You said YES! To locating your deepest power as a woman, activating your internal navigation system, and plugging into your raw goddess energy. Ready to begin? Then you’ve landed in the perfect spot!
This is the Student Dashboard where you’ll find every last resource you need to thrive in GPS*. Consider it your roadmap for how to navigate and participate in each component of the course, while getting the absolute most out of our six-week immersion.
In order to fully benefit from GPS*, it’s important that you participate in all the elements: Monday Calls, Breakout Rooms, homework assignments, reviewing the Video Archive, Practice Calls, and reaching out to your fellow Sister Goddesses for support when you desire or need it.
Just observing the Monday Calls is not enough. Remember, being a Sister Goddess is ACTIVE, not passive. Push yourself to go for it!
And...always remember that everything on offer here is an invitation, and to take things at your own, sacred pace. Learning about the ancient goddess traditions and modern turned-on practices is deep work with the capacity to impact your entire personhood — you will experience changes in your emotional landscape, and the way you think. So be sure to take extra good care of yourself during these six weeks. Drink water, rest deeply, eat healthy foods, exercise, and respect that change occurs on all levels: body, mind, and soul.
Important: In order to create the juiciest and safest space for every student in GPS*, please carefully read through all the information in this Dashboard, especially as it pertains to confidentiality and how to protect the security of this container.
Find your local number here.
You can find the call schedule below.
You can access the recordings of the Q&A once they are posted HERE in in the above Quick Links.
Breakout rooms are 30-minutes right after Q&A — 1:30-2 pm EST every Monday. It's a beautiful way to connect more deeply with the course material and each other.
Week 6 - Breakout Room Prompts
You will be put in a breakout room with 3-4 goddesses.
We come from a deflecting culture where we don’t acknowledge compliments (send it right back, talk down about it). There will be lots of resistance - it’s totally normal. You might even think “this is not my thing”
First SG will be in the hot seat - she will receive a round of compliments from each of the other Sister Goddesses in the pod. Her only response to each compliment will be the phrase “Thank you, it's true.”
After each compliment, she will say, “Thank you, it's true”.
Once the compliments are complete - The woman in the hot seat will talk about what came up for her (in her body and mind), when she was receiving the compliments.
Once the goddess is complete - you will switch and have a new goddess in the hot seat.
After all goddesses have gone - Each Goddess says her favorite frames of herself and of the course!
Once that is done - the exercise is complete !! And you can leave the breakout room.

GPS* Practice Calls are your opportunity to feel, embody, and practice all that you’re learning with your sisters. These calls are open to all students and held four times a week on Zoom. They are 30 minutes in length, and hosted by a combination of staff members and Pleasure Revolutionaries. Each call represents a different theme and series of exercises, so no two are the same. Because these calls are shorter in length — and we want you to get the most you possibly can out of them — we ask that you please try to join by the top of the hour.
Practice Call Dates:
Oct. 12-15, 19-22, 26-29,
Nov. 2-5, 9-12, 16-19, 23-26
Practice Calls take place at the following times:
The theme, flavor, and focus of each call will change depending on the day of the week. See below for a schedule and description of what to expect:
Tuesdays, 6 PM - 6:30 PM ET
Tuesdays are dedicated to the Swamping tool. Swamping is an embodied movement practice that we use to release, process, and move through our dark emotions. To learn more about the mechanics of Swamping and how it works, check out this handy-dandy, how-to guide right HERE.
Optional Props: Wear dark-colored, comfortable clothing, give yourself lots of space to move, pillows or towels to throw or hit hard surfaces, knee pads.
Wednesdays, 10 AM - 10:30 AM ET
Wednesdays are dedicated to brags about manifestation pertaining to our personal and collective desires, however big or small. Join these calls for a chance to brag and be witnessed in your shine. To notice and celebrate every juicy drop of what you’re calling in and creating.
Optional props: No props necessary but we recommend wearing a cute pair of underwear!
Thursdays, 6 PM - 6:30 PM ET
Consider Thursdays your weekly turn-on intensive. We are going to throw the full-throttle, gale-force winds of turn-on into both our personal and collective desires. This call is all about getting seductive with the universe and dancing our desires into being.
Optional props: Pillow.
Fridays, 12:00 - 12:30 PM ET
Fridays are focused on the exploration and expansion of pleasurable sensation. You will have the opportunity to practice worshipping your Pussy. When your Pussy is acknowledged and appreciated, you can hear her even more clearly. These calls will offer a guided ritual and pussy-centered meditation, led by a staff member.
Optional props: Candle, three pebbles, lingerie, lube.
The homework assignments for each week of GPS* are laid out for you in your Student Workbook, and will be posted here and shared via email every Monday.
You will be assigned weekly activities that include journaling, reading, watching films, practicing the tools, and engaging with your sisters and Pleasure Partner.
IMPORTANT: The GPS* homework is essential to your understanding of the course, so please make time each week to complete the assignments. Access your workbook pages below (or via email).
Reawakening the story of my Pussy.
Co-conspiring with the divine.
Radical approval.
Turn-on no matter what.
Making a Pussy friendly world.
Serving the goddess in you.
We have gathered a library of Tools & Resources to support you in this course. You’ll find information and access to the following:
The GPS* 2021 Facebook group is the vehicle we use to host your weekly “Ask a Pleasure Revolutionary” Q&A. It serves one purpose, and one purpose only. All other resources and links can be accessed right here, on our Student Dashboard.
The Facebook group will be active and available for two days each week: starting at 8 a.m. ET on Thursdays through 6 p.m. ET on Fridays.
This group will be self-regulated with the oversight of trained staff members from Mama Gena’s team. What does that mean? It means that we trust you and your fellow GPS* members – along with a select number of trained staff – to be the eyes and ears of this group. To quote the New York City MTA, if you see something, say something.
Women are uniquely perceptive, and part of your journey in this course is learning to listen to those intuitive tugs that keep us alert, aware of our surroundings, and above all, safe. If you see, hear, or experience something that feels “off” or offensive within the GPS* community, we ask that you reach out to info@mamagenas.com to let us know ASAP, so that we may address the issue accordingly.
The following red flags apply to all interpersonal aspects of the GPS* course – virtual or in-person – whether you’re interacting on Zoom, engaging with a Pleasure Partner, or asking a question in the Student Q&A thread on Facebook:
There are rules to being a Sister Goddess, and the way we use the privileges of the Sister Goddess community has a specific structure that must be observed.
Take a moment to absorb and commit yourself to these agreements prior to participating in class. Your continued access to the program hinges on your ability to comply with the guidelines below.
As a student in GPS* 2021, I pledge the following:
By agreeing to these rules, you understand that if you are in violation of any of the agreements in this pledge, you will be removed from the program.
Thank you for joining us in this sacred pledge.
We also ask that you follow these online rules when engaging as a community online.
What to do if you have emotional charge with another student, Mama Gena, the Staff, or the School of Womanly Arts?
If you are feeling a negative emotional charge towards another student, staff, or the School itself, here is how to act responsibly: Spring Clean. Spring Cleaning is a confidential exercise. Grab a Sister Goddess and use the initials of the person with whom you have the charge instead of her name. Do 15 minutes of pulls. Repeat as necessary. Follow this with a list of gratitudes towards this person (you really won’t want to do this, but do it anyway). If your charge becomes unmanageable, contact a staff member for more suggestions. Remember, NEVER release charge on another student, staff, or the School in class, or within any of our online spaces. Your post will be deleted and you will receive a message from the Palace instructing you to follow the recommendations stated here. If this happens more than once, you risk being removed from the program.
IMPORTANT: You will be learning about the concept of “transparency” which means to reveal your true experience, to speak honestly, and to allow others to “see” you. This does not mean that you have been given permission to rant, vent, attack, bully, grandstand, or direct your anger, anxiety, or fear onto another human being.
You are expected to deal with your emotional charge towards another person by using the Tools. Once you have diffused your intense feelings, then you are ready to use the action of transparency. Transparency means having your feelings WITHOUT attacking and hurting another person, place, or thing.
What do you do if you’re in an emotional crisis?
The School of Womanly Arts does not provide mental health services or crisis intervention counseling. If you are in an emotional crisis, please contact the appropriate resource.
If we think you’re in an emotional crisis...
If your behavior and conduct in class directly implies that you are in an emotional crisis, you will be contacted by a staff member, referred to the numbers below, and given tips on which tools and practices might be useful. If you post language that raises alarm in our private Facebook group, your post will also be deleted and a message will be sent to you explaining the above.
If you’re experiencing a mental or emotional crisis that significantly interferes with your ability to participate in GPS* or disrupts other students, you may be asked to leave the program and encouraged to seek professional assistance, and more substantive forms of support.
While we always encourage you to digest your GPS* experiences in whatever way feels most authentic, we want to clarify how to speak about your experience outside of our private group.
Thank you for your help as we continue to create the safest and most sacred container for our work together.
Spaces that are considered public include:
The safety and power of the GPS* experience is co-created by each one of us, and we are so grateful for your divine cooperation. If you feel unsure of these guidelines, or have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to email us at info@mamagenas.com.
There are so many ways to be successful in GPS*, and we want you to try them all! Sister Goddess is a verb, not a noun. You will not be saved, rescued, or “fixed” in this program. You will not get someone else to solve your challenges here. You will be taught how to take the reins of your happiness and to drive yourself and your life in the direction of your desires and joy. The result is that you walk away impassioned, inspired, and more in love with yourself than you thought possible...but to get there, you have to go ALL in.
Plan to be uncomfortable.Your old beliefs will be challenged, you will be invited to behave in ways that feel awkward or “not you.” You may even get mad at Mama Gena or your sisters as you choose to stretch and grow outside your usual comfort zone. Your deep emotional responses are encouraged and required. In GPS*, you will not turn your computer off and leave the class behind. You will be asked to take what you are learning and apply it to the way you live your life right now.
You may experience resistance in this program. Resistance is your best friend in GPS* because it tells you that you have hit an emotional speed bump that requires your pleasure-filled attention. If you are feeling resistance in GPS*, you are on the right track. If you aren’t, ask yourself, how am I holding back? How can I step up my involvement and participation even more?
How does resistance show up? Here are some tell-tale signs:
Resistance shows up a little differently for everyone, so check in with yourself regularly. If you’re feeling adrift and disengaged, then take action right away. Jump on a Practice Call, text your Pleasure Partner, out yourself to another goddess, ask the Pleasure Revs a question, and above all, WORK the tools. Transparency has the power to transform your experience. A single share, or embodied exercise can change the course of your entire day. So show up exactly as you are, but show up nonetheless!

I am having difficulty finding a Pleasure Partner and/or a Spring Cleaning Partner. What can I do?
Finding a Pleasure Partner is easy! There are a couple key ways to locate a partner for the week: The best way to find a Pleasure Partner is to join one of our Breakout Rooms every Monday, where you’ll connect in real time with 2-3 other sisters. You will be encouraged to collect contact information from your fellow group members. You should leave with an idea of who your Pleasure Partner (or partners) will be for the week, and a means of connecting with them to practice the tools and HW!
If you missed the Monday Breakout, just head to our Sister Goddess Directory to locate someone in your time zone or location to practice with, and send them an email or text. (Note: please do not use the Directory for mass mailings of any kind! We recommend creating a template that can be sent to multiple women individually.) Still need help? Message a member of our team at info@mamagenas.com
Why didn’t a Pleasure Revolutionary answer my question?
The Pleasure Revolutionaries are available for questions on Thursdays from 8am - 10pm ET and Fridays from 8am - 6pm ET. So if your question is posted outside of those times, you will have to wait until the next “Ask A Pleasure Revolutionary” thread to participate.
I can't log on to the GPS* Facebook group.
