wisdom
~saturday june 20~
3-6pm
valdez, AK
what
We’ll begin with a somatic movement practice led by Ashleigh. She’ll help us drop into our bodies, into presence + into authentic expression. Her guidance will help us attune to our own needs.
❋ embodied movementWe’ll learn about the archetypes of the menstrual cycle (Crone, Maiden, Mother, Sorceress) and how they correspond to the four different phases. It becomes clear why life aligns with us when we align with our physiology. You’ll be guided through the chance to revisit menarche (your first period), understanding how healing begins there & being given the chance to reclaim your initiation into womanhood.
❋ menstrual cycle teachings + menarche reclamationWe integrate by connecting to our wombs (or womb space if you’ve had a hysterectomy). You’ll be guided by nora through a practice of self womb massage, as part of the Mayan Abdominal Womb Massage framework she was taught in Guatemaya.
***please bring a sarong or scarf to wrap your belly afterwards***
❋ self-womb massagewe plan to be outside—weather permitting—so that the trees can dance with us, the Earth can feel our bare feet, the fire can listen, and the Sun can be worshipped!
❋ connection to Earth
