Medicine Woman Gather

Welcome to Medicine Woman Gather
Hosted by Lauren Daoulas & Mel Annette

Medicine Woman Gather is a co-created earth medicine and wisdom-sharing circle to celebrate each other's sacred arts.

Our gathering is infused with breath, movement, poetry, nature, plant medicine, song and much more. At this stage, we are still accepting applications from Medicine Women who feel called to share their craft.

The flow of the day is a weaving of 9 women, each sharing their medicine in a 20-minute timeslot.

We have confirmed the following: 

• Opening circle
• Sound healing
• Word medicine through story
• Nature connection

+ Cacao served by @groundedcup

We are calling in those who would like to share:

• Song weaving
• Breathwork
• Meditation
• Somatic movement
• Shamanic drumming
• Artforms of any kind
• Anything else

Who this circle is for:

Creatives, artists, healers, therapists, herbalists, storytellers, poets, natural medicine women and all who feel called to receive the medicine of our collective magic and are open to share their own medicine and gifts.

BYO (suggestions):

• Gifts, passions, art, medicine to share
• Nature element to add to the altar
• Mat, cushion, rug, camping chair or whatever else you may need to be comfortable
• Food platter or fruit to add to the communal picnic table
• Water bottle and any other non-alcoholic drinks of your preference

Exchange: FREE for those sharing their medicine, $10-35 pay what you can for those receiving

All profits from this event will be donated to Djirra - an organisation and place where culture is shared and celebrated, and where practical support is available to all Aboriginal women and particularly to Aboriginal people who are currently experiencing family violence or have in the past. 

Djirra is the Woiwurrung word for the reed used by Wurundjeri women for basket weaving. Traditionally, when women gathered to weave, important talks took place and problems were solved. Djirra symbolises Aboriginal women today, still  coming together to share stories, support each other and find solutions.

We acknowledge that we gather on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging, and extend our respect to all First Nations people.
