Kind Words ~ Heart of the Rose
Heart of the Rose was such a rich, deep and healing journey with Rose and Rose Quartz. It is definitely a journey I did not want to end, as it felt like a cocoon of love and honouring the heart, deeper connection to my soul and self-compassion.
The rituals, altar pack and teachings felt like a coming home, a remembering - deep reverence for the Inner High Priestess and the heart as a gateway to Divine grace and love.
I felt it was a gift to my Ancestors as Rose weaved Grandmother love throughout.
Jo is the essence of Rose, grace and integrity, pouring so much loving support into the 3-month journey.
Witnessing and sharing in a circle of women is a gift and the most powerful way to bring about more heart healing. I will definitely return for another journey with Heart of the Rose.

I would recommend this course to any woman who truly wishes to undergo self healing and transformation.
This work is so powerful and the learning is lifelong and the connection with other sisters is so deeply fulfilling.
Having Jo as the facilitator deeply imbibes safety, security, warmth and so much love and support. She is gentle, wise, strong, joyful and deeply committed to helping women find parts of themselves which have become lost in the mêle of life.
This circle work is the most important work that a woman can undergo to reclaim herself with the power of love.

The Heart of the Rose has been a life changing experience. The opportunity to be in circle with other women, to be witnessed, was truly nourishing.
Jo lovingly created a safe space with the container where I felt supported.
My heart feels stronger. I’m leaning into my Feminine power with guidance from the teachings… I know the journey with my heart and Rose will continue.
As a woman my heart has felt many things. I would recommend the Heart of the Rose to any woman who wants to truly love herself and connect to her power.
Catherine
Heart of the Rose has come at a pivotal moment in my healing. The work I had been doing with my body and the psychological work with my therapist; these threads wove together through this container to bring my practices into a harmonious whole, to lead me back into a loving relationship with myself and with life.
I have gained so much from our focused connection to these benevolent Spirit Allies, a sense of regained magick in my life, along with the blessing of communal devotion felt within our group of wise women.
I think right now it is so important that we make a clear choice; I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to choose love in the face of adversity and challenge, this program will support you in your choice.
Thank you Sharon, thank you Jo and thank you to the Spirits of the container, I am ever grateful.

Heart of the Rose is a journey to understanding the foundations of your Soul. The journey helps to remodel these foundations in alignment with your highest heart self, yet also shows, in all its complexity and simplicity what it is to be human, through the teachings and reflections of unconditional love.
The container facilitates the deepest of coming home. Where your heart can truly rest and heal. You are divinely held here, by the facilitators and guides.
The teachings of love will transform you, the teachings of love can rebirth you. I highly recommend anyone curious enough to step deeper into the ways of the heart. Heart of the Rose will take you there and more.
Kira
Heart of the Rose was a breathtaking journey of coming back home to my Soul, my freedom and the ability to embrace self sovereignty on all levels.
Jo is an incredible teacher, medicine women and holds profoundly loving and safe container. I am beyond grateful to Sharon Bolt for the Empress of the Dragon. My life has completely transformed forever.
Daniela
The Heart of the Rose was truly a journey of magic and wonder.
The teachings are intricately woven threads of self-reflection, embodiment, accountability, history, gratitude, guidance and responsibility all delivered with joy and pure love. Lady Rose and Rose Quartz are powerful yet gentle guides and Jo’s exquisite space holding always ensures an exceptional level of care and support.
I recommend this programme for any women who wish to ignite their inner fire.
Sarah
The Empress and the Dragon - Heart of the Rose Program is a program unlike any other and I strongly recommend it to all women who want to deepen their relationship with themselves and their precious heart.
I come away from the 3 month container with a deeper love and respect for myself and my inner child. I also walk away with more respect, understanding and appreciation for my inner critic! In short I have learned to appreciate and accept more parts of myself.
I was able to heal some of the toxic shame I carried through the unburdening of secrets. I was also able to disentangle from the energy residue from past relationships. The program enabled me to drop in deeper into my heart and understand more of what it needs. I am very grateful to the spirits of the container - particularly Rose and Rose Quartz and I know they will be allies for life.
I felt very supported and seen by Jo. Her loving kind energy is perfect for this women's work. Much gratitude to Sharon for creating this work, Jo for holding the work and to all the spirits of the container. Thank you so much.

I have gained insight into the importance of connecting with my own heart consciously and on a regular basis - rather than being at the mercy of my emotional roller coaster.
I loved the ritualistic aspect of the whole work. It has helped me connect with the real me... Yes I still have my bad days, but the difference is that now I know how to reach in... to find the jewels inside my own heart rather than losing myself to external validation from another.
Luca
This container has allowed me to witness and commence to heal some very ancient sisterhood and Feminine wounds. Previously I would always shy away from any Feminine Spiritual containers due to feeling 'unworthy', from having that message relayed to me many times throughout my life by women (family members, friends etc) who projected their wounding onto me.
Through the love and connection with my beautiful sisters within the Heart of the Rose, I've come to remember what true, authentic love and support is and should always be.
This container has humbled me as Rose gave me the love and courage to look at my own projections and judgements to ultimately forgive myself and others.
Rose has also shown me how to sit in my power with unwavering love and devotion to the Heart with sacred Rose.
This magick and medicine has transformed me.
Jo De Pinto
Recently I had the pleasure to journey into my womb in the Heart of the Rose. The potency of these teachings really orchestrated my being alive in places where I didn’t even know existed. The container is held in the sacred & integral holding of the school of The Temple of Shamanic Magick and facilitated by the beautiful and attentive Jo.
What I’ve come to understand is that Spirit Work is no joke…. As founder Sharon says “ you can’t fake it till you make it with Spirit work” And there can be many many many layers. There also isn’t one way to go about it. Some individuals are deep divers and some take gentle steps to explore the multifaceted realm.
My relationship to the benevolence of Rose has significantly increased. 3 months before this container I wrote a poem to Rose (yes the flower) and I’m so humbled that the Queen of Flowers beckoned me here. This is only the very beginning I’m so very much looking forward to my deepening dialogue with rose. She holds a strong yet soft and gentle feminine energy that is an incredibly powerful teacher and healer.
What I am understanding is that womb work isn’t only about the balancing of hormones, yoni steaming, sensual pleasure and menstrual awareness. It’s also about spirit work. If our wombs are full of unprocessed emotions, dark spell magic, ancestral patterns, other people from past relationships and stagnancy form a lack of care. This will impact our outer reality.
Most of our own creation starts in our Wombs. It governs our creative life force that flows up our spine into actioning the feeling, healing & manifestations.
This intimate sisterhood container encourages one to find their own unique inner keys, to reclaim your magical inheritance and ancestral power. It is deeply self nurturing, loving and opens up new doors to relate with you… your womb, heart & mind. I’m truly grateful. Thank you so much.
Arabella
Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought how much a 3 month programme would change my life. To be honest I thought it would be sunshine and rainbows, not to say now the sun is shining brighter than I ever have felt and the rainbows have a new found beauty.
Yes there were some trying times - but I had to experience them, dance with my shadows, truly feel the stuff I’d not deeply felt before to then see what I had not seen before.
The Empress and the dragon Heart of the Rose was life transforming for me.
My heart is truly open for maybe the first time in my life, I feel like I’m radiating the frequency of love like you read about…. “Eat pray love” I’m in Bali!
The teachings are old and steeped in sacredness - I will use till I’m an old lady.
Jo is a teacher like no other, a participant said if Mother Earth had a face it would be Jo and I agree. She takes this work seriously, she has over 20 years experience and is the real deal. Her space is energetically clean and precise - when working with the mystic it needs to be.
I highly recommend this programme, I feel so lucky and honoured to have been able to take part in it.
Thank you Jo, Sharon & the White Dragon lineage for this life changing experience. I am indeed not the same person I was, I never thought it would be possible.

Heart of the Rose has initiated a reconnection and trust within myself and it has awakened my worthiness. It has provided me with such clarity on what has been (and which I have been able to release a lot of) and supported me in paving a way forward for my future.
Rose opened up my self responsibility. She offered a strong reminder of how love can open doors and let light in where it feels dark.
If your heart at times feels weak, if you feel like your path is overgrown, the nourishment you can receive from this Rose journey is phenomenal. It has changed my life.
Philippa
Heart of the Rose has been such a lovely (and confronting at times) experience. It encourages you to really look at how you love - yourself first and foremost. It will encourage you to spend time with and for yourself, to self nurture and nourish. It provides a very safe space to be open and vulnerable, to say out loud what you have held festering inside, releasing it to the Universe to clear and heal.
Thank you so much to Jo who guided us all through this program with such grace and love. Jo is the heart personified.
Thank you to Sharon Bolt for creating the Empress & The Dragon.
Cat
I recently journeyed into the Heart of the Rose with a beautiful circle of women inside The Empress and the Dragon Container. It was facilitated by the generous, caring and integral teacher, Jo.
It has been deeply healing and has brought so much more of me closer to love.
I am still in the transformation and will be integrating for a lifetime.
Thank you so much for bringing these simple and powerful teachings into an offering that is so needed in these times. I have been feeling so appreciative for how present, generous, loving and gracious you have been. Such a potent and gentle space holder.
I am forever grateful.
Angel
I can safely say that the Heart of the Rose container has been one of the most nourishing and soul reconnecting spaces I’ve had the privilege to be in. I cannot thank Jo and The White Dragon Lineage enough for this beautiful training.
I gained so much and it feels even months later that I’m still unfurling and gaining more. Jo is an incredible facilitator, who embodies everything Rose is, bringing grace, strength and integrity to the space.
To anyone who could do with some heart healing or heart reconnecting, I highly recommend this training!
With such deep gratitude. Thank you for what will continue to support me for the rest of my life.
Lauretta
I was lucky enough to be part of Jo’s transformational Heart of the Rose journey this year. I felt an embodied yes to be part of it and yet, I really had no idea what I had signed up to! I had really signed up to be part of anything Jo does as she is a true healer and beautiful space holder.
The journey was truly life-changing.
I started with painful self-aversion and I sought self-love. I touched a love within that I hadn’t touched before. It also felt rebellious to be part of this journey in a deeply moving and empowering way.
It was so touching to be part of a deep experience and be doing it with other wonderful, supportive women. We were expertly facilitated by Jo and held in a container of pure love, compassion and safety. Jo is a true gem and if you feel resonance with the Heart of the Rose, I highly recommend you follow your heart’s call .
Belinda
After some hesitation as to whether I should sign up for Heart of the Rose, I’m so grateful I said yes!
I had some reservations about doing such a course online, however, I was amazed at how connected I felt to this group of women even though we never met in person. The simple gesture of a group of women joining in circle with openness and vulnerability was deeply healing within itself, something I believe all women should experience.
Though some time has now passed since our closing ceremony, the teachings of Lady Rose still remain with me. I’ve felt a healthy (and much needed!) shift in my perspective that has brought about more positivity and trust into my life as well as a steady boost and consistency to my creativity and artistic pursuits.
If you feel drawn to Heart of the Rose, I highly recommend answering the call! Jo is such a gentle, compassionate and generous space holder, I can’t imagine a better person to guide you along the way.
Isabella
I have recently completed “Heart of the Rose” led by my very dear friend and teacher Jo.
Working with Lady Rose has not been easy. She has showed me truths about myself that have been sitting under the surface, I’ve faced fears deep in my heart, so much healing has occurred as I’ve released past heartbreaks, some I hadn’t realised I still held on to.
I’ve emerged softer, more resilient, wiser and more vulnerable. Lady Rose can be soft and sweet and beautiful but she also has her thorns and it was working with this medicine that I found an inner strength.
Lady Rose has revealed so much to me and I know she has not quite finished with me yet.
This work is transformational and I can not recommend Jo enough. She is amazing, kind and sweet and she will hold you just like Lady Rose.
I love you dearly my friend. Thankyou so much to you and the incredible women that walked beside me on this journey together.
Jeanette
The Heart of Rose container filled my life with something I didn’t know I was missing, but I needed.
I was surrounded by a circle of strong women, all from different backgrounds, who shared themselves so courageously. This way of meeting changed by outlook completely, it was so healing.
The group was led by Jo, who always serves for the higher good. I couldn’t have done this with anyone but her. She is authentic, caring and compassionate.
Your hearts are truly in goods hands with her and I would recommend this to all women.
You aren’t pushed to do anything you don’t wish. If you feel a calling - follow that.
I leave this container, now leading more from the heart. My feelings are safe and my appreciation for beauty are allowed in this world and can be at the forefront.
Thank you Jo for being exactly who you are. I’m forever grateful to you.
Emily
Thank you Jo for your space holding, honesty and beautiful heart in this space.
Rachel
Jo Thank you for everything - Your authenticity, safety and heart.
I couldn’t have done this with anyone but you leading the group. When you said to us during a call once, “Your hearts are in good hands”- I was able to believe that, because I believed you.
Thank you for always showing up, taking on the responsibility and being all that you are.
I’ll be forever grateful to you.
Emily
The Heart of the Rose, 3-month container - it finished too soon, I wished it never ended!
Jo has an authentic and warm approach and a deep connection to Rose and to Rose mysteries. Her Circles and Teachings are so gentle and felt through her warmth and loving approach.
Even though being online, I felt safe to share my deepest Heart experiences. It was so genuine and welcomed by Jo and our group of a supportive Circle of sisters. There was so much love and support amongst us all.
Each week I so looked forward to the teachings with Jo about the Rose Mysteries and the Rituals.
Working with Rose was a new beginning for me. It inspired me to build a relationship with myself, to open my heart and work with Rose medicine on a deeper level.
If you feel drawn to Rose, I recommend doing this container. As you open each layer with your heart you will also be building a relationship with Rose medicine. The most beautiful flower of them all!
