Goddess Spirituality 101

Most of us work with, or at least know of the Divine Feminine, but what is her story? In this workshop, we will talk about her history as we know it today: The earliest practices and beliefs, the almost complete eradication of the Goddess, and the re-emergence of Goddess Spirituality we are now witnessing all over the U.S. and around the world. We will end the workshop with a Goddess centered, Kundalini Meditation to activate and align our chakras and bring awareness to the Goddess in and around all of us.

The Light in the Dark: Working with the Dark Goddess

The names Lilith, Hecate, Morrigan, and Kali bring chills down our spine and goosebumps to our flesh. But what is Dark Goddess Energy? We work with it every day, whether we know it or not. Some of us choose to work with this energy, but is it 'evil'? The image of the Dark Goddess can scare many of us, but it is in welcoming that 'dark' energy into our lives that we complete the trinity and connect the circle. This workshop is designed to help dispel the myths surrounding the Dark Goddess, and learn to view and incorporate the energy in a positive and constructive way.
