Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When does the journey begin?
A: Our Opening Ceremony takes place on March 24th, and our Preparations Module opens on March 10th. I recommend registering before then to give yourself abundant time to prepare, create space in your calendar, reflect upon your intentions, and arrive to this nine month voyage feeling grounded and ready.
Q: When do the live online ceremonies take place?
A: Our online group ceremonies will take place every two weeks on Sundays at 9am PST, 12pm EST, 5pm GMT, for 2.5-3 hours. Full schedule is listed below. In case you cannot join us live we will send a recording of the temple. Please note that group participation is required. If you cannot join our ceremonies live due to time zone or another schedule conflict, you can make up your absence by sharing in our online Mighty Networks circle.
Q: What if I can’t attend the live ceremonies?
A: If you are unable to join us live for our ceremonies, we record them and post in our private women’s circle group where you can watch the recording and share your personal insights. Please only register if you agree to still participate in our online Mighty Networks circle even if you cannot attend the ceremonies live.
Q: How much time should I expect to invest?
A: I recommend devoting 3-4 hours per week for our recorded practices, and 2.5-3 hours every two weeks for our live ceremonies. You have access to all content for one year after the apprenticeship ends, so you can always circle back if you wish once the journey ends. It is my recommendation that you journey with the Herstory Audios each week and then choose which audios and written rituals you are being called towards, while staying in rhythm with us in our live group ceremonies. Women from all walks of life have joined us in the past, and it is not required nor expected that you do all of the course materials, rather that you receive what is calling to you, and stay active and engaged with the group throughout the journey.
Q: How long do I have access?
A: You have access to our Online Temple Portal for one year after the apprenticeship completes, until December 15th of 2025. If you desire to keep the course beyond this time, you can download all course materials to your personal device. Please note that live group ceremonies will be available in our private group, but they cannot be downloaded to respect the privacy and confidentiality of everyone who shares. For this reason, you will need to watch any ceremony recordings within one year of the completion date of the apprenticeship.
Q: How is content delivered and what’s included?
A: Content will be available through our password protected Online Temple Portal where you can download to your personal device if you choose. Our resources include audio herstories, audio meditations, audio vision quests, playlists, and in depth monthly guidebooks filled with rituals and practices, as well as access to our live and recorded video ceremonies which will be uploaded in our private Mighty Networks group. You can scroll up the page to see a detailed list of everything that you will receive within the apprenticeship.
Q: What if I fall behind in the course or cannot complete all of the course materials?
A: Whole Woman Mystery School is designed to walk with you through your life, as you already are now, and to provide resources for whatever is alive within you. Some of our past participants have included single mothers working full time, women writing novels while working full time, and women running their own businesses. Our content is abundant and rich, to give you lots to dive into, however it is never expected nor required that you will do every single practice and "on time." I always encourage our participants to trust into which practices feel most supportive and aligned, and to resource yourself with what is most realistic and healing for you uniquely.
Q: If I fall behind in the course, can I still attend the live ceremonies?
A: Yes. It's more important to me that everyone come to live ceremonies than complete all of the coursework. Rather than try to do every practice, do your best to stay in flow with the group, trust what you have space for and know you can revisit the rest in your own timing. You also can still come to ceremonies even if you are behind as I guide a full experience that will weave you into the energy of each archetype even if you haven’t had space to do the course materials yet. That said, your contribution will of course be juicier and you will be able to go deeper if you take some time to at least skim through the manual and listen to the Herstory Audio before we gather together in ceremony every two weeks.
Q: Is this apprenticeship only for women or is it inclusive of other genders?
A: While we honor all genders and the sovereignty and choices of all beings, due to the sensitive nature of this course, and the specific course content that we explore together, this apprenticeship is only for natal females, those born with female sexual anatomy. This is to foster safety for women to speak about the specifically female experiences of menarche, menstruation, sex, birth, abortion, pregnancy loss, hysterectomies, peri menopause, menopause, and post menopause, particularly because many women have experienced trauma and violations within these spaces and require gender specific spaces for healing and sanctuary.
Q: Is this apprenticeship only for women of a certain age or those who are still menstruating?
A: Due to the potentially triggering and emotionally intense nature of our course content, you must be at least 18 years old to join us. All women are expected to come with a solid sense of emotional maturity and emotional intelligence. We welcome women in young adulthood, middle adulthood, and later adulthood. Women who menstruate, women who no longer menstruate, women birthing and raising children, women who have chosen not to have children, women who have crossed into their wise woman years and watched their children become adults. If you no longer have a physical womb due to hysterectomy you can still work with the spiritual energy in this part of your body, and women who have joined us who no longer have physical wombs in their body have expressed our womb journeys to be profoundly healing.
Q: What kind of women join this apprenticeship?
A: We have women join from many different life paths, careers, cultural backgrounds, and locations in the world. Artists, professors, mothers, executives, coaches, yoga teachers, writers, energy healers, actresses, therapists, healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, women from all kinds of paths coming together in reverence of the feminine. We are diverse in our dharmas but we all share these qualities… empathy, compassion, authenticity, depth, emotional intelligence, self awareness, and a burning desire to live the truth of our soul and our body.
Q: Do I need to have prior experience in this type of work?
A: I require that you are already on a journey of healing and self awareness through counseling, yoga, tantra, meditation, feminine arts, shamanism, or other alternative therapies. We go deep, and require that you have skills and experience to support and resource yourself through what may arise as this material can be triggering. Regardless of where you are on your path, you may find it supportive to work with a therapist or personal healer as you journey through this material in addition to our group circle.
Q: Is this temple 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, it is required that you are currently in a stable and well resourced space in order to journey with us. This work can be triggering, and many of us have layers of past wounding we may not be aware of or may be called to revisit. For this reason it’s recommended to have the support of a one to one therapist or healer available throughout the journey to offer personalized support in case challenging experiences do arise.
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: While I honor every woman’s right to receive the support and care she needs and desires, as I am such a small business providing a lot of energy for each woman in this apprenticeship, I do not have scholarships available at this time. If you are unable to make the financial investment, I welcome you to receive my many free gifts available on our website, or to register for one of our lower investment courses.
