A gentle celebration of the transitions that both mother* and daughter are experiencing through games, craft, food, fire and ritual held in nature 💚*Or significant woman.
Moon Spiral is a weekend facilitated event for girls aged 8-11 and their mothers/primary female caregiver. It is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, create, play, and honour the sacred bond between daughters and the women raising them. It is a space where girls are reminded of their magic, introduced to sharing circles and welcomed into gentle ceremony. This may serve as preparation for the upcoming journey through their changing lives and eventually into womanhood.
Daughters may discover that their mothers are more than just "Mum"- they are women with their own stories, dreams, wisdom, and magic too!
It is also a space where the women are invited to witness their daughters with fresh eyes, recognising the remarkable beings they are.
Through heart-opening intentional time together, playful games, creative activities, and meaningful ceremony, you’ll nurture seeds of connection and self-discovery.
