Moon Wisdom Circle
The oldest known calendar is that of 29 notches etched into a neolithic bone.
In this series of four circle workshops plus an online zoom(following a full lunar cycle) we explore the opportunities at each stage of the moon’s phases in it’s 28-29 day journey around the Earth. This lunar cycle mirrors women’s menstrual cycles and have much to teach us about working with the cyclical nature of our bodies and nature around us. Working with these is akin to working with the changes of the tides, and we will explore the flow, the upward and outward cycle, and the ebb cycle, the downward and inward cycle, as well as all the wisdom these phases have to offer.
We connect with our inner knowing, and by bringing our full selves, invite each other to deeper understanding of self and others. There are rituals to promote self-love and understanding, including drum journeys, guided visualisations and meditations, along with a lot of laughter and cups of nourishing tea or soup.

Imbolc - Spring Circle
Imbolc Spring Circle— A Spring Celebration of Returning Light - midway between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox
Imbolc is a quiet and deeply symbolic festival that marks the first gentle stirring of spring beneath the stillness of winter. This year in the Southern Hemisphere here on Djaara country in Central Victoria our Imbolc circle will be on Saturday 8th of August. It is a celebration of what is beginning to awaken unseen.
Imbolc is soft, inward, and hopeful. It reminds us that transformation rarely arrives with thunder — it comes like a whisper beneath cold ground. The days grow subtly longer, the land softens, and life slowly prepares to return. This teaches patience — a trust in cycles that unfold slowly, beneath the surface, long before they can be seen.
When: Saturday 8th August 2pm-4pm
Including:
sharing in circle, exploring birth and how we create in the world as women
crafts (making candles and Brigid eyes)
snacks & endless tea!
Cost: $50 ($40 concession)
