Breathing with the Sorceress
Welcome to the first offering of a monthly trauma-informed breathwork practice series around the wheel of women’s life. We begin in the descent of the dark phase of life with one of the thirteen archetypes, the Sorceress. Each month we will explore a different archetype.
This circle is for you if…
You’re seeking a way to reduce stress and anxiety while learning how to regulate your nervous system and safely process stored emotional tension without overwhelming your body.
You are looking for a way to connect with yourself deeply; your internal landscape, physical sensations and become more aware of your physical body.
You are ready to release stored trauma by way of slowing down and surrendering to a deep inner trust.
You want to be deeply present with your experience of your body while asking the mind to take a break from figuring anything out.
You want to feel connected to yourself within the presence of other women with the same desires in a safe and consciously held circle.
If this sounds like the thing that could support you on your healing journey, take this opportunity here as a stand alone practice or at a discounted rate for a 3 month commitment.Breathing the Crone on Monday, December 7th 2026

The main practice is a combination of Biodynamic Breathwork which involves conscious connective breathing and myofascial unwinding along with a feminine archetypal theme.

There will be a yummy vegetarian meal to ground after our breathwork process. Please have a light dinner 30-60 minutes before arriving if you like, snacks will be available around 8:30 pm. The first journey is on Monday, November 2nd. Address provided after payment to secure your spot.

Seasons of Womanhood - An Invitation to the Fullness of Your Womanhood — Rites of Passage Council
Starting On Monday, March 18th 2024 we gather online to begin our exploration of the 13 core women’s archetypes.
These archetypes correspond to both the solar year and the lunar cycle to provide us with a map to explore the territory of being a woman.
Understanding which archetypes we are each working with helps us craft rituals that honor those phases yet unmarked, deepen into our current phase or cross the threshold into what’s next.
