Ritualist & Priestess
​
I am a Grove-trained Priestess. I hold initiations in the Sibylline and Lycian wiccan traditions, I have taught at Reclaiming Witchcamps, and I am a practicing buddhist, but the leadership philosophy of Diana's Grove Mystery School is my formation and my foundation.
​
Leadership is the art of being fully present and effective for the intention of serving a group.. Leadership commitment begins with the intention to learn about yourself for the purpose of serving a larger goal.
​
In our community, Priestess is not a gender-specific word... We use this word to describe the work that we do rather than what we are... Life is the sacred rite that a Priestess is called to officiate. Life, growth, personal interaction, communication, all of the intricate exchanges that are required in the journey of becoming. Living, working and creating together - these provide the focus of our Priestess Training.
