What You’ll Remember: Course Overview

Practice 1: Cultivating Empty Presence

• Empty presence is the core practice for a soulful connection to your own inner “gnosis” of knowing. To begin, you will learn essential practices that support you in dropping out of your mind and into the mystery, cultivating a place of stillness in this “womb of silence.” This practice of receptivity and openness is fundamental to the Gnostic lineage of this wisdom school and is the foundation on which all other practices are built.
• Each one of us is like a tuning fork, resonating at a particular frequency. As we deepen in this practice, you will know how to cultivate coherency and resonance in yourself, so that you become like a “tool,” opening yourself to deep healing and greater-than-imagined possibilities to emerge. By becoming a tool of resonance we are also able to be of greater service to our families and our communities.

Practice 2: Working with Sacred Tools

Wisdom traditions throughout the world use certain tools in order to help anchor spiritual ritual. In this next practice, you will receive specific tools that will guide you to bring your sacred life into your everyday life. These tools have symbolic and metaphoric qualities that, when used in meditation, activate a portal into your inner knowing. In addition, you will:

• Learn to use your body as a tool to connect to the Divine
• Understand how to embody and activate the ancient symbols of the cauldron, the chalice, and the sword within your own being
• Another practice we will cultivate and hone together is learning to master time, a particularly potent skill needed in our hurried and stressed-out culture. You will become a “Magician of Time” and learn to move beyond the linear clock. You will practice how to slow time down, how to take yourself out of time and how to free yourself from being a slave to time. This is a radical and evolutionary practice!

Practice 3: Activating and Toning Your Intuitive Muscles

You are blessed with incredible gifts, and you have access to a wise and direct knowing that is so far beyond your ordinary thinking mind. For many of us, we haven’t known exactly how to develop, cultivate and nourish our intuition. It’s been trained out or us, or seen as being unreliable, too flaky or not to be trusted. The only way to develop your intuition is through this dedicated practice in which you will:

• Learn to fully embody your intuition as a force of healing and wisdom in your everyday life
• Experience the various ways that Spirit communicates with you (through sight, sound, felt sense and more)
• Converse directly with Source to access your inner wisdom and gain clarity on your Divine purpose

Practice 4: Co-creating with the Powerful Moon Cycles & Elements

Do you know where the moon is in her phase right now? Do you feel the ebb and flow of the ocean in your body? Do you know the best times to plant seeds for your hopes and desires, when to harvest, when to celebrate what has been grown and then when to lie fallow? We each have rhythms that are deeply encoded within us, within nature and within our larger sphere. And we are intimately connected to this cycle of life as it pulses through our very bodies. This practice will empower you to connect with the moon and the earth cycles, so you can tune into a deeper level of knowing. You will also:

• Learn how to set your intentions, cultivate them and bring them to manifestation in alignment with the phases of the moon
• Deepen your understanding of life cycles, yearly cycles, menstrual cycles and daily cycles, and harness their power for your own life
• Learn to work in harmony with earth, air, fire and water and use their “magic” to assist you in all your endeavors

Practice 5: Listening to your Body Wisdom

How well do you know your body? Are you able to read its signs and symptoms to understand what it needs? When you start to deeply listen to your body, you can access your deepest inner knowing to transform how you live your life. Your wisdom is housed in the temple of your body. And too often we ignore that “felt” wisdom by pushing ourselves too hard, not resting when we’re tired, or not doing things to rejuvenate. In this core sacred practice, you will learn to listen to your body wisdom as well as:

• Gain powerful practices to know how to dialogue with your body and decode what it’s saying to you, thereby increasing your energy and vibrancy
• Work with your menstrual cycle as a powerful access point for body wisdom and greater health
• Tune into the language of nourishment and food that your body really needs

Practice 6: Diving Deep with Dreamwork

Your dreams are one of the most profound ways you can create a connection to your innermost essence. Every night when you enter into REM sleep you also enter into an altered state of consciousness, one where you are privy to the most intimate workings of your inner life. In the dream world your own personal language of symbol, imagery and metaphor comes to life. And when you join inside the container of a sacred sisterhood, your dreams can not only have important significance to you, individually, but also for the collective. In this practice, you will learn to:

• Access, decode and apply the wisdom of your dreams to your daily life as well as deepen the connection between the multiple realms of your consciousness
• Gain the ability to understand and decode dreams that have collective importance and bearing

Practice 7: Savoring Sacred Sound

Sound is one of the most direct ways you can create a sense of harmony and coherency both in yourself and in others. Sound is used within every culture to invoke and celebrate the divine, to heal and soothe, to create sacred space and to cleanse and renew. It’s perhaps one of the most powerful tools you can learn to use on a daily basis. In this practice, you will:

• Learn to use sound and mantras to create sacred ceremonial space
• Discover how to use the sound of your own voice to heal yourself and others
• Master using sound to create coherency and harmony in your life

Practice 8: Living as a Modern-Day Mystic

There is an urgent and profound challenge we face at this point in our evolution: we are all being called to walk in our everyday lives with a wise mind and an awakened heart. Spiritual practice is not something you do once or twice a day; it takes moment-to-moment awareness to be a fully embodied, heart-awakened woman. In our closing practice, you will learn to live and breathe your soulful life, integrating the sacred tools and practices on a daily basis. Every time you make the choice towards inviting in a soulful moment, every time you acknowledge the sacred, you are co-creating new possibilities for yourself, your family and your community. You will be empowered to:

• Create sacred moments throughout your day and infuse the profane world with the beauty of spirit
• Become skilled at carving out daily time to invite co-creation with the Divine
