About 13 Moons: Goddess Archetype Mentoring

In this unique Archetype focused mentoring program, you can choose to concentrate on one particular Goddess Archetype in a month long intensive course, or you may prefer to embrace all thirteen Goddess Archetypes in a year long immersive project called Thirteen Moons.
​
In the first example, you will choose which Goddess you will involve yourself with for four weeks. During that time you will learn in depth about the Archetype that Goddess embodies, which other feminine figures through history and mythology are also influenced by that archetype, and how you can use the archetype in your life to your advantage. We will cover the shadow side of the archetype and her positive qualities through readings, ritual, journal work and two hour long Skype conversations over the four week period.

Thirteen Moons is a year long immersion that covers each of the thirteen Goddess Archetypes that are available through this Mentoring process. Each Goddess and the Archetype she embodies is studied from the first day of the Waning Gibbous Moon, through the New Moon and culminating when the Moon reaches her full. As above this will involve meditations, 'homework', rituals and two Skype conversations for each Archetype.
