About Course
Are you interested in Greek mythology, the collective unconscious, and the mysteries of the divine feminine?
Before Christianization, the European imagination was filled with mighty, magical and mysterious female figures: the mighty goddesses of Olympus, the graceful nymphs, the fierce furies and the protective matrones. Throughout the medieval period, these figures slowly withdrew from our inner worlds, and the feminine was conceptualized as something docile and passive.
Nowadays, we have little room for the presence of the divine feminine. We live in a world where we’re trained to push ourselves, to live oriented towards the external world and place our worth as women in our material achievements.
This group aims to restore the lost power of the divine feminine, to re-open our souls to the presence of the goddesses, nymphs and heroines of the pasts, who stand waiting in the shadows of our collective unconscious. We will travel through the mythological past, and meet the mighty goddesses of ancient Greece, and through them reacquaint ourselves with our lost divine powers.
This group will function both as a support-network for women who want to explore their feminine powers and educate participants in classical Greek mythology. Through conversation, ritual and embodiment practices, we will explore different ways of connecting to the feminine archetypes explored in the course. Participants will also receive homework between the classes, where they will be asked to reflect upon a topic linked to the figures studied and to go through a task designed to help them integrate the qualities of the goddess or figure studied in class, then share their findings with the group in the next session. Additionally, participants will perform a practice between the classes that allows them to connect to the energy of the figure in question.
Participants in this education will receive a thorough education in Greek myths, learn about archetypes and how to connect with them, explore ritual practice, and connect to network of likeminded women.
Due to the format of the circle, this course is limited to 12 women.
The course will start on the 27th of August and stretch through 12 sessions.

Student Ratings & Reviews
If you are a woman and you would like to get to know yourself (as a woman) in a safe environment with other women - this is the best opportunity to both learn about Greek Mythology - while at the same time recognize the goddess-parts of yourself. Alexandra is kind and engaged, if you have not yet given Greek mythology a chance - this is definitely the place to do it. I promise moments of true discovery of yourself as the perfect, vulnerable, strong and beautiful female that you are.
