Autumn Book Group: Descent & Rising

September 23rd- December 2nd

Women’s Stories & The Embodiment of The Inanna Myth

When life falls apart, it can feel like the end. But what if those moments of unraveling were actually part of an ancient, time-honored path?

This autumn, join us for an intimate 8-week women’s book group exploring Descent & Rising by Carly Mountain — a powerful weaving of personal stories, deep feminine wisdom, and the ancient Sumerian myth of the goddess Inanna.

Inanna’s story is more than a myth — it’s a map for the heroine’s journey. Together, we’ll walk through each stage of descent and rising, connecting the wisdom of thousands of years to the lived experiences of modern women.


What We’ll Explore

This book that explores the transformative power of the feminine journey of descent and rising, drawing parallels between the ancient myth of Inanna and the real-life experiences of women.

This book is for those seeking to understand and navigate personal transformations, especially during times of crisis, breakdown or when facing profound life changes.

Over 8 weeks, we will move chapter by chapter, diving into:

  • Descent — the initiatory plunge into loss, grief, and transformation.

  • The Underworld — meeting the shadows and reclaiming our truth.

  • Rising — integrating what we’ve gathered and returning to the world renewed.

We’ll share in heart-centered discussions, embodied reflections, and gentle practices that help us anchor these teachings in our own lives.
