My Personal Summary
Sahara Exodus, was born in Canada and moved a lot throughout the country during her childhood. During those times, she went to thirteen different schools! Her mother emigrated from Germany, escaping the Second World War. Her father’s Jewish parents emigrated from Poland. Later when she was 9, she gained a beautiful American step-family, with a new younger brother and sister and mother (a teacher, interior decorator, artist, minister). As a result, she traveled to the United States quite a bit throughout her childhood as well.
She experienced racism within her own family, as Sahara was born a German/Jew. Because of this, she could only mildly relate to her roots but felt closer to hippies, and the indigenous people. Perhaps it was from past lives, or maybe because they just seemed more natural. Sahara felt her true spiritual parents are Mother Earth and Father Sky. Later on, she resonated with the quotes of Dreaming-Bear . . . “Kindness is the new religion”, and Willa Sibert Cather. . . “Where there is great love, there are always miracles”.
Sahara had some challenges growing up, starting with the loss of her Mother through the divorce of her parents at age five. Her mother was not reliable to care for her due to her own issues but was, nonetheless a talented, soulful singer/songwriter. Afterwards, Sahara's father raised her but was very busy with his career as a teacher, salesman, and a minister… often presenting live talks to the public and also in the media throughout the region.
As a young child without a mother and feeling neglected in a small town, Sahara innocently accepted an invitation from a schoolmate who coaxed her into going over to a “friendly neighbor” where other children were playing in his yard across the street from her school. Unknowingly, she fell prey into the hands of this pedophile who ran a child pornography hobby with kids her age (6-7 year olds). She was abused by this perpetrator for two years. This experience and the self-abuse programming that resulted attracted other forms of destructive lifestyles until the age of 30. Consequently, she had spent most of her adult-life doing some kind of therapy, to heal these deep wounds from psychological and sexual abuse.
Some of the many ‘gifts’ from these experiences are that Sahara is a highly-sensitive soul ~ who is empathic, telepathic, intuitive and creative. Part of what saved her life is her attraction to life-force-energy that emanates from natural beauty, as well as animals, insects and plants.
Sahara was taught by her parents, that the main goal in life is to achieve:
1) Self-Realization
2) God-Realization
Remembering the "other-side" ever since she could recall (see My Herstory), Sahara knew this to be true and was grateful for this constant reminder throughout her childhood! The basis of this is to experience life lessons, and to learn to evolve and grow from the new awareness. And trust that there are inner and outer messages all the time, helping us to develop our consciousnesses. After that, we can choose to be consciously incompetent (ignore and see things as un-meaningful coincidences) … or consciously competent … (notice and see them as meaningful insights) … it’s our choice. There is no right or wrong, just consequences that we have to live with.

In 2009, Sahara had an extra-ordinary state of consciousness activation, through a mysterious ‘Kundalini Awakening’. She has had several spiritual experiences throughout her life, but this one was over-the-top spectacular… as it was ‘physical’ too! Sahara was living in a pure state of bliss for six glorious weeks when she received many messages about her life purpose from God and the Goddess. After coming full circle, she has embraced the term ‘The Wounded Healer’, to describe herself.
Soon thereafter, Sahara met her 1st Mentor Little Woo. She was unlike anyone she had ever known before… so full of life, passionate, eccentric, loving, compassionate and creating ways of living and being unique to her own perspective. Little Woo has created many innovative programs, as she was inspired by healing a difficult childhood, and overcoming adversity through self-realization. Later on, she discovered her creative community through various arts festivals, such as ‘Burning Man’. The live teachings were explored with her Epic Alchemy Program: of Vibrational Teachings – Love, Beauty, Sensuality, Manifestation, the Dreamer, etc. Sahara was also encouraged by Little Woo to share her message as an online Priestess, through mentorship. For more details about Little Woo’s awesome monthly Youtube videos, check out her Mentoring website at: www.LittleWoo.org. Little Woo is also an innovative facilitator of her own online MasterClasses. Check out her cutting edge programs here at: www.SchoolofEnchantment.org ~ they are truly LIFE ALTERING... such wonderful medicine to become a 'Magical Human Being'! She understand funky & wild creatives well :-)
In 2010, Sahara became an initiated & certified as a Shamanic Priestess with the ‘Priestess Process’. She then went on to train as an initiated High Priestess with the ‘Magdalene Mysteries’. Both of these levels of initiation were available through the Creatrix of Nicole Christine. The Magdalene Mysteries School (a Sisterhood) was founded by her in Tucson, Arizona, USA, in 1996. She crossed over to the other-side in 2008. Nicole created a different type of sacred ritual called ‘living ceremony’, which is especially unique to this process… filled with life and healing! Experiencing this type of ceremony could equal to a years worth of therapy, if one is in the correct state of consciousness. See website for more details: www.MagdaleneMysteries.com
Sahara’s 3rd initiation was as a Sacred-Sexual Priestess in a program called “Awakening the Sacred Sexual Feminine”. This process was originally created by her 2nd Mentor Anyaa McAndrew... who gave her the ‘key’ for her life purpose… with plenty of tough love, being grounded, courageous, independent, fully realized, aware of global political misinformation, filled with plenty of knowledge as a feminist integrated with transpersonal psychology & spirituality, and shared much wisdom of the Goddess. Sahara loved this program so much, that she took it a second time as an Apprentice. She plans to eventually facilitate her own Sacred-Sexuality Retreats (in South America). Please check out an article that summarizes this theme, that was co-authored by Anyaa & Sahara called "Moving the Feminine into the New Sensual-Sexual Story".
Anyaa also initiated Sahara with the first two ‘Priestess Process’ programs as well (as she made them her own), as Anyaa was one of the first ‘initiated Priestesses’ that was trained with Nicole Christine’s lineage. Sahara worked with Anyaa for 5 years and did additional part-time training for retreats, recommended by Anyaa (see ‘Education’) for another 5-years. One of many special programs Sahara took with her, was through conference calls that lasted 10-months (thirteen parts) on the "Heroine's Journey" based on the book by Maureen Murdock. She also had a lovely assistant Nikkea Walkker that was an additional inspiration, through this revolutionary transformational program... designed especially for women.
Anyaa is very supportive and has encouraged Sahara over the years to develop her unique Mystery School (based on her own astrological natal chart)! Taking three special feminine programs taught by Anyaa has altered Sahara's world, as they are in line with the lineages of the Great Goddesses… such as Isis, Inanna, Mary Magdalene... the one with many names. Part of her oath is to: serve in her Unique Capacity, her Spiritual Calling, and her Sacred Work… from this day forward. See Anyaa McAndrew’s Mystery School called the “Full Moon Sanctuary” for more details: www.GoddessOnTheLoose.com . She offers ‘sacred site’ retreats (ie: Ireland, etc), which include her amazing Shamanic Astrology wisdom!

Sahara also studied Shamanic Astrology for 2-years with Anyaa McAndrew, on natal/birth chart readings. Anyaa is a Master Astrologer, as she trained with Daniel Giamario (founder) of the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School: http://ShamanicAstrology.com. Sahara continues to learn with Cayelin Castell (co-founder of Shamanic Astrology), and her amazing monthly ‘Celestial Timings’ knowledge and wisdom.
Anyaa’s home-retreats are on the same landscape as the Venus Rising Shamanic Global Ministry. This is at the breathtaking Retreat Center (a beautiful 45 acres on the Smokey Mountains, where the Cherokee Indigenous nation was established). The founder of this center is Linda Star Wolf (which features ‘Shamanic Breathwork), at ‘Isis Cove’ by Asheville, North Carolina, USA. For more information, check out the website: www.ShamanicBreathwork.org. Sahara also received shamanic training as a Facilitator of ‘Transpersonal Breathwork’ for individual and group processes, with Dr. Anne Little, Ph.D.
Sahara is ordained with an affiliated organization, the Madonna Ministry, which serves internationally. This church is linked with the ‘Priestess Process’. There she met online with her 3rd Female Mentor, Bishop Mei Lan Willis (spiritual name: WhiteWolfStar), an open-minded, powerful, loving, soulful role-model, and fully realized! She is a teacher, writer, lecturer and 4th Generational Master Healer. Mei Lan has led many Sacred Journeys to Ireland, England, Scotland, France, Siberia and Mongolia. She is currently offering amazing Mother Mary Blessings online! For more information, please check out her personal website here: http://MotherMaryBlessings.world .
Regarding the Madonna Ministry, the founder of this church was Bishop Arnold Michael (1970 to 1990). Then Bishop Charles Sommer took over (1987-2002). And currently Mei Lan Willis (2002 to 2017) helped build the Madonna Ministry from the ground up in California into a large global church honoring the Divine Feminine, to help heal the imbalance in our world. Sahara received further mentoring from Mei Lan to become an online Priestess. See the church website for more details: www.MadonnaMinistry.world
The ‘Priestess Process’ is a ‘Sisterhood’ Mystery School. The Madonna Ministry is a global church without walls, which honors Mother Mary with ‘Priestesses, Priests and Bishops’... which include male clergy (whom revere our Holy Mother). Both unique and yet similar organizations which are affiliated and honor the ‘Divine Feminine’.
Sahara is happily married for over 23 years to her beloved, adored, soul-mate, husband currently living in their new home is Ecuador, South America… where there are lots of Mother Mary images everywhere!
Sahara has moved her focus to the internet in late 2017, as she has become available as an online Priestess since 2018. She has spent the last 50-years focusing on local community, family and friends… meeting hundreds and hundreds of people. She now hopes to explore more creativity and share her support online with the public. With 25-years experience in her private practice, she serves with her loving support… for the heart, soul, body, and mind and creates a safe space for a kind, and welcoming metamorphosis.
Sahara is currently available on the internet as a Priestess guide, Shamanic facilitator, and also Sacred-Sex educator. She shares her spiritual medicine via blog posts and videos. She's become accessible for online mentoring with private sessions since early 2018 and eventually will expand to offer spiritual circles, online master classes, and recorded video ceremonies.
