Empowering Women, Healing Together.
Welcome to 'Diwata Rising,' a sacred Goddess Circle where we gather to reclaim our Divine, Intuitive, Wild, Authentic, Transcendental, and Alchemical essence. This is the Blue Print of our Circle as well as the holistic approach to who we are individually and collectively. It's about our Sacred Feminine energy at the center of this circle, the potent energy that connects us to our wild innate wisdom. Our intention is to create a brave circle where we can fearlessly express ourselves and heal our traumas, get in touch with our feminine power through the potent medicine of our sacred sisterhood.
The Circle Medicine
In this sacred space, we will embark on a profound journey of self-healing and transformation, drawing strength from the collective energy of our empowered sacred feminine sisterhood. Our personal stories will interweave, our voices will harmonize, and we will rise together toward transformation, healing, and awakening.
The word 'DIWATA' embodies the essence we seek to bring into this sacred container.
Its acronym stands for:
*D*ivine,
*I*ntuitive,
*W*ild,
*A*uthentic,
*T*ransendental, and
*A*lchemical.
These are the energies that will guide us on this path of self-discovery and empowerment. Its essence lies in evoking that almost magical liminal space. We weave together the acronyms of Diwata, establishing them as the passage that gracefully transports us from one reality to the next. Additionally, it gently nudges us away from the snares of materialism and the constant pull of technology, and it encourages exploration of spaces dedicated to self-awareness, solitude, and reflection – those precious 'in-between' moments where the Sacred Feminine thrives.

*D*ivine Essence:
The Divine Feminine's presence within all beings, fostering balance, mysticism, and a harmonious state of being.
The Divine Feminine embodies the ancient, primeval goddess energy inherent to Diwata, residing within each of us. Embracing this latent strength enables us to restore equilibrium to our way of life, fostering a sense of harmony both within and around us. Our feminine power, often associated with the heart, offer a calming, playful, and mystical quality that proves pivotal in breaking free from the shackles of monotony, stress, spiritual hollowness, and burnout. But she is also the wild woman and huntress who is able to navigate in cultures that extol productivity, ambition, leadership, and competition. These strong feminine qualities can sometimes be obscured or underappreciated. Yet, it is the Divine Feminine that infuse vibrancy and vitality into our lives, facilitating a gratifying, spiritually grounded and magical journey throughout our existence.
*I*ntuitive Sage:
A guide through initiations and deep transformation, an embodiment of wisdom, clarity, and intention.
The intuit in us speaks through the Sage or Wise Woman archetype that lives within each one of us. She has cultivated her innate psychic talents, including intuition, insight, clairvoyance, and the power of dreams. These extraordinary gifts serve as her compass, guiding both herself and others through pivotal life passages, junctures, and profound metamorphoses. The Sage is intimately acquainted with the cycles of life and death, encountering this profound transformation perhaps multiple times each day. She possesses a fearless acceptance of the inevitable and essential nature of death in the tapestry of growth. Every word she utters is a tapestry of precision, intention, fervor, and profound clarity, never spoken haphazardly. She stands as the beacon of guidance and mentorship, extending her wisdom to younger women, be they maidens or mothers, guiding them through the intricate complexities of life. our inner Sage creates a sacred space that cradles our sisters’ experiences as they navigate the intricate journey of womanhood.
*W*ild Woman:
The untamed spirit resisting patriarchal history, igniting creativity, and acting as The Keeper of one's true path.
The Wild Woman represents the untamed spirit of a woman's nature. Throughout the extensive patriarchal history of women enduring persecution, diminishment, dehumanization, and abuse, there has persisted an undercurrent of resilience. That's The Wild Woman. She embodies the energy that can surge forth, declaring 'enough is enough' – even if it's not always a pretty sight. Like a wildfire, she can blaze with rapid intensity, sparing little thought for who may be caught in her passionate fervor. She stands as a staunch advocate for her freedom, exuding an air of creativity and mystery.
In contrast to the Maiden, her energy turns inward, focusing on the self rather than the broader community. Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés' book, 'Women Who Run With The Wolves,' is hailed as an emblem of The Wild Woman. In her book, the essence of Wild Woman lies in self-preservation. Her mission is to steer us towards our true north and ensure we remain aligned with our inner self. The Wild Woman radiates an unwavering determination and innate creativity, making her an ideal archetype for our reclamation of the Diwata energy that have been suppressed through the ages.
*A*uthentic Spirit:
Fearless authenticity, embracing uniqueness, intuition, and a powerful, self-aware existence.
Authenticity shines when we wholeheartedly embrace the qualities that distinguish us from the crowd. We harness the powerful current of our own unique spirit, possessing a profound understanding of who we are and the courage to live it authentically. This is a skill to be honed—a practice of relinquishing preconceived notions of who we're expected to be and instead mustering the audacity to be true to our genuine selves. It necessitates mindfulness, adaptability, and a commitment to transparency.
Women who cultivate lives steeped in authenticity are unyielding in their fearlessness and increasingly emerge from the constraints of societal expectations. They boldly exist on their own terms and wouldn't contemplate exchanging that for anyone else's approval.
With these qualities, few things are as remarkable as a woman confidently embracing her authentic truth. She's unapologetically honest, takes pride in her distinctiveness, exudes undeniable intuition, and derives her power from within. She is self-aware, steadfast in her alignment with her values, intuitions, and priorities. She strives for refinement, understanding that perfection is not the goal, and she exercises authority over her own life. Genuine connections are her preference, and she lives fully in the present, focused on seizing each moment and making it count.
*T*ranscendental Goddess:
Beyond the ordinary, with a reverence for nature and the search for universal human experiences.
A transcendental feminine soul remains deeply rooted in the tangible world while nurturing an unshakeable reverence for the natural world. Her perspective on life is deeply organic, celebrating the belief in the extraordinary within the ordinary fabric of daily existence. This unique outlook instills in her an unwavering optimism regarding human potential – she sees boundless possibilities even in the most mundane moments.
What sets her transcendental soul apart is her unending search for the universal truths that thread through the tapestry of spirituality and the human experience. It's a quest that springs from a well of inner wisdom, driven by an insatiable curiosity to connect the dots that bridge different spiritual and cultural realms.
Moreover, this soul carries within her a robust moral compass. She possesses an acute sense of right and wrong and endeavors to navigate her life in accordance with these principles. Her profound ethical awareness influences her actions and choices, guiding her toward a path of empathy, kindness, and understanding.
But the transcendental soul's quest isn't solitary. She extends her hand to her fellow sisters, offering encouragement and support as they embark on their unique journeys of spirituality and soulful exploration. In her, others find a guide, a mentor, and a kindred spirit on the shared quest toward understanding and transcendence.
*A*lchemical Power:
The Alchemical Goddess, a symbol of transformation and rebirth, healing past wounds, and embracing all aspects of oneself with love and presence.
The Alchemical Goddess is a manifestation of the Fire element, guided through the Gate of the Phoenix. This journey ignites within us a fearless voyage into the flames, devoid of fear and teeming with vivid memories. She illuminates the series of initiations and rebirths that have forged the very essence of who we are. In her collaboration with the Phoenix, each of these rites of passage is magnified and amplified, allowing us to absorb the profound wisdom and healing from each stage. This healing alchemy transforms our wounds into potent tools, gifts we can use to heal others. As the flames of transmutation engulf us , the pain we’ve endured becomes the source of your transformative power, a gift we can offer to those in need.
The Alchemical Goddess activates a potent rebirth within, awakening our capacity to rise from the ashes of each death cycle, fortifying our strength in the process. This profound exploration leads us to examine our own ascensions and descents, revealing where we soar and where we feel restricted, where we hold the throne as a queen and where we’ve been enslaved. It draws our attention to moments of expansion and times when we’ve felt a contraction.
The Alchemical Goddess embodies divine principles of liberation, unity, and grace. She implores us to embrace all facets of ourselves with love. She urges us to embrace every aspect of our being and show up authentically, fully expressing who we are. The Alchemical Goddess serves as a reminder that challenges are opportunities for transmutation, achieved through the power of our divine presence and fierce love.
