journey to the goddess with me!
My journey to the Goddess began in South India during a theatre immersion in ancient Indian dance. When I danced the Goddess in her many forms and I discovered that She is a real force. She gave me a glimpse into women’s truest potential and power, something that had been hidden from me during my Christian upbringing.
This experience compelled me to embark on a life-long journey to discover what it means to be a woman through the eyes of the world’s goddesses.
Today, I guide spiritual women recovering from patriarchal religious conditioning on a mythological journey to reclaim their sacred feminine power.
What is Journey to the Goddess?
JOURNEY TO THE GODDESS TV provides information on goddesses meant to be a general overview (think Goddess Studies 101) on recent goddess scholarship, artistry, and feminine embodiment techniques that can help you on your journey.
In my RETREATS, WORKSHOPS, & COURSES I teach the art of re-sacralizing feminine embodiment to women who are seeking to fall in love with being a woman.

GUIDED PILGRIMAGES to Mary Magdalene’s sites in France aim to teach women the history and archetypal wisdom of Mary Magdalene.
My RITUAL THEATER PERFORMANCES aim to center and reclaim Goddess traditions within patriarchal mythologies. They also connect female blood to the Goddess, and reclaim both as powerful symbols of death and regeneration within the Living Cycles of life and death.

“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.”
