SHAKTI MOON TEMPLE 🌹
Sacred Waters | A Feminine Embodiment, Yoni Steam & Sound Bath Ceremony
Thursday, November 26, 2026 | 7–10 PMPrivate Residence · Kitsilano, Vancouver
Exhale + enter the moon lodge of The Nourished Woman. 🌕
Before the busy holiday season begins, you are warmly invited to soften, surrender and receive within an intimate sanctuary of sisterhood.
Three hours to tend your feminine ground, honour your boundaries, reconnect with your sacred waters and remember the wisdom of your body.
Sacred Waters: Shakti Full Moon Temple is an evening of regenerative rest, feminine embodiment and sacred ritual, woven together through rooftop sauna, rose-cardamom cacao, an organic yoni steam ceremony and a candlelit cosmic sound bath.
Rooted in authentic lineage tantra, somatic wisdom and care that centres the female nervous system, this gathering is an invitation to put down what you’ve been carrying.
To breathe a little deeper.
To return to the sacred waters of your feminine body.
To remember that you do not have to earn your rest, your nourishment or your belonging.
If you are feeling the call for ceremony within an intimate sisterhood, for reconnection to the wisdom of your womb and for a space where you can simply be rather than perform, you are invited. ✨
🌹 The Wisdom of Sacred Waters
For generations, women’s bodies have been places of profound wisdom, creation, intuition, pleasure and transformation.
And yet, so many women have learned to disconnect from their pelvic ground, silence their emotions, override their boundaries and carry shame around their sexuality, sensuality and feminine expression.
Our womb space is not simply a reproductive centre. Within feminine embodiment traditions, the pelvis is also approached as a place of grounding, creative life force, emotional awareness and intuitive knowing 👁️✨👁️
What becomes possible when we begin to relate to this part of ourselves with reverence rather than shame?
When we listen rather than override?
When we soften rather than brace?
When we allow our sacred waters to become a balm for the places within us that have been neglected, silenced or forgotten?
This is an invitation to return to the body as a place of belonging.
To tend the feminine ground.
To reconnect the heart with the womb.
And to remember the power of a woman who feels safe enough within herself to receive.
🌹 The Ancient Art of Yoni Steaming
Yoni steaming, also known as vaginal steaming, is a traditional practice found in various cultures, historically associated with feminine care and postpartum rituals.
Within our ceremony, steaming is approached as an intentional practice of warmth, stillness, breath and reconnection with the pelvic space.
We create a sacred pause from the demands of everyday life, allowing ourselves to slow down, turn inward and listen to our bodies.
Through guided breathwork and somatic awareness, we explore the emotional and energetic themes that may be present within our feminine ground.
Perhaps there are old stories around sexuality, shame, grief or relationships that are ready to be witnessed.
Perhaps there are boundaries asking to be honoured.
Perhaps there is a longing to reconnect with pleasure, softness, discernment, abundance or your own creative life force.
Rather than forcing a release, we create space for whatever is ready to emerge.
Women sometimes describe feeling more grounded, emotionally connected, sensitive or deeply rested after participating in this type of ritual.
This ceremony is not about fixing the feminine body. It is about honouring her.
Yoni steaming is a traditional wellness ritual, not a medically established treatment for hormonal imbalances, infections, trauma or reproductive conditions. Participation is optional, and the practice is not recommended during pregnancy or menstruation. Further safety considerations are shared below.
And for women who no longer have a physical womb, your connection to feminine embodiment, creative life force and the symbolic cosmic womb remains welcome and honoured.
🌹 The Medicine of Our Evening
1. Enter the Moon Lodge | Rooftop Sauna
We begin by gathering in the warmth of an outdoor rooftop sauna.
An invitation to gently transition out of the pace of everyday life, soften the body and prepare to enter sacred space.
Through warmth, intentional breathing and quiet presence, we begin to arrive in ourselves.
2. Rose-Cardamom Cacao | Heart Nourishment
After returning from the sauna, you will be offered warm vegan rose-cardamom cacao, lovingly prepared to nourish and ground you.
Cacao has been a beloved offering within my women’s retreats and ceremonies for many years.
Together, we explore the tantric art of receiving, opening the heart to support, nourishment and sisterhood without needing to give anything in return.
3. Feminine Embodiment & Womb Awakening
Through gentle somatic exploration, breathwork and teachings rooted in authentic lineage tantra, we reconnect with the pelvic ground.
We explore the relationship between our breath, emotions, boundaries and the wisdom of our feminine bodies.
An invitation to honour what you are carrying and gently create room for something new.
4. Sacred Waters | Organic Yoni Steam Ceremony
Enter a guided yoni steaming ritual with my signature Shakti Somatica organic herbal blend.
Through stillness, breath and intentional awareness, we create a sacred space to reconnect with the womb, the yoni and the deeper intelligence of the body.
You will be guided to approach this ritual with gentleness, choice and respect for your body’s needs.
Your steaming bowl and organic herbal blend will be provided.
5. Sparśa Mudra | The Art of Conscious Touch
Where appropriate and with explicit consent, we explore Sparśa Mudra, the yogic and tantric art of conscious, loving touch.
A gentle opportunity to explore what it means to receive support from another woman, while honouring your own boundaries and capacity.
Participation is always optional.
6. Cosmic Sound Bath | Rest & Integration
We close our temple in candlelight with a channeled, multi-instrumental cosmic sound bath.
Allow yourself to lie down, rest and receive the resonant sounds of crystal bowls and other sacred instruments.
There is nothing to accomplish here.
Simply an invitation to integrate, soften and return to yourself.
7. Sisterhood & Closing Circle
We complete our evening in authentic community, with space for reflection, connection and the quiet beauty of being witnessed by other women.
Each woman will receive a take-home satchel of my signature Shakti Somatica organic yoni steam blend, so you can continue creating moments of intentional self-care at home.
🌹 What to Bring
Please bring a few personal comforts to support your evening of deep rest and nourishment:
- Flip-flops or waterproof sandals for moving between the rooftop sauna and indoor sanctuary.
- Two bath towels — one to sit on during the sauna and a second clean towel to dry yourself afterward.
- One small hand towel to place beneath your yoni steaming bowl during our ceremony.
- Warm wool socks to keep your feet cosy during and after the yoni steam.
- An optional eye cover for our candlelit cosmic sound bath.
- A journal for any reflections or insights that arise.
- A small sacred offering for our womb altar, something that represents feminine wisdom, creation or renewal to you. You are welcome to take your offering home afterward.
Please also bring swimwear for the sauna and comfortable clothing for gentle movement, ceremony and rest. There is no nudity required.
Your yoni steaming bowl and organic herbal blend will be lovingly provided, along with warm vegan rose-cardamom cacao and all other ceremonial offerings.
Simply arrive ready to exhale, soften and receive. 🌹

A Note on Yoni Steaming & Personal Care
Yoni steaming is optional and is not recommended during pregnancy or menstruation. Avoid steaming if you have active genital irritation, an infection, unexplained bleeding or a condition that makes heat exposure unsafe. Steam can cause burns or irritation to sensitive tissue; it should never feel uncomfortably hot.
If you have recently given birth, experienced pregnancy loss or undergone a pelvic procedure, please seek medical guidance before participating.
You are always welcome to participate in the remaining elements of the ceremony without steaming. Your presence and belonging are not dependent on participating in any particular practice.
🌹 Words of Love From Previous Women’s Circles
“I am feeling nourished, strengthened and empowered! Abneet has rocked my world the last 7 weeks! I feel plugged back into my power, my strength and deeply connected to my body. This work is stunning and Abneet’s facilitation is impeccable and masterful.
Something undeniably powerful happens when women gather and Abneet catalyzed this power — the result was a group of women who started off as strangers becoming dear friends.
Abneet created a safe and transformative space where we could each explore to the fullest our softness, our bodies, our sensuality, our rage, our love, our power… the result was deep healing and transformation.
At the end of this program I looked around the circle and beheld a room full of Queens. Each woman transformed, shining vibrantly, connected to herself, her worth, her power and her deeper knowings. It was undeniably beautiful.
Thank you Abneet. I’m so grateful to have found my way to you and this work.”
— Tatiana Speed ♥
“My dear Abneet, you truly created such a sacred empowering space for deep feminine healing. We were held in ancient wisdom and sisterhood, where we softened, surrendered, and remembered who we are.
The energy in the room was palpable — truth shared, burdens released, intentions set, and vitality restored.
Thank you Abneet for such a beautiful experience, I feel energized, calm, and ready to move forward with ease and clarity. I highly recommend this ceremony to any woman who is ready for womb healing and powerful transformation.”
— Shannon, previous yoni steam attendee and host at Driftwood Apothecary + Spa, Sechelt
“Hello Sister and a very good morning to You 🌹 A thousand thank yous for the absolutely transformational evening last night.
Without going into detail I feel that a work situation that I had been struggling with was transmuted in the best possible outcome due to the powerful energy and sisterhood of your workshop.
You carry powerful medicine that is changing this planet and for that I am grateful. You are an inspirational spirit in human form and I raise up my prayers and lay down tobacco in the most humble way.
Thank you for being your authentic self. It is an inspiration and a joy to make your connection.”
— Kelley Maree, previous yoni steam attendee, Sechelt
