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.

Guest on INNER LIFE radio show

Inner Life is a thoughtful conversation about what it means to be human from the inside of ourselves.  On this show you will find a conversation about our intimate landscape—our thoughts, feelinListen Here.gs, intuition, sensations, dreams, revelations, insights and what brings meaning to life. It is an exploration about how people discovered this part of themselves, the when and how, and the way they now live it.  I believe that it is through the sharing of these personal stories that we can discover more fully what unites us.
