Litha. Midsummer. The Summer Solstice.
The Wheel of the Year will turn again on June 20th. We will enter a liminal space, where the veil between worlds thins. As Shakespeare reveals in his classic play, A Midsummer Night's Dream, the fairy realm becomes particularly accessible.
But you may not be in the mood for fairy merriment this year.
The summer solstice is represented in the tarot by The Sun, a major arcana card which symbolizes the dispelling of darkness, and the inner light of consciousness. Spiritually, The Sun card indicates a great leap forward; enlightenment.
Let’s elevate our spirits and inner light by ritually celebrating Amaterasu, the radiant Sun Goddess in the Shinto religion. Believed to be the originator of all light, Amaterasu is known for Her compassion, warmth and kindness.
The sun stands still. Magic is afoot.

A Spring Ritual For Women
12:11 PM
I first met Rev. Priestess Amalya at the International Goddess Spirit Rising Conference in September 2019. All eyes were drawn to the towering Kali altar she designed and built for the main ritual room. During the closing night ritual, Amalya gave a riveting performance as as the Hindu goddess.
Expect transformative energy as Amalya leads us out of winter's still cocoon and into spring's awakening. Join us on Saturday, April 4, 5:00 p.m. for the Spring Celebration at the Goddess Temple of Palm Springs.
To reserve your seat and get directions to the event, please text 310-770-3823 or email docsharonsiegel@gmail.com
Rev. Priestess Amalya (aka Amy Peck M.A.) is the founder/creatrix of the Goddess Studio in Escondido, California which she established in 2003. The Goddess Studio is a private dance & "temple" space dedicated to the Divine Feminine, and is a sacred setting for events, ceremonies, Priestess Training programs and classes. Amalya has an M.A. in Arts & Consciousness from John F. Kennedy University and is a professional artist & photographer, writer, belly dance teacher, ceremonialist, ordained minister, and workshop presenter. She is passionate about empowering women and mainstreaming the paradigm of the Sacred Feminine. For more about Amalya and the Goddess Studio of Escondido, visit: http://www.Goddess-Studio.com
The Wheel of the Year turns once again.
The Goddess Temple of Palm Springs embraces the winds of change with what promises to be a rollicking ritual for women on Saturday, September 21, 2019 at 5:30 p.m. R.S.V.P. for location near Smoketree in Palm Springs, California. Information below. Two special guests will add their magic to our ritual.
We welcome!
Celia Farran
Celia has been described as "A cross between an Earthy Enya, Joan Baez, and Tina Fey." She dishes up the most delicious concoction of the silly and sacred. With powerful, heart-felt vocals and wacky comedic improvisations, the audience never knows what will happen with Celia on stage. The Goddess Temple of Palm Springs is thrilled that Celia has written a song for our ritual. I first met Celia last week when she performed at the Goddess Spirit Rising Conference, and was totally impressed by her amazing vocals and stage presence.

This participatory ritual will celebrate the Harvest
within ourselves and honor ourselves as Wise Women as we ritualize the
beginning of the journey into the season of the Crone. We honor the half-light /
half-dark of the season and the balance in our lives; and we prepare for rest in
winter.
