“At her first bleeding a woman meets her power. During her bleeding years she practices it. At menopause she becomes it."

Your experience at menarche can affect how you perceive your feminine power, body wisdom and relationship with the sacred. The ways you are welcomed into your womanhood can influence how you relate to other women, yourself and your maternal lineage. 

Many blooming girls did not receive the honouring and celebration they deserved as they began their bleeding years, nor the wisdom from elders who had journeyed deeply with their blood and knew its worth. 

Womb Rites has been lovingly curated to help reimagine your menarche, through a process of re-membering, sharing, learning, creativity and ceremony, held within the heart of sisterhood.

By reframing the story of your menarche, you can weave a new thread into your life that can effect deep and profound healing on the way you perceive yourself, your body and your fertility. By meeting and empowering your younger self with recognition and celebration, the untruths you have carried about your feminine worth and power can be rewritten, transforming the legacy you pass on to future generations of girls so that they embrace the wisdom of their womb and power of their blood.

The day will give you the opportunity to:

• Rewrite your menarche story: including sharing circle, exploring language, expressing your needs, connecting with your younger self and crafting her a ceremonial crown 

• Wisdom sharing around body and womb wisdom: including anatomy and physiology, moontime practice & rituals

• Connect with your Ancient Grandmother: guided journey and creative grounding practice 

• Serenade your womb: Self-care & embodiment practices, Rebozo wrapping, womb healing & blessing

• Menarche ceremony: celebrating your younger self across the threshold into womanhood with a rite of passage ceremony

All held within the beautiful sanctuary of a homely yurt in Hornblotton, Somerset, surrounded by fields and flowers.

This ceremony is held alongside Grace Hempshall, an experienced womb-worker, mother and founder of the Reclaiming Menarche podcast.

(NOW FULL) Our next date is Thursday 11th May 2023.
