Ceremony is an intentional act of creation—an invitation to go deeper into your most profound relationship with the Divine—the source of your healing and manifestation.

—Reverend Misa Hopkins

Would you like to help women deepen their experience in the Sacred Feminine?

Mother Misa is looking for 5-10 dedicated women who would like to:

  • Discover how to hold space for your fulfillment and that of others
  • Identify and fulfill unspoken needs
  • Enter into Mystical realms with Spirit through evocative, inspiring ceremonies
  • Catapult your spiritual growth through the sacred art of ritual
  • Manifest with greater ease through focused spiritual practice
  • Deepen your relationship to your true Sacred Feminine nature

What do Keepers do?

Becoming a Keeper is an opportunity to deepen your relationship to the Sacred Feminine as you create and facilitate contemporary ceremonies for men, women and children or learn to offer ceremonies for women in an ancient Native tradition.

 

Two Types of Keepers:

Keeper of the Water Ceremonies

When you complete your apprenticeship you will be initiated to facilitate these traditional ceremonies and initiations for women:

  • Full Moon Healing Water Ceremony
  • Baby Girl Initiations
  • Womanhood (menses)
  • Talking Circle
  • Plus contemporary ceremonies and rituals for men, women and children

 

Keeper of the Sacred Ways

When you complete your apprenticeship you will be initiated to facilitate:

  • Traditional Talking Circle
  • Contemporary ceremonies and rituals for men, women and children

Some women take the training to deepen their personal relationship with the Sacred Feminine, to then bring their deeper understanding into their coaching, counseling, and in helping individuals create personal rituals for themselves.

How do I know if I’m being called?

Reflect on it quietly during prayerful or meditative time, and if it feels right, proceed.

You have an entire year to study and finally decide if your calling is true and you wish to commit to becoming a Keeper of the Water Ceremonies or a Keeper of the Sacred Ways.

During that time you will discover much that you can apply immediately in your spiritual growth and ceremonies. You do not need to be Native nor do you need to maintain a Native spiritual practice on a regular basis.

You do need to have a humble and open heart, with respect for the teachings of an ancient tradition.

You need to have a deep desire to hold space for others as they explore the depths of the Sacred Feminine within themselves.

You will be apprenticing with Mother Misa

Misa is the Guardian of a 1,000+ year old Path in the Sacred Feminine. She has been leading ceremonies for 25 years and has been a professional teacher for over 30 years, and she is an ordained minister through Holistic Resources Foundation.

Misa is an experienced and trained ceremonialist, so your training will begin in learning ceremonial techniques and approaches that you can use for any ceremony you choose to create.

As you progress, she’ll teach you specifics about the Full Moon Healing Water Ceremony, related ceremonies, meditations and journeys within her Native tradition of the Sacred Feminine.

Here’s what you’ll discover during 10 weekly sessions with Misa

  1. Understanding the True Meaning of Ceremony and the Role of the Ceremonialist
  2. Identifying the Hidden Gifts of Ceremonies
  3. Knowing How to Access the Power of Ceremony for Opening Divine Pathways
  4. Identifying the Key Elements of Meaningful Ceremony
  5. Knowing Your Ethical and Legal Responsibilities as a Ceremonialist
  6. Discovering How to Respond to the Unexpected
  7. Knowing How to Offer a Safe, Deep and Powerful Talking Circle and Ceremony
  8. Finding Out How You Become Fulfilled as a Ceremonialist
  9. Discovering How to Serve Your Community Through Ceremony
  10. Experiencing How Surrender, Acceptance, Desire and Commitment Lead to Fulfillment
  11. Experiencing How Holding in Compassion, in Sacred Feminine Practice, Can Release Life-Long Pain and Manifest a Joyful Life
