Chrysalis Woman

Greetings and Bright Blessings Sacred Woman!

Another bountiful year is before us… a year filled with the promise of new growth, new experiences and best of all… new sisters ;-) 

For those who follow numerology (and those who don’t), 2008 is a Global “1” year.  A year of change, new beginnings and experiences!  A great year to try something new, expand your horizons and do something that you’ve always wanted to do, but maybe never allowed yourself the opportunity. 

Here at Chrysalis Woman we strive to offer a range of opportunities for women to experience new growth, become a part of a Community of Sisters and rekindle their relationship to not only them-selves but the Sacred Feminine. 

Maybe you’ve had a chance to visit us this last year, maybe you’ve been attending our events regularly or maybe we have yet to meet you… one thing we can promise you… we’re here for you, whenever you’re ready to take that leap of faith and experience something new… to experience a remembering of your sacredness and the importance of your wholeness.

Below is an example of what is offered through Chrysalis Woman… if you’d like more information, simply give me a call (209) 772-0511

Monthly Goddess Circles (February-October)

Come and experience another year of monthly gatherings with sisters of all paths who wish to reconnect with the Sacred Feminine within & without.  We’ll continue to meet each month near the full moon to honor a Goddess from a specific culture and experience healing rituals that can include drumming, singing, art, dancing, meditation and self exploration.

NEW IN 2008! Monthly Goddess Studies Program (February-October)

This program was created for women who wish to deepen their experience and understanding of the many faces & aspects of Goddess.  Women in this program receive via email an introduction to the Goddess they’ll be working with for the current lunation, links for additional research on Her correspondences & culture, instruction on how to build an altar to Her and suggested projects for connecting with her energy. Each woman is then given the option of attending our corresponding Goddess Circle which deepens her experience or have the ritual emailed to her to perform on her own.  Journal questions are given that help to round out the experience.  This program follows each lunar cycle & the monthly Goddess Circles and is available monthly or as a nine month program.

Priestess Program (February-October)

Women who have graduated from the Woman’s Sacred Wheel apprenticeship (formally known as the Initiate Program) are invited to deepen their experience of the Sacred Feminine by participating in a nine month long Priestess Program.  Having remembered the core of Woman Craft, they are now ready to experience & practice Goddess ritual.  Meeting twice a month (one evening for weaving together ritual, the other for our monthly Goddess Circle), women experience the art of Circle Casting, Ritual Creation, Invocation/Revocation of Directional Elements & Energy Work.

Sacred Wheel Year Long Apprenticeship Program (February-October)

A year long journey through the labyrinth of Women’s Wisdom.  A remembering at this time of coming Earth Changes of how necessary the Sacred Feminine is to the healing of our woman selves, families, communities and Mother Earth.  Study includes a journey through the cycles of our blessed Earth and living the connections we experience as she changes her seasonal rhythms.  Women awaken to the root that connects them to the Earth, remembering and honoring the cyclical blood mysteries of Fertility, Pregnancy & Birth, Menstruation & Menopause as well as their connection to Grandmother Moon.  They learn to work with herbal allies, experience the seven directions and corresponding elements/animals guides, plant spirits.  They experience the path of Feminism, Sisterhood, Goddess and the Sacred Feminism and much more!

(2008 Class limited to 12 women – 5 spots still available)

CYCLES E-Zine

An online magazine filled with information on the Sacred Cycles of Goddess, Mother Earth, Grandmother Moon and Women’s Life Passages (Fertility, Pregnancy/Birth & Beyond, Moon-Time & Moon-Pause).  Coming out eight times a year following the Earth’s Holy Days, she is filled with earth & herbal wisdom, woman craft and sisterhood.  

Attached you’ll find a Welcome packet that outlines our 2008 year, gives more information on what Chrysalis Woman offers, dates of our events, as well as Sisterhood options for those women who enjoy regular participation and would benefit from discounts.

Here’s wishing you all a bountiful New Year ~ may you be blessed, may this year be abundant and most of all… may you continue to remember your sacredness as a woman and the importance of your wisdom during this time on our Mother Earth.

Many Blessings and Much Love
