Moon Cycles
Rooting and Rising is a pilgrimage back Home, a deep dive into your essence. Our online year long journeys are guided by time tested ancestral practices that will nudge you, if not jolt you, to re-member and reclaim the Wisdom of Earth Cycles that pulsates within you and weaves through the very fabric of Nature.
From the Fall Equinox of 2023 to the Fall Equinox 2024, Rooting and Rising expanded into Menopause. A vibrant cohort of powerful Women dared to Root in essence to Rise in the Heart of Elderhood. You can read about their journeys here.
Inspired by this experience we now reach out to All Women, regardless of age to Root and Rise, alone and together, in deep dialogue with the Cycles of Mother Earth and the Phases of Sister Moon to rediscover, reimagine and deepen All your Relations.
This is a call to gather and co-create a brave space where you can deeply connect with who-you-are at the different phases of your inner Moons and Seasons. In this year long immersive experience, guided by skilled and loving mature practitioners, we invite you to reveal your vision, embrace your gifts, tend to your grief and discover the potential awaiting to be seen and met in your body, in Pachamama’s body and in the body of our Communities.

What you will Receive
Our journey starts on the Spring Equinox 2025, gathering weekly online until the Spring Equinox of 2026. Throughout the year, you will receive three emails a week with prompts for reflection inviting you to explore the phases of the Moon through the lens of each one of the Four Seasons. For more information, follow this link for our Program Overview.
During the course of each month, you will have four online sessions: Living with the Elements, Write to Be You, Rites of Passage, Council Practice and a seasonal Cycle Embodiment session.
Living with the Elements with Yamin
During these sessions Yamin will share with you Taoist practices to guide you back to your nature by paying attention to Nature. In the practice of Living with the Elements, you will learn to navigate the map of the Five Phases through Elemental Archetypes, Qi Gong movements, Journaling and Meditation. Yamin will also help you design your Moon Map to rediscover or unveil the medicine of your Moon Cycle.
Write to Be You with Rory
You will have monthly opportunities to listen deeply to yourself and others, guided by Rory. As you reflect on personal and collective themes through intuitive writing prompts, you will be able to tap into your inner thoughts and emotions on a regular basis. This practice fosters a deeper connection with yourself and those around you, allowing for a greater understanding and empathy. By engaging in this process, you will have the chance to explore and express your unique perspectives, ultimately leading to personal growth and a stronger sense of community.
Rites of Passage with Cynthia
Cynthia will guide you in understanding how the ancient pan-cultural practices of initiation and rites of passage can bring whole-hearted aliveness and meaning to your life. In our monthly sessions, we will explore what new edge is being marked for each person in the group. You will have the opportunity to notice how the natural world might reflect this deep unfolding individually and collectively, through seasonal “medicine walks” on the land. Rites of passage practices help us to feel profoundly connected with ourselves, with each other, and with the wisdom and love of this great Cosmos of ours.
Cycle Embodiment with Ali
Every season, Ali will invite you to explore movement practices that resonate with the various phases of the Moon Cycle. These sessions weave together meditation, yoga-inspired postures, and fluid movements, along with guided imagery and deep relaxation. Each stage of the Moon cycle brings about unique energetic changes within your body, and in these nurturing sessions, you will learn to embrace and be guided by those energies. Ultimately, this journey encourages you to honor your body, mind, and spirit, supporting your natural rhythms while opening up to your inner wisdom.
Council Practice
At the end of each month, we will enter Council. This practice serves as a platform where we can come together, exchange wisdom and insights, and truly listen to one another as we embrace and integrate the valuable experiences lived throughout the month.
