Transform your Life and Embody The Goddess 

This online offering is an in-depth 9 module deep dive into the transformational power of goddess embodiment that you can complete in the comfort of your own home.

This course is accessible but stimulating.

While writing this course, I have utilized my degree in Applied Psychology and Women's Studies and my MSc in Consciousness and Spirituality. I have used the lens of Jungian psychology to discuss my experience concerning the divine feminine's transformative powers.

My background as a professional dancer and gardener and my meditation and yoga practice have facilitated a deeply embodied understanding of the divine feminine. During this course, I will share the essence of what I have learned over the years.

                             

                                This Course Invites A Return To Grace

Many of us carry trauma, fear, abuse, and oppression; the goddess can help relieve suffering and help develop resilience in the face of adversity and help to facilitate joyful feelings. The attitude of mainstream patriarchal culture impedes 

connection with the Goddess, resulting in a humanity that is disconnected from the divine feminine, sensuousness, and the natural world. This course will highlight the protective and revelatory aspects of the divine feminine.

You can invite the Goddess into your life through carefully guided exercises in movement, breathwork, Eastern spiritual practices of mudra, mantra, meditation, and devotional dance.

I have been hosting goddess retreats for over 20 years. I am very grateful to have had thousands of clients.

Length 120 hours

This course is presented via interactive content, including videos, text, audio, and pictures. 

This course is for women, men, and nonbinary people who want to deepen the connection to the divine feminine and find more sanity and beauty in the world. Connecting to the Goddess can help confidence and improve well-being as well as encourage environmental healing.

This course may be helpful for those who want to, or currently run women's groups. You will receive a wide range of resources, rituals, and techniques that can be shared.

What People are saying about Ishtar;

A switch is flipped as I begin to understand and even revel in my female power...... realizing that I have been well and truly inspired. I set off early on my journey home with a wonderful sense of empowerment, new companions, heightened self-awareness, and a stirring inner goddess.

Kindred Spirit 

Ishtar gently and respectfully challenges some of the harmful paradigms and assumptions underlying major religions of the Western world. In her capacities as artist and healer, Ishtar is able to raise our awareness on multiple levels of what we in the modern West have often lost sight of in our own history and ancestral sacred stories--the affirmation that human beings are part of a much larger Self encompassing all of life, Mother Earth, and the cosmos as a whole.

About the goddess workshop -

I felt completely empowered by the positive energy it gave me. It helped me see I had a lot of negative energy that prevented me from fulfilling my potential, and it affected my confidence. I changed my whole attitude for good, and I was able to start changing my career prospects and become a happy, fulfilled person. Thanks a lot, Ishtar!

I loved all the activities, in particular, the sacred art of belly dance with a fire theme; performing our dances with masks around a fire we had all made in such a magical location was amazing...

Debby Dutton - Councillor

An excellent five days of exploring personal mythology and connecting with the natural environment. Brilliant setting, food, and company. The dance, yoga, and Jungian symbolism workshops made this a brilliant way to get away from the tidal forces of modern life.

Module 9: Goddess Integration and Liberation

After each class, you will have the option to do related exercises and answer questions to accelerate your learning and fully integrate each session.
