“..they found messages everywhere: the pattern of birds’ wings, the way a stick fell or a leaf rode the current of a stream. They gazed into wells and skies. And because they were paying attention, the earth, the water, and skies, animals and birds yielded secrets.”
from Red-Robed Priestess by Elizabeth Cunningham

8 virtual day-long retreats
We’ll mark the sacred seasons with day-long virtual retreats. Each season we’ll meet on Zoom and spend the day focusing on one archetype and the magic of her season. Using the Archetype Mapping technique, ritual, writing prompts, meditation, and divination, together we’ll explore the intricacies of the archetypes and the sacred seasons. HERE is the 2024 TMY schedule.
8 rituals kits
For each sacred season, you will receive a beautifully curated ritual kit in the mail that will include things like sacred stones, divinations, candles, apothecary products, and all manner of wonders. Each kit will come with detailed instructions for a solo ritual.
7 “Magic Mind” sessions
A week after your solo ritual, we’ll gather on Zoom for a Magic Mind session that will help you harvest the meaning from your ritual experience. This process is unique to my work. It’s part poetry and part channel; an inclusive, community building experience that helps you home in on precisely how the sacred season will “work you”. The Dreaming ritual will not include a magic mind. HERE is the 2024 TMY schedule.
7 seasonal attunement calls
To help you individualize your experience, you will have one 30-minute phone call with me per season (excluding the Dreaming Season). In these phone calls, I’ll listen deeply to your experience with each archetype and sacred season, then offer you potent reflection. These calls will help you understand how the archetype is transforming you and contributing toward self-knowing and personal evolution.
Course materials
You’ll get:
- a binder to hold all of your course material
- printed copy of the Materia Mystica & Support pages
- printed copy of Altar Craft and Seasonal Primer for each season
- printed Mystical Rhythms calendars
- printed Archetype Mapping worksheets
- access to digital Student Library of all course materials, class recordings, and Student Resource List, which are downloadable
- Mystic’s Kit of Archetype Anointing oils
The Mystical Thread
Each week you’ll get an audio recording to keep you in the rhythm of the season, along with divination questions to personalize the Work. These recordings will focus on topics from the Materia Mystica. You’ll also get a Mystical Rhythms Calendar class and a Archetypal Stone Medicine class for each season.
