Wisdom of the Feminine

RECLAIMING HEALING & HEALTH

A course in understanding the true meaning of health, in reclaiming healing ways that are relationship based, that see how your connection to the wholeness of you - body, mind & spirit - to the earth and the invisible dimensions of reality affect your vitality and wellbeing. This is an invitation in restoring more cyclical ways of living as a way of health, connecting to your earth-body and learning about the mystery and power of your female body to live a thriving life in harmony with the all.

What is true health?

How do we find balance in our systems respecting all the dimensions of our being?

How do we listen to the stories of our bodies and what they are trying to tell us?

What is nourishment? What is harmony?

ABOUT

Wisdom of the Feminine is a 9 full moons, 9 months and 9 modules course that dives deep into the physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions of female health as well as explore alternative and holistic ways of healing. With a council of 8 inspiring women from all around the world and with diverse expertise the modules combine earth-based healing ways that are born from ancestral practices with contemporary understandings and discoveries.

In these 9 moons, that represent for us the time of gestation, of transformation and birth, you will learn about alternative paradigms of healing, ways of relating to your body that are based on listening rather than intervening, on harmony rather than control , on nourishment rather than cleansing.

Our vision on healing is one that does not see dis-ease as something of which we are victims, rather, as an invitation into listening more deeply, into changing rituals and habits, into creating and establishing stronger connections in our lives with others and self, a journey of the soul to comprehend itself better and its role and action in the world.

Healing is a path that we have all access to, it is not something that only specialists beholds. We long to restore sovereignty upon our healing and the ways of healing.

Who is it for

Wisdom of the Feminine is open to therapists, doctors, healers, people who work in the realm of wellbeing, nutritionists, gynecologists, bodyworkers and anyone who is interested in female health.

The course is both for those who are longing to re-frame their relationship to health and healing, that want to understand more their female bodies, that want to reimagine what medicine is and that are on a journey of healing themselves and, also, for those that want to support others in finding balance, health and vitality again.

The approach to healing that we are going to offer in this course is comprehensive of both practical and theoretical knowledge yet, first and foremost, it is knowledge that is rooted in our embodied experience. We learn to listen and feel again, to observe and look for patterns, to prevent instead of respond or control.

This way is also one that acknowledges that health includes the way we think, the way we relate to our emotions, our bodies, our own spirituality, the earth and more. It is a constant dance of looking for harmony within ourselves and in relationship to our environment, a dance of re-uniting what is separated and compartmentalized.

Introduction + Rooting in the Body

Our council

We believe that each one of us beholds a facet of the whole, a wisdom that is needed to continue in our times. Alone we cannot do it anymore. Now is the time to get together and re-think of solutions, pathways and visions of what is to come.


This is why we work with a council of different facilitators around the world who share their knowledge and the wisdom they have acquired along the way.

For Wisdom of the Feminine we have a council of 8 women that will be sharing with you on all the above topics, offering their unique wisdom and all the teachings they have gathered along the way. We have the absolute privilege to introduce you to this incredible council from each corner of the world.
