The Covina Institute works on a system of paid student subscription plans.

Covina comes from the Latin word meaning to come together for a shared purpose. Within the gates of our institute, you'll find the keys of psychology, spirituality and the traditional wisdom of the goddess meeting at the crossroads of learning, transcendence, and kinship.

At Keeping Her Keys, The Covina Institute is the soul school of learning through courses included with membership and advanced study in master courses, plus live online events including medicine circles, meditations, moon lodges, rituals, salons and workshops. The courses included with membership are self-directed so you can work through them at your own pace.
