Moon Dance
Step into the beauty and power of your cycle.
a 6-week journey reclaiming the sacred rhythm of the menstrual cycle through archetypal wisdom and lunar alignment
Join an intimate circle as we connect through conversation, art-making, storytelling, intuitive movement, imaginal journeys, song, and earth-based embodied practice.
Coming early spring, 2023
Held virtually via Zoom.
Our bodies dance in rhythm to the larger patterns of creation. We are not separate. We are part of a larger story. The cycle of menstruation follows the ancient dance of the moon.
Reclaim the sanctity of your blood. Discover how the wisdom of the moon is held in your body. Attune to the voice of your soul. Listen to the song of the earth and the hum of Divine Mystery within.
Why menstruation?
There are so many negative messages surrounding the menstrual cycle that prevent us from tapping into its gift and its power. By weaving new stories, we bring healing and transformation to our bodies, the earth, and future generations.
Moon Dance is about healing from long-standing cultural taboos. It’s about breaking free from shame so that we might step more boldly into our beauty and power as cyclical beings.
The patriarchy wants us to march in a straight line, but our bodies are meant to dance in whirling cycles.

A supportive community to hold your story and experience
1:1 support and encouragement
Archetypal wisdom and stories for each of the 4 phases of the cycle
Embodied, creative practices to deepen you into body and soul
Space for discussion, exploration and play

Real love for your menstrual cycle! Wow!
“Moon Dance has been the missing piece of connecting me to my body.”
— Kacey J., participant
Who is this for?
This journey is designed with womxn and bleeders in mind. We recognize that not everyone who bleeds identifies as a womxn, and not every womxn bleeds. Many womxn have undergone hysterectomies and no longer have a menstrual cycle. However, the menstrual and lunar cycles hold archetypal wisdom that is powerful medicine for any body. We welcome anyone who is curious about connecting to these sacred rhythms on a deeper level. I am committed to creating and holding a safe container that honors you exactly as you are.
Remember the wisdom of your body as it dances with the moon.
Week 1: Remember
We will begin with a Ceremony of Remembrance, journeying into wisdom of the ancient past as well as the memories held in our bodies to discover the stories of passage we carry around menstruation.
Week 4: Discern
Enter the dark gifts of the luteal phase. Sharpen your perception, trust your intuition, and glean the wisdom of your shadow. Learn the ancient practice of womb steaming to sink deeper into your own inherent knowing.
Week 2: Inspire
The follicular phase invites us to kindle our creative fire. Through breath, sounding, and intuitive movement, awaken to the creative energy of your womb space. Cultivate a sense of play, joy, and potency.
Week 5: Dream
The menstrual phase invites us into dreamtime, a space of deep listening. Use your menstrual time as a way to listen to your body, your soul, and the earth. Say a deep yes to rest.
Week 3: Radiate
Ovulation is a time of outward manifestation. It is time to shine. Cultivate your fullness, take up ALL the space! Activate your pleasure, and reclaim the sacredness of your desire. Let's dance with the full moon and feast on the gift of whole-hearted living.
Week 6: Celebrate
We will close our sacred journey with a Ceremony of Celebration. A time for integration of the gifts of the journey, storytelling and reflection. Through ritual, we'll make an offering to the earth and a sacred commitment to ourselves.

Hi, I’m Stephanie! I am a creative contemplative, sacred space holder, priestess of presence, and ritual weaver. I am passionate about deepening our connection to the earth, our bodies, and the Divine Mystery that dances in all that is.
While struggling for years with unexplained infertility, the monthly arrival of my period caused me profound grief. Cultivating a new relationship with my menstrual cycle has been a profoundly healing and empowering part of my story. I am so excited to share the beauty and power of the menstrual cycle with others. I truly believe that this shift in awareness has the power to bring deep healing to our relationship with our bodies and the planet. It would be an honor to journey together with you.
