The Stripped Path : Shadow Work with Goddess Ereshkigal

The Stripped Path is a deep, immersive goddess circle dedicated to Ereshkigal - the ancient Sumerian Queen of the Great Below - and the shadow work she invites. Often overlooked in favor of her luminous sister Inanna, Ereshkigal is the keeper of everything we have exiled, suppressed, or been shamed into hiding.  She is grief that was never witnessed. Rage that was never allowed. Power that was locked away for the sake of being loved. Before Inanna descended into the Underworld, she passed through seven gates, and at each one, she was stripped of something she had carried: her crown, her robes, her armor. She arrived before Ereshkigal with nothing left to wear. That is the work we are called to do.
This circle is structured around the mythic journey of the Seven Gates, a guided passage inward that will take us through reflection, trance journey, sacred witnessing, and return. We hold space here for what is real, not what is pretty. You do not need to have your shadows sorted before you arrive. You only need to be willing to look.
We meet on the dark moon on July 12th at 11:11am - just two days before the New Moon - when the sky is at its most stripped and honest. There is no better time to descend.
This circle includes: The myth of Inanna's descent | Seven gate reflections | Guided shadow work journey | Sacred sharing circle | Healing with Sound | Integration practice | Closing ritual
This circle is for you if: You're feeling called inward. You have been carrying something unnamed. You are ready to stop performing and start reclaiming.
Spaces are limited to honor the depth and intimacy of this work. Mats, pillows, blankets & eye masks are provided. It is recommended you bring a journal, pen & water bottle. We do not allow late entry, please arrive a few minutes early to settle into the space. Anyone arriving after 11:20 will be denied entry with no refund
