Welcome to Cloudstories Creativity.

Through these offerings, you are invited to come home to yourself.

Rest easily in your own skin, your own strengths, shadows and skills.

Collect all your scattered parts and come to know yourself better.

Having held women’s circles and cyclical wisdom for 8 years, I offer the opportunity for us to find the answers within and together. Whether you seek your own wisdom, connection with like-minded others, or simply a safe space to explore, you are invited to come home to yourself.

My name is Caitlin McGrath.

Based on Djaara country in Bendigo, Central Victoria, I am an experienced Shamanic Craftswoman, teacher, ritual holder, storyteller, singer, and facilitator of the Women’s Mysteries. I have a seasoned understanding of the transformative power of circles and creativity in self-discovery / recovery, in connection to community and nature, and finding your voice.

Since 2018 I have been facilitating women’s circles and exploring the grounded cyclical wisdom of the seasons here in Victoria , including menstrual education, years of dawn walks, the opportunities in the lunar cycles, rites of passage, and seasonal celebrations throughout the year of the Southern Hemisphere.

I’ve also been a Performing Arts, English, EAL and Literacy teacher and tutor in Australia (Vic, NT, QLD), the UK and the USA for the last 26 years.

After my formal education (Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Literature, Drama, French and Music, and my Grad. Dip in Education, I sought further education in the Hatha yoga tradition (Shanti Gowans), informed by Co-Counselling methods (Shayla Mallick), and Shamanic Womancraft (the School of Shamanic Womancraft’s 4 Seasons Journey (Graduate 2018, Apprenticeship 2019-2022), and the teachings of Jane Hardwicke Collings. Having read tarot for over 30 years, I’ve undertaken tarot studies in Rewilding the Tarot with Beccy van Horssen. I’ve travelled deeply in two cycles of Invoking Inanna - Journey through the Underworld with Evonne Wiley and am currently furthering my astrological understanding through the Cyclic Wisdom Journal and The Imaginarium offered by Grace Funk.
