Green Goddess Apprentice Week
For women aged 14 - 84
August 18 - August 24, 2008
Class size limited
A one-week apprenticeship for aspiring shamanic herbalists who want to learn from and play with the Green Goddess. And for past apprentices to share their wisdom and knowledge.
This
is a serious apprenticeship, not a workshop. Not only is the pace
is powerful and relentless, but we will be encountering and processing
deep emotions as a result of our shamanic work together (also read,
"Why is Susun Angry?"). There
are at least eight hours of instruction a day, plus projects and assignments
to complete on your own outside of class time, plus special events
throughout the week. We take your commitment to participate in this
event very seriously and hope that you do too. Therefore, there are
no refunds of any kind, for any reason. We look forward to your visit.
"I learned more from spending one day with Susun than I have in months of study with others."
During your week-long Green Goddess Apprenticeship you will:
* Have an individual tarot reading done by Susun
* Learn how to identify plants
* Learn how to use common plants for food and medicine
* Take part in daily talking stick ceremonies
* Learn about plant families and botany
* Make one or more herbal remedies to take home
* Attend a one and a half hour yoga class
* Participate in a moon lodge gathering
* Create a Goddess archetype presentation
* Go for plant walks in the woods with Susun and the goats
* Connect deeply with your own green ally
* Process intense emotions such as grief, rage, ecstacy, and intimacy
* Enjoy an optional initiation as a Green Witch
Schedule
Your Green Goddess Apprentice week begins at noon on Monday and ends about 4pm on Sunday. If you need to arrive early or stay later, the fee is $75 per night for lodging and meals.
Our days begin with Magical Passes with Anya (8:30am- 9:30), breakfast (9:30am- 10am), followed by class (10am - 1pm), then lunch and talking stick (1:30 - 3:30), afternoon class (3:30 - 6pm), dinner (6:30 - 8pm), and a variety of evening classes and entertainments (8pm - 10pm): tarot readings and fireside chanting circle (Mon), herbal consultations (Tues), yoga class (Wed), all-night heart-beat drum(Thurs), moon lodge (Fri), Goddess pageant (Sat), and surprises. We will conclude our time together on Sunday with a lavish high magic ceremony —where you may be initiated as a Green Witch if you wish—followed by a late lunch and a final talking stick.
