(link to detailed description of Creating a Moonlodge )
Let’s journey together through time and gather ancient women’s wisdom. We will support the paradigm shift into the present by honoring our cycles as women. We will learn the basics of inviting women, preparing a sacred space, priestessing ritual, and the specific elements and songs of Moonlodge ritual that I have developed over the past eleven years. My goal is to assist you in facilitating Moonlodge in your home communities.
Course goals: To raise awareness in our home communities about the sanctity of a woman’s experience through offering mooonlodge ritual. After completion of this course, women will define their intentions for creating moonlodge and have the skills to call women to the circle, create sacred space, and priestess the ritual.
