ALisa is an exquisite role model and guide for a person to learn how to craft a life infused with beauty, love and spirit. She is a consummate cheerleader in supporting women to access their core selves and commit to living a life fully by manifesting their true potential. For most of us this requires much courage to break out of the encrusted patterns that have held us captive to perceiving ourselves an our lives in a limited way. I am reminded of Nelson Mandela inaugural speech, when he spoke about our deepest fear was not about our inadequacy, but rather our power, how playing small did not serve the world, and reminding us we were born to manifest the glory of God within. To enter the priestess apprenticeship is to enter something extraordinary. For me, it was a descent into the depth of my soul where the wholeness of spirit resides, it was a dance with my shadow, a reclaiming of what had been denied, embracing both light and dark aspects of myself. I felt encouraged, supported and empowered to put to death that which must die in order to support life and manifest the gifts I carry within. Yet all this occurred within a container of profound love and grace. I have never felt as much nurturing affection in my life as I did living in community with my priestess sisters. Each woman reflected the exquisite beauty of the divine feminine so completely that it was impossible for me to not also feel and stand fully in my own unique beauty. An incredible and rare gift. ALisa is able to spin a container so rich and whole, safe and trustworthy that it is capable of holding the brightness of our true selves, so instead of squinting and shying away, you are enticed into standing tall and dancing with all the glory spirit can bestow. |

You do not have to be strong to do this work. You have full permission to feel you are too small, unworthy, incapable. I still call you. I still beg you to bring yourself here and trust. The women you will meet will help you find Home. Being priestess is just who we are; simple. There is so much undeniable love waiting for you here. |

My life will never be the same and I couldn’t be happier. I have broken through paralyzing fear and barriers. I was afraid to fly and now I can’t stop myself. I am free! What a feeling! ShadowWork completely transformed my life. I broke through and released a huge barrier/obstacle. There is more joy and light in my life than I ever dreamed possible. The possibilities are endless. |

ALisa has been gifted with the ability to create a web of magic among a group of women. Magic so powerful that our lives are transformed for the better, whether together or apart. This is a safe container for personal work. |

This is a sacred covenant that you are entering with your self. This is your emergence as a avatar of the Goddess. You are not alone. You are not crazy. You are powerful. You can do it. By growing inside the apprenticeship with your sisters, you allow the real you to bloom forth. Bloom. Be the butterfly you have wanted to be. Or the eagle. Or the bear. Or the great she-dragon. New ideas will come to you. Unexpected opportunities arise. You will let go of things that you thought you couldn’t or wouldn’t. Make the space and more will come to you as a result. You will find your currency changing from brass to gold. For me, the Priestess Path has been both an intense rebirthing process and a sweet pool from which to drink and be replenished. And I have something that I wanted for years; a network of women who are doing healing, spiritual work. Yes and even more important, a community of women who are pursuing their dreams with the ancient force we hold in our blood. |

I have never met an incarnate quite like ALisa. What makes her amazing is that she is so human, and she shows us all of herself. She is fierce, get-down-dirty, she’s wild. She brings magic alive for us. She calls upon your deep self to be present. She takes you to that hidden place where your secret hopes and fears are kept, and when you finally reach it and voice your truth after years, perhaps lifetimes of holding back, she takes you further. She is not afraid to really go there with you. Few facilitators are able to achieve the depth and soul of the magic she works. Even fewer are able to keep people feeling safe, grounded, and protected- held in compassion at the same time. She is just so alive! One of the few people I have met who really lives: like her hair is on fire! |

This is the best gift that I have EVER given to myself. It has truly changed me and my life. I walk more freely. ALisa makes manifest the Goddess in all the women she touches. The apprenticeship has healed and transformed me on levels deeper than I expected. ALisa’s work in the world for the healing of women needs to be deeply appreciated and recognized. The Priestess Path embodies ancient wisdom from long ago, brings one back to the realization of Woman as great healers in the world. Embracing this path is embracing you. |

This woman gives her full presence to each of us. Her prayers, words and songs are unrestrained. Are you ready to be fully alive is what this means. If you want to push past artificial limits and release your spirit to soar this is for you. Alisa is instinctual and she always seems to know just what to do with our pain. She is a true facilitator and I trust her completely. She does not run this with her ego. |

This priestess path experience has been a vessel which has nurtured me, caressed me, toughened me, opened me over and over and over to the point where I have no other option but to believe. To believe in this wisdom, knowing and strength within. ALisa’s leadership style invites truth from way down deep. I doubt no more the knowing that is in my belly and to walk the rest of my life with this knowing that I know is a blessing. |

My life as I knew it before The Priestess Path does not exist for me any longer. I encourage all women to walk this path. The gift you will receive is the gift of reuniting with your soul. You will no longer be content to live an ordinary life when the extraordinary awaits you. |

This is an initiation that is fierce and gentle at the same time. This is a place where miracles happen and are lived. When ALisa asks for commitment she means business, because our work is needed for this planet. She is devoted to cracking seeds. She is woman with vision and a tremendous amount of compassion and commitment to see women live their gifts. |

Do you dare to know love and trust so deeply that you will be healed to your very cells? The Goddess is calling her daughters back to her. Will you put your feet on the path and look deep into the soul of your ancient mother and know you are home? Find your Priestess; proud, powerful, ready. |

I entered the Priestess Path angry and afraid. Now, with ALisa’s guidance and the love of my sisters, I can walk in power. I can say, "I am afraid!", and yet not hold back. |

How does one come to feel what it is to truly touch the wellsprings of what all spiritual traditions offer? Come sister. Sit with firewalkers, spirit dancers, healers, mothers, lovers, wisdom keepers, stones, earth and animals, and unfold the layers that you have been weaving around your essence. Priestess path calls you. |

The apprenticeship gave me powerful moments of self reflection, pushed me to the edge, helped me to live my life more fully- but most of all it helped me to trust, speak and sing from my heart. Each Weekend brought me face to face with my strength and my fears and filled me with courage, unfathomable love and faith. I loved the time I spent experiencing the divine feminine, worshipping our divine Mother Earth- from our temple to the womb, the magic moved my soul deeply to another level. |

Dare to see your own beauty embodied, and the magnificence of being a woman. The Priestess Path Apprenticeship was sacred, fun, empowering, magical, difficult, and deeply satisfying. I looked forward to every weekend (despite the seven hour commute). It has been my highlight of the past 9 months and I eagerly look forward to the second year. |

The apprenticeship weekends put me back in touch with inner power, self love, and courage. My life outside of the apprenticeship quickly became full and balanced. My energy zapping depression waned. After years of fear I moved into a place which, among many other things, allowed me to conceive my daughter. From the apprenticeship I take tools for healing self and planet; as well as a life long community of truly great women. |

The Mother herself has come to me. I now that my soul wanted to be here. I can call her face back to me, and hear her tell me I was desired. Once these things were not so. Now I know that I am the Universe. And we are expanding. Infinitely. You. Me. In love. Expanding. Infinitely. Walk the path with me. |

The circle of women who are my sisters in the Priestess Path have all been there to midwife me in my own birth. They have given me what I most need to take the joyous and fearsome risk of being fully present as the Priestess in my own life: the understanding that I am, that each and every one of us is a precious and sacred gift of creation just as she is. |

Words can not describe the magic of our odyssey. I am writing this as a woman in my power, becoming even fuller with so much love in my heart for what we have witnessed/experienced and for this path. Healing and gifting deep in myself and the heart of the earth. We are re-weaving the web. We are priestesses. |

I cannot recommend this course enough. The Priestess Path Apprenticeship has given me a system of feminine support and empowerment unlike any other experience. My life is changed, there is no doubt, from this experience. It is changed in my deepened camaraderie with women. It is changed in my expanded perception of who I am, and what I have to offer in a group. This apprenticeship has expanded my awareness to the needs of the community, and, it’s responsibility to give back to the Earth. |

Join a teacher who will facilitate your emergence of intuition, inner power, life force, and understanding of your hidden mysteries and those of ancient design. Yes, it's scary, but we have been through it and we will support you. Be brave, look inside your heart, trust. Your can call me if you have any questions. |

What is "priestess?" Does the power exist within me to bring to life this archetype in my world? Will there be space in the Apprenticeship for all that is me? Am I capable of summoning the conviction, strength and courage to fully commit to this journey, willingly giving myself over to the mystery of what lies ahead? Questions. So many questions. And while the answers may presently remain as elusive as the new moon in the darkness of the night sky, I lovingly urge you to trust in the concealed presence of the sun, for a new dawn is rising and the promise of rebirth beckons. Become one in our sacred circle. Connect with the totality of your being among the safety and comfort of a sisterhood rooted in consciousness. Begin to bring your life to manifest form in ways that express the energy, substance and wisdom of the Divine within. Empower yourself. Dare to dream. Answer the call. Discover the depths of your capacity to create and express love, compassion, forgiveness, generosity and understanding to a world in desperate need of peace. Let hope embrace you as you surrender to the knowing that Yes, you can walk this path! You are worthy of all the magic and beauty that awaits you. I am a priestess, I am the Goddess and I am home! |

Priestess Path has been a magical, sacred journey. It is an opportunity to get to know myself more deeply and to connect with other women on so many different levels. Through ALisa’s gifted facilitation and intuitive wisdom, I have come more fully into my power and I have had the honor of witnessing and supporting my sisters on their paths. I carry the experiences and lessons of the apprenticeship into every encounter I have in the world. I have deep gratitude and appreciation for all that this has been. |

To simply say that it was the most amazing nine months of my life is both complete and nowhere near it much like the paradoxes of the space and mysteries we learn to travel in. I was drawn here with only a vague knowing that this was where I needed to be. The goddess was calling me home and told me to come beyond all my reasons and in many ways I didn’t know why. I was at a time in my life that I was waking up from not a deep sleep but a self-induced coma or pre-mature burial. The images that always filled my mind’s eye were gone and the sense that spirit was speaking to me through them and urging me to share her vision through me with the world was gone. I was called but resigned in many ways. What I found was my way back to myself… cleaner, clearer, purer, stronger than I have ever been before. My visions are back. The apprenticeship creates an environment to learn, stretch, bend, grow, dive into the mysteries of ourselves and life itself. I am in love with every one of my sisters, myself and the world as I never was before. With ALisa’s vision to empower the women, she is empowering the world. If you feel called, step up, step in. You will not recognize the you that you become and she will be the woman you have always known you were and could be. |

Coming to PP each month has been an opportunity for me to come home to my deepest self. I am moved, touched, overjoyed and opened by this experience. I have learned that sharing myself and my path inside a lighter and lighter heart with a circle of beloved women who share my commitment allow a brightness to shine through that I have never known before. I have been deeply inspired by women I otherwise never would have had the honor to glimpse their magic. PP is truly a gift to any woman who is longing to find her most authentic expression and share it with the world. Please women, do us all a favor and shine your light. I can think of no greater guide to spark and help tend the fire, passion, wild and wise woman that is you. |

What is it to live fully? I knew that before PP that I was not in life fully. I was not present in much of my life. I felt a distance and coldness in my heart that I did not know how to warm. Priestess Path has stirred, warmed and opened me. My heart is not so cold and distant anymore. I want to hear what people are saying to me. I want to look in their eyes when they speak to me. I am present with the life around me. I am aware of how I have held myself back and put the walls up around my heart. PP has cracked open my shell, dissolved the veneer. I don’t want to hide anymore. I want to be seen and heard and acknowledged. I am all of those things with my PP sisters. This is a gift to yourself, the planet and the world. Please gift yourself and all of us with the fullness and power of all that is you. Come step into yourself. Life is to be lived. |

My own words seem inadequate to describe- any words are inadequate for ALisa and Priestess Path. The journey eludes linear thought and manifests in mists, in the fire and on the earth. It rains down through consciousness from the Goddess. It permeates our life dissipating/ displacing the pain, the fear, the shame, filling in the wounds like dirt in a hole. Cleaning our guts and hearts and heads. Healing and loving, vast and deep, true and pure and right. Bolting our souls to our sisters’, defying history and gravity. Transcending time and space to solidify each into her power, strength and courage. Come sisters- embrace the path and find your way home. Love and Grace. |

This apprenticeship has been a dream come true. For how many centuries and lifetimes have I been praying for the return of women holding each other in ritual and working their magic for personal and world healing? This year proved to me that we are waking up. We are back. Women are once again coming into their full power as teachers, healers, and leaders. YEAH! ALisa brings her loving fierceness, delightful creativity, and deep wisdom to create a strong supple container for this work. She and the guest teachers she brings to us are amazing role models of women in power in the world. I am so very grateful for the opportunity to experience Priestess Path.

Priestess Path has been a very personal mythic journey for me. I feel like ten months ago I was in an entirely different landscape then I find myself in this moment. My voice was edged with anger and my hear felt utterly cloaked in a black veil of shame. I’d lost my connection to my Creator, my Mother, and my life seemed to have no purpose. I was disconnected so painfully from myself, my spirit, my community. I had heavy burdens of guilt from past mistakes that I carried into the first night of Priestess Path. But I was also hopeful. I was thrilled to the bone about the magical mystery I was about to enter. I have walked through tremendous fears. I have release shameful feelings that I truly believed would follow me to my grave. My inner golden self has broken through and I have found my voice. I am deeply inspired and have been catapulted into the role of priestess in my community and family. If feel like I am carved, molded and had life breathed into me by this path, the Goddess, by sisters, by ALisa. I am and always will be in awe of the complete and miraculous intuitive brilliance of ALisa. I have been transformed on deep cellular levels. I feel beautiful and free. Please honor yourself. Walk your own true, amazing, honest path. Magic is real. It is in you and all around you. This is where to come and see, feel and learn about magic, ritual, ceremony, abundance and joy! |

PP is a journey that is unique to everyone. If it calls you, trust it. It is the universe’s way of guiding you to discover the gifts that are inside of you. There is no one answer to what happens on this journey. It is an unfolding of your soul, a greater consciousness of your place here, a powerful reminder of our place as women in the evolution of the world. Each weekend will challenge you in different ways. When it is done you will know your place in this world like no other experience could ever give you, and your power will be restored in a way that it can never be destroyed. All sisters need to walk the path and remember ourselves as the loving, compassionate, courageous, powerful, creative, sensual, joyful, brilliant and divine spirits that we are! |

No matter how hard I tried to fight it, Priestess Path brought me closer to myself and to my power. And believe me, I fought hard. Yes, that hard. As hard as you think you will resist, that is how much you have to gain when you let it in. There is celebration on the other side! Today, the last day of PP, I experienced some of the greatest terror of my life, and I also gained the greatest understanding of my self. ALisa was right there with me as I screamed NO to all the shoulds and have tos and do it nows that began from the moment my mother started labor. What a gift. I have a new birth and a new life. What a path to walk! The tears, rage, love, courage, terror, and more love, all held by spirit and by a circle of tremendous women. |

I have never trusted anything like this before. PP is real powerful ritual. I could not have dreamed this. I could not have imagined any course more perfectly designed for me, the me that thought I believed in magic, but really didn’t. NOW I DO because of you. I have always been bold and colorful- now I do it with self-love instead of fear and shame. I grew into the huge loving person that I am. I speak loudly even though my voice shakes. I live in love with my body, my past, and future and full hope for humanity for I have seen humans, women, go into their deepest, darkest selves and find that there is power in being vulnerable. And we are still loveable when we have snot dripping down our chin AND we are still loveable when we are shining in our glory. In PP we learn not to fear each other and instead rise up together. |

Priestess Path is like a great adventure that goes deep into your own soul. There is an incredible environment created that transcends space and time, held us in absolute trust, that allows you to touch, know and feel who you really are and to rediscover your priestess self. ALisa is a woman of power whose work is all about bringing other women to their own power. She can push, provoke and hold gently with enormous skill. The path has given me a YES to myself, my worth and my work in the world. In the constant flow of change we are given the tools to heal ourselves and others, the way to be authentic, the support of sisterhood, the reminder that we have the courage to live fully. I remained in awe of what happened each weekend. |

I came to Priestess Path to remember and be retaught the ancient ways. I came seeking support and deepening for that which I privately remembered, to gather courage to show this part of myself publicly. I came hoping to reclaim a public priestess voice. Today I feel that I have learned more than I could digest both here and in the private quest to reclaim my body, my voice and my embodied sexuality. Deepest respect. |

Sisters! This work has answered what I could sense but not see. In a desperate attempt for answers I found questions and mystery. So strong the mystery consumed me. Through each weekend and re-entry, layers lifted, places within vibrated, were illuminated and became light. With this web of women as harness, I sank into depths of fear both hidden and known. I kept looking for the Goddess and found her, eternally living in the mirror. The same cleverness about my pain is now applied to my power. The energy spun and raised in this apprenticeship is weaving together light and dark, striking balance and creating a harmonious song of life, death and rebirth. |

I am transformed in this true circle of sisters. An old knowing has reawakened inside of me. My magic and power have returned from hiding. I remember my true self. I feel trust and deep faith that eluded me for years. ALisa is a gem and a prayer for a teacher of woman’s knowing of woman’s ways. I begin again my life, fresh, clear and forever changed. |

Priestess Path is a journey for me into my own wisdom, through my own resistances and limitations, to my own destiny as a powerful woman who can serve the world. ALisa is more than an amazing guide on the path. She lays down her full talents, her life-force, and heart to BE our path. If you are called, listen. It will undoubtedly be the greatest gift that you have ever given yourself and this world. |

For me PP has been a transformation of my deepest core self. ALisa allowed me the space for all that I needed to heal. The gifts and wisdom that she so selflessly has given to me are what kept me breathing. The magic, the mystery, the courage and love were all pieces that I had been searching for my entire life. In nine amazing months ALisa touched and graced all those aspects and more. Scared, scarred and alone I came to her. Courageous, beautiful and Priestess woman is how I leave her. |

Priestess Path has been a jumping into deep abyss for me. I have experienced myself at the height of my power as a woman and come face to face with my darkest shadows and learned to forgive and accept and embrace them with all my heart. I am now filled with a greater sense of mystery and wonder. I walk confidently through my daily life. I am deeply touched and moved by ALisa’s amazing abilities to lead women into the discovery of their deepest truths and highest selves. I am eternally grateful for this experience and encourage all women seeking to move into their power to step onto this path. You will be shaken, lifted, empowered and graced. Your life will never be the same again. |

This is the best present a woman could give to herself. A gift, a dream, a subterranean plunge into your subconscious worlds that you didn’t even know existed. To give this to yourself is to honor your self fully. If you are craving serious women time, juicy, sacred, honest, deep and supportive circle, this is it. There were times walking through Priestess Path where I absolutely didn’t feel as if this were real. I could only have dreamed something more magical. She takes your dreams and hers and brings them to life. You get to feel that you can do anything. My friends have noticed such a shift in me and that is always one of the best ways to tell how something is affecting you and ultimately the world. I am more grounded, confidant, more comfortable with women, with holding and creating holy space, with honoring my process and myself. You will push through what you thought you were capable of and you will be so grateful that you did. It’s the real deal. ALisa gives of herself in such an incredibly generous and tireless way. It would be hard to find someone that cares more for your growth than her (ok, your mother but that’s different). I have witnessed her absolutely give everything and more of herself to women. It’s totally fun. I couldn’t imagine my life now not having gone through this experience. |

I have traveled around the world looking for teachers, sat in great councils, and experienced many things. This opportunity has been without question the most TRANSFORMATIONAL personal work I have yet experienced. Our journey has been the epicenter of my growth this year. I feel resurrected. I came to the Path wounded, in physical pain, and depression. The safety you provided, and the witnessing of my sisters helped me remember that..... I am the Priestess, the Goddess, I am welcomed into this world and that I am of great value. I learned through the container that you provided a way to look at myself from many sides. You provided a way like no other an opportunity to learn about myself, my sisters and all women. You helped save my life ALisa. Your courage and determination has given me great strength. I have been a Priestess for many lifetimes, feeling her presence, and knowing her ways. But not until now have I REMEMBERED her, felt her inside and mirrored on the outside, in the beauty and transformation of all the women. A great change has occurred within me. I believe all women should have this Sacred Opportunity, to know themselves and experience The Great Mysteries hidden from them for so long. Women, the Goddess is arising within us, we can join hands and move the world into that empty space long ago created by our absence. The power to recreate is within each of us. ALisa has shown us the way. I have seen miracles occurring here for all the women. The miracle of LOVE and FAITH......... As a teacher, minister, and therapist, I am forever grateful for this blessing, and I will carry the knowledge to all women. |

ALisa, you amaze me over and over again, high priestess, magic maker, wild womyn, keeper of the mysteries. On the first night with ALisa we were asked to state our intent for the apprenticeship. Wracked by nerves, I stood up in a circle of women, none of which I knew and asked to "stand in my wisdom, my strength as a daughter of the goddess." I really had no clue what the apprenticeship would be like, had never been part of a womyn’s circle and never met ALisa before that first night, but something in my belly told me that the apprenticeship would hold this intent for me. Little did I know then what the apprenticeship would come to mean for me… These last 9 months have been an amazing process of remembering myself, remembering my past self and finding the courage to be who I truly want to be in the world- a womyn of amazing power, wisdom, clarity and love. |

Priestess Path is the most important place I have been in my life thus far. It is home to my spirit. It is freedom with wings for all women who want to step into their power, into their love, into their joy, wonder and magic. This is a place to be held, honored as the woman you are. I have been held by my precious sisters, been challenged, come up against myself, my demons, and I have thrived, and blossomed and learned to love myself. These weekends have accumulated one on top of the next as the greatest experiences of my life. Each gathering is a gathering of greater beauty, breadth, magic, wholeness, and expansion. I love my life and Priestess Path is a big reason why. I thank myself for saying YES. |

This year has been the most amazing year of my entire life due to Priestess Path. I am fully present, empowered with a sense of my own worth as a very real, inner knowingness. I am forever held up by a circle of women who have bathed my wounded spirit in the tears of their love for each other. This is REAL. It is not a course, not a singular experience, not job training. Priestess Path is the path of the initiate who has been waiting to come into her power again. If you are drawn to it, have a desire, are afraid but so curious that continue to wonder, then know that this IS your path, and that you have come HOME. ALisa is a magnificent being who has dedicated her life to magic, to healing, to empowering women, and the sweet mix of her mastery, love, and patience have forever changed my life. I have never before witnessed anyone so patient, so devoted to women’s healing. I have seen women who have been so wounded, so diminished, that it hurt to look. When the walking wounded show up, ALisa stands her ground, regardless of the mess, the pain, the weakness, the rage, the stench. To watch her work is to commune with the Goddess. She not only gets her hands dirty, but puts her heart right out on the front line every single time. ALisa is a force to be reckoned with who will love you right out of your pain, dare you be exactly who you are, and stand in the fire with you if that is what it takes. |
