Reclaiming Our Rites of Passage
Remembering the Women's Mysteries
In today’s modern world our Rites of Passage through life are largely undervalued, misunderstood or overlooked for the profound opportunity for personal growth and transformation that they hold.
In this immersive five-part series I will journey with you to explore, heal and gain inner wisdom, through remembering the Women’s Mysteries and Reclaiming our Rites of Passage in life.
This is Powerful Ancient Wisdom for Modern Women Today.
Five-part immersive series
Reclaiming our Rites of Passage is offered as a series of five one-day workshops, taking you on a healing journey through our major Rites of Passage in life, as women. These in-person workshops are offered over a few months. These days may be attended in-series as a holistic journey, or as stand-alone events.
We begin initially with Wise Woman Rising which is a prerequisite, providing a foundational wisdom base, before delving deeper into the Women's Mysteries.
The Wise Woman Rising day is then followed by four one-day workshops: Welcoming the Inner Maiden; Honouring the Mother; Unleashing the Maga and Embracing the Crone.

One-day workshops
While joining the five-part series offers the fullest experience, you may have a particular interest or focus on one or two specific life phases or Rite of Passages and wish to attend those relevant workshops as standalone.
What are the women's mysteries? How do our Rites of Passage influence our everyday lives?
We have many Rites of Passage in life; some seem rather “everyday” and others are profoundly significant.
Our Rites of Passage as women, The Women’s Mysteries, are significant times in our lives where we transition from one life phase to another. We are forever changed and transformed on every level of our being; physically, spiritually and emotionally and more. What occurs to us and around us during these times may have a lasting imprint as we move into the next life phase.
As women, our major Rites of Passage, the Blood Mysteries or Women’s Mysteries are;
- being born. (Birth Imprint)
- our emergence into young womanhood at menarche. (Maiden)
- our experiences around pregnancy and birth-giving as we enter our Mother life phase (whether that be with our own babies, or other ways we express creativity and nurture). (Mother)
- transitioning into our wise woman years through peri-menopause and menopause. (Maga. Sovereign Queen. Enchantress.)
- embracing the deep descent into our older years. (Crone)
- transitioning, dying and death.
They are each Shamanic experiences which connect us with our Soul Purpose in life.
These workshops will help you to not only remember and make sense of you experiences, they will also offer a potent healing opportunity to retrieve and integrate wounded or lost aspects of yourself.
If you are yet to transition through a particular Rite of Passage these workshops will prepare you well, on a Shamanic level, to traverse this terrain and provide an opportunity to access inner wisdom through all phases of womanhood.
When women reclaim and heal from any place of wounding around our Rites of Passage (for example reclaiming our menstrual cycle as potent, sacred and powerful, healing from birth trauma,
or experiencing menopause as an opportunity to embody phenomenal feminine power and purpose) a huge release of energy becomes available to us, it is as if a veil has been lifted and we see life in a whole new way.
A burden removed so we can move forward as Sovereign Women, Mistress and Authority of our own lives; shining our gifts to the world. Living our Life Purpose.
This is what our Earth needs now. Powerful healed Sovereign Women, willing to do the inner and outer work to shift the paradigm and change the world!
Wise Woman Rising
Wise Woman Rising is a one-day workshop oļ¬€ering an enlightening introduction to the Women’s Mysteries and is also the starting point for Reclaiming our Rites of Passage journey.
Find out moreWelcoming the Inner Maiden
This one-day workshop is for women of all ages to remember and rediscover the Maiden aspect of themselves.
We all still have within us the young girl, the Maiden, who we once were.
She is wild, fresh, innocent, carefree and has much to offer us now, should we choose to meet with her.
Our experiences around our Menarche, our Rite of Passage into young womanhood, may have been less than celebratory, less than hoped for. Perhaps this was a time of confusion, shame, secrecy or simply something to be hidden, not talked about and the message was to ‘just get on with it.’
How we were welcomed (or not) into young womanhood, what went on around that time may affect and play out in our adult lives. Perhaps we lost or gave up vital aspects of our selves which, through shamanic process, creativity and ritual we can retrieve, restore and reintegrate into our psyche and our way of being.
I invite you to join me in this gentle and illuminating day, to Welcome and Reclaim your Inner Maiden.
This is suitable for women who have already experienced Menarche and some years of their menstrual cycle, this is not a ‘welcome to young womanhood’ experience for girls.

Honouring the Mother
This one-day workshop is for women to explore the aspect of Mother, with in themselves, their family and our Earth as Mother.
We all have a mother, a grandmother, a great grandmother; we may be mothers to human babies or perhaps be planning to become mothers someday. Perhaps we are mothering in other areas of our lives; our careers, artistic or environmental projects, gardens, animals. During our Mother phase we create, we nurture, we tend and we protect, fiercely!
The experience of pregnancy and giving birth is a Rite of Passage for both the Mother and Baby, and for the family and wider culture. It is a profoundly significant time where both mother and baby receive imprinting as they enter into a new life phase. What occurs during and around birth has far reaching effects in a person’s life.
During this day you will come to understand The Red Thread, your Mother Line. Through shamanic processes, journey and ceremony you will explore how you were born and your personal experience around creativity, pregnancies, giving birth and mothering.
This day will help you clear or make sense of your experiences around birth, your relationship with your mother and your connection to the Great Mother. A nourishing day in which to reclaim and honour ourselves as Mother, Creatrix, Nurturer and Protectress.

Unleashing the Maga: Sovereign Queen. Enchantress.
This one-day workshop is for women of all ages to explore our Rite of Passage into Elderhood and our Wise Woman years, as we transition through peri-menopause and menopause. Learn about the phenomenal changes which occur throughout our whole being, as we transform and birth a new version of ourselves.
During the day we will explore what it means to truly claim ourselves as Sovereign Women. We will engage with shamanic processes and journey work to access our Inner Wise Woman and unleash her, the Powerful Maga; she who so needed within our families, our communities and the world now.
This day could be the wake-up call you have been waiting for!

Embracing the Crone
This one-day workshop is for women who wish explore the ancient wisdom of the Crone.
She is the oldest of the old, the wisest of the wise, she has learnt much through her lived experiences, over many earth cycles and life seasons.
The Crone, the great, great grandmother, she has seen it all and holds pearls of wisdom gained throughout the entirety of her preceding life cycle. She is full of compassion; she is full of love. She is the keeper of memory and holder of stories. She is the visionary, the mystic, the truth speaker and the seer.
She is the ancient one, closest to the ancestors and perhaps soon to become one. What wisdom does she have to impart to us, as we live our lives today?
During this day we will journey inward to meet with our Inner Crone, that aspect of ourselves which is all knowing and timeless. We will glean wisdom and insight from her long life which will inform us on our journey now. We will explore what it is to embrace the unknown, to be with inevitable change and dwell in places of liminality.
