In the Egyptian Cosmology, Maåt, (a beautiful winged woman who balances the deceased's heart against a feather after the journey in the Duat) does not judge: she is consciousness itself and also the individual consciousness that each person carries in her heart - for she is both the motivating force and the goal of life. She is invoked on all occasions; she is omnipresent. Maåt moves and directs existence and Maåt is its ultimate treasure.
"Maåt is Cosmic consciousness, the ultimate goal of creation and of every creature, the immortal fruit of a constant acquisition. Maåt is the greatest treasure that a being might wish for." from Egyptian Mysteries by Lucy Lamy (Thames on Hudson Press)
The Ministry conducts a number of creative workshops and worldwide healing retreats which can be found in IONE's listings on these pages. Women's Mysteries: For Women Who Want to Go Deeper is the largest program of the Ministry and offers trainings in the intuitive arts for women. A series of Initiations offers women the opportunity to do their own healing work in the world with the Ministry's certification. Private counseling and intern and apprenticeship programs are also a part of the Ministry.
