Guidelines for the Women’s Thealogical Institute Online Programs

The Women’s Thealogical Institute (WTI) Online Programs training is open to all women* over the age of 18 who are on a positive path of spiritual development.

All participants shall be members of the Re-formed Congregation of the Goddess, International.

All participants shall read and seriously consider the Affirmations of Women’s Spirituality and the Consecration Affirmation. The Affirmation is not a test of faith. It is a guideline for the independent investigation of truth. The Affirmation asks that you think about your beliefs and define them for yourself. If you find, after considering the Affirmations, you are primarily in agreement with them or willing to explore your areas of uncertainty, we will welcome you into WTI Online Programs.

All participants shall be asked to:

• make a one year commitment
• create and follow through on your own Program
• complete a WTI contract
• post a response to each facilitated learning
• purchase program books

WTI Online Programs are designed to be a meaningful learning experience for all participants. Program participants are asked to post a response to each facilitated learning. Before you enroll, we ask you consider if you will be willing to post a response to each of the eight facilitated learnings in the year. If you are unable to respond to two consecutive facilitated learnings, you will be asked to notify your advisor. If you do not notify your advisor about your inability to respond to two consecutive facilitated learnings you will be removed from the group list and will no longer be considered a member of your group or the WTI Online Programs. Removal from WTI Online Programs will not release you from the financial obligations you agree to in your contract.

Facilitated learning for WTI Online Programs will be eight times a year - near the Solstices, Equinoxes, and Cross-Quarters (September 21, October 21, December 21, February 2, March 21, May 2, June 21, and August 2).

All participants interested in applying for Priestess credentials shall attend one Intensive training session during each Cycle.

Although not required, participants interested in a Mistress of Goddess Spirituality certificate rather than Priestess credentials, are encouraged to attend intensives.

Intensive training offers an opportunity for women in WTI Online Programs to meet and train with women in all WTI programs. Intensives are held at various locations around the country. Each participant attends an Intensive at her own expense.

WTI Online Programs is a virtual classroom. All participants are asked to remain focused on the topic at hand. Except for major life events, i.e. birth, death, health, etc., the online list is for working only. All other conversations may be taken to a chat list created by your advisor.
