"
For some, priestess is a familiar vibration --
a deep
knowing or remembering
of times past when we
sacredly revered
the Earth and lovingly served the spiritual needs
of community."

What The
Priest~ess Process™ is:
It is a living
Presence which expresses through an enlivening 9-month initiatory process
for
those
open to an entirely new, direct spiritual experience. When
actively engaged, this loving
Presence assists in awakening the vibration of the Priestess archetype
within aspiring Initiates.
The nature of The Priest~ess Process is experiential.
It is both sacred and sovereign, ceremonial and celebratory.
Its energy is alive, vibrant, mutable!
Each Circle gathering within the 9-month initiatory process
energetically builds,
feeds,
and helps sustain both the collective and individual consciousness of Initiates.
Initiates awaken and begin accessing the divine wisdom of their own
inner authority,
creating better understanding, acceptance, & integration
of all aspects of the sacred Self.
What The Priest~ess Process™ is not:
It is not a
course designed to teach or train one
how to become a Priest~ess.
The primary precepts for
engaging The Priest~ess Process™ are that
Initiates:
1) Embrace their own Inner Authority and Co-Creative Divinity
2) Work with the power of Sacred Intent
3) Co-create Living Ceremony
4) Self-Proclaim as Priest~ess upon fulfillment of their initiatory cycle
General information:
Originator:
The Priest~ess Process™
was sourced by Magdalene Nicole Christine in Tucson, AZ in 1996.
(Please visit
www.MagdaleneMysteries.com to learn
more about Nicole and her story).
Facilitator:
The Process will be facilitated by Magdalene Priestess and
Certified Priest~ess Process Facilitator™
Sharon Fallon Shreve, held in the sacred temple space of her home,
ILLUMINATA, located in Clifton, VA.
Engaging The Process:
It is customary for aspiring
Initiates to meet or speak privately with the facilitator before
finalizing their decision to engage The Process. This is not
for screening purposes, rather
an enriched, intimate time which provides both Initiate &
facilitator an opportunity to discuss
in depth any questions or concerns either may have.
Format 1: A Circle of Initiates (usually 8-12)
gathers for six (6) weekends within a 9-month period.
Weekends are both Saturday & Sunday from approximately 10:00 am - 5:00 pm.
Format 2: A Circle of Initiates (usually 8-12)
gathers once per month, either a Saturday or Sunday,
from 9:00 a.m.-
600 p.m., for 9 consecutive months.
Note: Nine months represents a gestation
period, a cycle in which Initiates are pregnant
with their
priest~ess selves.
At the conclusion of the Introductory
gathering, a Circle is sealed.
Those wishing
to engage
The Process™ after this must wait for the formation of a new Circle.

Thank you for understanding that once the Initiation process has been engaged, tuition payment
is required for each weekend/gathering
regardless of attendance. This vibrationally ensures
sacred intent,
amplifying each Initiate's commitment to both
Self and Circle.
Attendance:
It is so important to
understand that once Initiation is engaged, any Initiate's absence
from Circle substantially draws from
the Circle’s creative and
collective energy. Therefore, attendance
for each gathering is mandatory.
Should illness or emergency
prevent an Initiate from being in Circle,
missed time will need to be
made up privately with the facilitator
at a cost additional to tuition.
Food: Initiates contribute food and drinks for community
snacks and Potluck luncheons.
Dress: Initiates are encouraged to dress as ceremoniously and/or comfortably as they wish!
