Dear Woman,

There are many legends woven throughout our creation stories, world religions, and ancient myths, that speak of the mystical voyage to the Holy Grail where all of the power of creation hides. Of the immortality bestowed to the ones who drink from the fountain of life.

Of a hidden Eden paradise home or Lost Lands that when recovered restore humanity back to Heaven on Earth. And of course of the twin flame destined to complete us and return us to divine love.

But what if the Holy Grail, the fountain of life, the Eden of Heaven on Earth, and the true twin flame are already living inside of us imprinted within every cell of our being, waiting for us to discover and remember the love within that has never and could never, ever leave?

What if this holiness that makes us the whole love that our heart womb has always longed for, is actually embedded in the places that we have all been conditioned to demonize and to deny? What if the light of our true nature is actually woven out of the darkness that hides in the collective wounds of our humanity?

What if all of this, is actually our power?

What if all of this, is our quest back to the truth of our nature, through the multi-dimensional and myriad faces of All-That-Is and of All-That-We-Are, shadow and light, body and soul, heart and womb, love and power, human and divine?

What if all of this, is our invitation to return to what could never leave us, to reclaim our inherent power that rebirths us all in love, to remember that we are the Queendoms of Heaven on Earth, and to birth a new world through this knowing?

What if all of this is our redemption?

Know Thyself

Thousands of years ago, these words were inscribed inside of the Temple of Luxor in Khemet, what is now known as ancient Egypt. “Know thyself” was an ancient Egyptian precept that was the invitation for every initiate into the mystery schools.

As an answer to the endless seeking through the question “who am I?”, “know thyself” was the guidance to discover the sacred from within the human vessel.

Know thyself was the invitation for self realization.

These words were appropriated by Socrates in ancient Greece, and were inscribed at the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, believed to have been channeled by the Pythia, the high priestess who served as a voice for Gaia, Mother Earth.

In the ancient Greek world, know thyself, or temet nosce, was the entire basis of philosophy (philosophia in Greek) which came from the Goddess of wisdom, Sophia, the feminine face of God, the feminine Christ.

In Her story, Sophia descends to the great abyss of dark matter, and through Her disconnection from the light of Heaven and Her separation from Her twin soul (Christ), She births our planet out of the blackness, and embodies this matter as Gaia, the living soul of Mother Earth.

But through patriarchy, Sophia became divided into the Heavenly Sophia and the Earthly Sophia.

Body and soul, spiritual and material, Heaven and Earth, became separate from one another. The body became a lesser than evil on the road to God.

Heaven became a place “out there” that we needed to repent in order to one day gain access to entry. Humanity discovered a void within ourselves, endlessly searching for “The One” to satisfy the ache.

Many of us have arrived to a time in our personal living mythology, where we are now standing at the doorway into the ancient mystery of our very own body and soul.

Many of us are now remembering, that “The One” and “the savior” are in fact hidden within the proverb know thyself.

In the spirit of the ancient mystery school traditions, Whole Woman Mystery School is a path for this self discovery, self gnosis, and self realization, through the many facets, expressions, and fragments of the feminine as nature within you.

Whole Woman Mystery School is a path for reunifying the separation of Gaia and Sophia, and remembering our bodies as the very temple of God.

This is the secret our priestess ancestors have been guarding and protecting for thousands of years, until someone within the lineage was ready to to remember once again.

Is that someone you?

A woman’s path of feminine power

When Sophia descends to the void, it is there that She discovers Her creative capacity to birth life. It is there, down in the darkness, that She discovers Her power.

In ancient India, power has long been known as shakti. As the feminine principle, shakti is all that exists. Shakti is not only the matter of our bodies and of our planet, but also the pulse of life that animates all form.

Shakti is One, and yet Her expressions are endless.

She is the waxing and waning light of the moon. The ripe fruit that bears heavy on branches and rots upon the ground. The crashing ocean waves and the flow of the river. She is birth, She is life, She is death. She is creation and destruction. She is nectar and She is blood.

She is the body and the soul of nature.

And yet, for thousands of years we have learned that some parts of Her total whole expression are distasteful, demonic, sinful, and separate from God. We have learned to fragment, hide, reject, reform, and refuse essential aspects of our own nature and to divorce ourselves from our wholeness in order to marry the patriarchy.

By consequence, we have denied ourselves our own power.

Contrary to what our cultural and religious doctrines have imposed upon humanity, true power is holy. True power is nature. True power is life. And this power is inherently feminine, for it is from the void, the Earth, and the womb of a woman, that all of life begins and ends.

A woman’s path of feminine power, is a journey of re-membering shakti, Goddess, nature, through every facet, feeling, emotion, expression, desire, and intuition that a woman already knows, but may have learned to deny herself through the ages.

As she meets with every face of the feminine nature within her own self, including and particularly the faces that initially appear foreign, she becomes whole again. It is this very wholeness that opens her access to the Source of power within her: Life.

Eventually, she comes to realize that her own power, life, all facets of herself, is the very medicine that heals not only herself, but a wounded world.

She remembers that she is and has always been the Holy Grail.

This is our journey in Whole Woman Mystery School, as we apprentice ourselves to nine faces of the feminine nature that reunify Body and Soul, Gaia and Sophia, and we reclaim every facet of ourselves as the power of Life.

This is a woman’s path of feminine power.

We are the Holy Grail.

Why women fear feminine power

The separation of Earthly Sophia and Heavenly Sophia can be most clearly recognized in the separation of the first women, Lilith and Eve, the two wives of Adam.

Lilith, Adam’s first wife, appears in the garden as a snake to tempt Eve to eat the forbidden apple. Eve eats the apple, tempts Adam to do the same, and the two are exiled from Eden and eternally punished by God.

Lilith is feminine power, reminding Eve to eat from Her own, as symbolized by the forbidden fruit, her sexuality, her womb, her power. And so we have learned never to trust feminine power.

We have learned that She is the temptress who exiles us from the Kingdom of God.

In grail legends, this very power is symbolized by a golden cup known as the Holy Grail. This cup is believed to grant immortality, and to restore the wastelands that deprive humanity from the Source of Love. Out of the cup is said to flow a fountain of life.

And yet… this cup is also dangerous if in the wrong hands. For to hold such a power can easily corrupt both Gods and men.

As our mystery schools have long known, the Holy Grail is in fact a woman’s womb. The chalice within the female body that is filled with the fluids that create, sustain, and destroy life.

The source of power exists inside of a woman’s body, and we have learned never to trust this place.

We have learned not only to distrust this place, but to distrust all aspects of the feminine, of ourselves, that emerge from this place. Including our desires, our sexuality, our passion, our emotions, our darkness, our shadows, and all that roots us into the magic of the lower realms.

Feminine power by nature is initiatory.

The Holy Grail that is the mystery of everlasting life through death, the wisdom of a woman’s body and her womb, does not grant instant access. Rather, it sends the initiate on a quest to discover the true nature of power, to come into right relationship with the power within oneself.

Women fear feminine power because we have been taught to fear our power.

And we have likely never been taught how to become wise custodians, priestesses, of this holy power within us, as a blessing for all of existence.

Choosing to trust your power will take you into the labyrinth of your own body and soul to rediscover the true nature of who and what you really are.

Your power will ask you to truly, deeply, totally, know thyself and reclaim your rightful place in the Queendom of Goddess for the well being of all.

Will you answer?

Welcome to Whole Woman Mystery School

Together for nine moon cycles, nine months, with nine archetypes of the feminine, we journey through a woman’s entire life cycle to awaken, deepen, retrieve, reclaim, embody, integrate, and embrace lost and forgotten pieces of our feminine souls as we access our full power and our greatest capacity to live, to serve, and to love from our Deep Feminine Source.

Each of our archetypes and the Goddesses we journey with through them, offer us doorways into facets of our feminine nature that are rich with magic, insight, beauty, healing, and potential. They are mirrors for the deepest wisdom and knowing within us, which is nature, and as we apprentice ourselves to their invitations we discover and remember our own greatest truth, that we are Nature in Her entirety.

Our Whole Woman feminine archetypes are the unique spiritual and biological facets of nature, and they follow a woman’s chronological physical, emotional, mental, sexual, and spiritual development as we birth, bloom, and die again and again as the nature that we are.

Both human and divine, mortal and immortal, our archetypes bridge the separation between the feminine twins of The Body and The Soul, reuniting the Earthly and Heavenly Sophia within ourselves.

Our journey will spiral through the gateways of...

The Body
The Daughter
The Sister
The Lover
The Mother
The Queen
The Priestess
The Wise Woman
The Soul

By journeying into these archetypes and their mysteries within us, healing the separation between The Body and The Soul, we have a profound opportunity to reclaim essential parts of ourselves and the feminine that have been oppressed, repressed, injured, underdeveloped, or abandoned not only within our personal lifetime but potentially for thousands of years within our lineage.

In the process, we reclaim a vast well of inner resources and our true role as women, birthers of life who are physical, emotional, sensual, and spiritual oracles for Gaia, Mother Earth.

We are nature itself, and reclaiming our wholeness is how we heal all wounds of separation personally and collectively.

We are the Mystery School.
We are the Truth.
We are the Way.

How it Works

Our journey together for nine moon spirals, nine months, through nine feminine archetypes, is a rebirth voyage where we travel though the passageways of womanhood from birth and mortality to death and immortality.

This journey is designed to offer you a complete and full experience of a woman’s lifetime, as you more deeply retrieve fragmented pieces from your past and bloom into invitations for your future, in the here and now.

Each archetype offers us a shamanic rite of passage, where we meet challenges and treasures of Her domains within us. As we accept and embrace these initiations we access more of our inherent power.

We emerge together reborn into fuller expressions of our whole selves for the well being of all.

To invite the full multi-dimensionality of each archetype within us, we approach this journey through the ancient shamanic mapping system of the Tree of Life where we enter the gateways of the three worlds: The Underworld, The Middleworld, The Upperworld.

In The Underworld we meet the shadows, the voices of the ancestors, the unconscious, and the wisdom that lives beneath the surface. In The Middleworld, we meet our lives, our relationships, our service in the world, and our daily embodied experiences of being a woman. Through The Upperworld we meet the light, the voices of the celestials, and the highest visions that want to be received and birthed here on Earth.

We whole-listically approach each archetype through all of these dimensions for our healing, awakening, and remembrance of the fullness of life as both physical and spiritual.

Every month (moon cycle) with each archetype, we step through four doorways of deepening and embodiment. We begin with our Foundations module as we welcome the archetypal energy to come alive in our body and psyche. Then we journey with three Goddesses who each reflect a different facet or nuance of the archetype for our deepening.

Our apprenticeship includes both live online group circles as well as self journeying and self study in your own time, weaving the transmission into your daily life through recorded mythological herstory transmissions, recorded embodiment practices, recorded vision quests, and in depth written guides filled with rituals, ceremonies, and self reflection.

We journey together for nine months, but Whole Woman is a life process.

Our apprenticeship is designed to support you in embodying the fullness of who you most truly are as you continue to grow and blossom throughout the entirety of your life.

If you are ready to embrace, embody, retrieve, and resource the fullness of your womanhood as medicine for yourself, your lineage, your service, our world, and the evolution of humanity in reverence of the feminine nature of creation, we warmly welcome you to join us for Whole Woman Mystery School.

Our Archetypal Journey

Together in our Whole Woman Mystery School apprenticeship we spiral through nine archetypes of woman for nine moon cycles from The Body to The Soul, following our spiritual, emotional, sexual, and physiological development.

These archetypes are beyond characters in the psyche or roles we fulfill as women. They are celestial and elemental energies of creation, rivers of consciousness with a life force of their own, that weave wholeness through our Earth, our Cosmos, and all that is. When we approach them directly, we awaken their magic in our lives, not only psychologically, but cellularly.

Each archetype is infinite in her gateways and carries unique medicine for each of us personally, ancestrally, and collectively. You can consider them allies for life, as they shapeshift through seasons, cycles, and expansions on your unique path.

This is our journey together…

The Body

Rhythm, Sensuality, Life Force
Gaia, Shakti, Asherah

A woman’s body is her home, temple, and holy vessel in this lifetime. For many generations we have learned to disconnect from our bodies, to shame our sensuality as separate from spirit, and to distrust the magical natural cycles of our blood. We begin our archetypal voyage together in the wisdom of this body, through re-membering our flesh and bones and blood as Earth herself, awakening the pure life force essence of creation within us, and resanctifying our sensuality and sexual anatomy as Goddess.

Foundations
The Body

As we begin our journey, we ground ourselves into the anchor that will hold us throughout this entire nine month rebirth (and throughout our Earthly lives): The Body. Here we attune ourselves to Her voice within us, learning to listen to the feminine intelligence that is always speaking through sensations, grounding into the safety and sanctuary of choosing to be here.

Gaia
Rooting Into Matter

In ancient Greece Gaia was our Mother Earth who emerged out of the black sea of chaos. She birthed Uranus the God of Sky and together they created all life. With Gaia as our guide we return to our bodies as our own Mother Earth, allowing Her to guide us through what our unique organism most needs, as elemental beings of both soil and stars.

Shakti
Summoning the Source

In ancient Hindu tradition, Shakti is the feminine principle who creates and governs the universe. Shakti is the pure impulse of creation, the breath of life, the power that animates all things. With Shakti as our guide we learn to be moved by our own life force through our nervous system and our sexuality as conduits for profound healing and awakening.

Asherah
Awakening Sensuality

The Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden is a symbol for the Canaanite Goddess Asherah, one of the most predominant ancient fertility Goddesses predating Judaism worshipped by the indigenous people of Palestine. Asherah was a fertility goddess of both sex magic and nurturing love. With Asherah we return to the places in our bodies that carry the most collective shame, violation, and demonization, and we re-sanctify that which has always been holy.

The Daughter

Innocence, Initiation, Individuation
Artemis, Sedna, Persephone

Through the Earth of The Body, we begin our first initiation of womanhood as daughters of lineages that carry magic, mythos, mystery, and also pain, trauma, and wounds. At this gateway we summon and awaken the inner maiden, guiding us into our original innocence and also into our core wounds which are paradoxically our openings to our greatest power in this lifetime. Healing the injuries and malnourishment of our younger years, we retrace the steps through our initiations of womanhood into menstruation, sexuality, heartbreak, and the loss of naïveté, re-belonging ourselves to the Source of Life as Mother.

Foundations
The Daughter

So often we may find ourselves in the role of The Lover, The Mother, or even The Queen, without the necessary foundational resources that we most needed as The Daughter. With The Daughter, we trace our way back to our youth, acknowledging all that we survived in our younger years, and hold the light and dark in equanimity as we recognize our soul path and the very human pain of neglected parts that may be crying out for love.

Artemis
Virginal Sovereignty

Artemis, the Greek Virgin Goddess of the moon, the iconic wild woman, is the true definition of virgin, a woman whole unto herself. But Artemis herself is captured by Hercules and in the process she experiences a fall from grace. With Artemis we lift the veils of “false belonging” through entrapments of our conditioning, as we unhook ourselves from co-depency and rediscover our own authentic “wild belonging.”

Sedna
Skeleton Woman

A guardian of the depths of the oceanic underworld, Sedna's wounds inflicted by her own father birth the whales and creatures that become sustenance and food that ensure the lives of others. As we dive into the deep waters of Sedna, we meet our own Skeleton Woman, the desperate needy shadow feminine who emerged as an innocent response to neglect, trauma, or abuse. Through receiving the full range of our emotions, and welcoming our shadows back into our own embrace, we love Skeleton Woman, the hurt little girl, back to life again.

Persephone
Maiden’s Initiations

The timeless reflection of a woman’s maturation through natural cycles is profoundly woven into the iconic story of Persephone’s journey to the underworld, and her harsh initiation from Maiden into Queen. With Persephone as our guide we revisit our own timeline of initiations and re-sanctify the holiness of our coming of age into womanhood. We give ourselves the rites of passage we may have always needed, yet never received, as we reweave a celebratory red thread of belonging through our feminine lineage.

The Sister

Projection, Totality, Celebration
Lilith & Eve, Inanna & Ereshkigal, Sappho

With The Daughter’s magic, authenticity, and innocence retrieved, we now meet ourselves deeper, through our relationships with other women. For many generations women have been turned against one another to create division and disempowerment, just as we have been conditioned to fragment parts of the feminine within. Together we journey with the polarities of woman, recognizing what we reject and project in the reflection of sister, to access a fuller range of ourselves, and in turn appreciate a wider spectrum of womanhood.

Foundations
The Sister

What lives at the roots of our judgements, jealousy, and codependency in relationships with other women? As we approach The Sister together, we do so through the understanding of our collective trauma surrounding the feminine that causes us to project and deflect our own nature in other women. We look to the witch trials, patriarchal white supremacy, and the many ways women have been cast against once another to survive. We arrive with curiosity surrounding the sister wound as a doorway into the wound with Goddess Herself.

Lilith & Eve
Virgin & Whore

Many of us have learned the lie that there is the “good girl” and the “bad girl”, the “virgin” and the “whore", and that we must choose which category we fit into within our society. This division, which causes us to fragment ourselves and judge our sisters, originates with the first women in the Old Testament: Lilith & Eve. With Lilith and Eve as our guides, we journey with the dual nature of woman through the archetypes of the virgin and the whore, uniting these necessary aspects of life within us all.

Inanna & Ereshkigal
Shadow & Light

Every woman has a light side and a dark side. Yet, we may have learned to reject one and exalt the other, within ourselves and within other women. In truth, we all need full access to the “negative” and to the “positive” in order to be whole. The reunion of the light and dark feminine has been iconically illustrated through the story of Inanna’s Descent to the Underworld to see her twin Ereshkigal. With Inanna and Ereshkigal as our guides, we explore the dark side and the light side of ourselves to bring our own fragments and all of our sister relationships into the mirror of reunion and reconciliation.

Sappho
Goddesses in Every Woman

What changes when the sisterhood is no longer a place of comparison, and instead becomes a sanctuary to worship the feminine, to worship Goddess through the celebration of one another? There is perhaps no greater role model and muse for what it means to love a woman and to worship her in all of her expressions and her forms as Goddess, than the Greek poetess Sappho, as famous as Homer before her many works were burned and destroyed. We reawaken Sappho together as a beautiful and joyful remembrance of our right to celebrate the feminine within ourselves and within one another as the living Goddess Herself.

The Lover

Yearning, Communion, Divine Union
Radha, Aphrodite, Mary Magdalene

Across the thresholds of our Maidenhood we dive now into the deep waters of our womb desires and heart longings to merge with another through our sexuality. As we awaken this deep yearning for divine union with “The One”, we also meet our wounds of past relationships and betrayals. With The Lover as our guide, we reunite the soul mates of the sacred masculine and sacred feminine within. We create a new blueprint for soulful relationship through cherishing, respecting, and revering our sensuality and emotionality, merging our heart and womb nectar as we retrieve the Holy Grail of our Love.

Foundations
The Lover

The awakening of sexuality can often feel like a return to the roots of our wounding. Indeed, it is through our sexuality that we reunite with the genetic codes of Mother and Father, as they created our body through their DNA and their merging of sex with one another. In our foundations we awaken The Lover within as an alchemical power to heal more deeply not only through The Daughter and our childhood, but also through our lineage within the union of our motherline and fatherline, the masculine and feminine within.

Radha
The Path of Yearning

Created as a deity within the Bhakti movement in 8th century India, Radha is an icon for cultivating a direct personal intimate relationship with the divine. Paradoxically, this profound devotion and union that Radha invites us into, begins with the feeling of unrequited and unfulfilled love. With Radha as our guide we open into the vastness that resides beneath the surface tendencies of hunger or desperation for love, and open all the way into the ache of the separation from God. Radha is the doorway to realizing yearning as a devotional path to the true One, a love that never leaves, our Source.

Aphrodite
The Path of Union

As perhaps the most famous and celebrated lover of all time, Aphrodite represents the beauty, the radiance, the sensuality, the allure, the magnetism, and above all else the unshakeable self worth that a woman can embody in relationship once she has married all parts of herself as sacred and holy within herself. With Aphrodite as our guide, we experience true sacred union as the homecoming of all parts of ourselves into an erotic inner awakening, and we step into her maturity as we rise in love.

Mary Magdalene
The Path of Love

The mysterious beloved of Jesus, Mary Magdalene is an echo, a memory and a reclamation of what becomes possible when a woman devotes herself to opening her body as love with her chosen one. With Radha we yearn for The One, with Aphrodite we are The One, with Mary Magdalene we honor our lover as The One. As the Magdalene, we arrive to our body temple with the patience, devotion, and love that awakens the highest potential of our sexuality. As we awaken the beloved within, restoring the inherent sanctity in our emotionality and sexuality, we marry our power with our love and we birth a new masculine consciousness into the world.

The Mother

Devotion, Boundaries, Love
Mother Mary, Durga Ma, Pachamama

Sexuality eventually ripens us into motherhood, either through the birth of a child, or through the maturity of becoming mothers to ourselves and our creations. As many of us have lived, motherhood can be a harsh awakening in a world that doesn’t honor The Mother in her true dynamism. Fully blooming into motherhood we redefine The Mother on our own terms. We allow ourselves to be mothered by the wild herself as we learn to mother through our own wild instincts. We forgive ourselves the harmful expectations of mothers being needless, perfect, and inhuman, and we embrace the full spectrum of mother as dynamic and multidimensional.

Foundations
The Mother

One of the greatest traps inherited by women, is the belief that there is only one way to be a “good” mother. In truth, The Mother is wildly multidimensional, and needs access to her wholeness in order to best support her young ,and to nourish herself to give from abundance. What have we lost in a world that praises the self sacrificing mother and denies her of her humanity? Together we awaken the trinity of The Mother, through her multi dimensionality, and allow ourselves a sustainable way of mothering for life, which includes: being mothered by the wild, mothering ourselves as the wild, and mothering our creations from our wild knowing.

Mother Mary
The Tender Mother

Who is the true virgin mother and how has her saintly expression shaped our perceptions around motherhood? With Mother Mary, now believed to be a womb priestess who conceived Jesus through shamanic temple rituals, we create our own definition of motherhood which includes the acknowledgement of our humanity within our divinity. We create wombs of safety that we can rest within as mothers of our own innocence, holding ourselves in unconditional love as we release burdens from our lineage and heal the mother and father wounds back in time.

Durga Ma
The Fierce Mother

In the Hindu pantheon, Durga was The Fierce Mother called upon when the world had been overtaken by demons. Out of Durga’s third eye came Kali Ma, The Mother of greatest ferocity and also deepest compassionate love. With Durga Ma as our guide we reclaim our rage as a vital and healthy aspect of our mothering, as the lioness who is not afraid to roar. Durga commands us to be unwavering in our devotion to that which really matters, and to be willing to destroy that which threatens the health and well being of our precious creations and lives.

Pachamama
The Creatrix Mother

How does a woman truly sustain her creative process of mothering? For the pre-Inca people of the Andes mountains the truest model of sustainability was The Mother Herself, Earth, called Pachamama. With Pachamama as our final guide in The Mother, we meet the birthing, sustaining, dying, and rebirthing cycles of nature and of The Mother, to create in harmony with life in all of her phases and forms.

The Queen

Purpose, Prosperity, Power
Lakshmi, Rhiannon, Inanna

Grounded in our Wild Mothering instincts, we deepen into our Source as a creative well for our service in the greater world. As we arrive to The Queen, we refine our ability to trust our life force, creative impulses, and deepest heart womb desires to guide our purpose and service from a place of both power and humility. We heal our fears of persecution for being a woman in power, fears of our own gifts and abilities, and we surrender to the pleasure, prosperity, and treasure of our inheritance, residing upon the throne of our own unique life path.

Foundations
The Queen

What is a true Queendom? There are many expressions and examples of “Queens” we may have seen through the ages, and may see in our world now. But rare is it to recognize the true benevolent Queen who is ultimately Queen of her own destiny and of her own purpose that has been given to her by Goddess. Together we create a new experience of Queen, as one who is not at the top of the hierarchy, but who dances in a circle with all of creation, in reverence of true sovereignty, where we are all free.

Lakshmi
Receive Your Inheritance

Lakshmi, the Hindu Goddess of abundance from whose grace all rivers flow, all flowers bloom, all fruits ripen, and the whole world re-members love, is the one who holds the golden keys to our own buried forgotten treasure. We may have learned to restrict this river of abundance, love, nectar, and pure life that wants to unconditionally bless our lives in flow. With Lakshmi we challenge ourselves to break down the dams, to trust our hearts, to trust love within us, to trust the wild impulse from within our bodies and within our wombs, and to allow this love to guide what we do. Love is the only true path to our gold.

Rhiannon
Trust Your Magic

What causes a woman to stop trusting in herself, to stop trusting in her visions, her dreams, and her own inner oracle? What causes a woman to hide her magic? These questions live at the heart of our journey with the Fairy Queen Rhiannon, whose golden radiance could wombifest all of her dreams, who was wrongfully accused of the most horrific crime imposed upon a Queen, and whose innocence was eventually redeemed. With Rhiannon we heal the witch wound, our own self doubts, and the fear of being persecuted for standing in our light.

Inanna
Rise From the Depths

A Queen is not only here to radiate her light, she is here to resurrect herself from the depths, and to serve the truth she discovered there. In The Sister we met the light and dark of the feminine through Inanna and Ereshkigal, Queens of Heaven and Hell. With Inanna as The Queen, we discover and more fully claim the Queendom of our inheritance through our descents. It is indeed our own dark nights of the soul that empower us to serve in the world from our most authentic, embodied light.

The Priestess

Reverence, Retrieval, Rebirth
Magdalene, Isis, Quan Yin

As we learn to navigate our power through The Queen, eventually we are guided to open beyond and to serve not only the world, but beyond and through the worlds. Through the seven sacred centers of The Priestess, we return to a woman’s spiritual knowing, that we are multi-dimensional vessels uniting Heaven and Earth through our spiritual embodiment. With The Priestess, we reclaim a woman’s spiritual authority, that which has never been lost, through reweaving the wisdom of moon to womb to tomb, innerstanding the creation codes of rebirth that heal all things through the quantum field of love.

Foundations
The Priestess

What is it to truly be a woman who walks between the worlds? The Priestess invites us to realize the spirit within matter, and to walk our sacred path in and within and through the everyday realities of our lives. This is embodied feminine spirituality, where we recognize the divine within it all. In our Foundations we resurrect the ancient priestess remembrance of a woman as God, and reawaken the multi-dimensionality of reality through The Underworld, The Middleworld, The Upperworld, Fire, Water, Earth, and Air.

Mary Magdalene
Sacred Human

Mary Magdalene was not only the beloved to Jesus, she was a spiritual teacher in her own right, and a powerful priestess of the ancient mystery schools. As we return to Mary Magdalene after The Lover, and meet her again as The Priestess, we reawaken a profound knowing that is hidden inside of The Lover: a woman’s body is the temple of God. Magdelene’s teachings expressed the power of the Sacred Human, she who is both human and divine. With Magdelene, we meet ourselves as portals that unite the worlds, and receive the many different expressions of The Priestess as our dance of wholeness with the natural world.

Mari Isis
Rebirth

The Priestess is indeed also a sorceress, one who has cultivated her ability to merge the spiritual and earthly realms to create magic. In ancient Egypt Isis was worshipped along the river Nile as the Medicine Woman who taught humanity how to thrive through fishing and farming. However her deepest magic is indeed her priestess power to bring the dead back to life. With Isis, we meet our own fragments, our own bones, the parts of ourselves that have been scattered out into the wastelands of exile, and with our sexual energy, our breath, our medicine, our magic, and our love, we bring ourselves back to life.

Quan Yin
Forgiveness

At times The Priestess’ power is cosmic, magical, and elemental. However beneath all of this power is the vastness of an ocean of compassion that she has remembered through the trials of her own initiations, through her own deaths and rebirths. For it is this very compassion, the water of life, that can truly bring the dead back to life, and turn Hell into Heaven. In Buddhism this compassion is the heart of Quan Yin, “She Who Hears the Cries of Humanity.” Embracing the compassion that Quan Yin awakens within us, we become Priestesses of Love through delivering the nectar of forgiveness to all parts of ourselves, one another, and our world.

The Wise Woman

Intuition, Mystery, Endings
Baba Yaga, Hecate, Dhumavati

Wisdom now grounds within us as we have crossed the many thresholds and received the many initiations that come through The Body, The Daughter, The Sister, The Lover, The Mother, The Queen, and The Priestess. We are now ready to approach our final Initiatrix, the keeper of the mystery herself, The Wise Woman. Here we enter the embrace of the Dark Goddess and the song of death as we learn to trust deeper into the mystery and the unknown. With The Wise Woman we receive our intuition as clairvoyants, oracles, mystics, witches, and hags. Unhooking from patriarchal prisons we embrace aging and the end of youth in reverence for all that we have gained as The One Who Knows.

Foundations
The Wise Woman

Why do we live in a society where The Wise Woman has been largely forgotten? What have we lost through the rejection, demonization, or at the very least under appreciation of her? Why do we fear aging and death above all else? With The Wise Woman as our guide, we remember the vital role of the elder, she who has lived to tell many tales, within our own selves and within our world. Together we dismantle the distortions that cause us to fear her as The Witch, and we invite her to reveal her power, magic, beauty, and wisdom for our trust in our path.

Baba Yaga
Wild Initiations

Baba Yaga is the old Slavic hag who lives in the forest and is believed to eat young maidens who knock upon her door. She is the one who gives the maiden the impossible tasks that deepen her intuition, and eventually bestow her with the sacred flame of her own inner truth. While she may appear to be the “villain” she is in fact the initiatrix, guiding us into our power through testing and challenging us so that we too become wise. With Baba Yaga we reclaim The Wild Woman within through choosing to enter our own dark forest and receive the initiations that make us truly wise.

Hecate
Crossing the Threshold

As the ancient crone goddess of Greek mythos, Hecate guards the thresholds where we meet deeper layers of our power as we ripen and mature. Hecate was the one who accompanied Persephone, the maiden, down to the underworld each autumn, to midwife her through rebirth. With Hecate we meet with our fears of change, uncertainty, the unknown, and learn to be resilient in the face of our own thresholds of life and death. We learn to trust our eyesight in the darkness and our clairvoyance as oracles to guide our way. We reclaim our full intuition as the light of truth within.

Dhumavati
Disappointment as Liberation

What if disappointment was not a sign that we had been punished, rejected, or abandoned by the divine, but was the Dark Goddess appearing on our path to invite us into a vaster knowing of liberation? In Hindu mythology Dhumavati is the Goddess of disappointment and misfortune, the opposite of Lakshmi in The Queen. She is the only Goddess with no consort, no lover, only herself, her rags, and her black crow. Dhumavati is the spinster. With Dhumavati we awaken through our fears of our nectars running dry, of losing our external luster, of no longer being fertile and sweet. We allow the medicine of disappointment to be our doorway to freedom, as we meet the truth within that will never be validated by anything without. There we discover a whole new dimension of feminine power.

The Soul

Quintessence, Immortality, Truth
Arianrhod, Brigid, Sophia

At the end of our spiral we arrive back to the beginning, to the great cosmic star of the self, The Soul, who is the seed imprinted within every cell of The Body. Just as we bloom this seed of the self through the entire life cycle of woman, we also plant it once again into our next incarnation. As we prepare to reincarnate out into the world on the other side of our Whole Woman Mystery School voyage, we devote ourselves to the sacred inner flame, anchor the soul voice more deeply within, and re-unify the split of woman as we re-inhabit all that we are as our divinity in form. We re-member who we are and why we came here as we re-enter the world.

Foundations
The Soul

For our ancestors who lived by the rise and the set of the sun, the movements of the stars and the shapes of the moon, by the seasons of the Earth and the cycles of the crops, everything was believed to have a soul. While The Body is mortal, changes, matures, and eventually dies, The Soul itself is immortal, unchanging, and essential. In our Foundations we open the doorway to the realm of spirit beyond matter, to gain greater understanding and clarity for who we truly are and why we truly came here, so that we can live this life in The Body all the way.

Arianrhod
Born Again

Something miraculous occurs on the other side of death. As we see with the life cycles of all living things, death gives way to new life. As we see through the beginning and ending of the day, and the cycles of the moon, all of nature knows inherently how to Rebirth. In Welsh mythology, the Goddess Arianrhod is the silver moonlight who births out of the darkest night sky. She is the physical wombifestation of immortality through her return to the light through the darkness. With Arianrhod we trace the cycles of our own soul path, allowing ourselves to be born again in a new cycle, as we continue to heal on this spiral path of life.

Brigid
Sacred Flame

As the essence of our being, the spark of divinity within, The Soul is the sacred flame inside of us, and we are her benevolent guardian. It is only when we dishonor our own soul that our inner light begins to diminish. In Pre-Christian Ireland the Goddess Brigid was the keeper of this sacred flame. She was (and is) the Goddess of inspiration, believed to have appeared in the sky just before the rising sun with flames blazing from the crown of her head. Brigid is the light of fire that brings warmth to the Earth within the darkness and cold of winter. With Brigid we return to our inner hearth and reclaim ourselves as the keepers of this sacred flame.

Sophia
Redemption

You may recall that our journey begins with this mythos of the Goddess who descends from the world of Heavenly light into the dark abyss of chaos. There, she births herself out of the black matter as Gaia, The Body of our Mother Earth. Just as we began our journey in The Body with Gaia, we complete our journey together in The Soul with Sophia, the feminine principle of all of creation. In ancient Greece to walk the path of philosophy (philosophia), was to walk the path of Sophia, the path of inquiry, the path of self realization, where we are on a quest to “know thyself.” With Sophia we remember that each of us are oracles of our bodies and our souls, Priestesses of our own lives, and unique expressions of the one whole living body of Gaia, Mother Earth.

About Your Guide

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When does the journey begin?

A: We are currently in session with our 2023 circle. As soon as you join the waitlist you will receive a confirmation email and priority registration when we reopen in 2024. Our journey will begin in Spring 2024 and lasts for 9 months.

Q: When do the live online ceremonies take place?

A: Our online group ceremonies will take place every two weeks. Dates and times will be announced when registration reopens in 2024. We prioritize North America time zones as that is where the majority of our participants reside, however we do our best to accommodate as many time zones as we can based upon the locations of the women who register. We record all of our ceremonies so you can journey with us in your own time if you cannot participate live.

Q: What if I can’t attend the live ceremonies?

A: If you are unable to join us live for our group ceremonies, we record them and post in our private community group where you can watch the recording and share your personal insights. If you are unable to join live, we request that you still participate in our community group to foster the connection and intimacy of our circle.

Q: How much time should I expect to invest?

A: We recommend devoting about 30 minutes per day or 2 hours per week for our recorded practices, and 2.5-3 hours every two weeks for our live group ceremonies. You have access to all content indefinitely so you can always circle back if you wish once the temple ends. (Many women take the course multiple times since it is so rich and in depth and you have access to the course materials forever.)

Q: How long do I have access?

A: You have access to our course materials forever. During our group container, you will receive each monthly spiral through our online portal and you can also download materials. You will be able to retain these resources for your personal use to continue journeying after the nine month journey ends if you choose. (Many women in the past have come back to our course materials again and again and consider this work to be a blueprint for life.)

Q: How is content delivered and what’s included?

A: Content will be available through our Online Temple Portal where you can download to your personal device if you choose. Our resources include video lessons, audio transmissions, playlists, audio meditations, monthly guidebooks filled with wisdom and practices, and access to our live and recorded video circles. You can scroll up the page to see a detailed list of everything that you will receive within the apprenticeship.

Q: Do I need to have prior experience in this type of work?

A: We require that you have a foundation of inner work through counseling, psychotherapy, yoga, meditation, embodiment arts, or other alternative therapies. We go deep, and require that you have skills and experience to support and resource yourself through what may arise. Regardless of where you are on your path, you may find it supportive to work with a therapist or healer as you journey through this material in addition to our group circle. We provide referrals for one to one healers for this reason and our private group community is always open for you to process and share.

Q: Is this apprenticeship appropriate for healing trauma?

A: This course is not a replacement for counseling or therapy, though it can be a powerful compliment to the healing work you already do and have done, supporting you to go deeper with yourself. While our journey does provide powerful doorways for healing many layers of trauma, we require that you are currently in a stable and well resourced space in order to journey with us. If you are not currently in a stable or well resourced space, we are happy to provide you with other referrals to receive the support you most need in the safest way.

Q: I have a lot of experience already in this kind of work, will I still receive benefits?

A: Many women who have journeyed with us in the past have included healers, psychotherapists, and facilitators of women’s healing work. Our apprenticeship offers a space for you to descend into the truth of your own being, where you are ultimately the teacher and the guide. As you know, the path of feminine healing and awakening is an ongoing lifelong journey and there are always new treasures to discover. Tune in and sense into whether you feel there is medicine for you here.

Q: Do you offer scholarships?

A: As we are such a small business providing a lot of energy for each woman in this apprenticeship, we do not have scholarships available at this time. However we welcome you to receive our many free gifts available on our website, or to register for one of our lower investment courses. We also know that there are many larger organizations who do have the resources to offer scholarships and sliding scale pricing, and we encourage you to seek out those options.
