Rooted & Woven Wellness

What a beautiful experience we had yesterday. and I blended our magic and gifts into a unique portal experience for 5 women. We had a somatic sacred rage experience that was incredibly potent and embodied, we danced, we stomped, we said NO with our whole chest out, we stopped to smell the roses (literally) with a somatic drop in and breathing practice. Sacred rage is medicinal. There is no invalid anger. It’s for YOU and you alone. It was incredible to witness women moving in ways they hadn’t moved before, sounding and expressing and letting their throat fully unlock and open. The shares were tender and vulnerable and beautiful. It was a joy to guide. Then we integrated with a hip sequence with Barbara, followed by a mini sound bath by moi.

This should be a regular thing. Like a yogic rage practice. Bring your raw, your real, your messy, your tears. All of you is welcome here. We do not offer advice, only witnessing.

Stay tuned for the next one. And if you can’t make it to a live class, I’d love to invite you into the descent - a six week journey with guided support, a portal of somatic practices, accountability and 1:1 guidance as needed.

Hugs and love. Enjoy your solstice. Sun your yoni ☀️

Rage doesn’t have to look a certain way - many of us carry suppressed anger and it can look like - shame, guilt, fearing your power, not owning your voice, lack of boundaries, auto immune disorders, abandoning yourself in relationships. Or maybe you have unknowingly tried to bypass your anger instead of allowing it to move through you and digest, allowing yourself to fully process your experience.

This is a 2 in one class - the first part of the experience will be embodied practices to connect with your anger in a grounded compassionate way. You will learn simple practices you can take with you that do not tell you to calm down:) the second part of the class is a hip release. A lot of us have tight inflexible hips. The hips are the seat of our emotional creativity, and also a place where many of us hold shame, guilt and suppressed emotions. Through a gentle hip opening release led by Barbara Appel you can begin to soften to opening and releasing the stored emotions and energy.

Offering First Moon Rite of Passage Ceremonies

Hello community and friends!

🥀I had posted recently on this page gauging interest for rite of passage/celebrating the transition into womanhood and the menstrual cycle ceremonies. There seems to be a real desire and need for this.

🥀I am a somatic educator and have done many women’s circles and events, and the resounding feedback is that we all wish we could have had this as girls, so why don’t we bring this to our daughters?

❤️As this is a newer offering, I am offering an introductory rate of $250 for a 3 hour ceremony for between 3-5 girls and their moms/aunties,(this is also for us who did not receive this rite of passage!)❤️

🥀I invite you into the red tent rite of passage - a warm, nurturing space where girls and their mothers/aunties gather in circle to learn, share stories, ask questions, and celebrate the menstrual cycle as something powerful, natural and worthy of celebration.

This red tent experience was created to so our girls feel:

🥀proud of their bodies
🥀prepared for their first bleed
🥀armed with knowledge to care for their bodies
🥀supported and celebrated in their transition to womanhood
🥀feel connected to the earth and the divine feminine
🥀have a felt understanding of diverse stories and traditions that have shaped this celebration

This helps mothers/guardians feel:
🥀confident guiding their daughters
🥀connected to their daughters experience
🥀equipped with language, education and tools

❤️What We’ll Experience

Over 3 hours, I will guide the circle through:

* Opening circle

* Grounding with tea and stories of traditions

* Storytelling and shared wisdom from mothers and guardians

* Age-appropriate body literacy and first moon/period education

* Creative workshop representing the seasons of the menstrual cycle

* Create a first moon necklace together

* An anointing and blessing ritual

* Closing circle and shares from the girls

Optional add ons

* Enjoying a bespoke strawberry moon cake specially crafted for the ceremony from Sparrows Crumb Bakery(optional $ add on)

* Gifting first moon goody bag (optional add on)

❤️Who This is For

Girls aged approximately 9–12 who are:

* approaching their first period

* recently started menstruating

* or wanting encouragement and support as their body evolves

Each girl attends with a trusted adult woman (mother, auntie, grandmother, guardian, or mentor).

If this is something you’d like to explore, and would be curious to discuss let me know! We can also come up with a co-created ceremony incorporating your own meaningful traditions.

Yesterday was so incredibly beyond what I could have dreamt of.

Gathered six women for a sacred rage and primal paint ceremony. We were at the beautiful Stephanie Thrasher farm, under the sky. We moved through a beautiful somatic embodied flow, we connected our anger to what we care for on the canvas and then we got messy and creative with our paint.

At the end, everyone got to take home a piece of the communal canvas and the magical Saige Ryen captured and documented the event and I am beyond thrilled to see the story unfold.

Anger can feel scary for women. You may have been taught to either suppress anger, or that it was bad, toxic, and not to be felt.

But what if you had been told that it’s actually the energy of protection, loving kindness and care. And by this I mean true authentic anger - not the distortions that we see that are cruelty, powerlessness, pain, angst and frustration.

True anger protects life. It draws a boundary, it says this is not ok. I will die to defend what I love.

That is anger, that is sacred rage.

And guess what - we laughed a lot yesterday. We danced. Someone said she felt “untangled” afterwards and I cannot think of a better way to describe it.

This is not the end. There will be more.

And I’m also opening a six week small group container in June - it will be virtual, but feel incredibly intimate and personal. There will be one live call a week (recorded if you miss it). There’s no “homework” just invitational practices that you can experiment with - recorded on your portal. Somatic practices, sacred rage work, and joy centered practices that connect you to the earth (matter), your life force energy (the maternal) and what matters - what you care about.

I still have a few spots, this is a beta round and is $222 for the entire six weeks. This is your invitation. And if you are local to the upstate we will end with an in person event to celebrate 🎉 the completion

DM or comment if you feel pulled

I’ve been way more active on Instagram lately!

However - I would love to do a small summer solstice sacred bodywork gathering in June

I would love to find a private location outside, preferably close to water

The vision
🌹Create our own rose body oil together
🌹Ritual self care, anointing ourselves with the oil, self external belly/womb massage + lymphatic self care
🌹rose meditation
🌹somatic or simple yoga nidra practice
🌹sound bath
🌹simple delicious energetic practices
🌹relax and splash in the water, soak up sunshine, ☀️ feel like absolute goddesses

Let me know if you know of any locations that would be a good fit for this - I want to keep this very accessible and cover any costs on my end for supplies so would like to not spend a ton of $$$ on a venue.
