What is Moontime Initiation?

As human wombyn, we have SEVEN pivotal moments in our life cycle — portals of growth that unlock potential for life-long health — Menarche is one of them.

These windows of time, depending on how they are tended to, can EITHER lay the foundation for increased well-being, OR diminish it.

Let us repair what is needed in us and rejoice as mothers-in-power so we can embody true wombyn-oriented self-care.

We can do it with grace, humor, creativity, and magick!

What qualifies Roxanne & Carolyn to be offering this work?

We are mothers, and we both wish we had this as girls. We have facilitated this group before, however this year we have made updates, changes & expansions to the offering.

We have dedicated our time & heartfelt inquiry into how we can re-parent ourselves through this process in our own lives.

We are both graduates of the INNATE Postpartum Care Training and have extensive knowledge of women’s bodies and what they need to be physiologically, psychologically & spiritually healthy.

What is included?

The facilitators’ time for all sessions, all materials for the creative projects (self-care box items the girls will be making and the mama’s projects too), all course material handouts and digital access.

What is NOT included?

Meals. Everyone will bring a nourishing dish to share and their own snacks.

What will my daughter be doing?

She will be in a group of her peers with Carolyn facilitating. Each Meeting will be a combination of creativity projects (drawing, beading, etc.) and learning about the corresponding season and bodily cycle. By the end of the course, she will have a Moontime Self-Care-Kit of items she has made herself and been gifted.

What will I be doing?

You will be in a group of the mamas with Roxanne facilitating. Our group will focus on a different & relevant theme each meeting and include tea ceremony, creative activities on the land, sharing circle, re-learning about our bodies and how we can support our cycles as wombyn & mothers. You will be holding space for your daughter & leading by example.
