Greetings!
The dark season is upon us. Many of us are feeling the need to re-establish our connection with the earth, and light our inner fires for the darker moons to come. Let's gather together to rest into the power of women's circle, to stretch, breathe, move, emote, devote, howl if needed, and set forth our potent prayers into the cycles ahead.
Women, I am excited to offer you this opportunity to retreat from all responsibilities to family, career, and relationships to deeply connect with yourself within a community of women.
Announcing ~ The Women's Moon Lodge ~ November!
~Aligning ourselves with the healing power of the earth, the moon, our bodies, and our soul tasks for creating positive change in ourselves and the world!
Moon Lodge, a monthly women's retreat in Boulder, is a carefully dedicated woman-only space to connect with our blossoming wisdom. Whether you are longing for more meaning in your career, relationships, or family life; preparing for the power of birth, or integrating new motherhood, join us!

In many Native American tribes as well as other tribal cultures, there was/is a separate Moon Lodge space, to which all women go during the dark time of the womb/moon. Since most women menstruated at the same time (women who live together, bleed together) during the dark of the moon, the grandmothers and fathers took care of the children and village/household tasks. Food was left outside the Lodge several times a day so that the women could focus their power.
Women during menstruation were/are considered in these earth honoring cultures, to hold a rare and certain power with a responsibility to honor that. If a woman continues her normal routine at menstruation, she loses a uniquely female opportunity for introspection and Powerful Monthly Sight. (P.M.S.) When we dishonor this opportunity and gift, we may find that we become weary, irritable, and upset because our physical rhythm has slowed us down and we are fighting it.
The New Moon, has been a dedicated women's healing time for thousands of years. It is our time to be together without daily responsibilities or interruptions, to do what women do best together ~ deeply listen, connect, and heal.
Our Moon Lodge will take place on the Sunday closest to the Moon's renewal. See below for dates and mark your calendar.
