Goddess Workshops and Offerings

  • Guided Meditation
    Discover a guide/ ally with whom you can look to for support and guidance in our time together and when you return home.
  • New and Full Moon work
    Learn how to work with the Moon for healing and manifestation.
  • Inner Triplicity
    In our time together, we will explore the Greek triple goddess, Hekate. Often depicted with three faces, we will uncover how all three of her manifestations live within us simultaneously and how you can access your inner triplicity for well-being and external manifestation.
  • Cathartic Creativity
    We will be doing various creative activities throughout the week to help you access your unconscious process and what comes up for you.
  • Soul’s Work
    Through guided imagery and meditation, we will explore archetypal imagery that can help you manifest your deep and even unconscious desires.
  • Pendulum Work
    Whether looking for answers about your own life or ways to best support people with whom you work, particularly for those of us in the lightworker fields, pendulums can be a fantastic way to get a quick answer to next steps. Learning how to use a pendulum without influencing its swing can help you make decisions for which you have confusion and or uncertainty.
  • What do you want?
    On Friday, we will be working with the archetype of Venus. The word Friday originates from the Nordic goddess Freya — Freya’s Day. As a result, Fridays are fantastic times to honor the goddess and ask her to provide us with things in association with what she represents – such as beauty, love, and passion.
