ALisa Starkweather

ALisa Starkweather

Co Founder

I am a certified Shadow Work® facilitator since 1993 and one of the original founders and designers of Women In Power. I have been avidly involved in ritual, rites of passage work, community building and healing for nearly 25 years.

I am the founder and facilitator of a two-year international women’s spirituality and leadership program, the acclaimed Priestess Path Apprenticeship. As a Women’s Empowerment Trainer, I help women to walk on fire, dance with serpents, sleep in caves and transform their lives with authenticity, connection and passion. I have three recordings of original chants for circles, Daughter of the Earth and Calling Us Home and Women Rise Up. I am the visionary and organizer of the Women’s Belly and Womb Conference, Daughters of the Earth Gatherings, the founder of the grassroots Red Tent Temple Movement and a featured teacher and speaker at several women’s gatherings worldwide including Making Way for the Feminine for the Benefit of the World Community in Jaipur India.

I am working on several initiatives and future visions for women at this time which include creating a global database for Women Rise Up alliance, Building the Sisterhood Bridge and a U.S. Women Rise Up tour with teachers, ceremonialists, activists and musicians. I am also seeking filmmakers that could help in a Red Tent Temple Youtube series on several women’s topics. My website is www.alisastarkweather.com where you can join the mailing list and be a part of a women’s movement now that is shaking the trees.

“ALisa Starkweather is truly magic, deeply wild, and contagiously empowered. She has offered me personally , as well as countless women and men I know, profound renewal of faith and spiritual transformation. She has the ability to stir the hidden, undeveloped, wounded and long neglected parts of our souls into positive action. When ALisa has the opportunity to lead people in ritual or interactive workshops there can be no doubt that The Great Goddess Herself has charged her with the vital, timely work of awakening human beings to the mysteries of the Sacred Feminine.” A.W.
