Initiation into the Badassery of Midlife:
See if you can name all of the badasses in this image.
The
Empress
The Empress is a leader and a healer. Deeply connected to nature, the Empress archetype embodies abundance, authority, and generativity. Yet in our real world, she also dominates over ego to protect the greater good.
It is time for all women who are called to step into our power, to use our voices, and f-ing make it happen. The world is on fire. If we humans are going to survive, we need a massive infusion of feminine wisdom to dismantle tyranny and injustice and replace it with systems that support healing, justice, and sustainability.
In this eight-week virtual workshop, TED Courses facilitator, LifeCycle celebrant, and ritual designer Betty Ray will lead you through the process of creating your own personalized rite of passage using her Resilience Through Ritual model to help you connect to and embody your inner heartful badass Empress. The workshop will culminate in the creation and enactment of your own rite of passage, and will close with a group ritual in which we will integrate the experience as witnesses for each other.
This is a workshop for humans of all genders who want to integrate and embody feminine leadership for the complicated challenges of our times.
"The Empress: A Rite of Passage for Heartful Badasses was truly a portal into self-exploration, transformation and self-love. Moments, memories and learnings from the course reverberate for me in daily life months later.
Betty Ray, and the class structure she designed, invited openness and vulnerability among our lovely group and I felt held by her and seen by the group as I worked through the process."
