Daughters of The Moon
Since the beginning of time, women's bodies were led by the moon. We bled with her, planted with her, celebrated and mourned with her cycles. Our wombs were lunar temples, and the moon was our first teacher in the mysteries of creation, death, and rebirth.
Before the ways of the Goddess and the sacred feminine were covered by religion, distortion and amnesia of the sacred — women gathered for ritual, rite of passage and initiation with the moon cycles. The New and Full moon were energetic thresholds and portals of initiation.

When this relationship was broken, and we were pulled into the artificial rhythm of the patriarchal clock, we lost more than a practice. We lost our primary tool for ancestral and spiritual connection as women.
This is an ancestral reclamation for all women — because every lineage on Earth once knew the moon as sacred guide and initiation keeper.
The womb is a portal to the grandmothers behind us, the wisdom of our lineage and a catalyst into infinite spirals of remembrance of our feminine medicine. When you return to moon ceremony, you are re-establishing this threshold of remembrance.
You are healing the womb by giving her back her rhythm.
You are healing the lineage by becoming the bridge between what was lost and what will be reclaimed.

Within each woman, there is an ancient and instinctual understanding of the moon mysteries carried within. The wild feminine knows the moon as a sacred grandmother and elder guide on this path of remembrance.
When we as women sit in ritual with the moon, we are returning to an ancient practice held by thousands of women who walked before us.
When women gather in circle in alliance with the energetics of the moon, we remember that we are the altar and our life is ceremony.
The Invitation
In the final cycle of shedding held within the year of the snake, we are invited to gather in sacred sisterhood to meet at the altar in truth, devotion and ceremony.
There is a deep calling at this time to honor what is dying and to grieve what is being released.
Many of us are full of energy, emotion and weight that has been held & carried that is now ready to be lovingly laid to rest at the sacred altar.
Held within the ancient medicine of the moon, surrounded by our ancestral grandmothers, guides and guardians, we courageously release what cannot come as we step into the next cycle of our becoming.
This is a sacred container for women to gather in ceremony at the Full Moon, reconnecting with the lunar rhythms that once guided our grandmothers.
May we honor what is falling away — side by side — witnessing the sacred death that always comes before the deepest expression of beauty, clarity and remembrance.

I guide women back to the ancient altar of the feminine through ancestral reclamation, womb healing & ceremony.
For years, I've walked the path of remembering—listening to my ancestral grandmothers, reclaiming the medicine of my lineage through deep cycles of initiation, death and rebirth. I am deeply devoted to supporting women as they break free from the patterns that have kept them small, silent, and separated from their true power and feminine medicine.
Honoring the immensity and intensity of these times, my intention for the circle is to meet the initiations that are calling us by name.
Come as you are.
All of you is held as sacred in this circle.
