The Details

To be a powerful creator, we need our roots deep in the dark fertile soil.

We cannot manifest and create a “New World” or even the life we want from a dissociated, or grabby, state of control.

A decade ago, I took my first (semi) conscious trip to the Underworld.

I thought it was the deepest, most inward trip I would take in my lifetime.

Little did I know how often I would return to the same place.

How this would become a place of buried treasure. And how I would begin to welcome opportunities to open wide enough to go down that far.

Each time hitting a new layer of my own soul’s truth. Revealing something previously hidden, something that would end up being crucial to my life in the Upperworld.

Call these treasures, or “internal tools of power”. A Power forged in the Dark

What is The Underworld?

In Shamanic cosmology The Underworld is the realm of the Feminine. Of the Mother, of the Soul. 

We travel to the Underworld for deep nourishment. Once there, we allow ourselves to lay down in the soil, and receive Her nutrients. 

In the Underworld we are “fertilized” by our worldly experiences and they are then transmuted into a “new thing”.

The Underworld is a realm of “soul retrieval”… a homecoming for our exiled parts. Where they can be reintegrated with love.

It’s a realm of rest and digestion. 

While the “Underworld” carries certain negative connotations in our over-materialized, culture, this is actually just a manifestation of our collective “Mother wound” that darkly colors our perception of the lower world. 

A genuine Underworld experience, re-introduces us, body and soul, to the living source of love that pulsates from the center of the Earth. And reminds us that we are never separate from this living source of love. 

It offers us an ecstatic encounter with our life. 

In the Underworld, there is a welcome release of what is weighing us down. There is room for our lament.

Imagine the way a child runs to its Mother, when things feel too big to hold alone. This is what the Underworld offers us. An opportunity hand off the excess baggage to the Mother. 

In the Underworld, She holds and embraces us we give over the parts of ourselves that we’ve found difficult to love. 

And with the eyes of love, she cherishes us. 

It is here we are reintroduced to the interconnected web of life, and we find a different kind of belonging. 

Yes, the “work” of the Underworld is deep and profound. But it is not a trip to the Hell Realms.

It is a trip to the realms of our own nature. 

The Myth of Inanna is Star Story, a Venus Star story to be exact. 

If you remember in Inanna’s myth, she descends through seven Gates and arrives in the Underworld to meet her Dark Sister Erishkagel. 

Erishkagel is the mythic representation of Inanna’s exiled parts.

When we meet Erishkagel, she is on the floor giving birth. At the very same time she slays Inanna. 

As this drama plays out, two of Inanna’s helpers from the Upper World come down and deeply empathize with her. Mirroring her pain back to her through the eyes of love. 

Then they move onto Inanna and sprinkle her with the bread and water of life. 

This clues us into a few things. First, the motif of the “Mother” being a central character in the story.

Secondly, the metaphorical, simultaneous, death and rebirth, is a symbolic clue of transmutation, or becoming a new thing through the medium of love and compassion.

Said another way, it is through meeting ourselves in the metaphorical dark, with the love of the mother, we become a new thing. Fully transformed. 

This is the central “Drama” of the Venus Story. 

Where we will go together is a Mystery.

The Mystery is part of the Underworld’s Power

If you feel Underworld Calling you, I invite you to listen to your soul’s desire and join us.

Here are the few details I will present you with….

This is a psycho-spiritual program. We work with myth, story telling, shadow, dreamwork, visiting the subconscious, and unconscious, as well as journeying as an access point to the shamanic realms.

We will meet bi-monthly on Saturday’s at 2:00 pm est. for eight weeks beginning on May 11th for transmission, teaching, and shamanic work.

We will have mid-module deepening calls so people in different time zones are able to participate in Group Coaching, Q&A, and integration.

The Journey will be Transformational, and Shamanic in Nature.

Underworld will be held in a gorgeous Container on Mighty Networks, that hosts a vibrant, lively, soul centered sisterhood, alongside all of the course material.

We loved hosting our last round of SkyDancer on Mighty Networks.

It truly offers the “Etheric Temple Experience” for all participants.

The way it’s laid out encourages community sharing, while leaving all of the course materials, events, zoom information, etc. right at your fingertips.
