“Sessions like this are creating a ‘better’ world. ‘Better’ means beautiful, mystical, loving, compassionate. Thank you everyone for the safe and meaningful journey. Infinite love.”  - Annamaria
 

Welcome to The Womb Cave, a monthly sanctuary for Women and Womb Folk to gather under the Full Moon in the embrace of community, ritual and nourishment.

This month we gather under the Hunter's Moon.

Here we take time to retreat from the everyday, to journey to the fertile depths of the feminine darkness to nourish ourselves before the turning of the next cycle. 

This is a place of creativity, embodiment and ritual where we explore practices that have been received via direct revelation from the Womb space, rooted in animistic practices and inner alchemy traditions such as womb yoga and tantra.

These gatherings are gently designed for nourishing intimacy with the body and community as we re-wild our Womb - our seat if power delving into the magic of Shamanic Womb Arts.

Through devotion we can access the creative and transformative gifts of the Womb, reconnecting us to our true essence, rooted in consciousness of the Earth.

Practices we will explore:

• Shamanic Womb Work
• Somatic Movement
• Flower Codes: The Rose
• Creative Ritual
• Womb Yoga
• Eros Embodiment
• Sharing Circles

The Call

Your Womb is a portal of creation.

Listen deep, and you will hear her calling you Home.

This is for Women who feel the drum beat of their Womb, calling them back to the ancient ways. 

It is for those hold a deep remembering of when a Women's body was seen as an embodiment of the Earth, revered as sacred and whole.

In this modern age, the symptoms of a society disconnected from our bodies and the Earth are becoming more prevalent. The rise in Womb health conditions, such as PCOS, endometriosis, uterine fibroids and chronic fatigue are a by-product of a world that is far removed from the cyclical rhythms that are here to guide us through this ever-changing landscape. This evening circle is about returning to ourselves in our fullness, integrated in all aspects: health, wellbeing, creativity, spirituality, vocal activation and community. 

Here we honour the intelligence of the Earth and our own bodies. 

Within a supportive group of Womxn, we unearth our wild feminine power through an in-depth workshop discovering the multi-dimensional nature of our Wombs and wild nature of female sensuality and power.

An offering to come home to ourselves - body, blood and flesh, so that we find a way back to source through ritual and community, and from that space we can allow ourselves to e-merge once more.

“Beautiful and nurturing perfect combination of personal work and circling, meditation and embodiment. Very deep work, very grateful.”

Why the Womb?

As the interface of elemental and cosmic rhythms, the Womb offers a gateway through which one can travel through and to the other-world. 

It is a place of alchemy. Within her void like chamber, holds the capacity to trans-mutate energy, the current of life force from one form to another.

As the source of our feminine essence, it houses our power, passion and purpose. 

However, through living in a fast-paced culture that reveres “progress” and superficial beauty over the depth of wisdom our body and Earth holds, many are disconnected from the source of our creative essence. We have come to fear the dark, ignoring the cyclical rhythms that call us home to restore, reflect and incubate our inner knowing. This separation causes us to doubt and question our intuition, undervalue our creative expression and ignore the signals from our body when it asks us to slow down and listen.

These sessions are a calling to return to the Mystery; the restorative dark of our Wombs, to retreat, find nourishment and explore practices that bring balance to the body and soul, awakening the creative and sensual essence.

…

As we begin to embody the wisdom within us, we can grow a deeper trust and sense of acceptance towards ourselves, honouring the inner knowing that we have when we let our intuition and our Womb lead the way.

“Bryony is absolutely incredible. This is one of the best courses I have ever taken in it's layers of depth, curiosity and inspiration. Bryony is present, thorough and inspiring. I couldn't recommend this course more.” 
- Jessica

Ritual and Myth

"A ritual is the enactment of a myth. And, by participating in the ritual, you are participating in the myth. And since myth is the projection of the depth of wisdom of the psyche, by participating in ritual, participating in myth, you are being, as it were, put in accord with that wisdom, which is the wisdom that is inherent within you anyhow. Your consciousness is being reminded of the wisdom of your own life." ~ Joseph Campbell

Following the methodologies of ritual, we undergo the process of separation from the mundane, transformation through weaving magic into being, and integration by expressing creatively our experiences. 

Using tools of shamanic practices, sound, breath, meditation, movement and Womb yoga - we will uncover parts of our inner being, that are often concealed behind the veil, reclaiming our sexual sovereignty . 

Whilst we embrace these wildly uncertain times, these gatherings will be a soothing balm to nourish the spirit, as we come together as a group of Womxn to honour the ways in which we are connected. 

The feminine principle in spirituality is all that is witnessed - ritual, dance, creativity, and emotion. Our experiences become amplified through the collective journey, as we each meet with our own Womb Cave, and witnessing the other as she enters the darkness with us.

"Thank you Bryony for such crafting and holding such a powerful space. I can't express how meaningful and potent this journey was for me in the context of healing sexual trauma." - Em

Testimonials

“This was such a beautiful event. Bryony facilitated and held the space in such a wonderful way, that is was safe enough for healing to happen. Although this was only a taster the depth of the work was apparent which could be felt through Bryony's devotion, passion and love for the work. I have a lot of gratitude, thank you so much for this event." 
- Georgie

“Yet again Bryony has succeeded in putting together three hours of mind, body and soul nourishing material which brings together a group of sisters who have never met and yet, share such a special connection, throughout the experience. By channelling the magical energy of the serpent, I managed to shed aspects of grief and trauma through a somatic movement practice and embodied visions of what I wanted to manifest. Bryony is a humble and skilled facilitator who weaves together ancient knowledge with bespoke practices to create a truly unique and unforgettable workshop that will have lasting effects in your day to day life. I can't recommend her work enough.” 
- Jess

“There is something powerful and magical about when women come together. Bryony was the most amazing guide and space holder....and the space was indeed a treat to be in! A cocoon away from the world full of magic, stillness, safety and quiet potential. Bryony was very skilled and able to invite and tease out a way of leaving all women there so connected by the end of the workshop. I loved the singing...the partner work, the circles where I felt supported and included as part of the group, the chats to deepen bonds over snacks, the mudra work and nidra. Very powerful.” 
- Kate

“Such a gorgeous experience, witnessing and being witnessed is so powerful, since the session I've been celebrating a deeper connection with my womb and the life force, which we awakened together. I highly recommend Bryonia as her wisdom, which she shares serves profound healing and supports awakening joy and creativity. The aftercare is also thoughtful and beautiful, the mediation and other resources shared supports me to go even deeper with this practice.” 
- Annamaria

Who is this workshop for? Is this the right space for you?
 

This is a place for authentic connection, deep listening and community. You will be invited to explore content such as sexuality and emotions, so it is important for our own integrity and welfare of those attending that we share these points for you to be sure that this space is suitable for you.

Our intention is to offer work that is inclusive, however through our own practices of listening, learning and unlearning - we have decided that this space is specifically for female-embodied beings aka those with Yoni's and Womb's (whether or not still physically present) - which includes non-binary and gender fluid folk. 

Our reasons for this is that some of the content is very specific to the female anatomy - we will be speaking of the Womb, the Yoni and other aspects of the female body. We also recognise that we do not have the experience required to hold space safely beyond this within this setting, and want all of those that attend feel held and acknowledged. So the most responsible decision we can make is to recognise our limitations, as this offers a much a safer and authentic space for everyone. We are passionate about continuing to learn and grow in this.

We also want you to note that while this work may have therapeutic benefits, this is not therapy or a replacement for therapy. If you are experiencing significant mental health challenges we strongly encourage you to seek 1-1 support from a qualified psychotherapist. 

Some of the content shared by participants in sharing circles may be triggering or traumatic in nature. This immersion is designed to create a space for us to be open and honest with each other about our experiences, as we explore some new and unchartered territory. Sharing and listening is an important aspect of this, and can support the process of transformation, and simply being.

While we do our best to create an environment that feels safe and inclusive, it is your responsibility to look after your own needs and boundaries. If this is something you struggle with, or you are concerned about any element of this retreat please contact us in advance. We are very willing to chat on the phone and check in about whether this retreat is right for you at this time.
