Program Schedule
While some classes may be in person, all classes will be held on Zoom at some point during the 3 years of study. In Year 1, we will cover a variety of festivals for a number of different goddesses that occur in the Egyptian calendar. After the class/presentation, see below schedule, you will document your study with a 250-word description of what you learned & submit for review any personal rituals that you undertook each month. Send these to Pahsprogram@gmail.com for your homework to be counted towards your coursework completion.
Perform and document some service work outside the curriculum. (For example, consider teaching at a women’s shelter, volunteering at a food bank or animal shelter, or environmental establishment, creating a goddess weekend, conference or retreat in your community.) These can all be done towards the end of Year 2 and into Year 3. We want you to demonstrate what you have learned and how you are working in your own way to support the presence of the goddess.
We will have no fewer than two group online conferences (every 5 months) to gauge our progress throughout the tenure of your learnings.

Special Occasions may arise in which in person classes may be held in a retreat setting. These will be announced in the spring and available for students who have completed Year 1 coursework. Guest teachers will be presenting.
Among some special topics to be presented are those detailing the teachings of Lady Olivia Robertson, founder of the Fellowship of Isis. You can find more information about her and her rites, meditations, and oracles at Fellowship of Isis Central Website - Olivia Robertson. You are expected to create either a 15 page paper on an approved topic of your choice. You must submit a proposal of 200 words before beginning. Or you can create a 20 minute youtube video discussing the work(s).
NOTE; We do not require you to join the Fellowship of Isis, but we do think it is a good idea to understand the legacy that began the rising of priestess training and temples around the world under the influence of Lady Olivia.
Graduation Expectations
Every student is expected to identify a goddess with whom to work and two other guardian Neteru, preferably goddesses. You will be working with these deities intimately throughout your remaining lifetime as a priestess. This work you do will demonstrate devotion to the guardians and the work of the chosen path. For example, a priestess of Isis may choose to work as a counselor with women and children at risk, or a priestess of Bast may volunteer to shelter and care for unhoused and hungry people or animals. A priestess of Sekhmet may be a healer, or a priestess of Seshet may devote her work to writing books on spiritual topics and so on. Before you are ordained you will be asked whom you serve and how you wish to serve.
Consecration
Following completion of the program, consecration will be held either in the Isis Oasis temple in Geyserville, California during the annual convocation in October, or at a designated retreat site. Details to come later. If travel is not possible arrangements can be made for consecration by attunement.
