NEW 6-Week Women’s Process Group
Healing Wounds of the Patriarchy
CALLING: Women In ALL Life Stages:
WHY do we need to revise the Triple Goddess archetypes?
1) They need updating! 2) The roles are based on relationships w/men,
and 3) There’s a LACK of respect for women in these archetypal stages—
by men AND other women (i.e. mother/sister/witch wounds)!
It’s TIME to: ⭑ Strengthen the Maiden so she becomes a Warrior,
⭑ Let Mother’s cup be overflowing so she’s treated as a Queen,
⭑ Respect the Crone’s magic, medicine, & life alchemy as a Witch!
Together over 6 weeks, we’ll journey as the kundalini shakti serpent, rising up our spines, activating our 7 chakras & 5 elements, embodying Triple Goddess archetypes, & crowning our wise women within!
Week 1: Maiden ~ Regulating Your Nervous System
Week 2: Warrior ~ Reclaiming Your Power
Week 3: Mother ~ Embracing Your Shadow
Week 4: Queen ~ Giving from The Overflow
Week 5: Crone ~ Alchemizing Your Emotions & Life
Week 6: Witch ~ Standing the Test of Time
We will blend together a unique, empowering, and somatic trauma healing medicine for women, including:
SOMATIC TRAUMA RELEASE
SACRED BODY GEOMETRY
KUNDALINI SHAKTI GODDESS MAGIC
Week 1: Maiden~Nervous System Regulation
Corresponds to: Start of the creative process, life force energy; *Chakras 1-2 (root/sacral), *Elements (Earth/Water) & *Somatic Trauma Release (Lower Body: Feet/Legs/Hips/Glutes)
The Maiden is full of hope and of possibilities, but her innocence can come with a dangerous naivete–(i.e. around predators, narcissists, & energy vampires) & vulnerability to trauma.
*Healing involves: ♥ Learning ways to root down/keep herself “safe” (on all levels) by employing energetic boundaries to protect yourself, ♥ Regulate your CNS, Release trauma (anger/rage), ♥ Call your power back, ♥ Trust your intuition and body wisdom.
Week 2: Warrior ~ Reclaiming Your Power
Corresponds to: Start => Middle of creative process, protection; *Chakras 2-4 (sacral/power/heart), *Elements (Water/Fire/Air) & *Somatic Trauma Release (Lower => Middle Body: Lower back/legs/glutes, power center, heart)
To fight patriarchal injustices, we need warriors in ALL phases of our lives! From righteous anger & rage to quiet rebellion, we will explore how to get stronger on ALL levels (physical, mental, emotional, energetic, & spiritual), but also NOT burn out!
*Healing involves: Reclaiming your POWER! ♥ Letting your PASSION lead, but be discerning; pick your battles (fight only if necessary); ♥ Prioritizing your REST & RELAXATION (when you can); ♥ KNOWING you are always safe!
Corresponds to: Maintenance of the creative process, nourishing & sustaining life; *Chakras 3-4 (navel or power centter / heart), *Elements (Fire/Air) & *Somatic Trauma Release (Middle Body: Hips, Pelvic Bowl as “Inner Cauldron,” Heart, and Throat / Voice
Week 3: Mother ~ Embracing Your Shadow
The Mother does the most work and hardest “labor” with the least appreciation. Often left being the primary caregiver, she can easily become an overworked, self-sacrificial martyr.
*Healing involves: ♥ Putting yourself first/filling your own cup, ♥ Releasing anger/sacred rage, ♥ Prioritizing rest/self-care, setting fierce boundaries, ♥ speaking truth (needs/wants/desires) ♥ Asking for help/support & delegating where needed, ♥ Allowing yourself to receive! ♥
Week 4: Queen ~ Giving from The Overflow
Corresponds to: Enjoyment of the creative process, relishing the good things in life; *Chakras: 3+5+7: (Power, Voice of Truth, & Crown), *Elements (Fire/Air/Space/Ether), *Somatic Trauma Release (Middle/Upper Body—Stomach, lungs/throat, top of head)
Unlike the Mother archetype, The Queen is sovereign over herself; she allows herself to both rest & fully receive so she can give from the “overflow” (vs.empty or1/2 empty cup)
Healing involves: ♥ Being fair & generous to all, despite blood relation (i.e. family of choice or love)♥ Do what fills your cup, ♥ Practice walking “heels first” (for a queenly posture!) ♥
Corresponds to: End of creative process, death/rebirth (dying to be reborn again; *Chakras 5-7 (throat/3rd eye/crown), *Elements (Air/Ether) & *Somatic Trauma Release (Upper Body—Throat/face, third eye/pineal gland, ears/jaw, brain stem/vagus nerve)
Week 5: Crone ~ Alchemizing Emotions/Life
In our Western, youth-&-beauty obsessed, death-phobic culture, the Crone is too often seen as not “valuable” or is easily discarded/dismissed—even though She embodies life wisdom from decades of living & has valuable lessons to teach younger women!
Healing involves: Respecting older women as “village elders”♥ Honoring them for the unique magic & medicine they bring (including how to alchemize ALL of life’s events & find the “gold” in it ⇒ our own unique gifts/abilities & ultimately♥ “Crowning” the crone/wise women in us!
Week 6: Witch ~ Standing the Test of Time
Corresponds to: End of creative process, death/rebirth (dying & being reborn again); *Chakras 5/6 (truth, intuition/vision, crown, 0 (Earth Star (below), 8 Soul Star* (above), *Elements (Air/Ether, Earth/Fire) & *Somatic Trauma Release (Upper Body—Throat/ face, 3rd eye/pineal gland, ears/jaw, vagus, crown + above head + below the ground
Unlike a Crone, a Witch is outside even a traditional elder female role of grandmother; outcast by patriarchy, taught to be feared, viewed as dangerous/manipulative; highly misunderstood—all because men felt her power a threat to theirs. Still, She teaches strength & can help you survive AND thrive by burning away all that’s holding you back!
Healing involves: ♥ Respecting & honoring our “village elders” / ancient wise ones who stood the test of time, trials, & torture, for their unique magic / medicine of shapeshifting, alchemy, & transformation, & “crowning” the witchy wise women within each of us

Testimonials
I so enjoyed this offering that helped reconnect me with my divine feminine wisdom & strength. Stara’s somatic exercises helped me to release grief & sacred rage with a teacher who presented the material with an energy that ignited feelings of empowerment. Highly recommend healing your witchy wounds in community in this way (& anyone who could use reconnection to their divine feminine/self-esteem/ intuition/inner power, especially people harmed by emotional abuse/gaslighting)! Feeling much less frozen inside my body as I enter a new phase of life. Much gratitude for you & the wise women & witches of history! ~ Desiree Woehrle, LCSW
“This is so cool, Stara! I learned so much; you have so much wisdom! Some of the highlights for me were: being a bridge between heaven and earth, seeing the magic past the illusion, the power of ugliness, & the archetypes and the transformation that can happen at each stage!”
~ Tina Cacho Sakai
“After taking Day 3 of Stara Shakti’s workshop, I feel more empowered as a Crone / Queen to fully express myself & put more energy into my career as a healer. I also appreciated her understanding of aging on a different level, especially knowing the Queen phase is related to the upper chakras, trust, & intuition. Stara’s communication was clear and instructions with exercises were easy to follow. I also was able to heal from a bit of a witch wound as I heard other women share about their experiences of healing & embracing the different archetypes.” Thank you, Stara!” ~ S.C.
“I just wanted to thank you for adding warrior, queen, & witch, as it feels more complete. I enjoy the other three, but they feel very maternal to me! I love love, but at the same time there’s a righteous anger. I think the new phrasing is more powerful & more accurate; the demonization of witches is insane! I wish every woman could learn this material; it’s empowering & freeing in its potential to heal! I personally feel safer in my body, more confident, & ready to take up more space in my own life! ~ A.G.
