a time to awaken the Wild Woman and begin birthing the voice that has been waiting to be heard.
This circle will gently guide you into practices designed to open and unblock the throat chakra, supporting authentic expression, emotional release, and deeper connection to your inner truth.
Through movement, sound, and ritual, we soften what has kept us quiet and reclaim the voice that lives in the body.
This women’s circle will include:
• Full Moon ritual & intention setting
• Ecstatic dance to move emotion and energy through the body
• Voice activation practices to support throat chakra opening
• Journaling for integration and reflection
• Grounded closing circle
No prior experience with movement or voice work is needed.
This is not about performance — it is about presence.
$45/person.
