Womancraft
What is Womancraft?
Womancraft is a term used to describe a spiritual and holistic approach to women's health, healing, and personal growth. It is based on the belief that women have a special connection to the natural world and the cycles of life, and that this connection can be used to promote healing and empowerment.
Shamanic Womancraft draws from various indigenous and earth-based spiritual traditions, as well as contemporary psychotherapeutic approaches. It often involves practices such as ceremony, ritual, meditation, and visualisation, as well as body-based practices like dance and yoga.
Creating circle spaces where we can teach, practice and share these ways of being, can be used to address a variety of issues related to women's health, including menstrual cycle irregularities, fertility challenges, pregnancy and childbirth, menopause, and emotional and spiritual well-being.
Why attend women’s circles?
One of my dear teachers always says: “Trauma occurs in isolation, so healing can only happen through connection.” The places that are most vulnerable to us, where we carry our deepest wounds and where our shadows are thick, that is where we need to be witnessed by others most.
I chose to start hosting women’s circles and teach womancraft after attending, supporting, and facilitating groups for a few years. Time and time again, I witnessed how healing it was for people to share their experiences with others and be held in difficult emotions by a community (or even total strangers). Group work is a sacred space, where I believe deep, potent work and shifts can occur.
I have set out to create spaces where we could hold one another like this, laugh together, cry together and everything in between. As women, we have a lot of collective healing to do, within ourselves and with each other. The sisterhood and mother wounds run deep within us, often resulting in a deep mistrust for other women. We then find it hard to be supported or nourished by other women, which can leave us feeling drained and unable to replenish our energy. In addition, we may rebel against or reject the supposedly untrustworthy feminine* within ourselves, which causes us to be at constant war with our essence and being.
But it needn’t be this way. In women’s circles, we can unravel old patterns, we can let go of perceptions that do not serve us anymore, we can be witnessed in our pain and our glory. We can reshape how we relate to other women and ourselves.
We can heal. Together.
*Please note that you may want to substitute your own word for feminine, such as “yang”. I am referring to an energetic concept, not the gender.

Pregnancy Loss + Stillbirth Circle
Have you experienced pregnancy loss or stillbirth? These experiences can result in immense sadness, grief and guilt. Although 1 in 3 women will experience at least one pregnancy loss in their life time, this topic is not spoken about much in our society. Often women are left feeling alone, overwhelmed by grief and lacking support.
This circle was created with the intention of creating a space where you can share your story, witness others who have had a similar experience and find support to move forward in your life.
Upcoming circle: TBA
Location: Sunshine Coast, QLD
Time: 9.30am - 4.30pm
