The journey to discovering our full potential is found within sisterhood. We come together in a circle of wisdom with the intention of bringing the gift of healing and awakening to ourselves and to one another and to celebrate our aliveness.
Many women who attend are already alive in their passion center. Many others have a lifetime of fear and contraction held in their sexual core. By courageously trusting in our feminine wisdom, we dissolve the fear that separates us from the source of our power. We create a safe place for nurturing touch to take us into the wholeness of our fully awake Radiant Self.

This energetic access spot is the other pole for sexual fulfillment in women.
Deep inside, protected, as the clitoris is not, it is a place that can produce the most profound pleasure, both physically and on a psychic level. But because it is inside and so well hidden, it is often a receptacle for storing all manner of hurtful things associated with sexuality. If that is the case, the sacred spots negative charge can be shocking - and it is important to know this when you begin the process of arousing it. If a woman has had painful experiences with sex, physical or emotional, her first contact with the spot may be unpleasant, even painful, in the way a bruise hurts when you put pressure on it. If she perseveres, however, if she and her loved one go slowly and love tenderly, the sore spot inside her will heal, and with it her past wounds; and in healing herself in this way a woman can awaken a power she has never known. This power can illuminate life in all areas, and can provide access to the tantric Wave of Bliss. It is the power of the Goddess Shakti, and it can be yours.
We transform ourselves as we step into the experience of our High Priestess Self and lovingly mid-wife the creative life force known as Shakti. By blessing the sexual center, our Second Chakra, with the healing energy of love, women reclaim their birthright. This essential piece of a women's 'becoming' is a safe and sacred experience when the ritual of giving and receiving this loving touch is joined to spirit and consciousness).
This birthright is discovered in a sacred ritual long hidden from us, but passed to us through the millennia of wise women. In this ritual we welcome and encourage the liberation of long suppressed dormant core energies, hidden in our Sacred Space. We bring the healing energy of pure love to this center. This blesses our temple and consecrates us as daughters of the goddess.
The sacred spot initiation, which is part of The Initiation, can be experienced in several different ways. Each woman chooses what is right for her. This varies from direct physical contact to contacting only the energy of this Chakra.
We demonstrate these options, and encourage you to choose what is true for you. The intention is not sexual; rather it is an intention to bless each other with our loving touch and our most radiant presence. The Initiation is about holding a space for you to discover what is revealed in your sexual/spiritual core. For some there is a physical healing in the tissues themselves. For others, there is deep emotional healing. This work can awaken memories of past lives. For still others, it opens doors into the center of repressed energy or power. For most women this work offers profound healing in regards to painful experiences around the feminine - mothers, sisters, teachers, friends etc.
"When I, Joan, first did this work with Caroline, it was anything but sexual. What it did was open a space inside me that was new. Through this spaciousness I realized aspects of my divine feminine that had not yet been revealed to me. Since then, that energy has continued to open and make itself known. I feel more connected to myself at a deeper level than ever before."
Here's what Caroline says about the work. My work for 18 years has been centered around sacred sexuality, particularly the "Purpose and Intended Result" for women to awaken consciousness through direct and energetic contact of their Sacred Spot (G spot- Goddess spot!) and to educate women and the men who love them in how to conduct this ritual of healing.
The Sacred Spot Ritual is one aspect of the Initiation weekend. My experience from the thousands of woman who have studied with me is that they achieve a sense of more freedom and autonomy, which allows them to claim more and more of their Goddess energy.
By our willingness to go beyond fear and cultural mores, we discover what lies beyond our fear of being seen or touched by another woman... specifically in the hidden region of our feminine and physical soul. Our genitals are more than an area of elimination or sexual performance. We do not learn this in our Western culture; therefore this center never gets the therapeutic touch or the metaphysical awakening which is our birthright. Most women accept the limitations and myths our culture offers, therefore missing out on the resultant healing and awakening of our passion and how to own and understand the fullness of our unique sexual response to love and to life!
The Initiation - provided through the Divine Feminine work, offers an opportunity to leap or expand beyond convention and into the realm of the sisterhood The purpose of direct or energetic contact to your sexual center (sacred space) and to your Sacred Spot is one of turning on the light in a dark room. There is no agenda for pleasure or orgasm, though the contact might be pleasurable or even orgasmic. This does not mean you are gay or bi-sexual, as convention would have us believe. It means you are willing to go beyond the taboos of our culture and into the freedom of your soul. This most sacred energy can be accessed and activated within the female sexual center.
This is very difficult for the average mind to conceive. It breaks with the rules we all have grown up with. Many women are awakening to the fact that we must do something to help preserve the core values of Truth, Love, Pleasure, and Freedom. The shifting of paradigms is clearly available through this work.
Our Initiation weekend is an initiation into this very sacred ritual. Each woman chooses at the workshop if she wishes to participate and at what level. An identity awakens within us; that of healer, high priestess, mid-wife of life! May we have the courage to shine the light of our love into the source of all life.
We always receive many letters of gratitude after a weekend. You may want to read the testimonials to gain an understanding of how this process heals, opens and expands our beings.
The Divine Feminine Institute and Joan and Caroline welcome you to embrace your own Initiation. Please contact us with any questions.
