What does it mean to follow the Wise Woman on the path of Mastery?

When a woman embodies the Wise Woman, she lives her life with strength, compassion, vision and power. She is master of the four elements of earth, water, air and fire and is therefore integrated in body, heart, mind and spirit. Her secret element is “ether” or “spirit” which magically weaves her entire personality into an integrated whole.

The Wise Woman is spiritually centered and fully awake. She embodies the qualities of wisdom, understanding and knowledge. Sometimes she is called the High Priestess because she is grounded in her own spiritual authority and can quickly and effortlessly align her true self with the will of Spirit.

The Wise Woman is master of her own destiny. She follows her calling and knows her life’s purpose. She has a powerful inner light like a beacon or compass, pointing to her true north each day of her life. The Wise Woman awakens our true feminine power and helps us embody our true feminine essence. She can help us unlock our creativity and full potential.

Disempowerment and seeking Initiation

Most women I work with feel disempowered in one way or another. One beautiful woman who I remember clearly in one of my Wise Woman workshops, found it hard to relate to the Wise Woman because she did not feel a master of her own life! She found it difficult to know and embody her true feminine essence. “How can I become master of my own life?” she would ask, “I don’t even know what my feminine power is?” She really wanted to experience initiation and activate her inner Wise Woman.

She couldn’t imagine feeling master of her life because she had so many responsibilities caring for children, partner, parents, pets, co-workers and her career. She didn’t have a lot of time and energy left over for herself! She reported starting off in her 20s with a lot of confidence and direction but as she moved through her 30s and 40s she lost herself in a sea of duties and “shoulds”. She neglected herself, stopped asserting her own needs, and fell into addictive patterns that reflected her unresolved childhood wounds.

Results of the Wise Woman Initiation

During the Wise Woman initiation process, she began to claim back some of her old power and confidence. She was also totally excited to be mentored by other empowered women. Being in a circle of conscious, powerful, wise, caring women helped her tap into her own Wise Woman!

Through the initiation process, the Wise Woman is activated and can get you back on your path of power and back into alignment and integrity with your true self. You’ll be able to identify where you get stuck in disempowered behaviors – whether it’s fear, self-sacrifice, chaos or manipulation. You can overcome the fears hold you back from being your true self. With the gifts of the Wise Woman, you can reclaim your own power, align with your true self and manifest your dreams.

Empowerment and Transformation for Women

Welcome to an adventure of a lifetime on a Cretan holiday for women only. Since 1995 I have been leading sacred journeys to the stunning island of Crete, located in the eastern Mediterranean. It is a great privilege to return once again to a place so rich in feminine history and spirituality, a magical place where we can embody our feminine nature in a profound and healing way.

In ancient times, Crete was a place of holy initiation rites for women, designed to help women align with their femininity, sexuality and powers of intuition and vision. Archeological and mythological evidence reveal the bountiful gifts flowing from the Goddess tradition of this land, including the 3 powerful Cretan Snake Goddesses, the labyrinth, the labrys or double-headed ax, the myths of King Minos and Theseus, the bull dancers of the Cretan court and the ecstatic dancers of Ariadne, high priestess.

During our 12 days together on Crete, we will explore the Cretan priestess tradition, unveiling the Mysteries of feminine empowerment and transformation. These states of being are intrinsic to the feminine way and honoring them will feel like coming home to our deepest self.

As we embody our deep feminine nature and learn to trust our power and our spiritual depth, we can live our life with clarity, compassion and purpose. During the retreat we will integrate our growing knowledge of the Feminine Mysteries by working with Megan’s story of Ariadne, High Priestess of Crete and playing with her Ariadne sacred robe.

Chania (Hanya) and Metacom Retreat Center

We will begin our trip in beautiful Venetian harbor of Chania, which has fabulous jewelry, leather, waterfront restaurants and Cretan crafts of all kinds. As we drive over the luscious mountains to Paleohora, we will stop at Hagia Sophia, a sacred cave with huge stalagmites and stalactites.

For one one week we will stay at the Metacom Retreat Center, situated in one of the wildest, most undeveloped areas of Southwest Crete. The Center is perched on a mountainside overlooking an ancient olive grove and a valley winding down to the dazzling blue of the Mediterranean. The presence of the goddess energy is powerfully pervasive.

Accommodation is offered in traditional Greek, whitewashed rooms (shared twin) with newly tiled floors. The rooms are simple but spacious, each with its own shower and toilet. All  rooms have south facing balconies overlooking the valley. There is a large kitchen and patio shaded under grapevines, where we eat communally. Next to the patio is a beautiful group room for meditation, yoga and workshops.

The center is surrounded by gardens, olive groves and orchards with orange, lemon, fig, mulberry and lime trees, oleanders, cypresses, jasmine and other fragrant plants. The valley also has a mountain stream, freshwater pools, a local Taverna and small white Greek churches.

Near the retreat center is a holy cave, a place of ancient religious worship and pilgrimage. The large cave reaches deep down into the body of the mountain where we will venture for ritual work and meditation.

Only 2 miles down the dramatic mountain road you will emerge on an open peninsula where the town of Paleohora lies. This is the main town with shops, tavernas, beaches, grocery stores, bakery, Post Office, medical center and banks. Paleohora has 2 delightful beaches with snorkeling and water sports and a pier, where large ferries and small sailing boats offer trips along the South Coast and dolphin spotting.

Sougia (soo-ya), Loutro and Heraklion

After leaving Metacom we will travel by ferry to the secluded coastal town of Sougia, where we will hike to the archeological site of Lissos. Lissos is the site of an ancient Priestess Temple, an Asklepion where the priestesses worked with snakes to heal all who came to the Temple from far and wide.

Then we will ferry even farther east to the town of Loutro, accessible only by boat. Here we will kayak together to the mysterious sea caves and swim through the incredibly clear waters of the south Mediterranean. Then we will head north to the capital city of Heraklion to visit the palace of Knossos, the ancient Minoan Temple which ahas been partially reconstructed and has been called one of the wonders of the world.

We will visit the Heraklion Archeological Museum with amazing Feminine artifacts. Our trip will end with a 4th of July celebration at the fabulous rooftop garden restaurant overloking the Heraklion harbor.

Crete – Into the Heart of the Goddess is a post from: Tree of Life Teachings

What does it mean to follow the Visionary on the Path of Change?

When a woman embodies the Visionary she is clear minded, creative and able to envision change. She is master of the element of air and knows how to cut through confusion and illusion and master her thoughts. The Visionary envisions new ways of doing and being and guides others towards necessary transformation.

A Visionary knows what needs to die to be reborn. They encourage change and new direction and breathe life back into the self, the village, the community.

The Shadow Path of Chaos

One woman who came to my Visionary initiation was really struggling with a lot of confusion about who she was and her purpose. She was struggling with what I call the shadow path of the Visionary, the path of Chaos. She was so busy and scattered in her energy that she didn’t follow through with her commitments, was chronically late and procrastinated on completing her creative projects (she was a gifted photographer).

As she described her life, I could feel her anxiety and chaotic energy. I observed how she sabotaged herself time and again – instead of expanding her business or following through with her new products she always got distracted. Some new crisis would occur with her children or ex-partner. When confronted about her chaos, she threw up elaborate smokescreens and made every excuse why things weren’t changing. She really was a master of self-deception.

She really had lost her focus. She had lots of ideas, lots of plans but they never came to fruition. She remained confused, never changing or moving on with her life. Her friends were so frustrated they threw up their hands in exasperation. She suffered also from sabotaging inner voices that said, “You’ll never step into your wisdom and power. You will never change!”

Results of the Visionary Initiation

Being initiated as a Visionary brought some significant changes to this courageous woman! She really wanted to stop the swirling chaos, slow down and discover her true gifts and purpose. Through the different Visionary initiations, she was able to resolve her self- confusion and self-doubt and see clearly where she needed to go and what she needed to do.

In the coming days and months, she began to envision the changes she wanted and focus on her creative projects to expand her business and develop some cool new products for her clients. Our new Visionary women was practicing her affirmation, “I am a Visionary, powerful in mind, full of vision.” This helped her clear her mind and trust in her own creativity.

Join me in learning more about the Visionary archetype and the empowered Path of Change. When you are initiated and embody the Visionary energy you are profoundly clear, discerning and objective. Your mind is liberated from limiting thoughts and beliefs so that you can be creative and innovative, inviting change. As a Visionary you breathe new life where things need to be reborn, renovated, resurrected and transformed.

What does it mean to follow the path of the Queen?

When a woman embodies the Queen, she is loving, compassionate and emotionally balanced. She is master of the element of water and knows how to master emotions and nourish the heart. She is emotionally honest and her heart is true.

A Queen is openhearted, generous and empathetic. A Queen knows that self-love and self-nourishment are the keys to happiness and successful relationships.

The Shadow Path of Self-Sacrifice

Recently I worked with a woman who sacrificed herself for everyone in her life and then complained that she had no energy left for herself. She was stuck in what I call the shadow path of the Queen, the path of self-sacrifice. She was waiting for someone to rescue her out of her misery and martyrdom instead of taking back her emotional power and opening her heart to receive love.

As she described her life, she was exhausted caring for many, many people including her family, friends and clients (she was in the helping professions). She attracted people into her life who needed rescuing because of addictions, bad relationships, you name it – they came to her. Instead of saying no, she continued to care for people even though they did not reciprocate and give much to her.

As a child, she grew up with an alcoholic mother who was very narcissistic so she never really learned how to love or be loved. Her heart had closed long ago, even though the longing to connect and feel love was still very real and painful.  She kept insisting that she did want to be loved and adored but she kept herself closed and impenetrable. It was very hard for her to trust, be vulnerable and open her heart to let people in. So she ended up feeling angry and bitter, drained of energy and doomed to remain forever disappointed in love.

Results of the Queen Initiation

Coming to the Queen Initiation helped her to open her heart. She realized that playing the martyr and sacrificing herself was totally counter-productive to attracting healthy relationships. Through the different initiations she made a conscious choice to open her heart, let love in and let go of the anger and bitterness that kept her heart frozen and caged. She made a powerful commitment to love and nurture herself in tangible ways. After embodying the energy of the Queen she softened and opened in a dramatic way!

In the coming months after the initiation, our new Queen woman was radiating love and compassion. She was practicing her Queen affirmation, “I am a Queen, full of emotion and big of heart.” She was nurturing herself first before anyone else so she felt replenished and filled with new happiness.

Join me in learning more about the Queen archetype and the empowered Path of Compassion. When you are initiated and embody the Queen energy, you feel emotionally centered and balanced. Your heart has been cleansed of debilitating grief, anger, bitterness and disappointment and your heart is open to love. You trust her emotional intelligence and intuition. You are deeply compassionate with yourself and others. As a Queen you hold the emotional container for yourself, your loved ones and your community.

What does it mean to follow the path of the Warrioress?

When a woman embodies the Warrioress, she has a strong, grounded presence. She is connected to the element of earth and knows how to stand her ground.

She draws healthy boundaries around herself to protect and support her vital life essence. A Warrioress is brave in facing and overcoming her fears.

The Shadow Path of Fear

I remember a woman who came to one of my Warrioress workshops who was very fearful and felt she was a victim of her life circumstances. She was stuck in what I call the shadow path of the Warrioress, the path of Fear. She was waiting for someone to rescue her instead of facing her fears and taking back her strength and power.

As she described her life, she was fearful to speak up and assert her own needs. At work she was afraid to defend herself when other people tried to push their own agenda. She was scared of people who had authority over her and was easily intimidated. In her personal life she preferred to play small and not rock the boat. She avoided any kind of confrontation.

As a child she had been emotionally abused by an intrusive mother and had never learned how to make appropriate boundaries for herself. Without an energetic shield to protect herself she allowed others to exploit her physically and emotionally. Slowly she became downtrodden and gave up her goals.

She suffered from victimizing inner dialogue which went something like,  “you can’t do this, you’re not capable of that, who do you think you are?” In the end, she felt more and more isolated and victimized by her own fears.

Results of the Warrioress Initiation

Coming to the Warrioress initiation took a lot of courage for her but she really wanted to find her own strength, not be victimized anymore and she wanted to face her fears. Through the different initiations, she bravely faced some fears and learned how to make strong and appropriate boundaries around herself. She practiced standing her ground and speaking her truth. After embodying the energy of the Warrioress, she looked remarkably stronger, taller and more solid.

In the coming months our new Warrioress woman transformed her victimizing inner dialogue. She practiced one of the Warrioress affirmations, “I am a Warrioress, powerful in body, focused and strong.” She practiced holding firm boundaries and not allowing anyone to intimidate her by trying to push her boundary or assert their own agenda.

Join me in learning more about the Warrioress archetype ad the empowered Path of Strength. When you are initiated and embody the Warrioress energy, you feel instinctively alive and profoundly connected to your body and to the earth. You are grounded, courageous, bold and empowered to face your fears. You stands your ground, speaks your truth and hold boundaries to protect your precious life essence. As a Warrioress you are the strength of your community, protecting and defending personal and collective truth.

When a woman embodies the Manifestor, she can focus her will, manifest her desires and is prepared for action! She is master of the element of fire and knows how to control her will with purposeful direction.

A Manifestor sees what needs to be done and inspires, motivates and leads so the dream can be accomplished. A Manifestor aligns her powerful will to the  universal will and considers the highest good for all concerned. Manifestors have the courage to shine their big fiery light and inhabit their full power without apology.

The Shadow Path of Manipulation

One  woman who came to a Manifestor initiation workshop was really struggling to get her will under control. She was quite domineering and she manipulated situations and people to get what she wanted. She was stuck in what I call the shadow path of the Manifestor, the path of Manipulation. She left a path of devastation wherever she went as she exploited people to get what she wanted. People were intimidated by her and so they stayed away. It didn’t surprise me when she admitted feeling isolated, lonely and powerless.

When she reflected on her life, she was aware that she alienated her loved ones by compulsively working and she alienated co-workers by pushing them aside, disregarding their desires and disempowering them. She was successful, competent, directed and purposeful – but to what end? There was a hole in her belly filled with a lack of self-confidence and insecurity. She hated that she secretly felt invisible and powerless but when she could manipulate others, it felt so good, it filled the hole in her belly and made her feel important.

She was so tired of this vicious cycle, she wanted to come into right relationship with her power and not use it to manipulate others any longer. But she knew she’d have to make amends, control her will and face her loneliness and self-hatred. She could see how the years of manipulation choked the life out of all she loved and left her barren and empty.

Results of the Manifestor Initiation

Coming to the Manifestor initiation helped her to focus her considerable will in a more positive, life-giving direction. She began to understand the power of her destructive will and the severe consequences when she used her power to dominate and control. Through the different initiations, she learned tame her fire, focus her fire, radiate her fire and command her fiery will.

In the coming months she practiced aligning her will with the higher will of Spirit and dedicating the whole operation to the highest good for all. She also practiced considering what other people want and need and came to see the value in sacrificing her own needs and desires in order to compromise and stay connected in relationships. What a huge difference this made in her relationships!

Join me in learning more about the Manifestor archetype and the empowered Path of Action. When you are initiated and embody the Manifestor energy you will use your conscious will wisely to manifest your dreams and desires in real life. You will be able to mobilize the resources you need and you will inspire, motivate and empower others to manifest their highest good. In this way we will all be shining our bright light, radiating our full power and creating the world to which we aspire and dream!

As I travel around the world, I’ve noticed that many indigenous cultures train their children in the “Earth Mysteries” so they can connect with  nature and treat nature as deeply sacred.

When these children grow up to be adults, they naturally connect with the Earth as a sacred being that is alive and vibrant and worthy of our deepest care and respect. Connecting to nature is a spiritual practice, it comes easy to them. Can we connect in the same way?

In this post we are going to explore how to connect with nature as a spiritual practice

The Earth is Sacred

In indigenous cultures, the Earth is seen as our sacred birthplace, our holy temple, our sacred ground. It is no surprise that these traditional cultures create people who deeply appreciate the Earth and its bounty and as a result have a relationship to the body that is easy, unashamed and beautifully embodied.

These cultures initiate their children in the “Earth Mysteries” and teach that connecting to nature and the sacred Earth is a spiritual practice.

I was intrigued by this and wanted to be initiated into the Earth Mysteries myself so I could have a positive relationship to my body and to the beautiful Earth!

The Anima Mundi

Doing a bit of research, I learned that Mystics from most traditions agree that matter is far from dead, but is alive as a vibrant field of energy, constantly infused with the divine life force. The Earth herself is a vivacious entity, breathing her great seasonal breaths in and out. She is a living earth, constantly evolving.

Archetypal Psychologists call this living Earth, the Anima Mundi, which means “soul of the world”.

The Earth has a living soul, the Anima Mundi, that is radiating with divine energy, dancing and dynamically alive.

So when you go into the mountains, sit by the seashore or take a walk through a beautiful forest, feel the soul of the world pulsing with vibrant energy. Really connect with this vibrant energy field and feel this pulse in your own body.

Connecting with Nature as a Spiritual Practice

Don’t you always feel better when you connect with nature? I certainly do. I feel calmer and more relaxed. I also feel vibrant and more alive.

Next time you feel out of sorts, walk in nature and let the earth calm and hold you. Nature has a powerful healing effect because it is vibrating with natural divine energy.

Take off your shoes, stand in the waves, feel the dirt beneath your feet, take some deep breaths. Feel the pulse of the Anima Mundi and enjoy your Sacred Earth.

Many intriguing legends surround the mysterious Sapphire Staff. According to the Kabbalah, the Sapphire Staff was given to Adam and Eve by the Archangel Raziel when they left the Garden of Eden.

It was said to be adorned with ten descending sapphire jewels representing the ten divine emanations from the Tree of Life, which stands in the heart of Eden, sustaining all of existence with divine light and consciousness. (see Diagram)

The Staff’s Mystical Teachings

The sapphires on the staff (called “Sephirot” on the Tree of Life) are said to contain all of the mystical teaching, showing us how to awaken our true humanity, live consciously and connect with the Divine. So when Adam and Eve ventured forth from the garden, they carried with them a complete representation of the Tree of Life in the form of a staff, providing them with all they needed to grow, thrive and have a meaningful life.

The Sapphire Staff was then passed down through the generations as a staff of knowledge, from Abraham to Isaac to Jacob and then to Joseph, who had become one of top advisors to the Egyptian Pharaoh. When Joseph died in Egypt, legend says that the staff was taken into the Egyptian palace and, generations later, taken by Jethro, the priest of Midian.

It is said that Jethro was walking in his garden one day when he plunged the staff into the ground. Then, when he tried to pull it out, he discovered that the staff had transformed into a tree, sprouted roots and was blooming.

From that time forward, no one could uproot the staff that had become a tree. It was said that the One who could easily take it would not only receive Jethro’s daughter in marriage, but would also be the redeemer of Israel.

And so the story goes that Moses, who was in the line of Abraham, came to the land of Jethro after fleeing Egypt in search of a new life. As Moses spent time with Jethro and his family, he was eager to marry Jethro’s daughter, Zipporah. Moses was therefore challenged to go into Jethro’s garden and attempt to uproot the Staff/Tree. This was quite an ordeal as all other suitors had been devoured by the Tree.  Moses went to the Tree and easily pulled it out of the ground, thus winning Zipporah’s hand in marriage, reclaiming the great staff of knowledge and activating his destiny – to become redeemer of Israel.

Moses married Zipporah, settled in the land of Jethro and used his staff to tend flocks of sheep. For many years he shepherded and apprenticed with Jethro until one day, his life changed in a dramatic way, as did the function of his staff. On that fateful day, Moses was out tending his flock when he encountered the Divine in the form of a burning bush. During this numinous encounter, he received his calling to redeem Israel by returning to Egypt to liberate his people from slavery.

Moses wondered how in the world he would fulfill this task, so God told Moses to throw down his staff, and when he did, it became a serpent. God then told Moses to pick up the serpent by the tail, and when he did, it became a staff once again. Moses’ staff had now become a staff of wonders, imbued with divine power. It was now a tool he could carry with him to remind him of his destiny, give him support on the journey and to grant skills to accomplish his mission.

After freeing his people from slavery in Egypt and fulfilling his role as redeemer of Israel, Moses passed down the staff of knowledge – knowledge of mystical awakening and skills for conscious living – to the next generation and so on after him.

The Tree and Staff as Symbols

From this legend, we learn that the Tree and Staff are interchangeable symbols, transforming miraculously from one into the other throughout time. The story begins in the Garden of Eden with Raziel handing Adam and Eve the Sapphire Staff that embodies all of the teachings from the Tree of Life. The staff transforms back into a tree in Jethro’s garden and again changes into a staff for Moses to carry with him on his journey of destiny.

Why is this interchangeable quality significant? Because it suggests that the Sapphire Staff is a portable form of the Tree of Life, the body of teaching that we can carry with us wherever we go. The Staff is available to us if we take it in hand and begin to walk the path of awakening. Each of us possesses a staff of knowledge – our own model of the Tree of Life – which is designed specially for us to guide us on our journey of discovery and destiny.

According to legend, the Sapphire Staff is no ordinary staff made of ordinary wood, but an extraordinary staff made of sapphires – translucent crystal, shining as if from a star. Sapphires are typically known as precious stones of blue. However, they exist in a variety of colors, including orange, yellow, red, green, blue, violet, white and even black.

These rainbow colors are notably associated with the chakras or “centers of consciousness” as they are referred to in Kabbalah.

As we walk the mystical path, these centers of consciousness awaken, causing the sapphires to shine and illuminate our path more clearly. In turn, this helps us master each stage of development and facilitates psychological and spiritual maturity.

Thus our Sapphire Staff becomes what royal staffs have always represented: a symbol of mastery, awakened consciousness, personal power, sovereignty and affirmation of our royal inheritance. Each of us has a right to hold our Sapphire Staff, for we are all children of God.
