River Cleanse Procedure
No Judgment and NO COACHING. Just holding space.
✓ Sister 1: “What would you like to River Cleanse today and for how long?”
✓ Sister 2: “I would like to river cleanse on [river cleanse item] for [time]” (Example: fear, relationship with my mom, stress, college, etc.) (5-15 minutes, don’t recommend over 15)
✓ Sister 1: “Thank you. In the sanctity of our sisterhood without judgment and held in total
confidence, what do you have on [river cleanse topic]?”
✓ Sister 2: “[answer]” (talk about the river cleanse item)
✓ Sister 1: (A) “ Thank you. What else do you have on [river cleanse topic]?”
✓ Sister 2: (B) “[answer]” (talk about the river cleanse topic)
✓ Repeat A & B. Every time Sister 2 pauses, Sister 1 encourages by saying, “Thank you. What else
do you have on [river cleanse topic]?” When the time is getting closer to the agreed time limit...
✓ Sister 1: “Thank you. You have 3 more pulls left. What do you have on [river cleanse topic]?
(meaning Sister 1 will ask three more times of ‘What else do you have on [river cleanse item]?’)
✓ Sister 2: “[answer]” (talk about the river cleanse topic) ✓ Sister 1: “Thank you. You have 2 more pulls left. What do you have on [river cleanse topic]?”
✓ Sister 2: “[answer]” (talk about the river cleanse topic) ✓ Sister 1: “Thank you. This is your final pull. What do you have on [river cleanse topic]?”
✓ Sister 2: “[answer]” (talk about the river cleanse topic) ✓ Sister 1: “Thank you Sister[ her name]. This concludes your river cleanse on [river cleanse topic].
It’s been an honor and pleasure to hold space for you, may I have a TRINITY?”
✓ Sister 2: “I brag......”
✓ Sister 1: “Well bragged.”
✓ Sister 2: “I am grateful for......”
✓ Sister 1: “Thank you.”
✓ Sister 2: “I desire......”
✓ Sister 1: “And so shall it be, or something even better beyond your wildest dreams. Coming to you at the speed of light, with dripping diamonds and PEARLS!”
✓ Switch Sister positions and repeat procedure above.
​
​
After doing a River Cleanse, the Sisterhood always recommends a Trinity.
A Trinity is where you get to reflect.
​
-
Your Brag – what you are proud of
-
Your Gratitude – what you are grateful for (nothing is too small or too big)
-
Your Desire – what you want to happen/attract (stating them out loud can be very powerful)
Sisters on the River Cleanse
Jonalyn, Goddess of Love
I also learned a lot more things about myself in the process....and what a beautiful process it is. I have a BSS who will lovingly hold space for me as I go through life, this is something that I will forever be thankful to Athena Sisterhood for!
Suelyn, Goddess of Healing
It makes me feel clean from the inside out and my feelings have been transformed from negative to positive energy! Forgiveness and constant never-ending improvement of myself emotionally and spiritually.
Candie, Goddess of Courage
There are times when the chatter in my head is just too loud. Discovering the River Cleanse has been an amazing outlet for me. I feel safe to say anything, even if it sounds petty. The more I express, the deeper I go, and the quieter the chatter becomes.
