Soulful Women Certificate

Are you called to play a part in ushering in a new era based on the principles of love, cooperation and peace?

While the world faces many crises, never before as women have we had so many tools, resources and freedoms to wake up and consciously evolve ourselves, and the world around us. We can sense the incredible possibilities that lie ahead, and we believe the time is NOW to empower conscious, powerful and brilliant women like YOU to help midwife this new era and give birth to your soul’s calling.

This is why we’ve created the Soulful Women Certificate Program.

After talking with thousands of women leaders and participants in our programs, we know you want to be grounded in your sacred self WHILE taking practical and definitive actions that make a world a difference. You want to give your greatest gifts, enjoy a sustainable livelihood and be of service to the extreme planetary shifts occurring.

However, while you may sense you have a big contribution to make in the world, you often don’t feel like you have the deepest support, tools and resources to fully embody your role as a leader and trailblazer in the Shift.

In our fractured society, most of us DON’T have the deepest level of support to give birth to our dreams or taught HOW to actually do it, and we end up becoming our own biggest obstacles to success.

Well, we KNOW you are here to make a unique contribution to the planet. And we KNOW you can learn to release old patterns and beliefs that have served as survival mechanisms, so that something greater can be born. And we KNOW you can access the energy of the Midwife within you - to help you move through an initiatory gateway towards a greater than imagined future.

Through our 9-month certification program, we are offering you a deep, transformative journey into your soulful presence and out into spiritual action doing the work you’re called to do in the world.

You Don’t Have to Do it Alone...

This program is one that creates a sacred space in which you are held by a community of other women - as you each become experts in midwifing yourselves and each other into your deeper soul’s calling.

The truth is that we are not designed to give birth alone. So it’s our honor and delight to be with you in this program, so that you can be held, supported, guided and nurtured as you bring new life into being.

Besides, it’s much easier, more potent, more comforting - and much more fun - to have a team of soulful midwives supporting you in your birthing process every step of the way, holding your hand and celebrating your successes, however big or small.

Bridging the Deep Inner Work with the Practical Skills

In this extraordinary program we’re bringing together the wisdom and depth of an ancient mystery school, deep inner work AND practical business skills you need to deeply impact the world and enjoy a fulfilling and prosperous life in all areas - your finances, your health and wellbeing, your relationships, your vocation, and your deepest calling.

Through our own inner and outer transformational work, we’ve become adept at tapping into the enormous powers of the archetypal world to generate positive shifts in our own lives and begin making our greatest impact, helping thousands of women transform their lives. At the same time, we also know the importance of embracing and mastering the amazing technology and business wizardry in our new world to truly affect change.

And that’s why we’re bridging these inner and outer worlds in our 9-month Soulful Women Certificate Program. Our planet and humanity-at-large has never been in such need of skilled, trained and adept soulful women leaders who can birth their own potential and then lead others into their soul’s true calling.

We are calling you to imagine beyond the confines of what you think is possible and stand in the truth of YOUR MAGNIFICENCE. We are calling you to take outrageous and remarkable actions in your life, so you can truly midwife the planetary shifts we face and manifest your greatest visions for your life and our world.

Join us, and we will lift you into your greater than imagined life!

When you join the Soulful Women Certificate Program, you will:

• Become initiated into an ancient-lineage wisdom school. We emphasize stepping into your own mythic story and harnessing the power of 13 Divine Feminine archetypes in your everyday life.

The Diamond Advanced Certificate Program is designed for women who are already successful in their own right, but who know there is something deeper that wants to unfold. You will receive substantial personalized attention, with one-on-one coaching for your soul’s unfolding as well as your work in the world.

Pearl Certificate Program

As someone interested in the Pearl Certificate Program, you have been on a spiritual path, and now you are ready to go much deeper. You know you want to make a big contribution and find meaning, but perhaps you feel disconnected from your true purpose and don’t know what steps to take. You are someone who wants to make a living that is aligned with your core passions, but you are not there yet. You sense you are a leader, but you don’t yet have a lot of experience in leadership positions.

The Pearl Certificate offers a pathway to step into a much bigger possibility for who are and what you are called to do. You will spend nine months deepening your lived experience of the divine feminine and bringing it forward in the world. You will have time and a structure to clarify your creative vision and align it with your passion.

And you’ll do this in a community of amazing women who are ready to “go the distance” with you.

Diamond Advanced Certificate Program

The Diamond Advanced Certificate Program is designed for inspiring women who are already thriving in their own right, but who know there is something deeper that is still waiting to unfold.

You are ripe for our Diamond Advanced Certificate if you are already demonstrating considerable skill and leadership in your life and in your profession. You are bold and willing to move beyond your comfort zone. But you are yearning to reach even deeper into your soul and extend your impact into the world.

In fact, you are yearning for an Initiation that will hold you deeply accountable to show up at this next level of your being, birthing your visions in service to the greater good.

7 Wonders of the Soul: Harnessing the Power of the Chakras with Anodea Judith

Chakras are the sacred centers that carry us on our journey toward greater awareness and aliveness. The word chakra is Sanskrit for wheel or disk and signifies one of seven basic energy centers in the body that correspond to nerve ganglia branching out from the spinal column, as well as states of consciousness, developmental stages of life, archetypal elements, body functions, colors, sounds and much, much more. Together they form a profound formula for wholeness and a template for transformation.

Deepen Your Connection to Our Soulful Women Community!

In our most recent courses many women told us they had felt somewhat alone in this journey of finding and expressing their radiant, soulful, spiritual selves. Over and over, women have shared their yearning to be fully supported by a community of sisters who are practicing together.

So when you join our Soulful Women Community, you are plugging into a global sisterhood of amazing women who are showing up for each other in our depth, in our authenticity, in our vulnerability and in our greatness! We know that when we come together in a sacred sisterhood that everything in our lives is supported -- our inner being, our relationships and our projects in the world.

A recent course participant, Erin Rassmusen, says this about the sisterhood created through our courses:

"The deep sisterhood collective is not just nice to have in my life, but it’s really very necessary to help support me as I take steps forward in doing my "big thing" that I am here to do! As I am moving more out "into the world," I am recognizing that I really need to maintain this strong, deep, core-- this field we have been creating together -- so that I am really supported by and able to source from deep on the inside."

As women, we will connect through time and space across the planet over the phone, as well as have our live gathering time to fully lock-in our experiences. We will weave our intentions and dreams together through our ongoing, private community site. In short, we are making magic together!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a virtual course?
A: It’s a great way to engage live teachings and each other from the comfort of your home! All you need is a phone line (or an equivalent voice service). If there is more than one person in your household taking the course, you will each need your own line. We use MaestroConference to make it just like an in-person event, where you can ask questions, participate in groups, and deepen your exploration of the course themes.

Please note that dialing MaestroConference from your phone is a regular toll call to California, and your telephone service provider will charge you according to your existing long-distance calling plan. You can also use Skype credit/subscription (www.skype.com) or Google Voice (google.com/voice) to dial in to MaestroConference, and you’ll need to use your virtual keypad to enter your PIN and to indicate that you want to ask a question. Other options include calling cards and discount long-distance carriers, and we also have a webcast which is free to use from anywhere in the world.

Q: Can I get benefit from the course if I miss the live classes?
A: Absolutely! You can download the recordings and transcripts of all course sessions from our online media archive, so you never need to worry about missing live calls. You can also engage the full community and leaders on our private community website.

Q: Can you give us more information about the collaborative ventures that are accessible to those of us in the Diamond Advanced Certificate Program?
A: As we get to know our Diamond program members and the offerings you are making in the world, there will likely be ways that we will choose to highlight your work within our own client bases. For example, if you are stepping out as a public speaker and your topic is relevant to our audience, we may offer you a speaking slot for a panel at one of our Inspiring Women Summits.

If you are offering a relevant product or service, you may be invited to give a presentation at one of our workshops or retreats. Or we may choose to highlight your work to a particular segment of our email lists. Alternatively, we may choose to support you by showing up at one of YOUR virtual telesummits (as a bonus call, for example), or through writing an endorsement for your work that you can use on your website.

We cannot, however, guarantee the nature of these collaborations or that they will happen at all. In order for us to endorse your work in this sort of public way, we must feel great about you and the work you’re offering in the world, and it must be a fit for our audience. Before getting to know you and your work at a deep level, we cannot say whether or not you will meet these criteria and exactly what sort of collaborative ventures might emerge. The collaborations will need to naturally emerge from the journey we take together. That said, it is our intention to support you and highlight your work when we can authentically do so.
