walking the spiral path

of the Goddess:

The Realm of the Fae
june 9, 2024

The Spiral Path of The Goddess is
A Seasonal Mystery School
with Ancient Rituals, Ceremonies, and Practices
for the Modern Priestess.

Have you ever walked barefoot on a mossy path, feeling the cool, spongy earth beneath your feet, noticing the vibrant green hues as the sunlight beams through the trees creating a collage of shadows on the forest floor?

Have you stepped outside on the first day of Spring and listened to the birds, felt the warm sun on your face and noticed each tiny bud slowly opening as it welcomes the season of light once more?

If you ARE LIKE ME, YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED ALL OF THESE THINGS AND MORE.

BECAUSE OF THIS, I INVITE YOU TO WALK THE SPIRAL PATH OF THE GODDESS WITH ME.

As we move from Beltane towards the Summer Solstice, the Spiral Path leads us to the land of the Faery Folk where we meet their Queen.

Aine or the Bright one, is a Solar Deity and Moon Goddess.

She is the bringer of delight.

Listen as she asks,

“What brings you pleasure?”

our journey begins at 1pm on June 9 with an invitation to the Queen of the fae to join us!

1:00pm:

~Opening Circle, check in and explanation of the Spiral Path.

~Shamanic Journey to the land of Fae to connect with Queen Aine.

1:45: Charcuterie Board and Bathroom break

2:00: Make Flower Lanterns

3:00: Tuning into Pleasure through the Senses

3:45: Music and Mantra with Joanna Barbera of Music City Mindfulness.

5:00: Closing Meditation and speak around

The Spiral Path of the Goddess is one that recognizes our deepest connection to Mother Earth and sees the magick in Nature beyond the mundane world. By connecting with her through seasonal ceremonies, rituals, and creative processes, we grow and expand on the path.

Together we will craft magickal lanterns to act as a beacon of light for the magickal creatures that exist in the shadows of the mundane world.

These lanterns will light our way in times of darkness and remind us to call upon the ancient magick that is here to support us if we only ask.

with Jennifer

Mantra is an ancient sacred sound practice that can profoundly impact our lives. Through the vibrational power of mantras, we can clear energetic blockages and open ourselves to experience deeper states of awareness, inner peace, and authentic delight. Mantra helps quiet the mind, bringing our attention into the present moment where we can tune into the wisdom of our souls.

with Joanna

"IN 2016 I BEGAN BRINGING WOMEN'S SPIRITUALITY TO THE GREATER COMMUNITY WITH MY FIRST WISE WOMEN FULL MOON RETREAT.

Soon thereafter I expanded into New and Full Moon events and then introduced my own work with the Celtic Wheel of the Year to the community. This series is an extension of this work and each part will allow us to dig deeper and connect more with the Goddess and the Celtic Wheel of the Year."

"All that I have studied and practiced on my own and in the 100s of Circles I have created is coming into focus. My deeply rooted practice in the Celtic Wheel of the year along with my Goddess and Druid studies is coming together to form a sacred offering for those called to honor Nature and the Divine Feminine more deeply. I hope you will join me."

Combining her love of spirituality and music, she created Music City Mindfulness to offer a sacred container for conscious community and guidance.

Through mantra, she will guide us to clear and open our vessels so that we can tune into the full experience of true pleasure and authentic delight. Her music is inspired by self-reflection, navigating the shadow, and deep-diving for seeds of hope through words and melodies.

During this event we will silence the mental chatter as mantra creates the still pond in which we can reflect on our true nature - rediscovering our innate power, clarity and joy. The reverberations of these potent sound formulas also harmonize our subtle energy bodies, releasing trapped emotions and past traumas. Practiced with focused intention, mantra acts as a bridge connecting us to our most liberated, radiant selves. It is an alchemical tool for profound inner transformation.

Woven together with breathwork, meditation, and music, mantra becomes a portal into the vastness of our being, where we can remember our intrinsic wholeness. Through this practice, we reclaim our sovereignty and walk the path of embodied awakening.

Upcoming Special Guests Include:

Kim Collins of Own Your Ohm Health
