It can be offered whenever there is a group of 3 women willing to make the journey.

In December of 2007, I had the great privilege of facilitating a Coming of Age Ceremony for a young woman who had just gotten her first period.  It was an incredibly beautiful experience for the mother and daughter and little sister, and for me!  It made me realize how important it is for us to celebrate these transitions in our lives in community, and to honor the wisdom of the feminine and our time-honored connection with the lunar cycles.  The wild popularity of the book, “The Red Tent” by Anita Diamant, (a historical fiction about women’s ancient moon cycle traditions in the Middle East in Biblical times) speaks to our hunger for reclaiming our women wisdom ways.

This series is designed to bring a group of women (from menarche through menopause) through a complete lunar cycle together, as we learn about the deep rooted traditions that women have celebrated from time immemorial. We will discover ways of honoring our own cycles and the spiritual gifts of our moon time and menopause, and learn how important they are in transforming our culture. We will also learn to take care of ourselves and our sisters in beautiful, life-enhancing ways.  We will draw upon wisdom from both Native American & ancient matriarchal cultures.

 The first session will take place on the new moon, a time when women would often begin menstruation.  It will provide an overview and then focus on the turning inward to sacred receptivity that is needed at this time. The second session will include a Full Moon Celebration Ritual, and the third session will focus on honoring the larger cycles of our lives.  Invite your daughter or grandmother, or babysit for a young mother so she can come.  Let’s make a commitment to fostering intergenerational bonds and passing down the wisdom. The world needs it!

 The first 2 sessions will include a light soup supper, as there is a lot to share, and we want to arrive before dark and be fully present with the night as it falls and the full moon as it rises.  We will meet in a cozy meditation room Moon Lodge and also outdoors in our Medicine Wheel Circle, if possible. Wear appropriate clothing for warmth & comfort.

Commitment to All 3 sessions is required.

The cost for the series is $50 for adult women

$18 for women under 18

$30 for elders (over 65)

 (sliding scale offered for all of these). 

The dates & times will be chosen by Grandmother Moon, in consultation with the group members who would like to participate.
