Join us as we honour the Sacred Rite of Passage from Maiden to Mother for the new Mama’s in our community ❤️

Closing of the Bones is a postpartum healing ceremony. Created to nurture the mother after her passage through giving birth, and her journey into motherhood. It is a celebration, a setting of sacred space, and a way to nurture Mum & baby. A way to create a moment of stillness, of meditative peace and reflection in the rollercoaster of emotions of new motherhood.

To register for the ceremony, please send us a DM as there are limited spaces available.

We will also require participants to help facilitate the ceremony and hold babies so please join us if you feel called ✨

Many put their focus in preparing for their birth, though it’s only a one time event.

The days, weeks and months following the birth of our baby is a sacred journey of learning one another, stepping fully into who you are as a mother and taking on the world together.

It’s beautiful, raw and at times, challenging.

This is why it’s so important to build a community that you can depend on for support.

Our hope is to help create these supportive spaces for the Mama’s in our community who lack the support they desperately desire.

Keep an eye out for upcoming prenatal villages, circles and more in your area! ✨

In the final weeks of pregnancy and into postpartum, the Mother often feels an internal calling to retreat. I call this “The Cocooning” ✨

So why do we do this? Why do we have this instinctual need to stay in the safety of our home to nest and prepare for our baby’s arrival?

Instinctively we all have a calling to retreat to safety, just as other expecting mammals and creatures do.

Not only does retreating offer physical safety, but mental/emotional safety as well.

During our transition from Maiden to Mother, we become extremely vulnerable to our surroundings, that includes the energy of others.

It’s important that we honour this vulnerability by blocking out those who may be unsupportive of our journey. Step away from any fear mongering, manipulation, negative birth stories and projections and step deeper into your intuitive knowing.

Your body knows how to birth, and your intuition will guide you as you step into the sacred role of a Mother.

Allow yourself to honour and trust your inner knowings, and slip away into the safety of your cocoon ✨

This series highlights how we as women have been conditioned to suppress some of the most vital aspects of our emotional, sensual, psychological & spiritual landscapes, in order to keep up to the unattainable & limited standards of patriarchal femininity.

This 3-part workshop series is an antidote to these structures & and an invitation to open to the hidden and denied aspects of self ( the shadow), in order to reclaim your natural, embodied aliveness as a women.

Day 1: Foundations Of
Shadow Work

-How & why the shadow develops
-Why we experience shame & why we fear to be honest, authentic & vulnerable in the way we relate to ourselves & others.
-How to become aware of your own shadow through tracking the ways we seek validation & approval & project unintegrated shadow aspects onto other people
- How to start to feel safe to express authentically, be honest & feel in deeper connection to yourself & others

Day 2: Dismantling Internalized Misogyny in Women

-How internalized misogyny shows up in our thoughts, beliefs, attitudes & bodies as women.
- Slut shaming
-Threat, jealousy & competition between women
-The objectification of the body vs. Inhabitation of the body

Day 3: Embodying Feminine Intelligence

We will integrate the teachings from the first two days into the body. You will gain trauma-informed resources to cultivate a somatic sense of safety in order to come into contact with the deep feminine- your direct, felt experience of embodied presence, as a way to meet yourself in your essential, core nature.

A big thank you to Somatic Institute for Women for creating this beautiful offering for us to immerse ourselves in! Link to register is on our website event page ❤️
