The Descent

A Winter Solstice  Workshop & Ceremony
How to Turn Your Descent Into Greatest Gift

 

Saturday, 12/21

 

9amPT/11amCT/1pmET 

 LIVE on Zoom (recorded if you cannot attend live)

  

On the longest night of the year, we gather for a rite of passage.

If you’re in the underworld now, recently emerged, or crossed it long ago, this ceremony is for you. The underworld is not a punishment — it is an initiation. 

It is a place where death leads to re-birth, and where pain and suffering create the rich compost for a new beginning.The Descent into the Underworld is an initiation into our Full Power.

 

“I was destroyed.”

…but were you? 

 

Inanna is our over-lighting guide for this workshop as we explore HOW to complete the alchemical process of turning our Pain into Power, Agony into Ecstacy, and Descent into Rebirth.


This is the path of the Priestess.
The Heroine’s Descent

  

Ancient myths — and even modern superhero stories — reflect the heroic journey into the Underworld, a crucial and unavoidable passage in the human experience.

And as priestesses, we are the way-showers of our generation —
the pilgrims,
the risk takers,
the black sheep,
the ones breaking the curses and patterns of our lineage.

We pass through the Underworld many times. Eventually, we even become familiar with its terrain. We drink its nectar because we know it alchemizes into gold, power, and strength.

But navigating the Underworld takes skill. The Divine Feminine holds this skill — the ability to turn powerlessness into power, and to transform a living hell into paradise.

 

The Underworld

 

There are many gateways into the Underworld:
• Death
• Relationships
• Illness
• Financial ruin…

Any profound challenge or suffering is an initiation — your initiation.

We can turn the Dark Night into gold, pain into bliss, and agony into ecstasy… the same way physical labor becomes the birth of a child.

But the Underworld doesn’t release its pilgrims easily. Its hypnotic pull can keep you bound to your pain body, unable to rise. The Underworld has gravity. It resists letting us go, and binds us to memories and regrets. It resists our attempts to release it, whispering fear and doubt, reminding us of old wounds and unfinished stories. 

In this workshop we will release the grip of the Underworld while reaping the benefits. Navigating the Underworld requires divine feminine surrender — the ability to turn powerlessness into power, and a living hell into paradise.

This Workshop & Ceremony will guide you to:

 

  • Alchemize pain, betrayal, and heartbreak into raw spiritual strength
  • Transform the Dark Night into gold, bliss, and rebirth
  • Rise with the unshakable presence of a woman who has reclaimed her crown

 

You will leave knowing how to navigate your shadows with mastery — and how to rise from them more powerful than ever before.



What You Will Walk Away With

 

By the end of this journey, you will:
✨ Understand the meaning behind your descent
✨ Recover power you didn’t know you lost
✨ Close old timelines with sacred finality
✨ Fully embody Forgiveness, Self-Love, and Radical Responsibility in your life
✨ Restore your sovereignty, clarity, and inner authority
✨ Rise with a spine of steel and a heart of fire
✨ Feel the blessing and purpose of what once broke you

You will not just survive the underworld —you will master it.

Why 12.21 — The Winter Solstice

 

On 12.21, we align with Nature on “the darkest night” to alchemize the exact moments that broke you… into the moments that make you.

The Winter Solstice is the ancient day of descent. It is the darkest night of the year — the moment when the sun reaches its lowest point, and night reigns supreme. It is a liminal threshold where the old year dies, and the new one is quietly awakened.

In ancient traditions, the Winter Solstice was honored as a sacred portal. Darkness, the underworld, and descent into shadow were recognized as essential for spiritual transformation.

It is the turning point where darkness reaches its peak —
and the light begins its return.

There is no more potent day to:

  • shed an old identity
  • break a karmic cycle
  • reclaim lost power
  • rise reborn

There is no more potent moment for this work than the Winter Solstice, when the veil is thinnest and the medicine of the descent is most potent.

Your descent was never meant to destroy you…it was meant to forge and fortify you.

Your guide:

Bethany Joy

Bethany Joy is the founder and creator of the Priestess School & Sanctuary for the modern-day Priestess. For more than 15 years she has guided fellow lightworkers, starseeds, priestesses, and healers to reclaim their innate power and gifts to live as their highest, embodied selves.

Bethany has studied under yogis, shamans, and mystics around the world, yet through it all, she was constantly guided back to her own Heart - her own fountain of Truth and Light – and the immense wisdom we all hold within.

She is humbled to be mentored by the lineage of Isis, Mary Magdalene and Mother Mary. Through their guidance, she has come to understand that the energies of the Venus Path, Rose Lineage and Beauty Way are crucial medicine for the times that we live in, and embodying this essence is a key factor in birthing our New Earth.

Bethany's courses, retreats, and programs guide women of the Rose Lineage to live as their Highest Selves so they may become the world's leaders of light, truth, and love.

The Shadow Sorcerer & The Priestess

 

There is an archetype of initiation that many priestesses – especially those in the Isis lineage – may pass through. It is a trial by fire, and it is a master initiation. It often involves romantic partnership with a Shadow Sorcerer – where the priestess is almost completely annihilated, almost completely crushed. 

 

The Shadow Sorcered-type has magnetism, depth, power, and stunning potential. They may be gifted spiritually, have psychic abilities, as well as heightened intellect and instinct.  They are captivating, sensual and draw the Priestess in with purpose.

 

This romantic partnership can be exhilarating, confusing and ultimately is destructive.

Yet, the role of the Shadow Sorcerer is singular: to call forth your ultimate power.
Not performative power — but unshakable power.

This initiation does not destroy you, although it comes close. 

The Shadow Sorcerer will not hand you your power — not when you beg, plead, appeal, rage, or demand.

You must take it.

You must take the scepter.
You must take the crown.
You must take the ankh.

You then emerge with a spine of steel.
You become unable to manipulate and control.
You see through illusion effortlessly.
Your tongue becomes a sword of Truth, and you hold yourself with self-mastery.

If you can pass through this initiation - this Underworld -  and emerge with forgiveness, self-love and radical responsibility, you move into self-mastery. 

The Shadow Sorcerer plays this role to their own demise. They are eventually destroyed in the process. And the karma they take on is immense.

(We will explore this archetype more in the workshop)

THE ALCHEMY: Forgiveness, Self-Love, Radical Responsibility

 

If you have not fully moved into
FORGIVENESS, SELF LOVE & TAKING 100% RESPONSIBILITY for your life,
then the initiation of the Underworld cannot complete its alchemy within you.
You may survive the descent… but you won’t yet receive its medicine.

Without these three keys, you carry the residue of the journey — the pain body, the old identity, the looping stories — and the cycle continues. The lessons repeat. The partnerships repeat. The patterns repeat. The Underworld only releases you when you have integrated the power it offered.

Forgiveness is what dissolves the hooks to the past.
Self-love is what rebuilds your inner temple.
Radical responsibility is what initiates Queendom.

When these three pillars lock into place, your descent becomes your liberation, your initiation, and your superpower.

This is exactly what you will receive in this workshop —
Are ready to complete the initiation
and rise into the woman you were always meant to be?
