Devoted to the Goddess Three Year, Three Spiral Training
With Ren Chapman and Kathy Jones This Three Spiral training offers you a wonderful opportunity to journey deeply into the Heart of the Goddess in Avalon, connecting to the Lady of Avalon and Her Mysteries. The course is led by Priestesses of Avalon Ren Chapman and Kathy Jones, who have many years’ experience of teaching, healing and working within the transformative energies of Avalon. Ren Chapman teaches the First and Second Spirals of the Priestess of Avalon training, mentored by Kathy Jones, who teaches the Third Spiral. Kathy is the founder of the Priestess of Avalon training, the author of several ground-breaking books on British Goddesses, sacred Avalon and healing, and has an international reputation as an authority on the Goddess. She is a co-founder of the Glastonbury Goddess Temple and the annual international Goddess Conference. During the First Spiral participants meet at the eight natural Sunfire festivals of the year, beginning at Samhain, the Keltic New Year. Through the eight circles we explore the teachings and ceremonies connected to the seasons of the Goddess in Brigit’s Isles. Teachings are grounded in Britannia’s Wheel, which is different to the Wiccan Wheel and is specifically designed to invoke the presence of the ancient and present day British Goddesses. The First Spiral is taught by Priestess of Avalon Ren Chapman, mentored by Kathy Jones. Students are given the course book Priestess of Avalon, Priestess of the Goddess by Kathy Jones or another of Kathy’s books, at the beginning of their training. In the First Spiral students journey together through a teaching and ceremonial cycle learning what it means to become a true heart Sister or Brother of Avalon, the land of Goddess. The First Spiral is completed at a special Ceremony in which successful participants make their own Vow of Dedication to the Goddess. During the Second Spiral over eight weekends, students learn to develop their personal priest/essing skills, exploring the role of Goddess ceremonialist, counsellor, visionary and spiritual friend. Teaching is given on creating and performing Goddess inspired ceremonies for all rites of passage, laying the seeds for your practice as a Priestess or Priest of the Goddess and Avalon and there will be opportunities to priest/ess in ceremonies in the Glastonbury Goddess Temple. You learn to work at a deeper energetic level. You learn to travel between the upper, middle and lower worlds of Avalon for healing, guidance and soul retrieval looking into the present to unravel the past and to scry for visions for yourself and your community. Gender issues are explored as they relate to your life and the practice of being a priestess or priest of the Goddess. You learn how to embody the Goddess and offer Her blessings to others and have the chance to explore the transformatory mysteries of the Glastonbury Tor Labrynth.
