Our Sacred Journey

Women once understood our spiraling physical, sensual, sexual, emotional, psychological, and spiritual development, within the natural wisdom of The Maiden, The Mother, and The Crone, and the many transitions that bridge these seasons of The Triple Goddess in nature.

Offering a map to weave the worlds of the spiritual and the physical, mythologies, our ancient her-stories, were passed on through time, from hearth to hearth, grandmother to daughter, woman to woman, womb to womb, before they were burned, buried, forgotten, and made taboo.

While entering the wild unknown of our own spiritual and sexual awakening through menarche, pregnancy, birth, and menopause, these stories would have once offered us doorways into cultivating our power as a natural innate and simultaneously shamanic holy wisdom process of feminine maturity.

Our week together will be a journey of resurrecting this living wisdom through the ancient Goddess mythologies of Greece, rediscovering the purest source of truth within our alive pulsating bodies, and the library of wisdom that our Mother Earth has always contained.

This will be our journey together…

The Oracle
Day One

We begin our journey on the day of arrival with our Opening Ceremony traveling back in time to the ancient temples of Priestesses all across the world. In the image of the Oracle of Delphi, we open deeper into our personal and group inquiry surrounding who the Priestess was before the time of patriarchy.

Arriving to the temples of our own bodies, we place our intentions upon the altar of ourselves, asking a deeper wisdom and knowing within us to reveal her truth throughout the week. We will also lay the foundation for the many feminine dimensions we will be opening throughout the week, in a remembrance of the Priestess of Gaia within. These gateways will include: Wild Belonging, Blood Mysteries, Womb Sovereignty, Sacred Pleasure, Cronedom Come, and Death & Rebirth.

Wild Belonging
Day Two

There is a purity, an innocence, a raw primal freedom, that we come into this world with. For many of us, we learn to reject this authentic nature that flows within us as ecstasy, contorting ourselves into wooden dolls of who our family, our society, our culture tells us we are “supposed” to be as female.

While the word “virgin” has become synonymous with a woman who has never been vaginally entered by a man, the ancient definition of “virgin” is “sovereign.” A woman whole unto herself. We begin our journey together with the virginal Maiden goddesses who remind us of our own free wild spirit in sensual innocence with the natural world.

We will travel with the Goddess Artemis, she of the moon and the hunt, tracing back to her more ancient origins as the bear Goddess who protected all innocent creatures of the wild. Unhooking ourselves from the collective conditioning of our bodies and our souls belonging to another, we re-belong ourselves back to ourselves, and ultimately back to the wild pulse of Life.

Blood Mysteries
Day Three

The pure wild freedom of virginal sovereignty is an absolutely essential facet of our whole nature, one that we must return to again and again, to know the core of who we are beyond our roles and relationships. And… we are also designed to reach and stretch into new dimensions of our being… into our fertility and in turn into our sexuality.

This time happens naturally and organically within the female body and in the deep feminine psyche, through the journey of menarche, a Woman’s Coming of Age. Menarche is the time when our bodies begin ripening, our womb awakening, preparing us for the season of summer, meeting with desire, eros, and the dark side of our nature.

In a culture that has long buried this essential feminine wisdom, and framed the female body as an object for the pleasure, food, and production of others, many of us experience our Coming of Age into Womanhood, and a subsequent Descent to the Underworld as frightening, demonic, “bad” or “wrong”, and often traumatic.

Together we will return to this season within our own life journey, with the Maiden Goddess Persephone, accompanied by the Mother Goddess Demeter, and the Crone Goddess Hekate, initiating ourselves back into the deep feminine mysteries that live within our blood. We will receive and reclaim the power of menstruation, deep feminine desire, and the Underworld Queen, as hidden keys to discovering our power as seasonal cyclical beings who flow with the tides of nature.

Womb Sovereignty
Day Four

As we reawaken the womb and her long forgotten melodies, we return to the ancient memories of when the female body was revered as the Source of Life. In remembering this time of sacred recognition, we will also remember the time when she was dethroned and stripped of her innate power. In meeting these parts, we also meet with the profound depths of grief and rage that exist within the collective feminine emotional body.

All across the world exist stories of when the Priestesses were cast out of the temples to be exiled in the deep forests as the fearsome witch, to be sexually controlled as temple prostitutes or by taking chastity vows, and to be punished, burned, tortured, demonized, or imprisoned for honoring their own spiritual and sensual connection with the feminine pulse of Life.

In the mirror of the Temple Priestess and Snake Goddess Medusa, we heal the collective Priestess Wound through the demon gargoyle created by the Goddess of Wisdom Athena. We bring to life these two sisters within us: the one who was wounded for her feminine nature and the one who demonized her feminine nature for protection. Welcoming the fullness of grief and rage surrounding personal, ancestral, past lifetime, and collective womb violations, we restore wholeness to this split in the collective female psyche that has long distrusted the feminine wild.

Sacred Pleasure
Day Five

Blossoming into deeper maturity through the reclamation of our Wild Belonging, Blood Mysteries, and Womb Sovereignty, we reawaken the Mother Goddess as the Queen of Beauty, Fertility, Sensuality, and Sacred Pleasure.

Archaeological artifacts have been discovered in recent decades all across the world, revealing that our earliest human religions worshipped the female body as God. Birth was considered the holiest of the holies, for it was recognized that the ability of the female body to bring new life into the world was the very expression of Creation. Once upon a time the Mother was the Creatrix of All Life, and all was born in Her image, from her yoni.

In the aftermath of thousands of years of puritanical and patriarchal religions that have demonized and shamed the female body while simultaneously over-sexualizing it, it can feel challenging to truly access the pure, natural, and sacred rivers of pleasure that flow through the feminine form. For this reason, the resurrection of our Sacred Pleasure is an Ancient Revolution. Ancient because this was once what we knew to be true and we can remember it now. Revolution because for so long we have been taught to forget and it requires profound devotion to restore what has always been true within the body and the psyche.

Together we will summon the power of the Goddess Aphrodite, beloved across the world in her many forms also as Inanna, Astarte, Asherah, Oshun, Ixchel, Quan Yin, Lakshmi, and far more than even have names today. With Aphrodite we celebrate and cherish the Goddess given gifts of our womanhood, while being celebrated and cherished in a circle of women, recreating a Mother culture that honors the inherent divinity of Sexuality, Fertility, Pregnancy, Birth, Motherhood, Marriage, and Love.

Cronedom Come
Day Six

The full bloom of Motherhood is a beautiful season to cherish, and it also doesn’t last forever, nor is it designed that way. We are meant to also shed our leaves, to free ourselves once again from responsibilities, and to return to our virginal sovereignty as the one who has also been made wise. We are meant to not only be Maidens and Mothers but to also be Crones.

But for many of us, that can be a very fearsome transition, because deep in the bottom of our collective disconnection from the beauty and the power of the feminine, we discover the rejection, denial, and displacement of the Wise Woman. In Matriarchal tradition, the Crone, She Who No Longer Bleeds, the one who crossed the magical threshold of Menopause, is the initiatrix and the keeper of the deep feminine mysteries.

What have we lost in a culture that has dishonored the season of Cronedom among women, and coupled a woman’s value with how much her body produces in Motherhood through childbearing male heirs for her king, and how pleasing her body is to the eyes of men in Maidenhood through her virginal sexuality? As we discover… the loss is monumental.

Trusting into feminine power and resurrecting the knowing of the inner oracle, requires being refined by every season and cycle of nature through spring, summer, autumn, and winter, through menarche, motherhood, and menopause, life, death, and rebirth. Embracing the wild power of the Crone means also embracing the face of the Dark Goddess as Lady Death. With death on our side, we reclaim our ability to see in and through the dark, to dismantle distortion, and to no longer be victim or prey to falsity, shiny distractions, wolves in sheep clothing, and life entrapping lies.

Together we will summon the Wise Women across time and space, within our lineages, within our soul memories, within the memories of the land, within the faces and reflections of the Wise Women in our circle, and within the Crone Goddesses in our ancient mythologies, restoring reverence to the power of the feminine in this exalted season of life.

In doing so, we return to a far vaster landscape of the true beauty of the feminine in all of her expressions, also in the season of endings and death. We restore the inner and outer Protectress of both the Maiden and the Mother, as the Grandmother who lends us her perspective that enables to us be wise in every season of our lives.

Death & Rebirth
Day Seven

At the end of our journey we return back to our cyclical understanding of the endless ebbs and flows of life, death, and rebirth. Beyond the fear of a punishing wrathful creator, we restore our own rightful place in the heart womb of the unconditionally loving, all encompassing, mercilessly merciful wisdom body of Life.

The ancient Greeks had many Gods and Goddesses within their cosmology, but they believed that none of these deities were the Creatrix. Rather, the elementals were the forces that created all of existence. These elementals, in ancient feminine shamanic cultures, were mapped through seasonal wheels that offered a grounded and practical wisdom about the nature of life, as guiding forces on our path. Through aligning with these seasons and elementals, we align with the very forces of life that bestow us with wisdom.

Bringing our whole feminine journey to completion, with Gaia we dance the spiraling dance of creation, summoning all of the elementals as the paradoxical qualities of nature that weave us whole. Together we will retrace our journey, through the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone, within every season of our lives, bringing unity to the full tapestry of ourselves. We will integrate and celebrate the journey we have walked, reclaiming ourselves as Priestesses of Gaia, through the sacred path of living our lives as women here on Earth.
