The womb 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 interface of elemental and cosmic rhythms, the womb offers a gateway through which one can travel through and to the other-world. Undergoing a process of transfiguration we journey to the cavern of creation - using breath and imagination we can transform anything to gold. This is a path to empowerment, a deep remembrance of something ancient within us, which many of us are being called to awaken. 
...

Landing at the precipice of the Luna Eclipse in Capricorn, we will journey together under the light of the Luna Goddess, to meet with the elemental aspect of ourselves. Casting a thread out into the abyss, we follow this serpentine path through the inner cavern, seeking to unearth the wisdom of the ancient ones, and retrieving from the depths glistening jewels lying within our own temple-laboratory.

Using the sacred vessel of our bodies, we will connect to our ability to move with and contain the elements of nature. A dance of creation; we come to see ourselves as part of the great web of life, bringing luminous light to our dreams, as we begin to emerge from this collective chrysalis

This will be a process of gathering inspiration from within, seeking to nourish ourselves in this time of great change, as we feel the support of the Earth and our ancestors. 

...

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. 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 those parts of our inner being, that are often concealed behind the diaphanous veil, reclaiming our sexual sovereignty 

Whilst we embrace these wildly uncertain times, this gathering will be a soothing balm to nourish the spirit, and to come together as a hive to honour the ways in which we are connected. The feminine principle in spirituality is all that is witnessed ritual, dance, creativity, and emotion. Through coming together as a group, we experience the invisible web that connects us all, the matrix matris. Our experiences amplified through the collective journey, as we each meet with our own cista mystica, and witnessing the other, as she comes into her flowering.

Testimonials

"Participating in The Serpent & the Bee was such a beautiful and profound experience for me - with Bryony's beautiful and wise presence and guidance, I went so deeply into my own self, meeting myself in a way I never have before, connecting within in a powerful and illuminating way. I am so grateful to have been a part of this beautiful and mellifluous gathering, and to have also come away with some wonderful tools for my ongoing journey. I hope to be able to work with Bryonia again soon on this path." ~ Candice Kali Snow, Participant of The Serpent & The Bee Online Workshop

 

"Weaving poetry with divine mystery...Gently holding and intuitively creating the space for deep awakening and inner journeying... Bryony is the perfect conduit between this realm and the other worlds." ~ Rafaele Willow, Artist & Musician

 

"So blessed to deep dive like that with you and the other women. I felt as though there was a golden web created and a sacred container, even if it was online. I have a lot more journeying to do with the bee and serpent. Thank you so much for that beautiful introduction - or remembering!" ~ Stephanie, Participant of The Serpent & The Bee Online Workshop

 

"Drum journeying, plant remedies, dream visioning and dragon dreaming...I was able to connect more with my womb, see past things that may have affected that I didn't realise, it's really powerful. the dragon dreaming - is really cosmic! I can't really explain it! Different from other womb work I've been to, not just talking about feelings but really taking you on a journey." Jade, Singer/Songwriter & Artist

About your facilitator

Bryony is an initiate of a hidden, yet very much alive, ancient women's shamanic tradition, whose origins stem from the British Isles, Eastern Europe, and the temples of old in Greece, and Crete.

Having been a student and teacher of yoga for many years, specialising in Womb Yoga and Yoga Nidra, Bryony stumbled across this living pathway by a series of synchronicities and serendipitous events. This rich tradition leads the walkers of it's ways into a more empowered, and enriched life, equipping them with the tools to stand both firmly planted in the earth, whilst exploring their inner sensual and stellar selves. Skilled in bridging worlds and turning the mundane to magic, she invites those willing to dive deep, to come to the betwixt and between and discover the sweetness that it holds. 

The fusion of Bryony's training in yoga and shamanic practice allows her to navigate the architecture of holding sacred space - through ceremony, classes, workshops, retreats and one on one sessions. She offers alternative and nourishing methods for students and clients alike to discover their own medicine through movement, magic, myth and mystery school teachings. 

Hers is an ongoing inquiry - committed to the path of learning and discovery, she continues to develop her work through shamanic and yoga training and a dedicated daily practice.

 

Preparation

~This event requires free zoom account which you can set up here: https://zoom.us 

Instructions on how to join will be included in your confirmation email. 

~Due to the womb-centric nature of this work, it is open to womb-keepers, whether or not you still have your physical womb, those who identify as women and non-binary arevwelcome. It is for those individuals who seek a stronger connection to their inner Creatrix.

~A blindfold and some blankets & cushions may assist in some of the practices, along with a journal and some simple drawing materials.

~You are invited to set up a small altar in the room you will be working in, to set a sacred space for yourself. This can include for example a candle, flowers and any items that reflect to you the nature of the earth.

~It would be helpful to be working in a quiet space in which you won't be disturbed, having some space to move, and the lighting dimmed.

So many beautiful things to say about this magical weekend. So I say thank you to Bryony and Taila. Thank you for thinking of everything. Thank you for the care and the craft put into this retreat. For your devotion to the sacred, to ritual, to spirit, to us and each other. To the women who were there, and the ones who come before and after. To the primordial woman, to the future woman. To the mother, the maiden, the lover, the priestess, the wild woman, to the goddess. Thank you for the safety of the red thread, always there, as we allow ourselves to journey deep. Thank you for the permission to be as we are. The encouragement to meet our edges, the holding if we choose to jump, the freedom to be responsible for ourselves. Where all of ourselves is welcome, witnessed if so wished, left alone if so wished. Thank you to the earth goddess who nourished us with not only her food and prep, but her intention, generosity, love and care. Thank you to the land, for holding us. A beautiful reminder that we are never too much for the Earth. It transmutes all. But nature is also harsh, so thank you to the guardian of the land, for the luxurious outdoor spa and all the other comforts. Deeply grateful also for the synchronicities, the sisterhood, the sun, the rain, the full moon, the eclipse and the love. Thank you for the love. Its what we came here for after all. ♥️🌹

Beautiful, magical and transformative. During three months, I have journeyed through the cleansing fire of Mugwort, the soft watery embrace of Lady's Mantle and the mystical sensuality of the Rose. In three months, I have learned to surrender to the mystery supported by Bryony, a group of powerful womb folk and our plant allies. I am infinitely grateful for Bryony's ability to hold such a sacred space over Zoom and for my womb pod's support, which co-created this deep healing and witnessing space.

Powerful, empowering, wild. The location was breathtaking, a heaven of wild peace in an ancient woodland. I am infinitely grateful for the space held, the vulnerability, the community of the beautiful womb folk with whom I shared this experience. Womb wisdom, heart connection, sacred sexuality and sensuality, so many beautiful, rich practices tailored into a transformative weekend.

Both Bryoni and Taila have such a passion for sharing their gifts and holding space. They have a lot of deep knowledge which I didn't expect from two so young (I clearly need to work on judgement!) Thank you both for be-ing you and sharing yourself 💜

A beautifully held, safe and nourishing space facilitated by 3 gorgeous sisters. My intention was to truly honour where I am and to open up to feeling supported by sisterhood. I felt loved, cared for, seen, held, hugged, nourished and so much more. Caressed by the medicine of the rose, humbled by mama Cacao, it was a truly beautiful journey. Deeply grateful.

Many treats in today's co-lead workshop. But one of the best bits for me when I come to these workshops is the freedom to explore who I am...through singing, sound, dance, talk shares. There is something wonderful learnt in the body when we remember what it is to be in connection with the group when we are all in line doing the same thing, and still be in connection when we explore our own thing to our own rhythm. Thank you ladies. Another piece was woken today. It's also such a pleasure to witness true friendship, love, kindness and support, which is what I saw in all ladies running the show. Thank you!
