Feminine Wisdom Courses
Living in a world that has been masculine in orientation, much of women's knowledge has not been a part of our institutionalized education. This omission has been detrimental to the fabric of life and community across the globe. Women are graced with amazing feminine capacities and our bodies and beings are capable of so much that many of us are not even aware of. The more we understand our inherent design, and the more opportunities we have to experience that design, the more whole we become. The more whole we become, the more empowered and inspired we will be to share our true gifts with the world.
The following courses are designed to help women rediscover and reconnect with the women's wisdom that is our birthright.

Feminine Self Care
A class designed to educate women on self-care measures that improve health of the feminine organs (Breasts, Ovaries, Uterus, and Cervix). Physical, emotional and energetic practices will be explored, as well as the basis for why these practices are effective. These tools can empower you in your life, in your womanhood, and as a self healer. The class is non-medical and based on healing from within.
Feminine Anatomy 101: What Every Woman Should Know About Her Body
The intention of this course is to provide information on our feminine anatomy in a way that "sex education" did not. We will explore our feminine anatomy physically, emotionally and energetically. You will learn more about the muscles, bones, ligaments and organs of the pelvic bowl. We will look at the endocrine system, the relation to the chakras and the reproductive organs, discussing the manifestation of health and dysfunction for each. We will touch briefly on the magnetic polarity of the feminine and the feminine life cycles. There will be guided meditation and journaling.
Feminine Sexuality: The Nature of Sex from the Feminine Perspective
Sexuality is a fundamental force of nature. It has an enormous influence on our lives, our communities, our culture. Sexuality as most of us know it is based on a masculine model and is not understood in its fullness. For all things to be whole, the feminine and masculine must be in balance. The intention of this course is to help women understand the feminine sexual perspective and cultivate a deeper connection with themselves and the power they can source in cultivating their feminine sexual magnetism.
The Feminine Life Cycle: Rediscover the Healing Power of your Menses, Giving Birth and Menopause
Women have a life cycle, as do men, that flows with the cycles of nature and with the cycle of their own life and personal evolution. Understanding our cycles and the opportunities for growth that are inherent within them can help us grow, learn and evolve on our path.
The Feminine Root of Taoism - QiGong Practice for Women
These classes are about balance and the reconnection with self and nature. Drawing on teachings from many traditions, the practices are designed to empower women and reconnect them with their innate feminine magnetic potential. By re-connecting with the breath, the belly, and the ability to surrender, and eventually emptiness, great energy is liberated, blocks are released and strength is cultivated. Qigong helps build and store the energy we need to move through life (external) and nei gung cultivates internal alchemy, circulating and radiating the stored energy, bringing balance to inner and outer, masculine and feminine, water and the fire.
Yoga for Women
The essence of a feminine path of yoga is aligning with our hearts deepest desire, allowing us to surrender into our joy and experience more freedom and grace in our lives. Awakening the heart center and flowing from deep connection to an authentic natural impulse of life brings us more in touch with our intuitive nature. Experiencing ourselves from this centered and open place brings a growing fulfillment and allows our body and mind to relax, unwind and release in new and powerful ways, liberating us to bring our true hearts gifts to the world.
