Wise Woman - Wild Woman Gatherings; Harmony Hub, Chorley
Wise Woman - the first Wednesday of each month 7pm - 9.30pm
Hot flushes! Night Sweats! Anxiety! Mood swings!
Dont know who you are anymore!
Feeling lost in Midlife and worried its all down hill from here?
Are you searching for meaning and wondering what the hell is happening to you?
Many women are now seeing menopause as a major female rite of passage that takes us from our reproductive years to our Wise Woman years. Menopause is part of our human evolution and has a purpose. It is a time when we have the potential to step into our power and transform into a woman who is wise, sovereign, magical and connected to life.

Woman as Healer - Making Shamanic rattles
Wednesday 3rd June 7pm - 9.30pm - Harmony Hub
Woman as healer - Rattle making
The wise woman is a healer, and shamanic rattles can be a valuable healing tool
Shamanic rattles can be used for healing, journeying, ceremony and space clearing. They are much more portable than drums. In this afternoon workshop, we will work in a sacred space, crafting the head of the rattle from deer hide and sewing it, ready for stuffing so it can dry at home. The rattle can either be finished at home or in the Wise Woman Workshop a month later.
We will also prepare the handle for attachment when it's dry and filled with crystals, seeds, herbs, or small stones.
During the gathering, we will work respectfully with the deer and honour it, as this magical tool will be infused with your own energy.
The rattles are made from natural materials, so they will vary from the rattle in the photograph and most likely be much lighter in colour. If requested beforehand, I can dip the hide in acorn dye to make it darker. Just let me know. The cost for this is £25 and includes a small bag of crystal chips.

At menopause we enter an ancient and sacred rite of passage
Rewilding Menopause
At midlife, we enter a time of transition that takes us from our fertile years to our Wise woman/ Elder years. This can be seen as a rite of passage.
In indigenous / Elder cultures this can be a powerful time in which we encounter challenges and struggle in order to transform. It is also a time that should be held by the community and elders.
Menopause is a rite of passage that can leave women feeling lost, confused and coping with many physical and emotional challenges. It can also a time of profound spiritual growth. In modern times its also a time when women need other women and Elder women with knowledge and support.
