Jesus and The Goddess, Reckoning Christianity & the Divine Feminine. This course is an initiation into the Goddess mysteries for women who are curious about re-claiming our spiritual roots in integrity with the divine feminine face of God. In history, Goddess culture has often been cast outside of Christian orthodoxy and put in the category of heretical, demonic, and pagan. Whether we identify with Christianity or not, it’s long history and influence has shaped much of the western world. And we have this dark history of witch burnings and women banned from the offices of the priesthood. This course will reckon with historical challenges and spark new pathways for our spiritual thriving. We will explore the sacredness of the feminine essence of God within the biblical texts, revisit Jesus' teachings, meet Mary again, hear personal stories, and explore ancient histories with fresh eyes. Our gatherings will include centering meditations, embodied breathwork, and offer support in creating a personal connection to the divine mother within us all. Each purchase Taraloma Mystery School course includes a personal one on one session with me, which can be done remotely: you choose an oracle reading, energy healing, yoga lesson, or astrology chart reading.

Jesus & The Goddess

Check out the first 30 min:

jesus & the Goddess, Reckoning christianity & the divine feminine

A six class series, over 7 hours of divine feminine mystery teachings, meditations, biblical exploration, ancient wisdom, oracle traditions, women’s empowerment & Goddess myths.

Why do we need a divine feminine face of God?

Consider this: our current global economy creates a climate where being born a girl costs a family more money in projected loss of income and dowry expenses. Every year we lose 2 million baby girls to sex-selective abortion and infanticide. That’s 4 girls a minute. It is estimated that 117 million women are missing due to gendercide. That’s as many deaths as WWI, WWII and AIDS combined. In China 66 million women are missing; that’s 10.3% of their female population. As populations age, male preferred communities are experiencing more frustration as young men lack available women with whom they can share their love and their lives. These skewed populations historically find outlets for their unrest in violence and war.

UN World Health Organization revealed that nearly 35% of women across the globe have experienced physical and/or sexual violence. According to the Deputy Executive Director of UN Women, Lakshmi Puri, “The major causes of violence are the extremely unjust and flawed beliefs that men and women, boys and girls are not equal. And from that the whole culture of discrimination develops and violence is a symptom of that discrimination.”

This Goddess stuff is not obscure and unrelated to our present global challenges. As many mystics have discovered, the secret to balance on earth is rediscovering a relationship with the Divine Father AND the Divine Mother. As my teacher, Swami Kaleshwar taught: the father is in the mother, and the mother is in the father. This holds all of creation in sacred unity: the chalice and the blade, the star of David, sacred opposites in the tree of life.

CLASS ONE: A God Who Looks Like Me, Psychological implications when the divine is only male, recovery of our sacred feminine selves

CLASS TWO: Alternative Her-Stories, Remembering the ancient priestesses & oracles, exploring “Christian” taboos of feminine power

CLASS THREE: The Fall & Restoration of Sophia, Archangels, Archons & reclaiming our spiritual sight

CLASS FOUR: Meeting Jesus Again, Gospel stories & Jesus’ relationship with women

CLASS FIVE: Meeting Mary Again, The Gospel of Mary & other traditions of Mother Divine

CLASS SIX: Inanna & Ereshkigal, An initiation: becoming the queen of our underworld, becoming the resurrected woman

Here’s what class participants have shared about the course:

“I’m loving your teaching!”

“What a professional presentation! You really have the gift of teaching/speaking”

”I’m glad I can replay it because I’m going to watch it again.”

”I plan on listening again!”

musings on Carl Jung

In this 40 min talk I share some of the most basic and personally influential ideas of Carl Jung on my life and psychological journey. I often refer back to them as a foundation for the work of becoming an individuated self in a world that seems to be going through a great psychological transformation.

In this Taraloma Mystery School class I share:

• Jung’s divergence from Freud

• The work of individuation & becoming a conscious self

• The importance of developing a meaningful link between the self and a higher power as a mode of healing distinctive to Jungian theory and not found in modern allopathic medicine

• The value of the ego

• Shadow work and how to begin

• Synchronicity as a key to the unfolding path of the soul

• Jung’s critique of both science and religion

• How to begin interpreting dreams according to Jungian theory

• Bonus Natal Chart Reading of Carl Jung

My hope is that this mystery school course will support you as you increase your time in meditation, and help heal our personal and collective relationships to the sacred five elements.

This course includes the replay videos from Sunday morning gatherings during my first course. In these I offer a deeper discussion on the elements, and I will share other meditations and mantras. You may like to have a notebook handy for these if you would like to study deeper.

You can go at your own pace, or take one week’s lesson at a time:

WEEK FOUR: Spirit Fly

—108 Sung Water + Sky Mantra

Meditation through connecting with the five sacred elements helps heal our connection to love in all creation, expressing itself through these forms which make up our universe— and our bodies. Swami often referred to Jesus as the “Big Boss” and he shares these once secret mantras as a formula for how the saints were able to do miracles, that we too can do miracles and become powerful healers for ourselves and the world. That’s why I am calling this Meditation, like a boss.

She is a student of Swami Sri Kaleshwar & is practicing the Holy Womb Mantra, the Five Element Mantras, and she loves to sing.

about me:
yogini oracle priestess guide

I’ve been teaching yoga for the past seven years (a student for 19 years), enjoying the bhakti path of singing mantras, and studying the Holy Womb purification practice with Swami Sri Kaleshwar. I see clients through my spiritual business Taraloma Earth Temple where I offer private yoga instruction, energy healings, and intuitive readings. I also speak and sing around town on occasion. I have birthed three kids, bonus mom, mom of cats and guinea pigs, and wife to a computer whiz.

I’ve authored three books through Taraloma Earth Temple Publications: Detoxing God is a memoir where I work through being raised in a conservative Christian military family, and how rediscovering the Goddess helped me through childhood trauma. My most recent book, The Circle of the Fall, Scenes from a Cosmic Tale, is a Greek styled imaginary adventure through time. And Paper Cranes is my first book of poetry.

I worked in The Episcopal Church of Chicago for ten years as a Youth Minister and Family Ministries Associate and taught creative confirmation classes, led sexual abuse prevention programs, and guided teenagers across the country on summer service work trips. I’m certified as a Dove Oracle Priestess with intuitive training, a level III Reiki practitioner, and 230 hour yoga certified. I am a graduate of St. Olaf College where I studied religion and majored in psychology and graduated cum lade. I’m also a graduate of Fuller Theological Seminary where I received a Masters of Arts in Theology.

Resurrection, I believe, is an ongoing work to clear, charge and expand the light of our own being. I’m excited to offer on line mystery school learning this year and share what I’ve been taught with others for the benefit of all beings.
