“Maiden, Mother, Queen, & Crone” Yoga & Women’s Circle Blairsville
As women, we have four major phases in our life & with each phase, there is an archetype to guide us: the Maiden, the Mother, the Queen, & the Crone. Regardless if we have a physical womb & give physical birth or not, these women carry powerful insight for all womxn. Each archetype is unique & is honored for her particular gifts. Each one aligns with a season of the year, a phase of the moon, & a menstrual phase for those who bleed. These beautiful connections remind us of our ties to the earth, the cyclicality of the moon, & to our feminine being.

“Wild Woman Within” Yoga & Women’s Circle Blairsville
Within us all, there is a Wild Woman stirring & asking to be seen.
She is free of social pressures, intuitive, in touch with her True Self, free, bold, & walking in her power. She has been with us all along, but we have quieted her down. We have lost touch with her…but, now change is in the air. Now is the time to let her rise.

"Woman's Rage" Yoga & Women's Circle Ellijay
Our rage has been stolen from us. It was ripped from our throats & given to men. Now, society accepts our sadness & rejects our anger. Our rage has been silenced by shame, mockery, & labels. Now, we no longer can access rage easily. Now, we have lost the powerful force of balance that our rage can bring about. Now, we have lost a side of ourselves.
Let us spend an evening focusing in on the power our anger & rage can be. It can be destructive to bring chaos or it can be destructive to bring healing. How do we access our rage? How can we cultivate it & wield its power to better ourselves & the world?
Silent Meditation Hike & Women’s Circle
Immerse yourself in nature, quiet your mind, & lean into the Divine.
“Wise Woman Within” Yoga & Women’s Circle In The Park
In ancient times, women had three archetypes that were revered & respected. First, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻, then 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿, then 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲 (a.k.a. 𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻). 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘥𝘰𝘮 & 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘯𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘴.
As women, we all grow into that Wise Woman archetype as we grow older. But we also embody her already, no matter our age. 𝗘𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘂𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘄𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 & 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺.
