Friday the 13th. A most powerful day, as marked by the number of the Goddess and the Divine Feminine. Associated with the energies of creation, rebirth and fertility as mirrored in the 13 Moons of a woman’s cycle. This, a day venerated before stories of suspicion and fear took the collective away from its true nature.
So amid present moment of hyper feminine focus, of front and center conversations questioning the autonomy and sovereignty of women’s bodies born of an outdated and damaging patriarchal gaze, we will gather to honor and reclaim the abundant female forces of the Universe, rewriting centuries of suspicion into a new narrative of empowered possibility.
Our time will include a fire offering, ancestral acknowledgement and the transmission of the “Rite of the Womb,” given to each guest (who wishes to receive) by Sarah, who sits amid the first circle of lineage Womb Keepers, this rite channeled through by the Shipibo Grandmother’s to her teacher who then offered it through. This energetic exchange clears the womb of stored fear and pain to make way for creation, beauty and change to birth forth in all forms. We will close with a renaming ceremony and Earth offering in gratitude.
_____________
We look forward to welcoming you into the circle! Please note:
* This offering is inclusive to feminine and feminine-identifying individuals, of all races, ethnicities,inclinations and abilities, age 13 and above.
* The program will take place rain or shine, the totality of the offering moved into the Haymow Studio in case of inclement weather.
* This is an intimate, pre-ticketed group journey to allow for absolute connection and presence amongst practitioner and guests. As we are deeply aware of the present economic environment and the myriad of monetary realities faced by our diverse community, two openings are available for the program for individuals called to this work, but perhaps unable to accommodate the financial exchange asked at this time. Please reach out to Sarah directly for confidential consideration srigano@gmail.com.
* Given the meditative nature of this offering, we ask that all four-legged friends remain home in consideration of other guests. We are happy to reasonably accommodate assistance animals, but kindly request that prior notice of their presence is communicated to Sarah upon registration at srigano@gmail.com so we can welcome them accordingly.
