Cacao Ceremonies | Women’s Circles | Mother Blessings | Rites of Passage Gatherings

This is SOUL medicine, women have gathered throughout time, to connect with themselves, each other, nature and the seasons. Women have a need to gather with like minded souls to tend and befriend, care for each other, share and validate life experiences. For many women though, female friendships and interactions can sometimes feel unsafe, triggering even intimidating. With the rise of Instagram and the pressure of curating a divinely beautiful share worthy aesthetic space, the true value of holding an inclusive, warm and safe space has been given less importance. Yes, sitting in a beautiful space feels lovely, but the true power of circle is the ability to be vulnerable, sharing deeply from the heart, feeling heard and held (not judged).

I hold a deeply nurturing circle, with firm agreements in place to ensure your heart and mind are free to express themselves authentically during our time together.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. 

—Marianne Williamson

Circle offers us a pause in our busy lives, to step out for a moment, to unravel (our thoughts, our body and spirit) and through connection, sharing and witnessing others in the liminal space - transformation can occur. We reweave ourself, we put ourselves back together, taking what we want and leaving behind whatever we’ve out grown. This is the magic! This is why we feel amazing after sitting in circle.

Ways we can gather in Circle

I hold regular Circles in my Studio in Glass House Mountains, these are open circles for women to attend. These may be based around Moon phases or seasonal cycles/sabbats. I’m available to hold circles for small groups for any occasion - mother blessings, wedding blessings, birthday celebrations etc. Please get in touch to find out how we can work together and share in Circle Medicine.

 devotion

Why have a devotion ceremony? Because you’re important and your experience in this lifetime matters!

Come sit in ceremony with me as we hold space in pure devotion to you and everything that’s happening in your world. It’s so important we acknowledge our achievements and how far we’ve come. Devotion ceremonies can be as simple or lavish as you like. Each devotion ceremony is created and offered just for you, elements included are planned together and carefully curated. This devotion ceremony could be planned as a 1:1 ritual with me or as a small intimate gathering of your closest friends (2-3 friends) to celebrate you crossing this threshold - share stories, make declarations, honour your past and call in future.

Reasons to receive a devotion ceremony….

• Releasing ceremony - leaving a job, a relationship or business

• Birth closing - this can be in the immediate postpartum or many years later

• Womb awakening for conception - birth debrief and clearing before planning another baby

• Birthday celebration - for any age!

• Calling in something new - a new job, relationship, financial abundance

• Moving into a new phase of life - initiation into womanhood, Maiden to Mother, Maga (peri-menopause + menopause), transitioning to the wise Crone

Just imagine

You feel the stillness growing in your womb, you know you are entering menopause - you’ve heard the stories about ‘the change’ from your mother and aunties and those stories were not something you’ve looked forward to. You want to re-write this experience for yourself, you KNOW there is a deep wisdom ready to be unlocked and embraced. Because seriously life can’t be ‘ending’ just as you enter your 50’s? Can it? It’s time to celebrate the coming of your “Second Spring” (thank you Jane Hardwicke-Collings for sharing this term). Moving from Mother to Maga through the rite of passage of menopause is something to celebrate, a time to declare your arrival and write a new story to take forth into the new season of your life. You decide to hold a devotion ceremony for yourself and you ask your two closest friends to come along. We begin with a cacao ceremony, to open our hearts and connect even more deeply. Next we have a guided meditation to call ourselves present and really anchor into the moment. We have a sharing circle, not to offer advice but to witness and hold tenderly each life experience. We could incorporate a creative activity, movement + dance, mindfulness practice, shamanic drum journey, a discussion about the cycles of life and the seasons……. Whatever you choose, this is all about celebrating you!
