Red Moon Circle Summer School

1st – 9th July 2023

In Vamos, Crete

Welcome to the Red Moon Circle Summer School!

Join us on the wild and sacred lands of Crete to learn to create your own circles, to infuse your current offerings with circle magic, to deepen your personal practice.

From 1st to 9th July, we will immerse ourselves in the foundation curriculum that provides the core wisdom to hold circle space for women, including topics such as cyclical living, beauty medicine and trauma awareness.

The course is held in my home studio at Vamos in Apokoronas, Crete, with nearby accommodation available.

This experiential training is for you when:

You feel a longing in your heart to start holding space for women

You have started holding circle space but haven’t been trained

You are trained in circle work and want to enhance your skills

You have similar skills and want to add circle space holding

You would like to develop and deepen your own feminine practice

Training Programme

In the foundation level week, we’ll cover 6 themes on 6 days, with a rest day in between:

Day 1 Foundations: Living cyclically

Day 2 Safe space: Trauma-conscious space holding

Day 3 Beauty medicine: Healing the nervous system

Day 4 Rest day

Day 5 Sacred activism: Transitioning out of patriarchy

Day 6 Invoking the Goddess: Sensing the subtle

Day 7 Celebrations: Heart-opening rituals

Each day I’ll offer a mini-lecture about the theme of the day plus a circle so that your learnings are put into practice and they become an embodied, lived experience.

On two evenings we’ll continue with an evening circle in sacred places in nature across Apokoronas.

My Experience

My teachings are informed by 9 years experience of holding space in 1:1 sessions, workshops, circles, trainings and retreats.

I’m certified as a Madretierra Menstrual Therapist (2018), an Awakening Women’s Temple Facilitator (2018), Unesco Movement Therapist (2016) and Co-active Coach (2013).

After leaving a strategy consulting career in London to study yoga in India, I lived and worked in Auroville, an intentional community in South India, for 6 years.

Living close to nature on Crete and in India has attuned me to living cyclically – following the rhythm of the seasons, the moon, and my menstrual cycle.

Cyclical living is now at the core of my work and mission through moon circles, as well as sharing menstrual cycle knowledge as widely as possible as a tool for self knowledge and embodiment.
