What is the nature of the ‘Source’ that our Mystery School honors?
This online website is somewhat spiritual in nature and facilitated by a woman, so it is natural for its focus to be on The SOURCE of Consciousness. Why? Well, after the last two Astrological Ages (lasting approx 4000 years) of global culture focused on the Divine Masculine (Creator), it is time that we encourage the Divine Feminine (Creatress) to return to the middle-world, leaving the under-world behind and finding her rightful place beside him... in harmony. In this new Age of Aquarius (representing enlightenment & technology), we celebrate all of the 12-tribes (the 12 astrological signs representing community) and the return of the sacred feminine within each astrological archetype to restore balance. Our school offers the integration of the Divine Feminine with the already established Divine Masculine… as the ‘sacred marriage’, underscoring the Hermetic principle: “As above, so below, as within, so without”. It is about achieving ‘harmony’ within ourselves first (the feminine & masculine), then with our lover/partner (or closest friend), and then with our remaining relationships. As we evolve this important foundation, we birth the ‘Divine Child’ within us... the creative element and the gift of harmony and love to share with others.

What type of teaching does this ‘Mystery School’ offer?
This mystery school currently provides some basic learning tools. Launched in late 2017, we presently offer free articles and videos. Now that this is grounded, we offer private mentor sessions with a variety of healing modalities.
One study that can be expressive in nature is the contemplation of beauty. This is a major focus of our school with articles, videos and inspirational images. Exploring art and creative expression by meditating on the vibration of the medium can be therapeutic as well. Eventually, our online school plans to make available additional elements for learning such as: online master classes, workshops and digital educational products. To keep posted, please join our newsletter for updates.

What is a Shamanic Priestess?
A Priestess is one who holds sacred space for the feminine face of the Divine. She walks between the worlds of Heaven & Earth, while fully embracing her multi-dimensional being. It is an ‘experience’ that begins with a kind of death/rebirth on an emotional/spiritual level. This allows the conduit to have a transformation, which can then hold space for others by creating a type of an invisible sacred container for a healing metamorphosis and a connection to Source. By doing this in a community space, the group energetically bonds as a whole, and becomes spokes in one-wheel to propel each other into a fast, deep, intense and rich experience. By sharing in our and other people’s journeys, we can learn and teach one another and be positively affected by the entire group’s energy-field. This uplifts and enlivens our spirit...a beautiful thing, especially when we desire extra support.

What do the names "Priestess" and "Shamaness" mean?
A Priestess is the feminine name for a Priest, and a Shamaness is the feminine name for a Shaman. Women & men express these archetypes differently. Typically, one is initiated by a Mentor into these spiritual paths. Sahara has apprenticed with a number of Priestess Mentors, and tutored privately with Shamans in North & South America (see ‘Mentors’ for details on page 'My Bio/About Me').

What’s the difference between a Priestess and a Shamaness?
A Priestess and a Shamaness walk between the worlds of Heaven & Earth. Both can use sacred ceremony to do this, but it’s not necessary. Together, they have a connection to Mother Earth & Father Sky. A Priestess is able to commune with the Divine using nothing but conscious awareness. She is like a holy virgin.
A Shamaness must use something either inward or outward, to access the same place. A Shamaness can use various tools such as the five sacred elements (air, fire, earth, water, ether), guided-meditation, prayer, breath-work, chanting, drumming, candlelight, sweat-lodge, and bonfires as well as through various natural sacred plant medicines (ie: herbal teas, incense, smoke, Palo Santo, aroma-therapy, Bach-flower remedies, homeopathy, etc), energy-work, music, and fasting/vision quests.
Both the Priestess and the Shamaness have totally different perspectives on connecting to the Source that are sacred and meaningful. Combining these two archetypes is very powerful!

Tantric Sacred-Sexual Facilitator
Sahara is a Tantrika, and practices Tantra with her husband in their personal relationship. She has been with her adorable partner for over 27 years. Sahara is also a sacred-sexual healer/educator. In her personal community of friends, she is joyfully amorous with love and affection. Her journey began when her parents divorced at the age of 5, and then she moved far away where she was sexually victimized by a pedophile at the ages of 6 and 7. This negative experience and resultant programming lead to other forms of psychological disrespect, physical abuse, multiple rapes and living a destructive lifestyle until her mid-20’s, and some self-sabotaging behaviors from 25-30. She became a survivor by 30, and began to blossom at 40… as a Wounded Healer. Now in her fifties, Sahara’s beginning to thrive in her power! On the road to recovery, it took 25-years of deep healing, for Sahara to become a fully-integrated Sacred Sexual-Sensual Priestess. It all began with a commitment with the Courage to Recover :-)

The 3 Astrological Archetypes ~ for our Mystery School
The ‘Priestess’ represents the archetype Virgo, the angelic virgin ‘beauty’ (ruled by Vesta representing devotion and goodness). It invokes a sense of purity and presence. She is connected to the plants/nature, health and to sacred-timings from celestial and earth cycles.
The ‘Shamaness’ represents the archetype Scorpio, the transformational scorpion ‘beast’ (ruled by Pluto, who initiates empowerment ~ through the Underworld). This happens through a metamorphic death/rebirth on an emotional level, which usually involves a feeling of ‘intensity’. The Shamaness is also known as the Witch and the Sorceress... as she can connect to the Source-of-Life.
The ‘Tantrika’ represents the archetype Taurus, the holy bull (ruled by the beautiful Goddess Venus). She regenerates from within, a type of animalistic ‘life-force-energy’ through breathing, sacred sexuality and sensuality (5-senses). This can also be expressed through emotional intimacy, affection, love, beauty and various creative-expressions.
When these three archetypes work together through "Heavenly Harmony on Earth", there is more wholeness, wellness, peace and joy
which comes from the harmonizing of beauty and the beast within and without, through acceptance and transpersonal love.
This is the core foundation and expression of our Mystery School.
