Journey Through The Wheel of The Year
As Earth dances around the Sun, she transforms from birth to death to rebirth, creating the Wheel of The Year. As her daughters, we too, can live and embody the wisdom of this sacred cycle. Cultivating connection with Gaia’s seasonal rhythms offers inspiration, meaningful relationship to self and others, belonging and stability through change.
As the ancient ones did, you are invited to joyously honour and celebrate the annual cycle of the seasonal festivals, called Sabbats. These include the solstices, equinoxes and their midpoint cross quarter high holy days.
In Global Sisterhood, you are welcomed to join us for a single Sabbat Ceremony or all 8 Sabbat Ceremonies within our Wheel of The Year Temple Membership. We are aligned to the northern hemisphere and welcome all women who feel called to participate.
Ostara
Spring Equinox Ceremony
Monday, March 20
3pm pdt (2 - 2.5 hours)
Come celebrate in Ceremony and Sisterhood! Ostara is the beginning of the astrological new year with the Sun entering the astrological sign of Aries. This honouring of new life at the vernal / spring equinox is when day and night are of equal length, creating the sacred marriage equilibrium of masculine and feminine energies, light and dark, and inner and outer balance. With the Sun's strength growing from darkness, there is a serpentine / dragon energy arising from Gaia and from within us, igniting inspiration, new ideas, and fertile power.
The name Ostara comes from the Germanic Goddess, Eostre, associated with the hare and the egg, symbolic of sensuality, fertility and rebirth. It was from Eostre that the Christian celebration of Easter evolved, and also the naming of the hormone estrogen, essential to women's fertility.
In our Ceremony, we will evoke the Astrological, Elemental, Mythological and Archetypal Wisdom of spring equinox and then deepen with an Ostara Invocation and Rite. We will then connect in sisterhood for nourishing reflection and empowerment.
Join us and celebrate the power of fertility and renewal!

I LOVE my sister, Achintya Devi so much and the magickal work she continues to do through Goddess Rising Mystery School; empowering the divine feminine through goddess gatherings and pilgrimages, guiding women to reclaim their sovereignty, healing through primordial rituals, and creating a safe container to connect and tap into the powerful energies of sacred lands. I was blessed to journey with her and 10 other goddess sisters to the heart chakra of the world: Glastonbury, England on her “Avalon Priestess Pilgrimage” in September of 2019. Before that magickal journey, I had the opportunity to meet with Achintya on her home island of Maui a couples months prior while on another enchanted journey, and it was such a joy to connect with her radiant spirit! I knew immediately from our meeting, that the upcoming pilgrimage was going to change my life, and it did! While in Avalon, Achintya helped me to heal the relationship with my womb space and moon cycle which I had had a horrible connection to for most of my life and despised every month - it was so painful, and I constantly felt very weak and ashamed of it. With such loving and nurturing guidance, Achintya encouraged me to do a special moon blood ritual to re-write my story of my moon cycle every month...to reconnect with my womb space and to understand the symbiotic relationship with the divine mother and the natural moon cycles. I felt the shift immediately after and I continue to use this ritual to maintain a healthy relationship with my womb space - which is the energetic and physical center of creation. As an artist, this has changed my life!I highly recommend working with Achintya if you’re ready to do the work and transform your life. She is one of the most beautiful spiritual teachers I have ever had the honor of working with. Her divine guidance, loving nature, and nurturing spirit allows her to be an empathic healer. Yet she is also a powerful leader, allowing her intuitive wisdom and wealth of esoteric knowledge to guide her. Witnessing the healer and leader so effortlessly, was mind blowing! Achintya is literally paving the way for our new earth, and is an amazing force to be reckoned with! I am so grateful to know her and to experience the continued magick unfolding from our journey together!

Achintya carries the frequency of the ancient Goddess from every lineage, down to our origins as star beings. She holds and shares these sacred codes with integrity, reverence, and deep commitment. Being guided by Achintya through her online offerings, our Egyptian pilgrimage, and our journey to the sacred sites of Avalon has awakened the archetypal goddess energies within me. As a result, every aspect of my life has been uprooted, replanted, and is now growing with a strength of foundation I never knew was possible.Working with Achintya leaves no stone unturned. Her presence is both a gentle invitation and a fierce command to know the full spectrum of what it means to embody the Goddess. Choosing this path with her as your guide is not a casual encounter, but a deep, epic, root-to-rise warrioress journey that will reconnect you to the chalice of your womb, the center of our earth mother, and the galactic realms of the entire universe.

Achintya, bearer of the Queen Codes, high priestess, goddess guide, sacred sister, dragon mother and torchbearer in the shadows of the liminal realms. The architecture of the queen of multiple realms is whole and holy. She who walks the beauty way and leads with golden footsteps an illuminated path home to yourself. She is multidimensional, multifaceted and magical beyond mundane comprehension. She is unapologetic in her passion, desire and sovereignty and is completely resplendent in her feminine fullness! What a mystical delight to be in communion and sisterhood with such a soul that resonates on the frequencies of true queen codes.Achintya, embodies, empowers and exalts all other queens. A queen that teaches, mentors and guides you to find your own inner throne of sovereignty, safety and sensuality. The openings, conduits and channels to our inner queendom are where we find the alchemical tools of honing our Woman-Craft.Thank you Achintya for your dedication of offering beauty and wisdom to the sacred invisible world that gives us life and to revealing and revering the queen codes of every goddess!

My experience with Achintya Devi and Goddess Rising can be summed up in one phrase: Pure Joy! I am so happy to have found her offerings and that I said YES to my soul calling. I had the privilege of traveling to France on a Mary Magdalene Pilgrimage with Achintya and 4 other sisters during our Priestess of the Rose 2019/2020 spiral. Achintya held space in such a beautiful way over our 10-day Pilgrimage. She created the perfect balance of structure and flow, weaving each day with great ease and love. She was mindful of each sister’s energy, and I felt safe and taken care of on our epic adventures! My experience with Achintya in person is clearly reflected in her online offerings. Achintya’s love and experience creates a magical container for women to come together to learn, heal and celebrate each other! I am so grateful and honored to have connected with Achintya and the Goddess Rising Mystery School. This sisterhood is truly special, led by a beautiful, loving soul! I recommend Achintya's offerings to anyone seeking guidance, connection and a safe container to explore on their spiritual path. Blessed Be!

I had the pleasure of meeting Achintya for the first time at her Daughters of the Moon Temple retreat (co- created by Ritual Movement Arts & Goddess Rising) on Maui, in 2016.It was one of the most invigorating & blessed experiences of my life so far.Since that experience, Achintya and her beloved Shems were the Officiants of my wedding ceremony a year later. They co-created the most heartfelt & memorable day just for us. We are forever grateful.Achintya is not only a dear friend, but a wise and empowered woman whom I admire with the utmost respect. I am grateful to have her in my life, along with her husband Shems Heartwell, and their continued love and support for my work /Opal Moon Designs.With complete gratitude, I am proud to also share that Achintya Devi is also the official OpalMoon Ambassadress as of 2017.Lastly, and not least to mention, I have since then, been on 2 pilgrimages to Egypt with Achintya/Goddess Rising in 2019 + 2020. Both of those experiences have provided a deeper enlightenment + alignment for me, which I am still beyond words about. I have always dreamt of going to Egypt since I was a little girl, it was a “calling” that I didn't quite understand. Now I do. I never saw myself going there outside of a very spiritual journey, that was devoutely dialed in, and of “another level + dimension”. Achintya / Goddess Rising offered that to me. I can not explain how grateful I am to have been offered such a trip “of a lifetime” not only once, but twice.Thank you Achintya for your love, mentorship, and friendship.

Achintya and Goddess Rising have been instrumental in my growth and development in my sovereignty. As a teacher, Achintya is fully aligned and in integrity with her word, action and intention and is an inspiration. She reflects with pure love which makes it safe to expand to the fullest. I had the honor of journeying with her through a couple different pilgrimages and they changed my life. I'm thankful she and this collective have come into my world as it's the gift that keeps on giving (to myself and my soul) on all levels.

Achintya is the embodiment of the Feminine Divine. Her ability to weave and create mystical opportunities for us all to experience is a gift. Her essence and intentions stem from a space of divine love and grace, and I am honored to have learned from her. You will feel an immediate recognition, a level of safety in her presence. She has the ability to hold space for your heart and witness your soul blooming. It is quite a gift, these are mature spiritual qualities, developed over lifetimes of service. I was extremely fortunate to attend The Egypt Priestess Pilgrimage in January 2020 with Achintya and Sarah Naia Soleil. This experience was life-changing and I felt completely held by the cosmic mother to experience all of it and transform my life. Achintya is a true reflection of the Goddess, she is bountiful with divine presence, her ike (knowledge) is pure and her heart wide open. Do not hesitate to work with her, learn from her and receive. I know you can hear a calling or a yearning, that sound you are hearing is your soulsong, she taught me that, now....follow it.

Achintya and her dedication to Goddess Rising Mystery School have changed my life in the most profound ways! I have personally known Achintya since 2015 when my soul was calling me to retreat. I searched online desperate to find a group of women I could connect to, as I was going through very intense spiritual awakenings without having a true connection to other women or really even understanding who I was or was becoming. The Wild Sacred Women’s retreat (with Achintya & Ameya) was held on the island of Maui. I remember when we met, I looked into her Achintya’s eyes and started crying. I was home. Held in a container that was so incredibly strong. With powerful women that are doing this work to reclaim our True Divine Nature and our Sovereignty. I left Maui knowing and fully committed to this path. And that no matter how deep or how hard, I had a group of like-minded women that are on similar journeys. I felt LOVE for myself for probably the first time, along with REAL LOVE from other women.Achintya has guided me when I have needed strength and provided the circle of sisters to turn to when I need support. I have done a few other courses with her that have provided such intuitive insights into the Goddess teachings, and I know the energy that she connects with is incredibly pure and sacred. Her mission on this earth is profound, and I am humbled to witness her in her true essence and power. She is THE GODDESS EMBODIED.The most recent retreat that I had the privilege of going on was in September 2019 to Avalon. The energy and intention that was put into creating this particular experience were second to none. Words cannot describe the transformation that I have experienced being on these sacred lands of Avalon, the heart chakra of the planet. Thank you Achintya for being the most sacred guide to so many women who cross your path. It is an absolute honor to know you and to see what the Goddess has in store for this sacred sisterhood.

I have done many programs/ trainings with Achintya / Goddess Rising & every single time my life has transformed in a powerful way. I love the wisdom & reflection Achintya offers. She is a grounded, empowered, loving guide that holds your hand every step of the way. Each training / program I have taken is created with great detail, great structure & great magic. I love journeying with her as I feel that nothing gets left out both practically & mystically. And one of the most powerful things is the sisterhood love and women I’ve met along the way. Knowing that I am not alone on this path, finding a tribe of women that support and love each other. I hold Achintya in great regard with the utmost admiration, love and gratitude for her sacred service. The creations that come through her are truly magnificent!!! I can genuinely recommend women work with Achintya. My life has been blessed in beautiful ways from the work I’ve been able to do in the powerful containers Achintya holds.”
