Description
Empowering the creative transition from womanhood to crone.
Join Stephanie MacKay and Cari Burdett as we gather to hold the sacred questions as we transition through (peri)menopause to Cronedom - in community, in strength, with the Land. This offering is for female-body individuals who have journeyed through so many moon cycles of the body, and are now stepping into new realms of what it means to be a woman at this time.
~ For mothers ~
~ For women who wanted to be mothers ~
~ For women who chose to intentionally not to be mothers ~
~ The grief and praise, of everything in between ~
We will ask the big questions and look to each other, our innate wisdom and the messages from the land to guide us on our journey. Who am I in this phase of life? What have I been doing and who am I becoming as I live into Crone?
It is said by wise old ones from around the world, this stage of life is our most “powerful” time as women. We will explore song, myth, ceremony, and creating beauty with our hands to reclaim the strength of our AGE.
We will touch our deepest longings, disrupt limiting beliefs from the dominant culture, and let our hearts and soul run wild!
These sessions will be held over the course of 5 months, the first and last sessions are over night camping on Vancouver Island.
**Registration is for the whole series - contact us if you cannot make all the sessions.
“Is it not a magical thing, this life, when just a little ash, cinder, and unclear water can arrange themselves into a beautiful old woman who sways, lifts, kisses, loves, sickens, argues, loses, bears up under it all, and, wrinkling, still lives under all that and yet feeds the Holy in Nature by just the way she moves barefoot down a path?”
