Moonsong
Moonsong workshop explores and honours our menstrual cycle and life seasons, the influence of the lunar cycle and the earth’s seasons, the spiritual practice of menstruation and the transformative power of our rites of passage.
Gathering as women in circle in this workshop space is a reclamation – a Re-Membering – of our cyclical wisdom and power…
Together we’ll remember the Herstory, where we have come from and how we find ourselves here in a culture that devalues our female bodies.
Together we’ll recall our menarche, our first blood, and all that this rite-of-passage taught us about what it means to be a woman.
Together we’ll create a map of the cycles by which to orient ourselves and alter our perspective.

Shamanic Dimensions of Pregnancy
Shamanism is a worldview that sees all things as interconnected. We use that word in the title of this workshop to indicate that when we create, when we birth babies/projects/ourselves, we bring our whole selves to the process, our experiences, our stories – especially from the pivotal times of our rites of passage (our own birth, our menarche, our sexual experiences, our previous birthing experiences, etc). We also bring the experiences and stories of those who have come before us, our mothers and grandmothers, our ancestors.
Likewise, we honour that today we create and birth in a cultural context that generally fails to acknowledge the sacred, multi-dimensional nature of birth (in all its forms) and undervalues women’s experience and truth. In bringing awareness to these ‘invisible’ influences, we increase our agency and power to birth in positive, life-giving ways – whole selves intact! – and our ability to digest our birthing experience, whether positive or traumatic.

Becoming a Woman
These gatherings are an introduction to the menstrual cycle for girls, pre and post menarche, and their mothers. It is an experiential workshop focussed on the girls, teaching the wisdom of the cycles, demystifying the menstrual cycle and teaching the spiritual and physical opportunities inherent in the cycle.
Sacred Blood
Sacred Blood brings together circle work, deep sharing in the sisterhood, drum journeying and creating a sacred potion of blood, infused with the energy of the sisters in circle. Painted with this magick we journey for initiation and return blood women, holding the power of our sacred blood.
Medicine Drum Making
Making your own Medicine Drum is a sacred process of discovery and healing. In this workshop you will make your own deer skin medicine drum over a two day process which dives deep into your birth story and imprint, takes you on a journey to meet the spirit of your animal and brings you new insight into your creative process.
Please be in touch if you are interested in birthing your drum.
