Women's Circles
Women's circles create a connection to an ancient tradition of women coming together to support and nurture one another. We hold safe and sacred spaces which provide the intimacy and belonging necessary for our self healing and unity consciousness. The circle movement is part of the global calling to reclaim feminine wisdom and to stand together for the profound changes necessary to heal ourselves and the world. While we don't follow any particular religion or dogma, we do have a spiritual center of Love & Compassion. People of all faiths and beliefs are welcome.

"Circles encourage connection and cooperation through dialogue and deep listening... and cultivate an environment of equality where compassionate solutions to individual, community, and world problems can be explored. Circles have become a worldwide healing force by bringing the more feminine values of relationship, nurturing, equality, cooperation, and interdependency into the global culture".

Rites of Passage Ceremonies
These rites of passage honor the seasons and possible transitions of a woman's life. Life cycle ceremonies have been practiced since ancient times and foster a sense of renewal as they mark a new phase in our lives. These rituals remind us that we are constantly evolving and that life is a transformative journey. They also provide a sense of belonging when they are performed by and for a community. If you are interested in creating a ceremony please email us to learn more!
Baby's Blessing
We can help you create your own meaningful and sacred baby blessing. Your baby's blessing ceremony can be a big occasion with extended family, friends and community. Or it can be an intimate gathering, with just parents and child. Whatever you choose, it’s a time to focus on honoring your child’s life, and create intentions for your life together.

First Moon Celebration
A first moon celebration is when a young woman's menstrual cycle is met with excitement and celebration as she embarks on her new journey. The beloved women in her life gather around her and drench her in knowledge, support, and teach her how to love her cycle and honor the sacred feminine within her. The celebration is full of fun and meaningful rituals that help to connect all women to this beautiful cycle of life.

Mother's Blessing
Unlike a traditional baby shower where the focus is on gifts, a Mother’s Blessing puts the focus back on nurturing the woman. A woman’s closest girlfriends and family gather in love to build up her mind, body, and soul in preparation for her journey to motherhood. The intentions that the mother-to-be leaves bursting full of love, strength, confidence, and belief in the ability of her body to birth her baby as well as feeling supported and connected to the women around her and her matriarchal lineage.

Wise Woman Celebration
The third life season is defined as from menopause to retirement. The main rite of passage distinguished here is Menopause, when menstruation stops and Maga (the feminine form of magus) begins. This season is all about harvesting her life skills and shifting focus from her own family to community. By honoring the mark of the woman's last blood and honoring her transitioning into her later years, she can see how much value she has to offer her community and the world. We need her wisdom and knowledge more than ever. Creating a Wise Woman Blessing Ceremony is one of the most important rituals we can perform for her.

Crowning the Crone Celebration
Traditionally this rite of passage was held and carried down by the elders who came before us and though times have changed we have not lost our connection to all that was and all that will be within us. As woman we carry the seeds of generations to come and our memory began within the womb of our grandmothers. These celebrations for women in their elder years mark the passage with the great honor of being Crowned a Crone.
