Hosted by Priestess Presence Temple & School of Sacred Arts
ECLIPSING INJUSTICE:
A Heart Movement to
Dismantle Systems of Oppression
3 Activations, Discussions, & Healing Rituals
Led by Lettie Sullivan & Guests
For people of all ethnicities, & genders
Live, On Zoom:
July 4th, 5pm PST (Full Moon)
Recordings available
(donations welcomed & encouraged)
You are invited to join us along a journey of 3 activations & healing rituals, held by Spiritual Practitioner, Priestess and Transitional Specialist, Lettie Sullivan, to dissolve the energetic system of racial injustice and ignite your heart of compassion, empowering you to take loving action toward creating a new social construct for a world that works for everyone.
The forces that have been designed to dominate, kill, and amass wealth at the expense of BIPOC lives—at the expense of women and children’s lives—has come to its zenith.
We can no longer turn a blind eye or be paralyzed in the face of it.
It’s time to eulogize the old world and make way for a new reality.
Together, over the next six weeks, we will intentionally use the eclipse ‘season’ as a time portal of transformation.
We will:
- Disrupt and call out existing paradigms of injustice and oppression
- Open our hearts to conceive a new social construct of equity & love
- Ignite a ferocious love in our hearts and minds to fuel the shift
- Amplify this new paradigm of consciousness in our communities
But how can we really make tangible and lasting change?
How can we acknowledge the racist systems that we live and participate in, along with all the hurt and destruction that has come from this, then begin—together—to dissolve this sick system into creating a new social construct that is equitable, healing, abundant, and life-giving for all beings?
We must plant a seed of resolution, in our hearts, with every fiber of our being and begin cultivating it in the collective.
This is a process. Not an event.
The first step is truly acknowledging, naming, feeling, and fully witnessing the pain we have experienced from racial injustices—including how we have been complicit. That is what we will do together in our first ritual ceremony.
(donations welcomed & encouraged)
This is not a conversation about separation…
…except that the system we are dismantling separates us.
Our language sometimes separates us, too.
When we talk about the system, we must use the language of the system—just like doctors speaking with other doctors use medical language.
When we apply only spiritual language to conversations about systems of injustice and oppression, it causes a cognitive dissonance … keeping us all perpetuating the same cycle of shielding our hearts and not listening.
These 3 ritual ceremonies are about intentional pattern disruption. Part of the pattern disruption is going deep into our heart of compassion to tap into a fierce Love that changes the world.
so you can lead from your heart?

By making novel connections between seemingly disparate ideas she teaches on topics of Metaphysics, Consciousness, Society, Technology, and Design. Ava is a scholar of Psychology and Sociology at John F. Kennedy University and the University of Chicago.
I started writing out of the need to make sense of my life. I needed to refine my own insights about what it means to come of age in an era where nobody seems to know exactly what’s going on.
There are no rites of passage, no elder/youth relationships, no clear way through much of anything. Having dispensed of the few things holding us together, we’re all grasping at thin air, hoping to catch our breath.
Our stories and myths are changing, our sense of right and wrong is constantly being challenged. The foundation of our sanity is slipping away from us and as a collective, we’re not being wise about it.
Hopefully, these insights can help people understand the philosophical mechanics behind the cliches and memes. In crossing a little Joseph Campbell with James Baldwin, or a bit of Malidoma Some with some Dan Kahneman, I aim to get a glimpse of something that brings clarity.

Erin Hawkins, Ambassador, Diversity Expert, & Practical Mystic
Erin is a bridge between diverse worlds. She cannot be placed in a box: She straddles the realms of being a devoted Priestess of the Divine Feminine while also being an awakened, Christed woman and a leader in the United Methodist Church.
Erin refuses to stand for anything less than the universal truth that we are One. Simultaneously, she unconditionally embraces knowing that in order to recognize our inherent Oneness, we must acknowledge, honor, and respect the differences between us.
She values freedom and knows that we are at choice in every given moment; this allows us not to be defined by the experiences of our past, the roles that have been given to us, or the expectations of others; instead, we can choose to sit upon a throne of our own choosing.
Erin is a leader, redefining power as being the Voice of the Heart, possessing humility through compassion.
She is revered for being a beacon—an ambassador—of graceful courage and strength, inspiring this in others.
Through creating a sanctuary of love, Erin supports others in finding their uniquely authentic and noble spirit, encouraging them to embrace it and live life sourced from their inner divinity.
While bowing to her African American heritage, Erin accesses spiritual tools from diverse backgrounds and lineages, catalyzing women to surrender to the unknown and be an empty vessel of radical love so they may bestow that upon themselves and others, in service to all.

Rev. Dr. Linda Lee, Spiritual Counselor, Author & Kemetic Yoga Teacher
I work with women navigating their quest to spiritual freedom. This freedom aligns them with their inner power to intentionally manifest healing and wholeness for themselves and others—”to lay hold to the star in their wombs and make it strong in the splendor of the sun.” Moving toward this destination is accomplished by participating in the Journey of Auset: 9 Steps to Spiritual Freedom(© 2017).
The desired outcome of this journey is to increase the capacity for the spiritual freedom needed to fulfill our Divine purpose. Spirit Quest includes an exploration of timeless spiritual teachings from Kemet, African-centric and other spiritual and religious sources for 21st century living. Although this site is designed with women of African Descent in mind, all whose souls resonate with the spirit and intent of this site are welcome here.
I am an ordained clergy person, who completed the UM Two-Year Spiritual Formation Academy. My project from that experience is a ministry for Clergywomen of African Descent with a focus on health and wholeness called “Sacred Sisters.”
I earned an MDiv, and DMin degrees; my DMin subject was The Use of Ritual for the Spiritual Empowerment of Women of African Descent.
I edited a book called A New Dawn in Beloved Community and am a contributing writer to several other publications.
I am also a Certified Kemetic Yoga Teacher and practitioner, a Certified Scent Priestess, and a Qi Gong Student.

ACTIVATION & HEALING #1: Honoring Our Emotional Fires & Sparking the Flame of Compassion Replay Available on Registration
——–
With Lettie Sullivan, Kimberly Gunter, and Guests
During this first activation and healing ritual, we will get deeply into our hearts to feel the ferocity of all our emotions around oppression and injustice, moving it into the fires of compassion—all held within the flame of unconditional love and truth.
This allows us to move into our heart.
When we do that, we can intentionally change the consciousness of our world.
We must feel all of the hurt in our hearts: everything we may have been avoiding. So many of us still deny ourselves tears. All of the rage, all of the grief, all of the outrage will be welcomed, loved, and held during this ceremonial ritual.
Once our feelings are acknowledged and released, we will use ritual to ignite our compassionate hearts.
We will do this with unconditional love, gratitude, and unwavering faith in the power of our voices and the collective intent to dissolve systems of injustice.
We will do this swiftly & fully by:
- Seeing and acknowledging systemic injustices
- Naming the existing forms of oppression and inequality
- Feeling the passion and the ache that arises, witnessing and expressing it all
- Ritual with advisor & guide, Kimberly Gunter, “Love Is My Rebellion: The Role of Sacred Rage in the Healing Process”
- Fire Ceremony/Ritual of Release—we will withdraw our consent from the social constructs of injustice and oppression
Join us to extinguish the hierarchical systems of oppression by
intentionally dissolving them into inclusion and love.
(donations welcomed & encouraged)
ACTIVATION, DISCUSSION, & HEALING RITUAL #2: CONCEIVING A NEW SOCIAL CONSTRUCT OF HARMONY & SACRED UNION
With Lettie Sullivan, Solé (Aja Shah), Erin Hawkins, Jet Setting Jasmine & King Noire
Content & Trigger Warning: Adults Only
During this experience, we will move collective sexual shame through our bodies, transmuting it. We will also discuss the intersection of race, sex, abuse and trauma. Use your discernment during the ritual & discussion.
During this second activation, healing ritual, and discourse, we will identify collective and personal shame/powerlessness so that we can feel empowered to create a new social paradigm based on equity, harmony, and sacred union. We will do this through ritual, ceremony, and conversation with a diverse group of Black leaders—a ceremonialist, a hip-hop artist & healer, diversity expert & practical mystic, and a power couple who are sex educators doing racial equity work in the adult entertainment industry. We must address collective and personal shame in order to step into our full power—a power that will provide the much needed energy to continue the ‘marathon’ of dissolving racial injustice and all systems of oppression. Once we have experienced, in sacred ceremonial space, the up-swelling of shame we all carry, we will be blessed with a cleansing/healing water ritual by hip-hop artist, yogini, & healer, Solé (Aja Shah). From this place, we will enter a discussion with power couple, therapist, & adult entertainers, Jet Setting Jasmine & King Noire, to unpack how sexual oppression has historically been used as a powerful tool of domination with wide-reaching intersectionality. We will focus on how this has particularly affected Black and Brown bodies and psyches. Next, diversity expert, ambassador, & practical mystic, Erin Hawkins, will lead us in a powerful hieros gamos ritual (sacred union of the masculine and feminine) so that we feel harmony within us, invoking the possibility of transformation toward a new world of equity and love.During this activation, healing ritual, and discourse on dismantling shame, we will:
- Ground into the safety of our bodies
- Invoke the all-loving presence of the Great Mother to hold us in Her embrace
- In sacred space, begin to name and feel, then transmute, shame & powerlessness in our world and in ourselves
- Learn that social & sexual domination/oppression are historical tools of racism, resulting in shame & powerlessness
- Enter a water ritual to cleanse away systemic shame & powerlessness
- Begin a discourse about constructs of institutionalized sexual oppression & injustice where you’ll start understanding:
- The connection between the history of black bodies being subjected to hyper-sexualization/fetishizing and institutionalized sexual oppression
- Which has led to the erasure of consent—taking power away from some, and giving it to others
- That clearing shame & powerlessness opens us up to our inherent power
- Interpersonal power dynamics—including the power of our words, intentions, and seeking/giving consent
- How to come together in crisis to alchemize “power over” into “power with”
- The connection between the history of black bodies being subjected to hyper-sexualization/fetishizing and institutionalized sexual oppression
- Understand that when we activate our inherent power, we begin feeling a sacred, inner union within ourselves that is harmonious—providing needed energy for the ‘marathon’ of dismantling all systemic injustice & oppression
- Call-in a new paradigm of sacred union between the Divine Masculine & Divine Femimnine
- Enter a new, 2 week cycle of listening and feeling what is the new social construct we are ‘birthing’
