ONCE UPON A TIME women were the ‘Voices of the Well’.

. Women tended to the holy and sacred life giving waters,

. Women were custodians of these places and maintained right relationship - Loving Reciprocity.

. These Women were Guardians of the Sacred Cup, the Chalice, these womb like vessels, that held the holy waters.

. With warmth, please receive this invitation to join us around the hearth fire for the fourth annual iteration of this most sacred journey of remembering.

🔥 Begins WINTER SOLSTICE 20/6/24 @ 10am {Zoom}

✨ Engaging in ~
Sacred Council
Deep Listening
Celtic Myth & Song
Creative Writing as vessel
Oration~Invocation

. With the gift of these 9,000 year old stories - we are…
Awakening Bone Memory. Becoming Voice for Ancestors. Attending to the rift of Connection & Belonging to place, the deep ancestral grief, with a prayer for healing and active participation in Cultural Repair. With the question…
‘What does it mean to be a good Ancestor?’

And so may the stories guide us. 🙏

. We explore with curiosity and compassion, the Mythic experience of Women’s lives - the roles we play, the archetypes we know our stories through. Seeing into the deeper layers of story and culture. Sharing our stories and taking our power back.

. In and through this 11 week offering, we will dive into Celtic Mythology centering around the Woman’s Journey, the Feminine Perspective. Through our exploration we reinvigorate, we reawaken, we remember our bone deep cultural narratives, the ancient stories find voice through us; We hear our Ancestors Speak.

🌿 With deep love and appreciation I acknowledge the Woi-wurrung speaking clan as traditional custodians of this most beautiful and sacred Country I call home ~ Wurundjeri Country. And the deeply profound gift of being part of healing ancestral threads.

My girls still remember the crouch and wee birth canal entry into the cairns, that sit atop a small hill who flows into a valley of Pine. In this place i felt parties and celebrations, surrounding what was most likely burial grounds. Celebrating life, death, all between, around and through.
