An afternoon of deep connection to your inner temple, your yoni, your womb space. You are warmly welcomed to take part in this gathering where together we'll take a journey into the ancient self care ritual of yoni steaming.

When women take part in a yoni steam in a held, ceremonial space as a collective of sisters, a deep communion takes place. They anchor into the lineage of this ancient practice, directly communicate with nature and the feminine web as well as honouring themselves powerfully.

These ceremonies are a potent alchemical blend of tools and practices for healing and transformation that you are encouraged to bring into your life to continue a devotional communion with yourself.

Whether this is your first time, the first time in a group or a returning steamer, each constellation of women and the healing transmission is entirely unique and tailored to the energies of the group.

--- The Womb & Yoni: A Call to Return ---

The womb (the actual organ and the energetic space) is the ground of a woman’s power and well-being, housing her creativity, sexuality and deep inner knowing. It’s balance and alignment impacts a woman on all levels of her being - physically, emotionally and spiritually. This is her direct channel to the Earth, to the cosmos and to the universe within her.

Yoni is a Sanskrit term that acknowledges the whole of the female anatomy (internal and external organs) as well as meaning temple / house of the divine. It seems only fitting to use this term to breathe in and feel all that she is.

As women, we are carrying wounds and traumas of shame, pain, guilt and separation in our wombs from our lifetimes and our ancestral line. Many of us have not been initiated or even told what it truly means to be a powerful rhythmic woman, with an embodied knowing of her sacredness...one that feels so deeply, that has access to profound wisdom at each stage of her cycle and life... one that has the capacity to vision and manifest deep healing for her world and the world around her...one that can always source embrace and an abundance of life-giving-love from the Earth.

This no longer has to be our story, or the collective story, or the story of our future generations. A woman’s commitment to connect with her womb and reclaim herself can bring about a radical change in every part of her life and can clear the path for future generations her life will impact.

More than ever before, it’s time to restore the womb space as a centre of creativity, fertility and sexual energy. Regardless of the desire or want to conceive, ALL bodies benefit from a ‘fertile’ body and mindset that is glimmering with vitality. One that is ripe and plump with life-force, embodied knowing and receptive to life and all that comes with it so that she can live as her soul is calling to. This is not a choice, this is necessary for our collective evolution.

--- What is Yoni Steaming? ---

Yoni Steaming connects the body with the wisdom of subtle plant medicine to heal, clear the womb, pelvic bowl and sexual organs on a physical and energetic level. By sitting over a bowl of steam and inviting the qualities of the herbs to be absorbed into the vulva and vagina the whole of the pelvic area is filled with nourishment and heat, creating warm and circulation and for stagnant energy to move.

It is an empowering self care practice that invites women to fully drop into the realm of their inner sanctum and offer her exactly what she needs - warmth to unravel and unwind. The time and space to relax and release and surrender.The very act of allowing the whole yoni to relax and soften is radical healing in itself.

In this ceremony, you will be supported to draw upon your innate power and wisdom to create harmony and balance from within, sink deeper towards your inner resources and enhance your capacity for sumptuous and attentive self love.

--- Herstory ---

This is far from being a new health trend, it's an ancient tradition spanning thousands of years, making it’s resurgence in a time when finally, women are beginning to realise that their bodies are their own, when we are finally waking up to the immense value the wisdom of traditional indigenous medicine people hold, and what that can teach us in our modern lives.

Women in Central & South America, North Africa and East Asia (to name but a few) still continue to practice it to this day, as a regular self care regime, to support fertility and as a postpartum treatment. However, not only stop here, it has been shown to have a profound impact as treatment or supplementary to a holistic health care plan on a vast array of cyclical and female health imbalances that many women experience.

Yoni steaming connects us across cultures and time to our ancestors. Weaving traditional wisdom into our lives is a powerful act of reclamation of our inner medicine woman and earth keeper.
