Rites of Passage
With each life season of womanhood - our own birth, menarche, childbirth, menopause - there is a rite of passage or initiation that marks the end of one season and the beginning of the next.
It is a time of great transformation and power, yet rarely acknowledged or celebrated in our culture. The absence of ceremony and ritual in our lives has left us feeling disconnected, disembodied and separate.
Honouring our rites of passage is to acknowledge and be witnessed in our initiations into the power that each season of our womanhood holds. Each rite of passage informs and sets the stage for the next rite of passage.

Ritual works through a poetry of doing. It is a multi-sensory experience which enters deeply into the body's memory. It makes bridges between the inner world of dreams, feelings, potential, and the outer world of manifest reality. We use ritual as a language to tell our bodies and souls something that our minds already know, and we also use ritual to try to understand something that our bodies and souls are telling us.
