Full Moon Drumming
Circles: 7-9pm $20-$25
April 7, May 4, June 2
Discover the healing properties of a drumming circle! Throughout history,
women have gathered in circles to drum, dance and connect with one another
as a community. Drumming circles offer an excellent way for women to explore
their own personal rhythms while sharing in the spirit and song of the drumming
circle. Thirteen Moon's full moon drumming circles use rhythm as a meditative
and therapeutic activity. Everyone can participate regardless of musical background.
Drums available for small additional charge. Refreshments served afterwards.
The Eight Primary
Challenges of Life 9am – 4pm $145
March 17
As we enter the second half of our lives we begin to feel that pull to go deeper into our real life purpose. Things like a spotless house, our careers, the perfect dress become less important and time spent in silence, with nature and our friends become more important. A longing to connect with the Divine that dwells deep within our being takes priority over everything else. For some of us, this brings up questions that need to be answered so we can move forward into our future with grace and confidence. The responsibility to pass on what we have learned to the next generation, through our individual life experiences, is a very important part of our journey as women. Our wisdom needs to be shared. We naturally carry that creative/birthing energy to be used in sharing our wisdom to the end of our physical lives.
This workshop will facilitate that process. Wendy challenges
all Crones and Wisewomen in the making: “Let’s do our work, the
world is waiting for us".
Cost includes day long workshop, snacks and lunch. Overnight and weekend packages
also available.

Some other programs that Wendy facilitates:
Rites of Passage
This event is geared to daughters who are about to enter into their first
moon cycle as well as those who have recently done so and wish to celebrate
it in a meaningful way. With guidance from Wendy, a loving mother and grandmother,
participants will create a beautiful Rites of Passage ceremony both mothers
and daughters will cherish for the rest of their lives. This retreat will
no longer be part of our regular calendar though it can be booked
for your group of friends.
“The Rites of Passage weekend provided extraordinary
tools for guiding my daughter on her path as she discovers her womanhood.”
PVR, Kingston.
Light as a Feather
This 5 day retreat will consist of activities that will help you feel like
a feather, physically light and yet soaring to your highest needs internally.
Taking care of you will be our goal. The days will be designed according to
what you need. “Everyday you can take part in a Yoga session with yoga
instructor Vicki Barkla, a former teacher who has been practicing yoga for
over 25 years who will tailor each session to your level of experience. You
will also have the opportunity to enjoy some rejuvenating body work.”
We hope to make this a week you will never forget and you’ll want to
add to your calendar every year. It is time for women to have an experience
like this - to just be and float through the day like a feather would float
in the air.
Coping with the Challenges of Parenting
At this time in our so called evolution we are facing a real epidemic of
lost children. It's time to stop talking and take some positive action
to change things before they get any worse.Children need to know they are
LOVED, and not through the acquiring of
things, but through quality time with their parents and close family.
This costs nothing.Our children need HOPE, we must always encourage them to
reach their potential by showing them what is working, rather then what is
not
working.Our children need to know they are ENTERING A SAFE PLACE, whenever
or whatever they bring to the table. They must know that you will listen and
help them to make right choices. Screaming at them or telling them I am too
busy right now, just isn't good enough. Make the time.
Bring your challenges to the circle and be willing
to listen and committ
to making changes that will help our children reach their potential.As
Ghandi said...Be the change you want to see in the world.
