“I hold my authors in the center-point between deep support and accountability, meeting the needs of the moment so that they can ignite the flame that creates resonance in their writing and breaks through any blocks or resistance. Then, they discover a whole new level of aliveness, abundance, commitment to their path, and connection to themselves and their readers.” —Astara With years of deep healing and embodiment work behind her, Astara knows herself and her sacred purpose: to midwife women’s stories and wisdom—through their books—into a new cultural narrative that serves the Collective by amplifying the Rise of Divine Feminine energies. Her background in corporate publishing, Transpersonal psychotherapy, and Art therapy offers Astara’s clients the support they need to unearth their soul’s message, open their creative channel, and write their books from a place of authenticity and trust in the divine plan of their own becoming. Astara’s teachings are based on ancient knowledge and feminine principles of unity, connection, love, inclusivity, collaboration, community, equitability, and expansion. She has immersed herself in esoteric wisdom traditions as a Priestess Initiate of the 13 Moon Mystery School, and as a Scent/Anointing Priestess. Astara has studied with a 5th generation Essential Oils alchemist in Cairo, Egypt, and worked with sacred plant medicines and Shamans for over a decade. Astara knows the hurdles in navigating relationships, self-care, time with family, and running a 6-figure business. Her motto is: “Every creation must result in a win-win for all involved.” Her online writer’s group Published Priestess is a global sisterhood of authors who, in a safe space and strongly-held container, share their truth, write from the heart, and transform themselves by transmuting energy and embodying their higher self. Astara is the creator of the best-selling “New Feminine Evolutionary” collaborative book series, consisting of 7 books and hundreds of contributing authors. Through these potent writing collaborations, she helps women claim their power, their voice, and their visibility as a leader in their field. Flower of Life Press is devoted to dismantling systems of oppression and centering the voices of women of color. Their anthology, “Ancient-Future Unity: Reclaim your Roots, Liberate your Lineage, Live a Legacy of Love” released in the summer of 2021 and features the raw and real stories of 25 black feminine leaders. Astara recently birthed a new publishing imprint, Asherah Press, where the bestselling author of the Magdalene trilogy Kathleen McGowan now stands at the helm. Together, Astara and Kathleen have linked arms through their common mission to support the rise of the Divine Feminine through single-author books, anthologies, courses, events, and sacred travel. Astara’s logo, the Flower of Life, is an ancient symbol representing the energy of creation and the flow of potential. It is a reminder of the interconnectedness of life and the beauty of the universe. With this engine of transformation as its symbolic essence, Flower of Life Press is dedicated and devoted to the emerging voices of leaders and changemakers—all of those beings who seek a home for the conversation of change.
