A year to explore the path of the priestess in the Ishtar Mysteries temple.
This program is explicitly for women who feel called to a devotional path of service to the Goddess. Initiated priestesses within the Daughters of Ishtar tradition are empowered to create sacred spaces and hold an annual cycle of devotional ceremonies, as well as rites of passage for their local community.
The ceremonies are held at intervals throughout the year, coinciding with the solstices and equinoxes which mark major turning points in the annual dance of light and darkness. The ceremonies explore our personal relationship with aspects of the divine feminine, and offer doorways into a deeper understanding of our own creative and spiritual lives as women.
By direct experience of the mysteries of the sacred feminine, we grow, heal and mature into our full capacity as women and human beings.
The next northern hemisphere priestess mentoring program begins in September 2022. Please register your expression of interest below.
If there is sufficient interest, a southern hemisphere priestess mentoring program will begin in March 2023. Please register your expression of interest below.

I would highly recommend the Daughters of Ishtar's priestess training to all women who are interested in working with their divine feminine power and to heal in a safe space with other women.Before finding Ishara and her work I've searched for a priestess training for years, but never really connected with any of the courses and programmes in my surroundings. Sometime before attending the training I felt a calling and an initiation to work with the goddess Ishtar/Inanna (the goddess of my ancestors). Like Ishtar herself I had the experience of descending into the underworld dealing with emotional and medical issues related to my womb. When I was presented to Ishara and her priestess training it felt completely right. Not only has Ishara years of experience with various spiritual work related to the goddess Inanna but the training also has a focus on pregnancy, birth and the divine feminine which was exactly what I was looking for. I think it's hard to find another priestess training that has so much depth, material and interaction as the one that is offered by Daughters of Ishtar.
Ishara has a gift of holding sacred space and has an amazing energy of love and devotion to the divine feminine in every single session and ceremony. Her knowledge and experience is truly a gift and every mystery part in the training has brought so much transformation to my spiritual path. I feel so much more confident in trusting my feminine power, intuition and inner guidance as well as my future work as a priestess myself.
During the year of training Ishara has always been there guiding and supporting us during the way and she has become a mentor for us women attending the programme. When starting the training I was not sure how it would work since everything would be online as well as in English which is not my native language but I'm so glad how the structure was organized and it turned out just perfect. Even if sometimes doing a ceremony by oneself Ishara has prepared us and guided us through the ceremonies.
I'm truly grateful for being able to attend the Daughter of Ishtar priestess training and to have crossed roads with Ishara.

The priestess program immediately drew me in, as it aligned with the inner work I wanted and needed to do, the healing journey and the calling of the goddess.
Working with the life-cycle of the feminine body, understanding the nature of creation and connecting to all of the aspects of the Goddess really has helped me in my devotional practice as well as strengthen my inner visions. Since I started the program, I have had major transformation and epiphanies, and the mentoring from Ishara has been of great help, as she is open, empathetic and very understanding.
I want to recommend anyone who is on the spiritual path, longing to connect deeper with the goddess, their own cycles and the womb, to take this one-year program and see how the process unfolds ❤
