Intermediate Classes
The Intermediate Class is designed for students who wish to expand the depth of
their knowledge, and learn more about the Netjeru, the Kemetic religion, and themselves.
It is a pre-requisite for those who seek ordination as a Hem Netjer Priest
and hope to found their own temples.
Pre-requisite: Completion of the Per Ankh Beginning Class.
Unlike the Beginning Class, the Intermediate Class is freely structured so that you
can enter it at any time. The class is geared to be finished (at a minimum) within 1 ½ years, if the student
wishes, or can be extended if the student wishes to proceed slowly.
In this program you will:
Set achievable personal goals for yourself
Discover more about ritual workings
Learn about dreams, oracles, and trance work
Understand how culture and religion work together
Continue to learn more about advanced energy and healing work.
Learn the symbology behind the mythology of Kemet.
Discover much, much more...about Kemet and yourself...
Elements of the program consist of:
| Monthly Private Consultations |
Each student will have a private consultation (telephone or in-person)
with one alternating faculty member each month. This consultation is an opportunity
to discuss the student's progress in private practice, personal and external challenges,
ask questions, get suggestions and encouragement, and participate in the process of reporting
and following one's spiritual path.
At least one week before the consultation, the student will submit their Monthly Report.
|
| Private Practice |
Each student adds more onto their Private Practice Plan
that was created in the Beginning Class. In addition to what the student is
already practicing, they will work with advanced rites to the Netjeru,
and plan with the faculty two new key elements:
Personal Challenge
External Challenge
|
| Personal Challenge |
An integral part of a student's Private Practice is a Personal
Challenge. Part this experience is to become a person that the
student loves and respects. In creating a Personal Challenge, the student will
reflect and decide upon a part of their inner selves they wish to change.
The Personal Challenge will be a plan of simple, small, but regular steps to take
in the direction of this change, commitment to this plan, and then the implementation.
The faculty must approve of the Personal Challenge, who might discuss
and make suggestions to the student about their Personal Challenge and how
to help meet it.
|
| External Challenge |
Most people have a comfort zone from which they do
not want to explore beyond. However, an important part of component of any experience is to
grow beyond oneself, and to bring together mind, body, and spirit.
To accomplish this goal, the student is expected to create and commit to a plan
that makes them learn a skill outside of their usual comfort zone. Examples might include:
martial arts, dance, music, form of arts and crafts, skiing, ice-skating, etc.
Each student decides on a course of action, which will be approved by the faculty
who might make suggestions.
|
| Monthly Report |
Continuing in the same vein as the Beginning Class, the student
is expected to keep a journal of their experiences and activities. Each month,
the student must submit a "Monthly Report" to the teachers. This report
is to help the faculty understand where the student is in their studies. It can include
anything from: reports of trances/dreams, excerpts of the student journal, experiences of the
Netjeru. The student uses this venue to tell the faculty how their personal goals
and challenges are being met, any concerns or problems they might have.
The Monthly Report is discussed with the student during their Monthly Private Consultation
