										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Using the power of our wombs to manifest the new Earth as a conscious collective.</p>
<p>Our wombs are a powerful and sacred space. Using our wombs as our cauldrons, we will journey into the highest timeline of the Earth, share our deep visions for what we see in the New Earth that we are birthing together. It is time to come together consciously to focus our attention to what we all want- happiness, peace, and a world living closer to ourselves and all that is.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Discussion + Council, open to all, to dive deep as a collective of intense and beautiful experiencers that can come into fertile listening and empathy with as we build a bridge called allyship and connect intimately through our differences.</p>
<p>This is an open a discussion and council on what it means to be an &#8220;Ally&#8221; in today&#8217;s day and age. This is more than race or color, sex, gender, orientation, faith, nationalism, ability, classs, beliefs&#8230; this is about all of that AND a deep desire to dissolve that which separates us by being heard, seen, and empathized with. When we come together in the shared space of council we see the experiences that unite us, we connect through differences, we empathize with challenges, and we support and resource one another in ways we couldn&#8217;t do on our own, because we&#8217;re not alone in our efforts to create change. This intensive will offer tangible dos and don&#8217;ts, tools and wisdom to walk away and step into the inner and outer actions needed to be a ally, which is really just doing the right thing.</p>

<p>what we do the earth, we do to ourselves, and vice versa. we are microcosms of the earth and if we can feel the pain and destruction in our bodies, then we can also feel the healing, resilience and regeneration through our bodies. for some of us this understanding around our bodies as the earth is one we’ve been having for a long time, and for some it may be a new concept. in this class we will discuss the ways this is true, and explore the systemic impacts on our bodies and the earth’s body and how we can dismantle these systems within ourselves first.</p>

<p>Fast-paced, production-oriented time around us will ask us daily to dishonor our bodies and push past our limits. In this class we will look at the real impacts of this on our bodies and discuss ways that we can come back to a body-centered way of living which supports the vitality of all of life. We are dynamic, cyclical beings and we have so much to learn about regeneration from our own bodies.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Womb water ritual with the whales for collective cleansing, healing and activation.</p>
<p>Blessed water temples ~ together we shall gather in circle and create a sacred container for us to take a dive into the deep waters of our wombs. Through guided meditation and connecting to these waters we will come to know our own self and soul more intimately. In these depths we will receive a healing and activating transmission from the Humpback Whale Tribes who share their ancient wisdom with gigantic love and support. In collective ritual we will activate our bodies as illuminated water temples and speak to what it means to walk this earth as a protector of the waters and all of her life-giving magic. We will close our circle with a water blessing and personal commitment to walk in good relation with the waters. &lt;3</p>

In this workshop, we will explore how to come back into meaningful connection with others through dialogue, experiential practices, and small group explorations in order to create a sturdy foundation to rise from.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This workshop helps females go from loathing to loving their hormones by aligning with their 28-day body clock.</p>
<p>This workshop will break down the approximate 28 days of the female hormonal cycle into four guided weeks using science, symbolism, and sacred geometry to reveal a predictable and easy-to-understand pattern, applying practical and feminist-positive meaning to a woman’s everyday cycle experience.</p>
<p>Attendees will quickly relate to the 4-phase approach and grasp the benefits of aligning with this internal navigational system for the purpose of making optimal decisions in health, business, and sexuality.</p>
<p>Due to the sensitive and private nature of the subject, “Your Hormonal Body Clock” is for females of all ages (cycling or cycling no-more) and female-identified only.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The cultivation, circulation &amp; enhancing of sexual energy for optimal vitality.</p>
<p>This practice empowers all women to reclaim and live their full feminine potential that often lies dormant beneath layers of emotions &amp; disharmonies buried in our wombs &amp; bodies.</p>
<p>Through Ovarian Breathing women can learn how to:</p>
<p>-Retrieve the connection with the wisdom of our bodies, sensuality, sexuality and fertility.<br />
-Remove physical, mental and emotional blockages and open to creative sexual energy that lives in each of us.<br />
-Resolve naturally specific diseases such as cancer, menstrual problems, fertility or reproductive disharmonies.</p>
<p>The ovaries contain 25% of our essential life force energy. It is said by the ancient Taoist that the life force contained in our ovaries and kidneys have the ability to awaken our greatest life-force potential as well as centers of healing.<br />
The practice can shorten menstruation, reduce cramps, create resilience to disease and compress more life force energy (Chi) into the ovaries for more sexual and creative power.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this class we will work with plant medicine, tools for self-care, and gain a deeper understanding within to promote healing, empowerment, and allyship in our communities.</p>
<p>Empowerment &amp; Earth Connection for Modern Witches is about building resiliency through understanding of self. Utilizing plant medicine, magick, and non-violent communication herbalist Julie Benefico will lead an interactive workshop to help folks gain insight into stories, projections, and stuck energy that may be blocking us from personal and collective prosperity. When people can gain awareness of these aspects of self they can shed unhealthy tendencies and work toward holistic healing. In order to heal the world humans must first do the self work. This class is a beautiful opportunity to tune into the shadow &amp; transform old patterns into your deepest desires! Julie will share self care practices, a fall equinox releasing ritual, plant allies for empowerment, and group process work.</p>

Our work in Ecotopia (or is it Cascadia?) of re-indigenation, de-colonization and re-wilding  takes place on our forested landscapes.  We are all relations of the trees, the tall standing people.  Our attitude needs be of gratitude.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yoga for non-pregnant womban</p>
<p>Ma Yoni ‘aT Yoga is the practice of “Honoring the Sacred Seat of Creation,” through owning your Goddess, using:</p>
<p>Sacred Word Vibrations, Affirmations, Sacred Meditation through breath work and coordination of breath with movement, and Visualizations of the Goddess Forces, the Feminine energies from ancient Kemet, who presented as: Goddesses, Mothers, and Spirit Guides. We call forth Ma&#8217;at, the divine Mother of Ancient Kemet. We dedicate this practice to the Goddess Power that lives within us.</p>
<p>These postures massage the internal organs, strengthen the reproductive organs, realigns the spinal column and sends sekhem (life force) energy throughout the body, creating a circle of healing energy, generating love, peace and balance. All movements are performed slowly and with the breath. All movements are flowing and sensual, creating open spaces, eliminating blockages, allowing spirit energies; a welcomed presence! Ankh (life) Udja (vitality ) Seneb (health)!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An introduction to the Fertility Awareness method of charting for natural birth control &amp; body literacy</p>
<p>In this workshop, we will learn the fundamentals of Fertility Awareness charting for natural birth control. This involves three daily observations, which are basil body temperature, cervical fluid and cervical position.<br />
We will go over the phases and hormones involved in a healthy menstrual cycle, and the benefits of using our monthly charts as an indicator of our overall health. This information serves to empower women to deeply love and understand our bodies, form self care habits throughout our cycle, and to deepen connections with each other and mother nature.</p>
