This class is offered online via Zoom Meeting.

For nearly 40,000 thousand years Paleolithic and Neolithic civilizations peacefully flourished under the guidance of the Great Earth Mother: living with the Earth in egalitarian communities focused on partnership, abundance, and prosperity. Goddess spirituality reclaims women’s power and history through working with Goddess archetypes, rituals, women’s circles, and honoring the essential role played throughout history.

​

Women instinctively create and participate in ritual in order to create meaning. Before modern times, in communities centered around women, each stage of women’s lives was celebrated through ritual, story and connection. The Maiden’s first blood was commemorated, the Mother’s womb was venerated and the Crone’s wisdom was cherished. Womanhood invites us into a constant state of transformation through initiation. This process is often explained as a “loss of innocence” or a “descent into the void” where women must face themselves and what this reality asks of them. In this class we will look to ancient initiation myths and rituals to guide and inform our own stories and experience of overcoming obstacles and claiming our sovereignty.
