Please note:

There is no fixed timeframe or imposed limit on how long a Covener may remain within a Degree. Progress through THE COVEN Study Program is self-paced, allowing each Covener the space to learn, integrate, and develop naturally. Growth is measured not by speed, but by understanding, experience, and the deepening of personal power in one’s own time.

​

THE COVEN Study Program is a carefully structured and deliberately outlined guide, designed to lead each Covener toward the discovery of their own path. It provides a foundation of knowledge, practice, and reflection through which personal understanding and individual belief may be formed and refined.

The Council of Elders is always available to offering guidance, clarification, and support. Through their experience and wisdom, they assist Coveners in navigating their studies, deepening their practice, and honoring the journey as it unfolds.
