Blood mystery sharing for women of all ages and stages of life, to connect to the Devine Feminine within and around you.
A Goddess Moonlodge is a sacred circle for all women who have started to bleed, whether they are bleeding at present or not. In this held sacred space, we work with ancestral ceremony and Goddess myth, sharing circles, visualisation and story telling surrounding the blood mysteries and body wisdom. This is a way for women to re-claim our connection with the Goddess and the Divine Feminine as alive and expressed in all of nature, including our bodies.
We will connect to each other and to our blood lines, finding a way to celebrate every woman in the Moonlodge for who she is: a unique representation of Goddess and a sister under the moon. |Read more...

A series of 4 day workshops journeying with Rhiannon into what it means to priestess love for yourself and others, working with the archetype of the sacred sexual priestess and the elemental gifts of the Lover Goddess.
In these workshops we will learn to listen for and follow Rhiannon's guidance, we will work with dance, movement, sharing, breath, touch, meditation, creativity and sensuality to realise what blocks us loving ourselves and others, so that we may see and experience the Goddess of Love in our own body and being as well as in others.

Priestess of Rhiannon;
sacred sexual priestess training
Rhiannon, the Great Goddess of Love calls to us,
She whispers the language of truth and beauty
She asks us to remember who we are: Sacred Embodiments of Her;
erotic, sensual, powerful, alive, conscious, compassionate, beautiful, wild, wise and loving,
Priestesses of Her Temple which is our body, our mind and our heart, and which is the land around us.
As we love the Goddess, do we love ourselves? How do we manifest Her love in the world? Do we walk Her path of healing-love and know how to guide others into the deepening and opening to Her flow of heart and base chakra? Rhiannon’s path holds the practises of the ways of women which honour life, honour Goddess, honour the land, honour the sacred core essence in women and men. This is a feminine path of self-care, beauty and sacred sexuality; the reclaiming and awakening of the Sacred Sexual Priestess.
In this experiential and transformative year long training we will follow the wheel of BridgitAnna as taught in the Priestess of Avalon training and as it resonates in Avalon and the British Isles. Meeting in 8 circle weekends through out the year we will experience different aspects of the Goddess Rhiannon and of our woman self. We will discover, deepen and re-member the arts and skills of this soul’s calling, which will include: blood mysteries, birth and other rites of passage, sexual healing, conscious touch, cleansing and honouring rituals, sacred dance, inner marriage of goddess and god, body-disarmament, tantric ceremony, awakening the senses, embodiment, expressing boundaries and desires, releasing fear and loving one self, serving the Goddess, and guiding others into Her presence, leading to self-initiation as priestess of Rhiannon.
Dates: 15/16-10, 26/27-11, 2010 and 14/15-1, 3/4-3,
21/22-4, 2/3-6, 14/15-7, 1/2-9 2012

Steve Wilkes: " I have known and worked with Katinka for a number of years, we have weaved together the magic of the Creation Story as we have honoured the great Goddess of Avalon. Together we dreamed a new way, a narrative that saw sexuality as sacred and... the feminine and the masculine in perfect equal harmony. Together we imprinted a new way of being which Katinka has picked up and run with as she works ceremonially and as a multifaceted healer with the knowledge of sacred tantra to heal all those whose path she touches. It is a joy and honour to recommend to you the work of my beloved sister."
Anna Anstice: " Katinka's Moonlodges held at the Goddess Temple are beautiful sacred spaces that I always feel honoured to be a part of. They have opened my eyes to the gift and importance of listening and sharing in circle. Through Katinka's beautiful facilitation of the lodges, my eyes have been opened to the dinvineness of women gathering, of sisterhood and of the Goddess."
Jo Graham :"Katinka's warmth, vibrance, energy, openess, joy, vitality and beauty are a blessing to be touched by. I have learned circle dance and taken part in visualisations and ceremonies facilitated by Katinka and I would recommend working with her to everybody."
Gillian Brown: "Katinka radiates the blessings of the Goddess. She is a true inspiration and a beautiful ceremonial leader, powerful, warm and creative."
