first blood
Menarche is known as the first menstrual cycle or first blood. It is a rite of passage into adulthood and more often than not, it lacks in acknowledgement and celebration. There is powerful wisdom and magic in menstrual cycles; first blood is a time to honour the gift of blood and what it means to bleed. Allow me to help mark this life milestone in a nurturing and empowering way for those growing into adulthood. Individual or group ceremonies available.
reclaiming
Many individuals have gone through life feeling embarrassment, shame, annoyance, pain and inconvenience towards their period. Let us reflect on your personal experiences with blood, revisiting your very first period, the years that followed, and where you are today. We can explore how to work with your cycle and discover the true gift that is your blood. It’s time to right this relationship. It’s time to reclaim the wisdom and power of your blood. Individual or group ceremonies available.
Other Reclaiming Ceremonies can be crafted just for you - if you need support and guidance to remember who you are, your power, your strength, your beauty, your gifts, let us create a magical and empowering ceremony tailored to your needs to help you step into your light.
pre-marriage circle
Your wedding is around the corner and you are about to cross the threshold into marriage. It is no doubt an exciting, a busy, and probably stressful time. In all of the planning, we can lose sight of what it means to be engaged and to marry. It’s time to pause and reflect on how you are truly feeling in a supportive and nurturing way. It’s time to honour you as you prepare to start a new chapter. This circle can be weaved into any other pre-marriage celebration.
TRANSFORMED BY BIRTH
Growing life inside of you is an incredible feat. The journey ahead into labour, birth, and ultimately parenthood, is a transition that can come really quickly. While the home gets prepped, birth plans created, and the baby bag gets packed, don’t forget to take some time to acknowledge and tune into the deep transformation that you are embarking on. A circle and ceremony with your closest companions is an opportunity to be witnessed and to receive blessings for this life-changing milestone.
croning
The word ‘crone’ has a bad rap and truly needs to be reclaimed because a crone is actually the archetype for a wise one. Crones are full of insight, knowledge, and wisdom from the decades they have lived. In a croning ceremony, your life is acknowledged, you are revered and doted on, and if you so choose, you may take a vow to be a guide for those younger than you. Individual or group ceremonies available.
