Womb Medicine

The wisdom of the womb is ancient and enduring, yet it has been suppressed, silenced, and dominated for far too long. It’s time to heed her call, to let her speak, and to re-establish our most intimate, nurturing, and genuine connection with our Selves: Our Womb, the source of our inherent power.

If we pause to observe, we’re surrounded by marvellous cycles of nature. The daily rising and setting of the sun; the moon revealing its diverse shades of darkness and light throughout the month; the seasons of summer, monsoons, autumn, and winter that envelop us each year; our life cycles navigating through birth, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, old age, and death; and so much more. These cycles are woven into every aspect of the nature around us, and within us.

For women, this cyclical nature is embodied in the menstrual cycle. The phases of pre-ovulation, ovulation, pre-menstruation, and menstruation mirror the various phases of the sun, moon, seasons, and the human life cycle itself. Traditional spiritual and shamanic practices often relied on these natural cycles to enhance an individual and the community’s alignment with the sense of Self.

Womb-centered practices are a potent means to recognise the cyclical nature of embodiment. Through breathwork, art, and nature-based practices, our work fosters an awareness of one’s menstrual cycle, its potential to guide day-to-day living, and the integration of one’s femininity.
