Ritual Is Resistance

Ritual is resistance. Whether it’s prayer or baptism, secular or religious, ritual draws us closer to what we consider true and sacred. All throughout history, female saints and mystics have demonstrated to us that there’s a power, an ultimate power directly connected to the divine, that exists within every one of us.

Join feminist theologian Meggan Watterson for a weekend of exploring a riveting first-century scripture about a courageous saint named Thecla. We’ll examine the seven stages of spiritual transformation in Thecla's story in order to embody the authority of knowing our own worth—a worth that allows us to move past the expectations of others and listen to what our soul desires.

Through fiery talks about Thecla and other forgotten voices of the divine feminine like Mary Magdalene, we’ll illuminate the stories that have been left out of the canon for far too long. Through the practice of the soul-voice meditation, we’ll experience a spiritual path that allows us to release the egoic thoughts that often keep us from what we know is meant for us.
