Shamanic Priestess Process Testimonials

“This transformative journey equated to a 9-month gestation of giving birth to my authentic self, allowing me a deeper sense of purpose, spirit and connection to all.  Although being in the womb and giving birth wasn’t always easy, I feel reborn, recreated and ready to serve my community in a more unconditional loving, playful way.  As a circle, we shared deeply, danced daily, laughed and cried loud and clear each time we came together. I know that we will always be friends, and bringing more spirit, ritual and service to the Sunshine Coast, the lower mainland and the world at large.”

“Since moving to NC from AZ I have had a difficult time finding and developing friendships with women. In an answer to my prayer I have not only found Anyaa, a woman deeply committed to spiritual growth and the upliftment of us all, but I have found a sisterhood and a support system through the Shamanic Priestess Process. Anyaa is a skilled therapist and facilitator and I am finding myself in a circle of some of the most beautiful (brave!) and powerful women I have ever met.”

Thea, Musician and Writer, Highlands, NC

“Anyaa brought the Priestess Process to Minnesota a few years ago and my sweetie went through the program with a leader who earlier apprenticed with Anyaa. I witnessed amazing growth in her as a result. She is now in the second phase (Magdalene) and that looks to be even more profound. A high percentage of the women who go through the first phase go on to the second. She got results because she did the work, took it seriously, dug in and dug deep. As a witness of the results of this work I have only good to say about the program.”

Marc, husband of a Priestess

“Something has changed at the cellular level. Using deep sharing, ritual, dance and breathwork I was empowered to take off the mask and make peace with my shadow. Diving deeply into myself within a safe circle of women was what I needed to understand my life’s calling. The process gave me the tools to be authentically present in each moment. Anyaa is a skilled facilitator.”

Judith, 56

“The Priestess Process has opened up my eyes, ears, heart and spirit in such a way that I barely recognize myself in my own life. Being who I am as I am where I am is a gift of the Process and I will be eternally grateful to Anyaa, our apprentices and all the Sis-Stars who were born, nourished and blossomed in the hills of North Carolina. From conception to birth Life has never felt so vital. Thank you all.”

Patricia, Huntsville, AL

“This process helped me form relationships with women in a new way. I was blown away by the power of participating in a women’s circle, of being truly heard, of feeling safe when vulnerable, of not feeling so alone. It all still amazes me. I dove in with faith that I could get back to living life again in a way that supports my soul’s purpose. I am so happy to be on that path and cannot wait to see what the future holds for me.”

Linda, Minneapolis

“You are most loved in this world and I feel so honored to have studied under you. My life has been significantly enhanced since the Priestess and High Priestess trainings I took with so many wonderful women under your tutelage.”

Joana ShinKara, Kansas City

“My wife spent the past year engaged in the Shamanic Priestess Process. I witnessed a profound change in her true-self as a result of the sustentative, celebratory self-improvement work facilitated through the Process. Her extraordinary growth has revealed for her a deep sense of sacred purpose, strengthened our relationship, and helped ground our young family.”

Stan, Asheville, NC

“I have grown and processed so much old stuff that I think might have taken me years longer to do on my own. Ceremony is so important and helps to heal so much so quickly. (The Process has helped me) …to realize and grow into my sacred mission to grow bigger and faster than I ever thought I could.

Carolyn of Minnesota

“I very much needed a community where I could feel safe. As a result, I feel much safer in the world, more grounded, stronger, more confident, like I don’t have to hide anymore.”

Anonymous

“The Priestess Process has been the greatest thing I have ever done for myself. Throughout the entire process, I stretched and grew beyond anything I could have imagined for myself. The journey itself was challenging, nurturing, emotional and done in a very sacred way. This is a life changing process. It is deeply transformative, healing and soul-fulfilling work, a journey of rediscovering your own Divinity and your own power. This process has lit a fire within me that can never be extinguished. I had promised myself someday I would do something to help me find out who I was. Promise kept.”

Rev. Dr. DeSha Moyers-Cockburn, Psychic, Ordained Priestess and Minister

“The Priestess Process is an enlivening and powerful exploration of the divine feminine both within and without. It is an essential step in self actualization and cultural evolution. I highly recommend the adventure. Buckle up it’s quite a ride.”
Deana Guadagno,DC, ordained priestess

“The Priestess Process is giving me a whole new way of experiencing life, embracing life and gaining personal power and love. I am truly in awe of this blessed process and thank Anyaa for her loving presence as I reclaim my priestess self.

Kathy Cooper (Priestess Maya) Massage Therapist & Living/RawFoods Educator

“The Priestess Process was an amazing experience for me. I emerged with a greater sense of my own worth and divinity as a woman and with a clarity of my relationship with the Divine. The group process challenged and expanded me in surprising and wonderful ways. Anyaa’s presence through the process was at times sweet and nurturing, at times intense and challenging, but always loving and real. I would recommend the process to anyone seeking to deepen their relationship to the Divine and claim their inherent power and wisdom.”

Erin Parks, Massage Therapist, Writer, Ordained Priestess and Minister

“The Priestess Process breathed life, vitality & fullness into the essence of my feminine side, even my physical female body! Making group connections with the women who were trailmates for the process has strengthened my personal will. As I fully embody these changes they spread through me to others in wider circles and I am gaining confidence about moving forward. Anyaa was a wonderfully strong midwife for this process, a true mistress of her domain!”

Suzanne Vesely, Ordained Minister & Priestess

“Bishop & High Priestess Anyaa, my sister, my teacher, my friend and my mentor. How on earth can I come up with words to show the appreciation for the work you do? I have so loved this process and the safety net that you create so that I could fly without concern about being devastated. What an inspiration you are to me. I have to honor you for the way you held space for our circle. You truly do an amazing job, one on a few Goddess/Priestess’ in the world could do. My relationship with Bill only strengthened through this process. Thank you for your wisdom. Thank you for your connection to the Goddess. Thank you for your beauty & strength. Thank you for the structure and the ability to flow to wherever we needed to flow to. I have too many thank yous from the depth of my soul to be included here.”

Priestess Shari (Starrfire) Lowe, Real Estate Agent, Rainbow Rays Circle

My experience with the Priestess Process was very powerful. Anyaa is a wonderful facilitator, with a gift for bringing out the best in everyone. She leads all of us into a deeper place of self-truth. The journey is not always fun-facing one’s shadow is never easy on the ego- but essential for deep self-relationship. Anyaa is a true leader and a perfect guide through that underworld of the shadow. The process requires as much honesty as you can bring to it. the more honest you can be, the more you will learn. It is a safe space with your circle sisters. All of us go through the journey separately together. We call each other on our “stuff”, and support each other through the learning. There is no finer process and no finer facilitator. My life has been changed forever as a result of this process, my circle sisters, and this gifted facilitator.”

Priestess Rev. Heather M. McCrae, Special Educator, The Shakti Priestesses

“I felt fearful within, I did not trust others, and I did not feel safe enough to even seek my own truth. With Anyaa’s gentle, steady, loving guidance the spiritual Priestess Process changed my life by helping me restore my life force energy and begin to speak my own truths. It gave me the strength to reclaim my birthright as a delicious juicy woman, remember to live in love instead of fear, thus learning that I am safe here; and helped me to embrace others with an open heart.” I am very grateful and have much joy in my life from this process and Anyaa!!!

High Priestess Carol Mason, The Turtle Circle

“It is difficult to express in a few lines what the Priestess Process experience meant to me. Simply stated, it is the most incredible gift I could have given to myself in this lifetime.
I came into the first weekend with all the pieces of my 58 years of this lifetime gathered and somewhat sorted. The puzzle came together slowly over the course of the next few months. Then, when I walked through the arch, emerging as Priestess to the Planet, I felt total re-affirmation that my path, as I had chosen it, was not just a good one for me – but the ONLY one I could have possibly taken. It has been less than 9 months since my emergence and I am reaping the harvest of the seeds planted and nurtured. The women in my circle have become a part of my life and the sisterhood has been truly precious.
Thank you for having chosen this awesome teaching tool as your life work. And thank you for sharing it with me. You are a blessing in my life.”

Priestess Evelynn Maurine, Tantra Educator, The Shakti Priestesses

“I made a choice to walk this priestess path after hearing Anyaa speak at a local gathering in Kansas City and after watching several of my clients grow from their experience the year before. My intention was to have fun and enjoy awakening to a process led by a woman who knew how to hold space for others. My gift was beyond the limits of my imagination. I now consciously walk with my goddesses each day and find myself falling in love with the Divine Feminine more and more. If this path calls you, please consider it seriously. The world we live in needs as many women awakened to their priestess selves as possible. It is truly our gift to ourselves and the world we love.”

Priestess Bobbie Martin, Healing Practitioner and Holographic Repatterning Teacher, Sacred Sisters of the Spiral Serpents, Kansas City

“I am not sure what I was expecting or wanting when I signed up for the Priestess Circle. I just knew that it was the next step on my spiritual journey. Each weekend we gathered, it was confirmed that I was right where I was supposed to be. Finally, I felt spiritually at home. Finally, I felt safe in a group of women. Finally, I experienced the magic of circle. As each weekend passed, I knew I was getting it. And I was. But I didn’t fully get it until the last weekend when we had to write a letter. How hard could writing a letter be? Not very hard…until I realized who the letter was to: the Divine Mother. And in the writing of that letter the night before we gathered for the last time (it was too scary to think about before!I). My spiritual search was over. I was home. I was safe. I was complete. For the first time, the whole world was open to me because I am daughter of the Divine Mother, the Sacred Feminine, Divine Goddess. I am Daughter of She who Was and Is and Ever More Will Be. What is there that I cannot do? Who is it that I cannot be?”

Priestess Dawn, Sacred Sisters of the Full Circle, Kansas City

“The Priestess Process has supported my soul purpose in a way that is empowering, enlightening, and enriching. I have heard the calling to a spiritual path my entire life but could not find one that supported me as a woman, connecting me with the Divine Feminine. Raised as a Southern Baptist, women were not encouraged to pursue a ministerial role in the church. I was not sure where to go with what I knew was my life purpose.
I feel as if I was given a great gift by connecting with this powerful circle of women, working with my Tribe of Priestesses. I hear the sound of my very own Heart Song, I know the purpose for why I am on this Earth, and I understand how to move forward with my specific gifts. I am encouraged by the effects this deep work will have on the consciousness of women: our mothers, our sisters, our daughters, and our granddaughters. We are awakening the world!”

Madonna Minister Kim Oursler, Priestess Flaming Star Horse Woman

“Life is good. I thank you for the Priestess Process. am continually amazed at the significant and subtle changes in my life resulting from my awareness’s raised in the process. It’s just wonderful. I am looking forward to the Magdalene circle in Kansas City next year.”

Ordained Priestess Connie Walton, Sacred Sisters of the Spiral Serpents, Kansas City

Suzanne Welander, Ordained Minister & Priestess

“Dear Anyaa,
Thank you. I wouldn’t be where I am today without your love, support and the sacred work that you do. Please feel free to use this story as an example in whatever way you see fit:

Dearest Sisters,
A miracle has manifested for me and for my relationship with my father and I just had to share my joy with you. I had postponed talking to my dad about the Priestess Process until shortly before Emergence. Two months before Emergence I warily emailed him about my upcoming ordination with a brief yet honest description of the Priestess Process. To my great pain and disappointment, he had a lot of things going on and did not respond. This just furthered my anxiety yet I knew that I was at the point where I was ready to “come out” as my Priestess Self, not caring what anyone thought and no longer interested in bending my truths to suit the beliefs of others. This was a huge accomplishment for me. Time cruised by with no reasonable communication and we never had a chance to talk about it. Last weekend he and I and Bridget, my father’s new bride (whom I adore) were finally able to sit down and discuss it fully. I was cautious initially because he is (or apparently was) extremely conservative and has (had) very traditional, old fashioned ideas about women and anything that could be construed as “feminist”. My original plan was to ease into it and talk about those aspects of the process that would be more palatable to someone who was not familiar and perhaps uncomfortable with the concept of the Goddess. Then I felt myself step into power and the next thing I knew I was using words and phrases like Feminine Face of God, Divine Feminine, Goddess, shamanic, animal totems, blood mysteries, Christian Mystic and High Priestess. I began making scriptural references and talked about my calling. I told them how the structure of the Priestess Process is set up through priestess-high priestess-apprentice from beginning to end including my visions for facilitation in the future. Then a funny thing happened. I realized that as I was speaking, my father was smiling back at me with approval and Bridget was nodding emphatically. I had gone into this discussion prepared to defend myself. I spent a lot of time getting to the point where I did not form attachment to the outcome but only knew that the conversation had to take place regardless of what he thought of me afterwards.

I told them that, assuming that Tim can find a job and that my business takes off, I was hoping to continue on with the Magdalene circle. Well, to make a long story short, he said “Hopefully? Um, no. If things don’t work out then we’ll take care of that for you. You need to do this, you’ve obviously gotten a calling.” This is the guy who, years prior, refused to help me with college unless I was going to get a degree in business, “forget art school or a major in religious studies, you’ll never get a real job,” he had said. “Have you considered being a career military woman?” Then, as if I wasn’t already in total shock he proceeded to announce that he feels there is such a great need for this type of experience to be made available for all women. To further my astonishment my dear, sweet, born and raised Lutheran, ex-army-paratrooper-NRA-card-carrying father then proclaimed that it was his opinion that churches have been male dominated for too long and that they’ve lost sight of the true reality of God. I almost fell off my chair! No literally, on the floor. He said that he was in full support of me and of this journey because the way I described the process it sounded not like a pointed finger placing blame but more like a curved finger beckoning “come”. Wow. I mean…wow. You’d have to know the guy but I assure you this is a truly amazing thing. I am still stunned. Never thought the Goddess would speak through my father, but if ever I had doubt in the reach of Her hand, now I KNOW all things are possible. There is indeed hope.

Thank you for listening and allowing me to share my joy with all of you.

Love and Brightest Blessings,”
Priestess Sara Visionwalker, Sacred Sisters of the Full Circle, Kansas City
