"This message is for
you. It is from my heart and soul. I simply said 'yes'. To what, I
had no idea. In fact no one in my group had any idea. We showed up for
this Modern Day Priestess experience based on 'trust' alone. 'Yes', it
was as simple as that.
The experience changed me forever. I
know that I will never look at Mother Earth, my relationships or myself,
the same way, ever again. I am already more conscious of everything
around me.
In this first session alone, I learned so much.
Among the many things, I learned about the power of effective breathing
and how to listen to my heart. I learned to love and honor myself and to
envision my true path, and trust in it. By simply being "open", I was
able to participate in the various exercises, and go home with tools
that I can, and will, use. Not just for myself, but for others as well.
I feel more educated in so many ways, and I am truly interested in
learning more.
I have only been home a couple of days, but I am
already feeling and seeing the positive impact this is having on my
family, my business and myself. It's really very powerful.
I am
forever grateful to you Kate, for sharing space with us. You are love
itself. You are far beyond words. As for your 'yes', simply know, your
message was received. You have served us well. We are here.
I
am forever grateful to all those who participated, to the "very"
special person who invited me, and to Nina for her heartfelt
contribution and support. I am excited about today. I am excited about
tomorrow. I look forward to the next session." Kim B ~ mother,
business woman, Toronto, Canad
here's what a few of the newly initiated priestesses share:
I am so thankful and so grateful for all you have helped me remember on this journey. I feel such a dramatic shift in my soul's joy as I remember the truth of who I am. I recall with gratitude the first day we met in Tucson, and the very first session and the amazing, soul-freeing experience. The MDP training has continued to build on this. Thank you for choosing me to participate. I have gained so many tools, learned such valuable lessons, made amazing friends, and grown tremendously. I honor you for creating and holding space for me, for all of us in this first training, and for those yet to come. What you're doing is so important and makes a huge difference. You
are truly a gifted healer and I'm in awe of how you radiate so
beautifully, sitting on the floor in front of the altar in our sacred
space at the trainings. I love and honor you with every
breath, as the fabric of who I am and my vibration has been elevated
from knowing and learning from you.
This
training has also been a lot of fun and all of us have shared so many
great times laughing and being silly, allowing the little girl in all of
us to come out and play. We are redefining the female paradigm of honoring and "being with" one another only in love, which is also so very important.
The best is surely yet to come!

My dearest Kate
How does one truly thank someone for helping them remember who they are and what they are here to do? The
answer is love; simply to spread the light and love that is manifested
so beautifully as this wonderfully full woman known to all of us as Kate
Rodger. The answer is to step completely into my role as a
Modern Day Priestess, standing tall in the truth of who I am and being a
reflection of this incredible teacher, friend, goddess and soul mate
who I am - one with as the Divine Spirit.
I
think the moment it finally clicked in with me was when you told us
that you had absolute faith in us doing this work, because it was simply
a matter of us remembering who we were, and what we already knew. There's
nothing for us to figure out in our heads, it's simply opening our
hearts and trusting that the universe fully supports us when we're in
our dharma. I thank you for all the homework assignments
and training you have put together, enabling each of us to unlock the
universal wisdom and guidance, and lighting the way for each of us to
follow our own path. It is with complete gratitude to you that I know I
will embrace and be an extension of the work you have been doing with
such grace and ease. I now am a beacon of light in my
family and community, and will inspire others to rediscover what they
are here to do. I release my full presence and commitment in being one
with all. I am so happy and proud to be a ripple in the pond, vibrating with the energy the Divine Spirit is. The beauty I am is the beauty you are. It is a full circle of love and ever revealing. And so it is..
Always love, Melissa, mother and Pilates instructor, Carlisle, PA
How do I capture in words what this Training has meant to me?
Every
moment and sacred breath of my life from now on is shaped by the magic I
experienced during these "time between times". I am so grateful that
the paths of our lives have crossed (creating quite a vortex I must
say!); it has truly been a journey. Like all true
journeys, it was plenty challenging -I have lovingly referred to it as
"Modern Day Priestess Boot-in-the-ass-Camp"- it has been joyful,
painful, extraordinary and worth every spectacular second! Here I have met my family. I have come home to Avalon. Found my Soul. Sisters. Priestesses. And the Lady Kate, your humor, your honesty, your beauty, strength and love is an inspiration. I admire you. I honor your walk and the walk of each woman; I am in such deep gratitude. More
and more each day I am living bliss and I say proudly: I am becoming
the woman I always wanted to be, the woman I always knew I was. Because
of this training, I know Love, I know it as every Holy Woman in this
training, I know it as the flow of everything and no-thing, and I know
it as me. And so, as I ponder what else to say, I am led
to an old Goddess Prayer, one I've said many times; and it dawns on me
that our time together creating the temple of this Modern Mystery School
has been like living this prayer..

Thank you for being the beacon of light that illuminated the path of Love for me.
Thank
you for truly "seeing" me. The training was exciting, illuminating,
interesting, emotional, overwhelming (at times ~ how divine!), FUN,
insightful, challenging, creative, resonant, beautiful, and valuable
beyond comprehension. It has expanded and deepened all of my
relationships and allowed me to view the world and myself with the
vibration of love and oneness. I cannot imagine my life any other way.
Trusting in the Silence.
Living in the Mystery.
Guided and driven by Love and Beauty.
In alignment with the One.. And so It Is.

Remember Who You Are™
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are very excited to announce that this year, 2010, will bring about the long asked-for Training for the Emerging, Powerful, Conscious Modern Man!
For years, fellas have been asking for a Training, and after deeply
listening and doing the appropriate research, we are happy to share that
the Modern Day Alchemist Trainingswill begin in November....
I am profoundly moved to be announcing the dates of our Alchemist Trainings:
Please
keep in mind that this is a commitment to Training and will bring
about an enormous shift in Consciousness, Lifestyle, and Creativity.
You will be capturing and gaining tools that will allow the potent,
masculine aspect of you to re-define what it is to be a Powerful
Conscious Man, working multi-dimensionally, in today's Modern Day
techno-world. We will evoke and activate the inherent Ancient Wisdom,
while igniting and practically applying in Modern Terms.
The
location is incredible and perfect for the Men: The Land Celebration
in Gore, Virginia. There are indoor accommodations as well at the
possibility to camp on the land and use an outdoor shower (!). If you
choose to camp, the price drops just a bit. To be a part of the pilot
group, we'll need to speak so that you understand what you're getting
into ;); this group must be very special because you will be setting the
standard for the entire program thereafter.
Modern Day Alchemist Dates
MDA I ~ Nov. 4-8
MDA II ~ March 17-21 (Spring Equinox)
MDA III ~ June 2-6
MDA IV - late Aug - tba
(If you have concerns around any of the dates, pls speak to me and we'll see what can be worked out) Every
weekend module begins on Thursday night and ends Monday around noon.
If you'd like to stay early or later, for extra time on the land, we
can arrange that for you. The weekends are progressive, employing deep
study, ritual, Remembering, and technical skills in working in both
the Visible and Invisible. There is required reading, and there will
be assignments in between the times we come together. This is a huge
commitment to yourself, your families, your communities, and the world
at large. Yes, it will take you higher and deeper than you can even
imagine.
