Atlanta Practical Priest/ess Circle Begins Oct 16/17

To listen to the replay of the Inner Treasures of Becoming a Priest/ess…

The world needs women and men right now in every walk of life who are aligned with sacred wisdom.

In the light of the massive change rate and the serious environmental issues we are facing we need those who are willing to hold space for co-creative solutions to emerge.

Do you find yourself wondering how you can be of service? Do you wonder where you go in a world filled with outer focused activities and often surface based relationships to find the rich depth of your inner wisdom?

This process is for you if you feel the calling to…

~ Connect more fully with your own inner wisdom and guidance.
~ Honor and respect the natural world and her rhythms.
~ Walk in balance with your inner masculine and feminine energies.
~ Deepen your connection to the Divine.
~ Ignite your inner gifts.
~ Activate more personal power.
~ Illuminate your sacred purpose.
~ Learn practical tools for dogma-free spiritual growth.

Then becoming a practical priest/ess is for you.

Activating the Priestess or Priest within helps you deepen your ability to bring the energies of the Divine into the physical realm. You will learn to open the doorway to divine energy, which is most often opened in ceremony, rites of passage, rituals, and celebrations. As a practical priest/ess you can also easily become skilled at weaving this tangible creative spiritual essence into your everyday life.

Through your training as practical priest/ess or priest you enhance your ability to honor the sacred in every part of life by directly connecting to the Divine as you go about the practical matters of life.

In every area of your life from:
Home and family
Business and career
Community service
Creative expression
Every simple act you do from creating a meal, changing diapers, planting vegetables, paying bills, and working, becomes a bridge for uniting spirit and matter.

When you focus and center your life on a direct connection to the Divine it enhances…
…your harmony, balance, peace, sustainability, creative expression, and ability to create with others. As you increase your sacred purpose and sacred power your capacity to enhance the people and world around you dramatically improves.

What does a modern day, practical, non-religious, Priestess or Priest do?
Priest/esses honor the cycles and seasons of nature, and of life. They learn from, and work, with the natural rhythms of the earth, sun, moon, and stars. They observe and value the relationships between earth and sky, nature and humanity.

In families and communities, priest/esses bring awareness to the way change affects life by creating time and space to honor life passages. They create and often officiate ceremonies that recognize the transitions of birth, puberty, a new job, the loss of a job, marriage, divorce, menopause, elderhood, and death.

Priest/esses may counsel and support others in times of crises, transition, healing, and creation. They may assist through their prayers, meditation, deep listening, or simply being present and bringing awareness and attentive witnessing to a situation.

A priest/ess brings the sacred into form by connecting to Divine energy in their creative pursuits such as dance, art, writing, music, theatre, ceremonies, rituals, and celebrations.

Deeply connected to their spirituality from the inside out, a priestess or priest may also be a member of any religion or have connection to none. They may connect to the Divine in nature just as well as in any home, church, synagogue, or temple.

A priest/ess makes a direct connection to the Divine from within and can apply it to every area of life.

Here is what a few people say about the Priest/ess Process with Lisa Michaels

“I found the PP to be very beneficial in expanding my perspective view of the world, utilizing the elemental forces as support and assistance in daily living. Hard work and fun, the PP has been a deep and moving experience with lasting results.”
Laura Sorvas

“The Heart is where the Home is”…the Priestess Proceess has been like a “homecoming” that allowed me to celebrate the return of my true self as I brought forth the “inner” gifts that have always been there!  It has also blessed me with the power of being a witness to the oneness we all share.  I love my Priestess Sisters!”
High Priestess Paula York

“Working with the Natural Rhythms Priestess process over the last 7 years has given me a way to look at my relationships to people, work, creativity and life in a way that unites all of who I am and all of what I do into a harmonious whole. When the storms come I am just better equipped to weather them. And when the sun shines I am better able to bask in it’s glory.”
Fredrika Mele Stillwater

“The Priestess Process enabled me to look more deeply within, open more broadly without, and live with more integrity. Every day of my life I remember and use wisdom discovered through being a part of the Priestess Process.”
Sallie Linebaugh Worley
ONE HEART EARTH CENTER

“The Priestess Process changed my life in such a magnificent way that the result is my life has realigned with my souls quest.  I have gain inner knowledge to the wisdom that lives within my vibrational field.  From this I have received the courage to stand in my own light of empowerment.”
Cherie Lyon

“In sacred space and kairos timing, I learned how to skillfully call upon and receive powerful assistance from earth, water, air, fire, and
spirit in co-creating a truly joyful,  richly authentic, and deeply fulfilling life.”
Angie Parker

“After many years of different forms of psychological therapies, the Priest/ess Process opened a gateway of new insights bringing forth a deep personal awareness that continues to unfold even nine years later.”
Susan Kersey

“The Priestess Process opened my mind to envision more than what is physically in front of me. The Element of Earth was a fairly easy manifestor for me of what I wanted to create in my life, ie. foreign travel and the funds to do it. Water was the hardest element for me to surrender too – I am an air child of the intellect and to go from the mind to the heart and “feel” is still difficult for me but I am opening, always a work in process. Fire – to burn away the dross and embrace the new would sound easy and fascinating but when I would be told to “die”, I  would cling to what I had and then relax, die to what no longer served me and be reborn unto the new. Ok, I can do that but over and over, the challenge always arose. And then there is Spirit. Spirit to me is the Unification of the Whole, our guides, our planet, our priestly sisters and brothers, our families, and then to stretch and reach out to those of different beliefs. This process was one of wondrous growth, often challenging, but fully supported within a group setting.”
