A Reclaiming Priestess Apprenticeship in Experiential Leadership
with Suzanne Sterling and Ravyn Stanfield
The modern world is fast paced, ever changing and technologically advanced. However, a new kind of creative, relational and intuitive leadership is in demand and a widespread hunger for experiences of the sacred in daily life becomes more and more clear. Few opportunities exist for individuals to receive personalized spiritual mentorship and an opportunity to develop their innate magical gifts.
Each of us has super powers - abilities that come naturally to us, but in leadership roles, we are often relied upon to have skills above and beyond our own specialties. What is your passion, your service, your offering? Where are your strengths? What are the edges you are pushing, the gifts you want to pursue? How can you hold authority confidently?
Are you longing to change the world, the culture, or simply your workplace? Have you wondered how the tools and experiences from Reclaiming could translate into everyday? Are you being asked to step into more responsibility or visibility in some area of your life?
Responding to a call from the community, Ravyn and Suzanne are offering a year long priestessing/leadership apprenticeship. We will explore tangible skills in multiple ritual modalities that will provide a foundation for your own priestessing, provide opportunities to prepare to student-teach in the Reclaiming Tradition or similar traditions and establish practices to deepen your connection to the Goddess and yourself. This apprenticeship is open to adults of all genders, orientations, and cultural backgrounds
Skills cultivated will include:
* Developing a grounding and centering personal practice* Discovering your unique abilities, super powers, self awareness* Effective communication skills* Chanting, singing, drumming, yoga & meditation* Nourishing the body/mind/spirit* Growing confidence and charisma* Transforming stagnant patterns* Learning tools for conflict resolution, mediation in groups* Working with the elements, directions, and ancestors* Raising and containing energy* Working with deity, myth, and storytelling* Creating ritual* Aspecting, trance, divination, and other ritual technologies* Shadow stalking, projection, and boundaries* Power from within and shared power* Peer support and consensus process* Learning to find inspiration, trust yourself, ask for help
From leading ritual to staying grounded in conflict, from ecstatic breathwork to giving constructive feedback, we will build the foundation to expand fully as a leader. We will work together as collaborators and allies to support each other's leadership paths.
This is a 13 month long training and designed for participants who make the commitment to the entire year. We will meet for a weekend workshop every month (with some breaks as noted on the schedule) to do intensive work in person. Between classes, you will be given the opportunity to deepen the work, and keep the energy palatable through an on line group and partner check ins. We ask that participants attend all sessions.
Schedule:3/26-27/11, 4/23-24/11, 5/21-22/11, 6/11 and 7/11 off, 8/13-14/11, 9/24-25/11, 10/22-23/11, 11/19-20/11, 12/11 off, 1/28-29/12, 2/25-26/12, 3/24-25/12 Classes will be 10am to 4p on Sat and Sunday of every weekend.
