A Ritual Activation of the Sacred Lover Within
On October 3, Venus turns retrograde, beginning a 40-day journey of the heart.
This journey will ask us to listen more deeply to the truth of our heart's desire.
What do we truly want? Who do we truly love?
Yet none of us will navigate this passage in quite the same way.
Because each of us has a unique way of expressing and embodying love.
In astrology, it’s our Venus placement that describes our unique language of love.
For Venus in Capricorn, love may be a serious, long-term commitment, while for Venus in Scorpio, love might involve passion, intensity, and a longing for transformation. Venus in Gemini may love conversation, curiosity, and variety, while Venus in Cancer may seek tenderness, intimacy, and the warmth of home.
We've all received many messages telling us how we're supposed to love and what we're supposed to desire.

This Venus retrograde journey will call on us to find out what's really true within our own heart.
12 Paths of the Sacred Lover is a ritual activation of your unique Venusian nature: an opportunity to encounter, affirm, and strengthen the particular intelligence of your heart so that you can move through this retrograde in a way that is truly your own.
Your heart has its own nature. The opportunity here is to help it remember how it loves.
What We'll Explore Together

In this live online workshop, we'll enter a shared field of love — a space where the unique nature of your heart can be felt, revealed, and affirmed.
This is not simply intellectual teaching, but a lived, collective experience.
Together we will:
-
Enter into a direct, experiential relationship with Venus, the archetypal field of love, beauty, and grace

Activate the twelve expressions of the Sacred Lover and discover your unique path of love

-

Listen more deeply to what your heart truly wants
