Earth Priestess Training - Alder Cohort Year One

Amelie Summer

This is not like any other priestess training. I train ‘chop wood, carry water’ priestesses who want to make a difference in the world.

This is the third year I am offering this deep dive into becoming a priestess for the earth, to anchor the energy of a protector of the wild places, and so this year we will be the Alder cohort, named for the third of the ogham trees.

Just like the alder tree which energetically forms a bridge between land and water, I'm calling in those who are drawn to the song of the waters, the flow of the rivers, the depth of the sea.   This year's cohort will be the mermaids who swim between the worlds, the water protectors.

We will come together in a coven to do the deep work, to hold space for each other as we learn to open to the wisdom of our own bodies via breathwork, movement and somatic practices, to find our own truth and to step into empowered leadership for the earth.

We honour the Goddess in all her forms through and in nature and learn from the wisdom of the natural world via ritual, honouring of the seasons, nature-based practices and the study of the Celtic ogham.

We practice the skills of creating meaningful ritual, facilitating women’s circles, leading with power from within, not power over, building consensus, guiding meditation and trance journeys.

We work in an embodied way with story, archetypes and myth making. We reclaim our ancient stories and weave new myths that empower and inspire.

And we also study the tools through which we can start to live in true reciprocity with the living earth, the basics of permaculture, social permaculture, rewilding, and conservation medicine.

At Earth Spirals we know that diversity is not a ‘nice to have’, but an essential feature of any flourishing ecosystem. To encourage this, concessionary rates are available for those on low income and/or who are from backgrounds currently under-represented in the goddess community, if you feel this applies to you then please do book a discovery call to discuss how I can help.




Testimonials

The Earth Priestess training is absolutely fantastic

I had such high hopes when I joined, I knew this was what I wanted to do, but it’s exceeded every expectation that I had.

The weaving together of storytelling, of ogham, of ritual, of earth based spirituality, of self-love and compassion, of ecology, of permaculture… It’s such a unique blend and it is done so, so well. I’m absolutely loving it.

I’m so looking forward to my initiation and meeting all my earth priestess sisters in person for the first time very soon, and I’m also looking forward to my second year. I’d absolutely recommend this to everyone

I am loving it. I am enjoying the community. I love its somatic elements and emphasis on the body. I feel safe, and I feel as if Amelie really genuinely welcomes all parts of us. I am most of all loving the integration of all the parts of myself: yoga teacher, tarot reader, novelist, mentor, feminist, mother, grandmother, business-owner.

I have become bolder in telling people about my Goddess practice. I have always looked for a name for myself – witch, Pagan, Wiccan, Magician, Druid, Spiritual Seeker, Hedge witch and none of them fit so Earth Priestess is wonderful.


Come with an open mind. Come if you love learning. Come if you are a feminist, with an interest in our history and spirituality, a love of nature and our earth, and you want to explore more of this. Come for the healing and the Goddess and the learning and stay for the joy!

- Jill

I love the monthly meetings. It’s really something I am looking forward to. I always enjoy meditations and going inwards, connecting with breath, feeling sensations in the body. I am strengthened in living authentically. I feel held. The course is very enriching, inspiring and so worth joining.
