Four Seasons Journey

COURSE OUTLINE  •  WHAT YOU RECEIVE  •  LOCATIONS

The FourSeasons Journey is a one-year immersion into the Women’s Mysteries and the philosophy and practice of Shamanic Womancraft.

The Journey is an experiential and educational program, open to women of all ages. Students are offered an in-depth opportunity to remember the wisdom of the cycles.

In a safely held circle we explore our inner world, heal our past wounds and transform into sovereign women. We reclaim Sisterhood, connection with the Earth and the Sacred Feminine for all our relations.

Focused on the shamanic perspective of cycles – of the Earth, Life, Moon and the menstrual cycle of Woman – the 4SJ prepares its students to become Shamanic Craftswomen – teachers and practitioners of the women’s mysteries, for their community and beyond, in the worthy mission of healing the wounded feminine, healing birth and healing the Earth.

The Eight Seasons Journey (8SJ) offers the same curriculum as the 4SJ spread over a 2-year period.

Course Outline

The curriculum is delivered via six face-to-face gatherings and five coursework modules (homestudy reading and preparation).

This content is intended to add to each student’s abilities as woman, parent, healer, birthkeeper, community leader, the understanding and skills to work in the inner shamanic realms – facilitating transformation for themselves and others on their journeys.

Opening Gathering

Meet your fellow Journey-women and make a frame drum, ancient tool of women’s spirituality.

Full Moon Gathering

Make a mask of your Power Animal and move with its medicine under the Full Moon.

Dark Moon Gathering

Deepen your understanding of seven goddess archetypes and enact the Descent of Inanna in a powerful group ceremony.

Wilderness Solo

Spend three days and three nights soloing on the land with full-bodied presence, bookended by the deepest of story-telling and wild celebration!

Wilderness Solo Debrief

Gather one moon later to share your experiences post-Wilderness Solo, and weave them into a (literal) work of art.

Closing Gathering

Share what you’ve learned of this Shamanic Womancraft Way with your sisters in a loving ocean of oxytocin!
