it took me longer - that there was something in motion that we were respecting and responding to without understanding where it was taking us. We weren’t creating dogma or…Ĭhris: A methodology. It did take me a few years to realize that Lightsmith was not selling something. I came out of a business background and was used to marketing or packaging things - and so Lightsmith was born.

I had been channeling since 1983, so my work preceded the Lightsmith event or creation, but when Chris came along, he put some structure on it.Ĭhris LaFontaine: The idea behind Lightsmith was to bring some form to something that seemed to be in motion.

Michele Mayama: We formed Lightsmith, itself, in 1994, when we were getting ready to do some big events at Lake Harriet (Spiritual Community). They were thankful for the opportunity to share with you, through this conversation, their sense of what has passed and what is yet to come.įor someone not acquainted with your work, how would you summarize what Lightsmith has done these past 20 to 25 years? It was the end of an era in which some of us witnessed the dedication of two souls to do all they could to support the energetic changes taking place on the planet - helping individuals make sense of the chaos in their personal lives in the midst of our collective merging with higher dimensional frequencies.Ĭhris and Michele plan to keep moving forward, as Chris continues to embrace his lifelong interest in photography and music, as Michele continues to offer personal healing and mentoring sessions with clients seeking a helping hand during these turbulent times, as the two of them together find new ways to express what Spirit is manifesting through all of us. It signaled more than the end of public channelings. And so have you, which is why you understand what is coming to a close.” We have stayed the course, we have moved as directed, we have done our work, we have given 100 percent to the plan. We have assisted those of Spirit and Earth to accomplish what was agreed upon eons ago. Our original need to exist has completed, our raison d’être fulfilled. In September, in a heartfelt website post entitled “Lightsmith’s Last Hurrah,” Chris wrote: “It is time. Lightsmith recently announced that its public events have come to an end. And above all, they supported those who resonated with the messages and encouraged them with laughter and love. They listened to Spirit and made many travels abroad to facilitate shifts in the planet’s energetic grid.

This interview documents the end of one chapter and the beginning of another for Lightsmith, the partnership between channel and healer Michele Mayama and her co-facilitator and photographer-in-residence Chris LaFontaine, two mainstays in the spiritual community of the Twin Cities since the early 1990s.įor several decades, Lightsmith has produced gatherings in which Michele allowed spiritual guidance - messages from the archangels, Yeshua and other masters, and the Earth Mother herself - to come through her to support our personal and collective transformation.
