Over the course of twelve months, together we will explore the life cycle process
that is unique to all women, allowing us to:
Remember our ancient journey, Activate personal power, Honor our
hearts, Embrace our sacredness, Rejoice in our connection to
each other, Create a more joyful and abundant way to live,
Bring greater meaning into our everyday lives
The Thirteen Moons Seminar Series is an invitation to
change a woman’s personal, cultural and spiritual
reference points from the stationary sun—signifying the
masculine—to one more in harmony with our bodies, cycles
and intuitive approach to life: the moon. By aligning with
the flow of nature, we rebalance our natural rhythms and
can get in touch with our most authentic selves.
The foundation of the Thirteen Moons Series is based on
cross-cultural, earth-honoring spiritual principles that are
simple—yet extraordinarily powerful—ways to help women
find the wholeness we have lost in today’s disconnected
society. Because we can trace all of our current cultural,
ethnic and religious ancestry to indigenous roots, these
teachings bring us back to core principles of self, womanhood
and our connection with nature. They awaken the
wisdom of our great-grandmothers, connecting us to a
timeless knowledge that honors our own sacredness. This,
in turn, allows us to make clear choices that can heal
our bodies, grow our spirits and bring relationships into
harmony with our hearts.
Each of the thirteen seminars will speak to every woman in
a unique, intimate and deep way. And while individual
topics may spark more immediate interest, we highly
recommend that you experience all of the seminars—not
only because consistent participation will enhance greater
personal growth, but also because this is an opportunity to
create a supportive community with like-hearted women.
In keeping with indigenous principles, seminars will
combine teachings, experiential journeys, meditations and
interactive exercises, plus related homework to anchor the
area that was covered in your own life. The intention of
these seminars is to feed the spirit, engage the mind, clear
and balance the emotions, center the energy and motivate
the heart.
You need no previous studies in indigenous or spiritual traditions
to attend, only an open mind and heart, as well as a desire to create
or deepen a hands-on spiritual practice that you can integrate into
your daily life. Come join a community of spirited women hungry
to reawaken the divine and earthly goddess within. Together we can
heal, grow, remember, evolve—and become beautiful, juicy and wise
co-creators of our own personal journeys. Seminars will be held
Saturdays 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the dates indicated below.
