The Order of the Black Rose

We focus on the practical realization of oneness—understanding that to connect deeply with ourselves as women, with each other, and with nature is to experience all as an extension of our own being. Our practice includes unique and transformative methods such as yoga, ecstatic dance, Tarot and other unconventional approaches that foster self-discovery and connection.

We embrace an inclusive vision of womanhood, welcoming queer, trans, and non-binary individuals who seek to join a community dedicated to growth and empowerment. We celebrate the diversity of all races, ethnicities, religious traditions, professions, and levels of experience. Above all, we invite anyone who seeks to walk the path toward pure nature, truth, self-love and compassion, through meditation, community of women, and a deeper connection to the world around them.
