Awakening
the New Millennium Priestess Process
Weekend 1: The New Priestess and Women's Mysteries
Explore
the ancient-future role of the priestess as wisdom keeper and chalice for sacred
presence on Earth.
Discover
our unique priestess expression through music, movement, journaling and sharing. Learn through myths and stories of the
divine feminine.
Explore
the life force mystery teachings of sacred sexuality, birth, death and shamanic initiation. Go beyond your lineage by breaking through
the limitations of our mother's "egg" and our father's "seed." Break the silence of our inner maiden
by sharing stories of our first blood.
Lay
the foundation for "living ceremony."
Discover
the feminine spiritual journey as a path of beauty, sensuality and love.
Weekend
2: The Initiation
and Holding Council
Create
a safe, nurturing space for ritual "pampering" and foot washing as a means
of honoring the journey each of us has taken to the return of the priestess on earth.
Prepare ourselves for "initiation" through journaling, movement and sharing.
Create a twilight initiation ceremony, followed by a ritual meal. Learn the ancient
Native American process of "holding council."
Transform
the "shadow" between women into the light of compassionate truth.
Weekend
3: Telling Our
Stories
Honor
each other with special music and nurturing to create a womb of safety and comfort. Call back the lost essence of our priestess
selves and weave together our common threads by telling the stories of our own personal
spiritual journeys.
Weekend
4: Archetypes and the Sacred Marriage
Explore
the archetypes of your inner feminine and masculine, and our own relationship path
through the vehicle of shamanic astrology.
Chart
the influence of your venus cycle on your chakras, using the story of Inana. Create an experiential medicine wheel
to acknowledge all of our personal archetypes.
Refine
and Integrate the dance of inner feminine and masculine through music, dance and
a sacred marriage ceremony.
Weekend 5: Conscious Death and Sacred Rebirth
Use
shamanic breathwork (www.shamanicbreathwork.com) and mask-making and enact a mystery
drama to clear blockages to full life force energy and full chakra alignment. Travel
between the worlds to say good-bye to our old selves and old Earth. Call forth a vision of the New Millennium
Priestess and her highest destiny, and co-creatively rebirth into the New Celestial
Earth.
Weekend
6: Embodiment & Emergence of the Priestess Within
Integrate
our nine-month process with self-care, journaling and sharing, and plan our Emergence
Ceremony. On this last day, we prepare and host our Emergence & Ordination Ceremony,
and a feast for our guests. |
