We are asking for full in person attendance in order to dedicate at the end of this second spiral, unless illness or extreme personal circumstances prevent this, in that case one weekend can be missed and caught up under extenuation.! We are so thrilled to be offering this Spiral 2 course as a collaborative effort from the highly experienced, previously formally dedicated and initiated Priestess faculty we have gathered in support of Stroud Goddess Temple. This course and its fees will help to fund the continuation of the physical temple in Stroud town centre as well as supporting the facilitators and upkeep for the sacred sites we visit over the year. We are so excited to be offering 10 very full days of In Person Training with online additional resources.

We will be expanding on the work of Spiral 1 which explored the sacred landscape of the Cotswolds  - Stone, Stream and Sky, as well as connecting with each of the Goddesses of the Wheel of Cuda. There will be academic learning, ceremony, craft, movement, deep ecology and listening / sharing circles, building a community of devotion to the Divine Feminine grounded in our local history and landscape, as well as the seasonal festivals of Brythonic pagan traditions. This deeper Year 2 Spiral with the original learning circle continuing from Spiral 1, where we will work with rites of passage, goddess embodiment, sacred drama and empowered leadership through the Goddesses of the Cotswolds and our connection with nature.

Students are required to participate in, design and deliver seasonal Ceremonies on behalf of Stroud Goddess Temple between the Course delivery dates of Spiral 2.

We will have a support circle group for ongoing connection throughout the course via socials.

This personal development course is also accredited as a professional development training through IPHM, and will lead to acccredited certification through IPHM at completion of Spiral 2 Year as a PriestXess of the Cotswolds.

The training is open to people of all genders, backgrounds and beliefs. We are an inclusive and openly accountable Community Interest Company organisation, particularly committed to decolonising spirituality, working to overcome racism and cultural appropriation, homophobia, transphobia or misogyny, ecocide or exploitation of natural ecology, and other forms of patriarchal harm which have been prevalent over the last 3000 years. It is our hope that through the development of more sustainable culture around Goddess and nature based spiritual practices and community building, that we can heal the harms to Her and the Earth that have occurred through patriarchal oppression and also co-create a brighter, more loving and wholesome future.
