YOUR FACILITATOR…

MELANIE BLACKSMITH is Wildly Passionate about Women, Nature, untamable & deeply compassionate Wildness, the Deep Feminine, HER; SHE.

Melanie began apprenticing to The Path of Sacred Women’s Work and devotion to The Goddess … beginning 2017 at the Wise Women’s Gathering in NSW.  After a powerful keynote speech by wise woman and beautiful Elder/Maga Jane Hardwick-Collings of The School of Shamanic Womencraft, Melanie felt a fire burning inside she had not felt for many years.  Since that moment of activation she has whole heartedly followed The Path towards her calling through transformational trainings such as… 

Four Seasons Journey, School of Shamanic Womencraft (2019)
3 month journey on Ancestral landscape of Northern Scotland and Orkney standing Stones (2019)
Vision Quest, Claire Dunn/Nature’s Apprentice (2020)
Nature Based Leadership Training, Ceres & Nature’s Apprentice (2022)
Transpersonal Counselling, College of Complementary Medicine - soon to be completed (2022-24)
Facilitating online and inperson women’s circles and ecstatic dance from 2021
Facilitating women’s nature connection, full moon wanders, and the Heroine’s Journey (Celtic Myth & Creative Writing) 2022&23

Amongst many, many other trainings in support of the work to curate, cultivate and facilitate safe containers and spaces for women to connect with their wild self, to hear and express ‘Her’ voice through the medium she wishes to be known, be it Dance, Art, Writing, Vocalising, however you feel called.  She is welcome.  You are so very welcome, darling, embraced - as you are.

Melanie currently resides in Healesville, Wurundjeri Country with her two daughters and Cavoodle.  Her greatest passion is supporting women in taking their POWER BACK.  In realising full potential, remembering Beauty as birth rite and essential to Womanly-ness - as a gift to one’s own Red Thread, (Maternal line) past, present and emerging - supporting women in attending to their Sacred Wound as their power-medicine in all directions.  Truly, becoming Voice of your Ancestor’s.

POWER full.
SACRED.

AGREEMENTS…

In this space primary we honour : SOVEREIGNTY . SYNERGY . SACREDNESS

These may be true in various ways, however primarily Sovereignty speaks to your right to feel safe and be you in addition to Self Responsibility in attending to Self Care (asking for your needs and receiving), Synergy invites how do we balance our Sovereignty with each other (showing up early to be ready ‘on time’, communicating extra or special needs with your space holder, listening deeply when your sister’s are sharing, meeting your wild edge with courage as a gift to the group), and Sacredness honours that what moves and emerges in this and these spaces is sacred and as such stays in the moment, all held confidentially.  These are the foundational contracts that allow the ‘MAGIC’ to happen.  Isn’t that delightful. :)

Blessings best beloveds and lots of love,

Melanie
