Program Introduction: A group of men, recognizing the powerful work being done by women participating in the three-year training program, The Path of the Ceremonial Arts, have requested a similar program for men.

These extraordinary priestesses have agreed to share the wisdom they have developed over the past seven years with us. They will hold a ceremonial gate open for us; we will walk through it on our own.

Curriculum Introduction: The material covered in this outline addresses some of the aspects of the PCA experience; other aspects unfold organically. It is important to state that PCA is more than the imparting of ceremonial knowledge; it is a journey and a discovery of the Divine Masculine within and without. Though the technical information imparted is key to building a foundation for ceremonial practice, the PCA experience will be as profound as each man creates and lives it for himself. What we present in PCA are keys to the portals and passageways available to you as a man deepening into your sense of the sacred; the rest is up to you. What follows is an extremely simplified version of the curriculum we offer for first year training in the ceremonial arts so you have a flavor for the course.
