Join us for an afternoon of powerful priestess practises to connect us to our sacred sexual energy and bring the ancient ways into our modern lives.

We thought ‘what would we love to spend the afternoon doing?’ and we are inviting you to join us!

We will get out a gazillion essential oils and each intuit and create a personal anointing oil. We’ll anoint ourselves with these oils and use breath practises and visualisations to activate our sacred sexual energy. We will forage for herbs and use them to immerse ourselves in a group yoni steam. And we will walk a labyrinth in an intention setting ritual.

Mary Magdalene reminds us that we are both fully human and fully divine. This will be an afternoon to step aside from the humdrum and stresses of modern life to feel both our divinity and also the delicious sensuality of our aliveness.

Come pray and play with us!!

Some info about Yoni Steams:

The Yoni Steam dates back thousands of years and is seen in almost every indigenous culture and its popularity has been steadily growing in the West, for good reason.

Yoni is the Sanskrit word for vagina, womb and goddess. Yoni steaming, also known as vaginal steaming, is a holistic health practice whereby a woman experiences the warmth of herbal steam gently permeating the exterior of her vagina.

Yoni steaming brings us into connection with our yoni and with our sacred sexual essence. Delicious!

And the combination of heat and herbs is also incredibly healing for the whole of the reproductive area, and can be used to treat a range of physical symptoms, including menstrual pain and irregular periods, fibroids, yeast infections, fertility issues, post natal healing and scarring, and menopausal symptoms. In addition to this, yoni steaming can be an excellent way to release emotional blocks and trauma.

Beyond self-care, vaginal steaming empowers women to have autonomy over their own gynaecological well-being by treating gynaecological health challenges in an amazingly gentle, non-intrusive, non-pharmacologic, non-invasive, and non-surgical manner.

Please be aware that steaming is unsuitable
•       If you are pregnant:
•       If you are trying to conceive and have already ovulated for the month or been medically inseminated.
•       If you have had a history of two periods per month for the last three months:
•       If you are currently menstruating

 Although many turn to vaginal steaming to address menstrual problems, steaming during active menstruation or fresh spotting is contraindicated. Steaming while bleeding can be dangerous because the steam speeds up the blood flow and can cause heavy bleeding. Instead, steaming should be done before and after the period, which will help aid the natural uterine cleanse.

Here are some of the countless benefits of Yoni Steaming:
- Significantly reduce pain, bloating and exhaustion associated with menstruation
- Balance menstrual flow, as well as reduce dark purple or brown blood at the onset or end of menses
- Regulate irregular or absent menstrual cycles
- Increase fertility
- Speed healing and tone the reproductive system after birth
- Reduce uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, uterine weakness, uterine prolapse & endometriosis
- Assist with the repair of a vaginal tear, episiotomy, or C-section scar
- Assist with the healing of hemorrhoids
- Relieve chronic vaginal/yeast infections
- Detoxify the womb and remove toxins from the body
- Release stored emotions and tap into the energy that is our creative potential
- Ease symptoms of menopause including dryness or pain during intercourse. Most vaginal steaming experts believe that perimenopause and menopause is one of the best times for a woman to steam. Case studies and reports from peri-menopausal and menopausal women have shown that steaming can effectively moisturise, cleanse excess cervical fluid, increase libido, and encourage deeper sleep, among other benefits.
