Amazon nation rise! Tap into your Amazon ancestral memory! Shoot like your ancient foremothers! Hone your personal will. Step to the mark, focus your intention and release your energy toward an intended goal.
We offer workshops and private instruction using bows made in a design similar to those used by the ancient Amazons. In a supportive and non-competitive environment, women learn how to apply the practice of archery as a metaphor for magical spellcasting, ritual enactments, and attaining goals in daily life.
In our workshops women learn:
- About the goddess Artemis, and the Amazons who worshipped Her.
- About the Amazons through the literature and art of ancient Greece, Crete, other ancient cultures, and modern archeological research.
- How to practice archery to hone their magical skills. Learn to center, raise energy, focus your will and release your intention toward a specific goal.
- Basic archery skills, equipment use and selection, and archery range safety practices.
We usually celebrate our Amazon heritage 'round an evening fire with drum, dance and spoken word.
All necessary equipment is provided.
All experience levels welcome.
Girls under 18 years must be accompanied by parent or legal guardian.
For groups of 15 or more, we will come to you; contact us for details.
Please note: While the Amazons were noted for being horse archers, actual mounted archery is beyond the scope (and insurance liability) of our workshops.
