Aphrodite, Muse of Inner Beauty
Priestessed by Jessica Allen 
February 12th, 2022 at 7 pm EST/5 pm MST via Zoom

Beloved Wild & Wise Womb-man,
PictureThe Birth of Venus, Painting by Sandro Botticelli
We gather to venerate the Olympian Goddess of Love, Beauty, Pleasure, and Procreation, APHRODITE. To invite her teachings into our lives as she demonstrates how life can be blissful by appreciating our own beauty. She is un-self-conscious in celebrating her nudity and that of others. She shows us our own capacity to have empathy with appropriate boundaries. And with her poetic and persuasive speech, she's able to move us to a state of transcendental love without needing another to act as a catalyst.
 
Gather With the Goddess on February 12th, to learn more about the fascinating history of Aphrodite through the ages, invite her blessings into your life, learn how to create an altar to honor her, and a little magick to help you embrace your beautiful muse. After the event, you will have exclusive access to our private Facebook group for those Gathering With the Goddess participants. This ensures intimate familiarity with each other to increase the support and strength of our growing sisterhood.

Be sure to have a good sized mirror to gaze into and white tea light candle readily available at the start of ceremony.

This teaching is inspired by The Inner Goddess Makeover written
by the woman ​who initiated me into ancient women's ritual and Red Tent, Tanishka.

For Your Consideration & Comfort

To maximize your experience, the day of it is wise and helpful to create a sacred quiet space, free from distractions, so you are able to be fully present in the Temple of the Goddess.
Please have the following items immediately available at the start of our gathering:​
​
  • Non-alcoholic beverage of your choosing. Suggested Ritual Activity: brew a mindful cup or pot of tea
  • White tea light candle – you will be guided to light your flame in ceremony (to be lit in ceremony to represent your inner light)
  • ​Journal/paper, something to write with to record insights, teachings, and a personal recording Suggestion: Dedicate a journal to record your personal journey while Gathering With the Goddess this year.
  • Sweater, blanket, and/or pillow – can simulate receiving a hug and is a technique to love and cherish yourself​ ​

    You will receive a Welcome Packet and the Zoom link to our private gathering once we confirm your invitation and receive your $18 Love Offering.

What is Red Tent?

Each Tent offered is an opportunity to enter the Temple of the Goddess. A Divine honor and privilege to be alive in a place and space in time where we are safe and free to gather. Together, we are healing our wounds of suffering and silence from the past. As we heal, our healing ripples across time and space reaching through the portal of time. To be seen by the Goddess and witnessed by our Sisters is more powerful than you can imagine!

Interested in learning more about Red Tent?
The Red Tent, by Anita Diamant, is the book that has inspired a Global Movement. Women who read this book unlock an ancient memory and longing to gather with other women and remember who they are as sacred and holy vessels of Spirit. ​

​
There is also a wonderful documentary officially endorsed under Nectar of Life Counseling called Things We Don't Talk About: Women's Stories from the Red Tent.

Not sure about how Christianity and the Goddess can co-exist? 
Dance of the Dissident Daughter, by Sue Monk Kidd, opens long hidden secrets of what was dissolved from scripture through intentional acts of erasing the value and importance of women. The research has already been expertly done by a self-proclaimed conventionally religious woman.
