Rite of Woman - a sacred evening of feminine wisdom

Rite of Woman: A Sacred Weaving of Feminine Wisdom 

For centuries, women have gathered in sacred circle—beneath the moon, by the fire, in the red tent—to mark the great thresholds of life. 

Rites of passage have always been the heartbeat of the feminine journey, guiding us through the sacred transitions of womanhood, motherhood, eldership and beyond. These ceremonies were not just traditions—they were vital initiations, anchoring us in our power, our purpose and our place in the great web of life.

Yet, in the modern world, these rituals have faded. We move through life’s trials and tribulations alone, without the guidance of our elders, without the sisterhood that once held us, without the sacred mirrors to remind us who we truly are. 
But now, we gather once more.
This is your invitation to step into a living rite of passage, to sit in ceremony and to reclaim the power and wisdom of the divine feminine through an archetypal activation. 
Join us for an evening of storytelling, somatic embodiment and sacred sisterhood, we will awaken the many faces of the feminine that reside within you so you can live a life that is true to you.

Your guides for this transformational evening:

🔥 Sarah Jane Perman – Mother priestess, sacred space holder and feminine temple arts initiate will guide you into the body as a vessel of alchemy, clearing old paradigms and awakening your true essence.
🔥 Saoirse Connolly – Mother, mentor, author and publisher of the best selling Rebel Ma anthology books will lead a spoken-word ceremony and archetypal activation of the mythical feminine, reclaiming matriarchal wisdom for ourselves and the generations to come.
🔥 Catriona Byrne – Yoga therapist, birth doula, rite-of-passage facilitator and marine mammal research rescuer, who weaves ancient practices that honour the thresholds of womanhood and illuminate the path home.
This is more than a gathering. This is a return to your essence. A homecoming. A rebirth.
Come, sit in ceremony and remember who you are.
Claim your place and bring your sisters. Spaces are limited. 
Price $39 or reach out if you are not financially abundant but don't want to miss out. We want to ensure this is possible for all with a deep desire to sit in circle with us. 

✨ As we weave our stories, we weave our healing. The bestselling Rebel Ma - Healing in the Time of the Feminine: Women’s Stories of Liberation anthology, co-authored by Saoirse and Sarah, will be available for purchase and signing on the night. This powerful collection of stories is a siren call to all—to weave the return of matriarchal leadership back into the fabric of the world. The authors will be present to answer questions on the rite of passage that is writing and birthing a book in sisterhood, celebration and collaboration—a healing journey of reclamation, visibility and transformation. And for those feeling the call to share their own story, a special invitation will be extended to join the final book in the Rebel Ma trilogy, publishing this July—a chance to become a bestselling author and add your voice to this global movement of feminine liberation.
