The Avalon Rose Priestess Training consists of two courses  – The Path of the Gnostic Goddess & The Path of the Rose Lineage

Each 5-part course is inspired by the 5-pointed Star, which the planet Venus creates 5 times inside the Celestial Rose she traces in the heavens during her 8 year cycle, as seen in the logo of The Avalon Rose Chapel

This 5-pointed Star is also found in the centre of the Apple, the Fruit of Wisdom and Love in the Avalon Rose Lineage, the energies of which are anchored here in The Avalon Rose Chapel on the ancient Isle of Avalon, Isle of Apples

6500 years ago, our Neolithic ancestors of the British Isles and Western Europe began building their megalithic monuments, some aligned to the heliacal rising of Venus and Sirius, 1000 years before the Sumerians in Ancient Mesopotamia, who were the first culture to write down the foundation mythos inspired by the Cycle of Venus

It is from these ancestral roots of honouring Venus, Sirius, the Rose, the 5-pointed Star and the Apple of Wisdom in these sacred lands of the British Isles that the branches of the Rose, Celtic-Druidic and Avalonian Lineages have blossomed upon their singular Tree of Life, which I call The Avalon Rose Lineage

It is this Lineage that I look forward to facilitating your own experience of through The Avalon Rose Priestess Training, grounded in the tenemos of The Avalon Rose Chapel, Glastonbury-Avalon and the Summerlands, which some believe once leant their name to Sumer in Ancient Sumeria.

• The Path of the Gnostic Goddess

5 workshops (Aug-Dec) exploring the herstories and healing energies of the Gnostic Rose Goddesses Eve, Magdalene, Mary, Lilith and Sophia in relation to your own Maiden, Lover, Mother, Crone and Wisdom Archetypes

• The Path of the Rose Lineage

5 workshops (Jan-May) exploring the cultural, spiritual and mythic timeline of the Avalon Rose Lineage from the Megalithic British Isles to Ancient Mesopotamia, Judaism, Egypt, Greece-Rome and back to the Celtic-Druidic British Isles and the Early Christian Gnostics in Glastonbury-Avalon

You can take the training as part of your own Path of Gnosis (self-knowledge), or dedicate as a Priestess either online or in The Avalon Rose Chapel if you attend the optional pilgrimage to Glastonbury-Avalon

Places on the pilgrimage are limited so please reserve your place as soon as you book onto the Priestess training, when more details will be made available to you

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 Trainings held at the original Chapel 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 2021 through to May 2022, you will receive the following:

• A 1 hour live group webinar with Annabel, consisting of an opening prayer and Q&A on the previous month’s workshop followed by a guided journey to lead you into the next workshop, with the first webinar being our opening ceremony
• A 2 hour live group creative webinar with Emma-Rose and Donna, held half-way through each 4 week workshop, where you will be led on a guided journey and through the creative process whilst sitting in circle together sharing your experiences
• A recording of a live webinar with Annabel where she shares her relevant altar with you, the first part of the academic teaching and a guided journey
• Videos of Annabel delivering all the academic teachings live to the in-person trainees with Q&As
• 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 and Drum Journey MP3s (also recorded live during the in-person training)
• Soul-Development Exercises to enable you to work transpersonally with the academic teachings
• Suggestions for creative projects as a further source of transpersonal expression of the teachings, with footage from the in-person training, including vision boards, weaving, painting, crafting, storytelling, myth-making, poetry, carving and willow weaving
• Recordings of or links to relevant songs, chants, prayers, sacred texts and pilgrimage sites
• Membership of a private Facebook Group where you will be able to share your experiences, support each other and receive feedback on your journey from Donna and Emma-Rose, who will be holding you through the process

At the end of the training, there will be a final online dedication ceremony streamed live from The Avalon Rose Chapel, or for those of you who choose to attend the optional pilgrimage to Glastonbury-Avalon, you will be able to dedicate in-person at the Chapel, guided by and held in the loving arms of the Avalon Rose Priestess community

Attendees of The Avalon Rose Priestess Training are also welcome to join the 7 week intensive online Avalon Rose Practitioner Training (June-August 2022), with an optional pilgrimage to Italy.

As an Avalon Rose Practitioner, you’ll be licensed with The Avalon Rose Chapel to deliver courses inspired by the Rose Lineage for the healing and empowerment of women.

If you choose to do both trainings, you’ll receive a £200 discount off the Practitioner Training. You can reserve your place on the Practitioner Training and/or pilgrimage to Italy on your Priestess Training registration form.

Please note that The Avalon Rose Priestess Training is for personal use only and is not open to fellow practitioners or teachers unless you also book onto The Avalon Rose Practitioner Training.

We begin with five workshops journeying with the Gnostic Rose Goddesses Eve (August), Magdalene (September), Mary (October), Lilith (November) and Sophia (December), aligned energetically with Annabel’s Philosophia Wheel of the Year, beginning with Eve at the Lammas Apple Harvest, moving through the Sacred Marriage of Magdalene and Yeshua embodied in 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. 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 in Avalon.

After journeying with the Gnostic Rose Goddesses, we turn our attention to the Avalon Rose Lineage tradition with five workshops exploring the historical, cultural, spiritual, philosophical and mythic timeline that weaves its way from the Megalithic British Isles to Ancient Mesopotamia, through Ancient Judaism, Ancient Egypt and the Ancient Greco-Roman world, back to the Celtic-Druidic British Isles and the Early Christian Gnostics in Glastonbury-Avalon, 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 Avalon Rose Lineage, both academically and experientially, but you will reconnect with your Priestess Self from these ancient cultures and re-member why you are drawn to the Avalonian Path of the Rose in this lifetime.
