"I am just amazed at how this circle by-passed my rationalizing and my intellectualizing in a very deep way."
Watch 1 min video testimonial >>> As Venus begins an 18-month regenerative journey through death, birth and rebirth, we are calling together a sacred circle of companions, ready for radical renewal, held in a sacred space of self-initiation. We are Earthing ourselves and the medicine spirit has gifted us to carry as a birth rite, guided by our connection to cosmic and earth forces. |

Sanctify: Your Medicine* in the Making
Working with the symbolism found in the story of Inanna, Sumerian Queen of the Heavens, we will enter a process of self-initiation, which begins with death by intent and ends with the renewed expression of our unique nature. In Soul Level Astrology, we hold that the previous Venus Cycle harnessed a very expanded, horizontal energy that needed to move us into new worlds (inner and outer). On the outer, this is a "we're not liberated until we're all liberated" ethos. And, on the inner, it's the need to unite our divergent parts, often finding the liberation available through overcoming inner-conflicts and harmonizing.
This Venus Cycle has a more vertical love force that stretches us to root our humanity in Earth with spiritual perspectives that build lasting structures. Our intention in this current cycle is to build new structures, both in yourself and in the outside world, that are constellated by the pulse of your own unique nature.

The circle has been designed to nourish the feminine part of your nature through sacred texts, ritual, astrological insight and deep connection to self & other.
* We are using the word medicine as a multi-cultural connection point that embraces the healing, spiritual and folk traditions of our ancestors and rooted in nature. This journey will be supported by the making of ritual tools and meaningful adornments that help align us with our inner nature, and whatever call we may have to include expressions of our biological/spiritual ancestry.
