Description

The Avalon Rose Priestess Training is a 10-month ONLINE training held once a year from August to May, consisting of two courses (The Path of the Gnostic Goddess & The Path of the Rose Lineage) with an optional third course (The Path of Gnosis).

It is THE most comprehensive, part-academic, part-experiential training in the Rose Lineage, created and facilitated by Annabel Du Boulay, Founder of The Glastonbury Gnostic Centre & Rose Chapel, a Rose Lineage Expert, Author of the witch-burnings Gnostic novel The Serpent’s Tale, a Rose Priestess of Sophia-Magdalene for nearly 30 years and a Priestess of Avalon on the Holy Isle of Avalon for 19 years.

You can take the training as part of your own path of gnosis (self-knowledge) or dedicate as a Rose Lineage Priestess or Priest of your own choosing at the Chapel.

Once you’ve paid your refundable £22 application fee, you will receive links to an online application form and to book your 15 minute free video call with Annabel, when you will be able to discuss any queries you may have about the training. If you both decide that the training is not right for you, your application fee will be refunded.

Spaces are limited and filling fast. You will need to have paid your deposit before the end of May 2020 in order to access the 12-month payment plan (June 2020 – May 2021) and take your place in our 2020-21 Avalon Rose Priestess Training Online Circle.

  • Annabel’s wonderful teaching style combines history, theory, myth, legend, visualisations, imaginal journeys, pilgrimages and creative expression, covering the Rose Lineage from the cradle of civilisation across the millennia. I have loved all of it, learning about the goddesses and priestess traditions of the lineage, and learning about myself, and remembering my soul journey across the millennia. I was really drawn to this teaching, and I am so happy that I followed my instinct. It has been so much better even than I could have imagined, and I have met (or maybe reconnected with, in this incarnation) a wonderful new community of priestess and priest sisters and brothers. This process has truly changed and enriched my life.

    Donna Gerard, Avalon Rose Priestess Training

The Rose Lineage Practitioner Training 2021

The Avalon Rose Priestess Training is for personal use only and is not open to fellow practitioners or teachers unless you also book onto my intensive Rose Lineage Practitioner Training in Italy in July 2021, which only has 5 out of 22 places available.

You can apply for both The Avalon Rose Priestess Training 2020-21 (Online) AND The Rose Lineage Practitioner Training 2021 to access a 10% discount off the combined total amount, graduating as a Rose Priestess Practitioner with The Glastonbury Gnostic Centre & Rose Chapel.

Typically, half of all applicants choose to do both. If you would like to do both trainings, please pay the application fee for the Priestess Training, tick the relevant option in your Application Form and discuss with Annabel during your free video call.

The Rose Lineage Practitioner Training 2021

  • I’ve gained so much from this training - experiential wisdom; an unlocking of awareness around my soul gifts, knowledge and expertise; sisterhood and community. I think the blend of left-brain and right-brain learning makes this accessible to everyone and really allows for wisdom to be integrated into practice.

    Carmen Edwards, Avalon Rose Priestess Training

  • I have loved the way the teaching has been shaped, and the energetic space held has allowed me to journey to a deep space of personal healing and re-connection to my Soul. I also loved the way creativity has been used to help facilitate this process and has been interwoven with the meditations and academic knowledge.

    Emma-Rose Knight, Avalon Rose Priestess Training

  • I found my real essence through this beautiful training, working with these ancestral goddesses who are at the root of many answers to our questions about life, but most of all they are the answers to our present life. Thank you, Annabel, for being my guide and teaching me how to follow, since the beginning of the time, the Goddess who is within me.

The Avalon Rose Priestess Training

The training consists of two courses (The Path of the Gnostic Goddess and The Path of the Rose Lineage) with an optional third course (The Path of Gnosis)

Each 5-part course is inspired by the pentagram, or 5-pointed Star, which the planet Venus traces every 8 years as it creates the Rose of the Gnostic Goddess (as seen in the logo of The Glastonbury Gnostic Centre and Rose Chapel)

  • The Path of the Gnostic Goddess

5 workshops (Aug-Dec) exploring the herstories and healing energies of the Gnostic Goddesses Eve, Magdalene, Mary, Lilith and Sophia in relation to your own Maiden (Youth), Lover, Mother, Crone and Wisdom Archetypes, at the end of which you may dedicate as a Priestess or Priest of the Gnostic Goddess with the Rose Chapel

  • The Path of the Rose Lineage

5 workshops (Jan-May) exploring the cultural, spiritual and mythic timeline of the Rose Lineage from Ancient Mesopotamia, Judaism, Egypt, Greco-Roman to the Early Christian Gnostics, culminating in a Beltane ceremony for those who wish to dedicate as a Rose Lineage Priestess or Priest of their own choosing with the Rose Chapel

  • The Path of Gnosis (Optional)

5 mentoring sessions with me to support you in the manifestation of your own unique gift in the world on your path of gnosis through the Rose Lineage teachings, which you may like to offer through the Chapel as an event, course or project

  • I joined the training to journey more deeply with Mary, Magdalene and Sophia, and to extend my knowledge of Gnosticism. I have loved the Goddess archetypes and how they have had an impact on my life. Working and journeying with them each separately has been enormously healing and empowering. I am so glad I was able to commit to the course as I have learned so much.

    Sharlea Sparrow, Avalon Rose Priestess Training

  • Annabel's energy, commitment and love for what she does was my greatest inspiration to join the training. And I have been working with the energies of Mary Magdalene and Mother Mary for some years now. My life has been a spiritual training without being aware of it until some years ago. I always felt very close to the Rose Lineage and this training has given me the opportunity to learn about, work with and honour the energies that it embodies. 

    FP, Rome, Avalon Rose Priestess Training

  • I've felt a calling to this path for a long time. I was yearning for something more and when I saw this course come up, it was the perfect timing. It has met my desires in so many ways. I feel that I am in my centre and in my power, and the course has done so much to help me to find that alignment again. I feel that I am stepping into something big, and to have this group to be with every month is so powerful.

This Priestess Training is right for you if...

  • You feel drawn to one or more of the Gnostic Goddesses Eve, Magdalene, Mary, Lilith and Sophia, and want to learn more about the origins of their stories, teachings, rituals and relevance for your life today, in order to come more fully into your power and to shine your and their light of gnosis in the world
  • You’re interested in the Rose Lineage of Sophia-Magdalene and its origins in the Ancient Mesopotamian myths of Inanna-Ishtar, the Ancient Judaic teachings, the Egyptian Mysteries of Isis & Osiris, the Greco-Roman pantheon and the Gnostic Sacred Marriage of Magdalene & Yeshua, the embodiment of Sophia and Christos
  • You feel an affinity to Glastonbury, the ancient Isle of Avalon, with its weaving of Avalonian, Rose and Celtic-Druidic traditions, myths and deities
  • You would like to explore what it means to you to be a Rose Lineage Priestess or Priest in this lifetime, and perhaps connect to this part of you from past-lives
  • You enjoy courses that combine both left-brain intellectual and right-brain experiential learning, including academic seminars, text analysis, guided visualisations, drum journeys, creative expression, rituals and ceremonies
  • You love the idea of sharing a 10 month online journey with an international circle of women and men using transpersonal and shamanic techniques with live webinars from The Glastonbury Rose Chapel on the sacred Isle of Avalon
  • You are excited by the idea of dedicating as a Rose Lineage Priestess or Priest with The Glastonbury Rose Chapel and becoming part of our international community
  • You are interested in becoming a member of The Glastonbury Gnostic Centre & Rose Chapel and possibly sharing your Rose Lineage offerings through them

  • I joined the training for SO many reasons - Annabel's book The Serpent's Tale, which brought Sophia into my life for the first time, Annabel's energy and what she represents, the depth and power I have felt and the intense calling of the Rose Lineage.

    Darcie Kermode, Avalon Rose Priestess Training

  • I wasn’t looking to do another training beforehand but what did sway my brain into following my heart was the academic underpinning to the course and the chance to work with some other Goddesses. Also, to acknowledge the Divine Masculine in true balance with the Divine Feminine which I feel is so important on every level.

    Emma-Rose Knight, Avalon Rose Priestess Training

  • Reading Annabel's social media posts drew me to join the training. I have seen myself change in a positive way as a person and I feel a greater sense of purpose in my life. I've become stronger and more confident in myself. I feel like a new, improved person!

The Path of the Gnostic Goddess

We begin with five workshops journeying with the Gnostic Goddesses Eve (August), Magdalene (September), Mary (October), Lilith (November) and Sophia (December), aligned energetically with Annabel’s Philosophia Wheel of the Year, beginning with the Lammas Apple Harvest and moving through the Autumn Equinox into the descent of Samhain with Lilith and our rebirth at the Winter Solstice with Sophia.

These five embodiments of the Feminine Divine are some of the most well-known and most manipulated by patriarchal religion. Come and rediscover the fascinating pagan origins of their stories; receive their deep healing, love and guidance; and rebirth yourself onto their ancient path of the Rose Lineage.

You will have the opportunity to dedicate as a Priestess or Priest of the Gnostic Goddess with The Glastonbury Rose Chapel during a special online ceremony following the last Winter Solstice webinar.

What wisdom have you gained from your Soul’s descent in this lifetime?

Mother Mary - The Mother

  • The Path of the Gnostic Goddess calls to my heart and soul. It is such a privilege to be able to receive Annabel's profound wisdom, teaching and guidance which comes from a centre of pure love, held in a safe and nurturing environment. Thank you, Annabel, for the gift of the Glastonbury Gnostic Centre & Rose Chapel and its teachings. It is just what I was wishing for and these workshops are such life-changing and transformative experiences.Vena Bunker, The Path of the Gnostic Goddess

The Path of the Rose Lineage

After journeying with the Gnostic Goddesses, we turn our attention to the Rose Lineage tradition with five workshops exploring the historical, cultural, spiritual, philosophical and mythic timeline that weaves its way from Ancient Mesopotamia through Ancient Judaism, Ancient Egypt and the Ancient Greco-Roman world to the Early Christian Gnostics, working with all their herstories, teachings, writings, myths, deities, archetypes, symbols, totem animals and rituals.

During this course, you will not only become an expert in the Rose Lineage, both academically and experientially, but you will have the opportunity to reconnect with your Priestess or Priest Self from these ancient cultures and to re-member why you are drawn to the Path of the Rose in this lifetime.

At the end of the 10-month training at Beltane, you will have the opportunity to dedicate during a special online ceremony as a Rose Lineage Priestess or Priest of your own choosing with The Glastonbury Rose Chapel.

When it is deemed safe to gather in-person once more, you will also be very welcome to come to Glastonbury and dedicate in a special ceremony at our new Rose Chapel.

  • The training has gone so far beyond my expectations - I came into it with a very open mind and very little expectation, but I feel it has so dramatically transcended anything I could have imagined with the depth of the experiences I have had. It has transformed my life for the better, it has been so affirming, challenging, inspiring and grounding. I have SO enjoyed the style of teaching and learning within the course, and I would highly recommend working with Annabel to anyone who wants to learn more about the Rose Lineage on a deeper level.Darcie Kermode, Avalon Rose Priestess Training

The Path of Gnosis

By the end of this training, my aim is for you to have discovered the unique gifts you are bringing from your own path of gnosis through the Rose Lineage teachings, which you may like to bring into manifestation through the 1:1 mentoring sessions with me on the optional Path of Gnosis course.

Following your dedication, you will also be eligible for membership with The Glastonbury Gnostic Centre & Rose Chapel, through which you may like to share your Rose Lineage offerings such as an online workshop, course or event.

 

What you will receive

In your private online Member’s Area of my website, you will receive content equivalent to 10 weekend workshops (120 hours), all filmed and recorded live during the In-Person Priestess Training in Glastonbury, so that the online material is completely grounded in the mythos and tenemos of the Rose-Celtic Holy Isle of Avalon, with footage of all the sacred sites that we pilgrimage to.

Every 4 weeks, from August 2020 through to May 2021, you will receive the following:

  • A 2 hour group webinar with me live from The Glastonbury Rose Chapel on the Isle of Avalon in which we have a circle share before I deliver part of the academic teaching and lead you on a guided visualisation, after which I give you each 1:1 feedback on your transpersonal experience of the teachings
  • Videos of me delivering the academic teachings live to the In-Person students
  • Guidance for performing your own ceremonies including an Initiation ceremony, a Fire ceremony, an Anointing ceremony, a Sacred Marriage ceremony, a Water blessing, a Reclaiming ceremony, a Soul ceremony, a Divination ritual and a Labyrinth Ceremony
  • Guidance for journeying on sacred pilgrimages with guided visualisations and footage from the In-Person training pilgrimages to all the sacred Rose-Celtic sites on the Isle of Avalon and in the Summerlands
  • Guided Visualisation Drum Journey MP3s (also recorded live during the In-Person training) and Soul-Development Exercises to enable you to work transpersonally with the academic teachings

  • Membership of a private Facebook Group where you will be able to share your experiences, support each other and receive feedback from me on your journey

You will also receive a 1:1 mentoring session with me in Dec and in May (valued at £333 each) where I will give you feedback on your completed exercises which need to be submitted if you would like to dedicate at the end of each course in Dec and May.

  • Walking on the path of the Avalon Rose Priestess Training with Annabel has opened my eyes to the magic I once knew as a little girl, has opened my heart to the ecstatic love that resides in the Beingness of I. It has been a deep dive into the Self, collecting lost pieces of my Soul in the many 'aha' moments I received as a result of throwing myself into the training and the work. Journeying with the goddess and priestess archetypes of the Rose Lineage feels like a homecoming into the spiral of evolutionary love. I am so grateful for this work, as I never felt at home on this earthly plane and was constantly seeking. Now that part of me is finally at peace, for I have come HOME to the temple of Love inside the heart of the Rose Lineage. A must for every HEART seeker.

    Alina Stoleru, Avalon Rose Priestess Training

  • Annabel wove a rich and lovely tapestry of academic teaching, ritual, inner journeying and creativity. We made collages, painted pictures, wove threads, chanted, shared and retold our stories. We giggled, laughed and cried. It was a cleansing of any old wounds still needing attention and a re-creating of an ancient Gnostic lineage within and around us.

    Pamela Gaunt, Avalon Rose Priestess Training

  • Annabel holds space for extremely deep personal transformation. As you go deep, you connect with archetypal energies that bring you to your fullest embodiment of your Divine Self and help to process all of those difficult moments from past and present lifetimes. I couldn't be more blessed to have learned from her!

    JD, California, Avalon Rose Priestess Training
  • As well as receiving informative teaching sessions, we used crafting, guided meditations and ceremony to increase our spiritual connection, deepening too our connection to each other. I cannot recommend this training, or Annabel's skilful and sensitive teaching, highly enough.Lorraine Pickles, Avalon Rose Priestess Training

  • Diving into the depths of the Rose Lineage has allowed me to connect the dots of all the previous paths I’ve walked. Understanding my Soul’s purpose guided by the wonderful Annabel Du Boulay has definitely changed my perception of and scope for the future. Having the certainty of wholeness, of my inner Sacred Marriage, of the duality but also the integrity, has created a new version of me for the good. This is a path that shows us how to find our own inner gnosis, our truth, by understanding and embracing each and all of the circumstances that have occurred in the past, in order to build an amazing future by living consciously every second in our present. I am so grateful and can't help but want as many people as possible to walk this path.Alejandro Reyes-Ortiz, Avalon Rose Priestess Training
