WTI Study
What is the Women’s Thealogical Institute (WTI)?
The Women’s Thealogical Institute (WTI) is a multidimensional school and seminary for women who wish to further their understanding of the Goddess, women’s spirituality, and/or women’s witchcraft. Being a part of WTI offers women the opportunity to learn, practice, and share their spiritual work with others on similar paths.
WTI focuses on a core Course of Study for all participants, designed to build skills in these key areas of spiritual leadership and personal growth: Goddesses, Environment, Magic, Feminism, Organization and Leadership, Psychic Skills, and Spiritual Guidance and Support.
In addition to the core topics, each woman identifies at least one area of specialization, termed her Path, with activities and electives focused on her personal goals for developing skills for leadership and practice: Ritualist, Creatrix, Earthwalker, Healer, Scholar-Teacher, Guardian, and Organizer.
There are two ways you can participate in WTI. Click one of the links below for more information.
WTI Weekend Groups
Currently, weekend programs happen in Austin, Texas; Indianapolis, Indiana; Asheville, North Carolina; Madison, Wisconsin; and rotating cities in the western US. Women in the weekend program meet for 2 Advising weekends a year with their group to share their program work with others. WTI Weekend Groups are programs that require enrollment and may lead to certification and/or ministerial credentials.
If you are interested in starting a new WTI Weekend Group in your area, please email us.
