What: 
🪷 Take refuge in the  support of many loving wisdom beings through guided meditation. 🪷 Connect with your strengths through somatic practice.
🪷 Celebrate the gifts you have offered our world through dyad storytelling.
🪷 Experience a ceremonial meditation which supports healing of our paths of birth and motherhood, such as fertility issues; difficult labor and/or childbirth; relationships with your own parents; maternal longing; abortions and miscarriages.
🪷
 Increase compassion for yourself, your family, and your ancestors by noticing the connections between your experience and their experiences on the mother path through meditation, worksheets and dyads.
