Long lost to our culture is
the trust in life, deep knowing and connection to all things inherent in the wisdom
of the seasons and cycles of a Woman's life.
Every Woman has direct access to this and can find a sense of balance and harmony missing
from a sanitised (disinfected and censored) modern life. Our blood cycles connect us to each
other, to the Earth, and to the Moon, yet we perpetuate a mythology that disregards this.
Hearing the stories and using ritual and ceremony, we can heal our past wounds, create new
attitudes to our bodies and new ways forward for ourselves, our daughters and their daughters.

We gather together…..dressed in the garments that remind us of the old times,
times that we know from our dreams and the few surviving stories from far away lands.
Dress up if you wish, and dress comfortably, expressing yourself however you choose!
We gather together…..recreating the Moonlodge, the Red Tent, the Sacred Grove,
we shall be amongst the Elements, beneath the planets and the stars - in the places where
Women have always met. We will remember our connection with the Earth and the Moon. We will
journey to our wombs using shamanic drumming to bring back the much needed information and
guidance that resides within our sacred creative centre.
We gather together…..to re-member who we are, to put ourselves back together
in the order and shape that feels right, of our nature, our essence. We will remember the
relevance of our life seasons and the rites of passage that configure them – the menarche,
childbirth and menopause.
We gather together…..to reawaken our connection with the Women’s Mysteries
through transformative, experiential, creative and spiritual processes. We will reconnect
with the magic and alchemy inherent in our menstrual cycles and reawaken the spiritual
practice of menstruation.
