Womb Priestess Practitioner Training
A 12-month professional training in womb wisdom, ritual, ceremony and embodied healing
There are moments in a woman’s life when the person she has been can no longer remain the same.
The first blood.
The opening of sexuality.
Motherhood and the loss of it.
Birth and rebirth.
Grief.
The ending of a relationship.
Perimenopause and menopause.
The death of someone we love.
The quiet, disorientating threshold between one life and the next.
These are the places where the old stories can surface, where the body speaks what words cannot, and where a woman may need more than another treatment.
She may need to be witnessed.
She may need ritual.
She may need to remember her body as sacred.
She may need someone who knows how to sit beside her at the threshold without rushing her through it.
The Womb Priestess Practitioner Training is a 12-month professional practitioner pathway for women who are already qualified in another complementary, therapeutic or embodied modality and feel called to deepen their work with women through the wisdom of the womb, priestess practice and sacred ceremony.
This is not a course in adding a collection of techniques to your existing practice.
It is an invitation to develop the capacity to hold women through transformation.
Over the year, you will learn to weave together embodied womb work, somatic practice, ritual and ceremony, sacred oils, womb massage, yoni steaming, womb wrapping, guided meditation, drumming, regression and journey work, crystals, archetypal exploration and women’s circle — creating a deeply rooted, trauma-aware approach to supporting women through the thresholds of their lives.
Alongside the practical work, we will travel the Wheel of the Year, entering the mysteries through the changing seasons and working with the elemental, shamanic and archetypal wisdom held within each turn of the wheel.
The Goddesses become companions.
The female archetypes become mirrors.
The womb becomes both physical body and symbolic threshold.
And the Magdalene current provides a thread running through the work: a lineage of embodied feminine wisdom, devotion, compassion, sovereignty, grief, death, rebirth and remembrance.
This is both training and initiation.
You will not simply learn how to facilitate these practices for other women.
You will be invited to walk through your own thresholds as you learn.
To explore your relationship with your body, your womb, your ancestors, your voice, your boundaries, your sexuality, your grief, your power and your capacity to be present with another woman’s experience.
Because we cannot ask another woman to enter territory we have never been willing to enter ourselves.
The year therefore moves as a spiral rather than a straight line:
Descent → Rooting → Awakening → Embodiment → Expression → Integration → Initiation
Much of the training takes place online, through live teaching, practice, reflection and integration, allowing the work to become part of your life rather than something you step into for a weekend and leave behind.
Then, at key points on the Wheel of the Year, we gather at Rowan Grove for intimate residential retreats — moving from learning, into embodiment, into lived priestess practice.
Around the fire.
In the yurt.
In ceremony.
In nature.
In community.
And eventually, at the turning of the Wheel, we return to the place where we began — not as the same women who entered, but carrying something we are now ready to offer in service to others.
This is the path of the Womb Priestess Practitioner.
A practitioner who can meet women at the threshold.
Who understands that healing is not always about fixing.
Who knows when to guide, when to witness, when to hold and when to refer.
Who can bring together body, ritual, story, archetype, nature and sacred practice with discernment and integrity.
And who is ready to carry this work into her own practice.
The descent begins within.
The wisdom is embodied.
The priestess emerges through the work.
