This Comprehensive Course Includes These Seven Magickal Workshops!

Workshop 1: Your Grounding

Come learn to build an altar and open a circle! Working with correspondences like crystals, essential oils, and plants, that we call mat support, you will learn various techniques to ground when you can’t make your way outdoors. In this course you will work through six lessons that include self-massage and grounding movement. Then, after working through five versions of savasana you will experience a magickal forest meditation. Last, you will journal before learning to close a circle.

Workshop 2: Your Chakra Clearing

The spinning vortexes of our bodies’ natural energy system are known as ‘chakras’ – a word from Sanskrit literally meaning wheel. As you work through this workshops eight lessons you will learn to layer energy (using crystals, oils, colors, and frequency) for chakra clearing using ritual, movement (this time restorative yoga poses), mantra, and meditation.

Workshop 3: Your Inner Child Honoring

In this workshop, you will build an altar to your inner child. Through five lessons you will play in movement, with each pose grounding and journaling to connect with the child within you. In a restorative child’s pose you will work through an Orb of Light meditation, finishing with an inner child honoring ritual to honor and nurture her. Your inner child is ready to be seen, heard, and loved – mothered as only you can!

Workshop 4: Your Self-Love

“In a society that profits from your self-doubt, liking yourself is a rebellious act.” Caroline Caldwell
So, let’s be rebels! In this workshop of six lessons, beyond the movement and mirror work meditation, you will be adorning yourself and using essential oils for emotional support. In ritual, you will learn about and create a self-love spell jar that will continue to support you in this work.

Workshop 5: Your Transformation

In this five-lesson workshop, you will be burning the stories you are sick of in your life. These are the old stories that are not only personal to you as an individual, but also those shared by humanity along with those you inherit through genetic legacy. You will seek to release any unhealthy attachments you hold. Once those are gone, you will then learn to fill the space with new stories of personal courage and healing for yourself and others. Beyond this powerful ritual you will learn the Dance of the Warrior and participate in a Blanketing Ceremony along with more adornment (this time involving runes) and journaling.

Workshop 6: Your Oath

This seven-lesson workshop will begin with an art therapy exercise, an inspiration candle spell, and a meditation to get your creativity flowing. Then, through three different sessions of brainstorming and mantra-led movement you will prepare for the important task of clarifying your life vision and writing your Oath of Sovereignty.

Workshop 7: Your Goddess Crowning

In this final workshop, you will create your crown before creating your own Goddess Ceremony. Everything you have worked for will come together in this powerful ritual where you claim your throne as Warrior Goddess, as the Queen of your own life!

Claim Your Sovereignty…Honor the Goddess Within

This is your invitation to be a part of our circle and to claim the throne as ruler of your own life. Join Kirstein Howell and Nichole Catalano-Miller for a transformative, seven-part series unlike anything else available. In it you will:

• • Learn how to use embodied movement to center into your own being and consecrate space for ritual
  • Design your own ritual practice to clarify and manifest your deepest intentions
  • Understand and fully embody your purpose
  • Become empowered and decisive in your life, responsible for your own needs, dreams, and wellbeing
  • Utilize magickal tools to help you focus and live out your highest purpose
  • Step into your sovereignty and build healthy practices to support your spirit
  • Be invited into a private Facebook group where you can feel free to ask any questions, as well as meet other women going through the same journey.

“In a society that profits from your self-doubt, liking yourself is a rebellious act.” -Caroline Caldwell

Let’s be rebels! In this powerful workshop, we will be combining ritual, magickal movement, and meditation to cultivate the soil of our own hearts, tenderly transforming our inner critic and self-judgment into gentle, inner confidants, supports, and guides. We will learn to befriend all aspects of ourselves, to honor, love, nurture, and embrace our being, fully, as we are, in this moment. This is the seat of personal power and the cauldron from which magick springs.

Included in this powerful practice will be the creation of a self-love spell jar that will continue to support you in this work long after the circle has closed.

A sweet and simple mini-course teaching you exactly how to, not just build an altar, but also how to properly open and close your sacred circle. Included are many tips on how to personalize your practice and make it your own. Plus, we have included several scripts, and 3 separate videos to get you started on your journey!
