Swallowing the Pearl Moon-Initiation into Wise Woman

Join us for a journey of reclaimation, discovery, and community.

Women entering Peri-menopause and Menopause are not offered the rite of passage into this next powerful phase of life. Often, all that is attached to this time is the emphasis on our physiological hormonal changes and their impact. However, this is fertile ground to reclaim ourselves in a new way as our bodymind is radically changing.

Swallowing the Pearl Moon is the invitation to internalize and alchemize our creative energy that was connected to blood, birth, mothering, or othering into a new Identity and Presence. We will initiate ourselves into our new place as Women. The phases of initiation rituals are generally characterized by three stages: separation (detachment from the old status), liminality (a transitional, in-between state of testing and learning), and reintegration (return to the community as a new, transformed person).

We will be flowing through these three stages for two moon cycles each. In between our regular meeting times, there will be two pop-ups each Month for connection and deepening. The pop-up offerings will be based on what is alive in the group, but we will also be tuning in with the Seasonal energy. You can choose which pop-ups speak to you, but we would like to ask for committed attendance at our Full Moon meetings. This is a living field that can offer us a coherent, compassionate, fierce, and nourishing initiation into our next phase of life.

DATES & TIMES: We will meet for 2.5 hours on the Full Moons for 6 months: January 3rd (Saturday), February 2nd (Monday), March 3rd (Tuesday), April 2nd (Thursday), May 1st (Friday), & June 1st (Monday). We ask that no more than two regular Full-moon meetings be missed. If you will not be present in person, you can join the group via Zoom.

INVESTMENT: $66/month, which includes the pop-up happenings. The monthly payment is expected even if you cannot attend the Full Moon meeting.

If you cannot afford the full $66/month cash payment, there are other ways to carry the energetic load by helping with email correspondence, set-up/clean-up, snacks, making playlists, herbal teas/medicine, and ritual supplies.

8 Openings are Available for the Ongrowing group.

FIRST MEETING IS FREE!

In our initial meeting, we will introduce the structure, agreements, and rhythm of this group. In this initial meeting, you can see whether this group and structure are a fit for you. I would like to ask you are comfortable and curious about self-inquiry, emotional regulation, and group dynamics, and that you practice personal accountability. Also if you are outside the age bracket and would like to participate, please come to the first meeting and get in touch with me personally.
