PRIESTESS TRAINING: A JOURNEY INTO POWER AND LEADERSHIP

Meets Saturday days/evenings January 18, March 8, May 10, July 12, September 13, November 8, and December 6, 2014

Facilitated by Cat Dancing, Morgana, Sharon, Suzanne, and Wildcat.  Z-Helene joins us as a guest instructor for priestess’ exploration of cone drumming and trance drumming. The teachers will rotate leadership throughout the year as they facilitate different facets of the priestess curriculum.

Tejas Web is pleased to offer a year of study and practice in Reclaiming Priestessing for all genders, colors, and ages. 

We evolve and deepen as priestesses in order to embrace power and leadership with grace and integrity.

Intermediate to Advanced work—some magical experience or background required.  Reclaiming ritual experience helpful.   Letter of intent required as an application to the training (see below).

Priestess Training delves into the many faceted role of Priestess in the non-hierarchical magical practices of the Reclaiming Tradition.  Classes happen on Saturdays, day and evening, every other month through 2014.  We focus on personal growth, practical tools, ritual creation, working in community, and stepping into power as a priestess in the world. 

A broad arc of magic encompasses decades of collective experience and includes exploration of and practice in magical foundations, deity, fae, ancestors, devotionals, shadow, energy, personal practice, collaborative skills, consensus process, mentorship, trust, accountability, initiation, presence, voice, body, glamour, feedback, drumming, activism, cone of power, divination, spellcrafting, storytelling, sacred drama, trance leading, craft tradition, tending, aspecting, and ritual.
