Priestess / Priest Training Program

Does Aphrodite call to you?

Do Her love, Her joy, and Her mythos speak to you on a soul-deep level?

Do you feel drawn to Her service?

Do you wish to celebrate and honor Her privately and publicly?

Are you inspired to share Aphrodite with the world?

Do you desire to help others connect with Her and dive deeper into their own spiritualities?

If these questions resonate with you, you may feel called to the priestess / priest path. Even if you aren’t yet sure about whether you want to take an official vow or become dedicated clergy, this Priestess / Priest Training course will help you to dive deeper into your spirituality than ever before, to develop your spiritual and magickal skills, to craft profoundly meaningful rituals for yourselves and others, to nurture committed Divine relationships, to foster your own healing with love and compassion, and to design a spiritual practice that fits your life.

The Training Program is divided into eight different Paths, each with a theme relevant to Aphrodite’s mythos and spheres of influence. Within each Path, there are different modules containing lessons, journal questions, affirmations, exercises, resources, and more for you to explore each area in depth and in a way that is relevant for you.

Since each person comes to this calling with a different background and level of experience, the amount of time spent in each module will vary, and I will work with you to determine the appropriate pacing of each Path based on your background and your needs. There is serious internal and external work to be done when embarking upon this path, so some modules may take longer than others and be more emotionally intense. The course was designed to be completed in no less than the traditional year-and-a-day worth of study, but that is the minimum – In work with previous trainees, I have found that it usually takes longer for us to completely cover the modules and give these topics the attention they deserve.

The eight Paths of the training are as follows:

The Path of Devotion – Personal Spiritual Practice
The Path of the Sea – Emotion Processing and Transformation
The Path of Beauty – Self-Compassion and Creativity
The Path of the Rose – Romance and Sacred Sensuality
The Path of Wrath – Personal Sovereignty and Justice
The Path of the Star – Joy and Pleasure
The Path of the Dove – Care and Relationships
The Path of the Temple – Community and Leadership

In your own personal spirituality and service to Aphrodite, you may focus more heavily on some paths than others, and that’s okay! This Training is designed to give you a well-rounded knowledge and skill base for whatever form your future spiritual work will take.

I hope that reading this has sparked curiosity, enthusiasm, and excitement for what shape your path may take and what lies ahead for you!

Dedicating yourself to a Deity is no small task – It requires deeply knowing yourself, having a profound connection to the Divine, and having the skills to connect with others and facilitate spiritual experiences and growth. This path asks a lot of you, but it also gives you and the world so much more in return. It is a mantle that carries reverence and mirth, responsibility and joy, and internal and external work on so many levels.

I am here to help support you as you navigate a path that is uniquely your own as you develop the knowledge and skills required of this level of service. And as I said before, you don’t have to know right now if you want to take an oath to Aphrodite – This Training can help you explore all the different possibilities around spirituality and be just as meaningful in forming your personal path.

As this Training is tailored to each individual, there is no single set cost for the entire course. This Training is offered at my usual sliding scale rates for One-on-One sessions ($45-$65 USD per hour or $67-$87 USD per hour and a half). Some trainees opt for a 90-minute session to more deeply dive into the topics at hand. The recommended meeting schedule is one session per week, but please don’t hesitate to reach out if there is another timetable that works better for you.
