I’m Annalisa
My Journey to the Goddess began as a deep inner call to discover what it means to be a woman beyond my patriarchal conditioning.
Today, I guide women on an archetypal journey from patriarchal daughter to sovereign woman.
Through scholarship, ritual, and embodied experiences, I use goddess archetypes as myth models to help women heal internalized sexism and awakening to their sacred feminine power.

COURSE
The Sumerian goddess Inanna is a powerful myth model for contemporary women, but was she perceived similarly in ancient Mesopotamia? By tracing her transformation from an early Great Goddess to a goddess shaped by patriarchal interests, and by examining mythic instances in which she resists this role, we can reconsider how her story reveals—and offers a path to liberate—internalized patriarchy in modern women.
