at the Well of the Goddess
A Gathering for Maidens and Mothers
Friday July 15th 3pm – Sunday July 17th 4pm
Anchored by priestesses: Amanda Ananda, Jessica LaBrie, Melodie Fallon and Jonah Ruh Roberts
Come and join us for a gorgeous welcoming embrace into the beauty, creativity, magic and wisdom of the temple of the feminine for mothers and their daughters who have entered or who are approaching menarche.
Gathering around the hearth, the sacred fire and in the moon lodge, we will share body wisdom, moon magic, song, and deep heart shares to receive and infuse in the beauty of all that it is to be women in community.
This gathering is a wellspring for mothers to shake off the isolation of the pandemic, and be held, seen, loved and nourished, and to share heart, tears, fears, sorrows, losses and longings for themselves and their daughters and take a deeper step into receiving from and embracing the beauty and magic of the feminine.
And it is wellspring for young women to be awakened into the temple of the divine feminine, to learn essential body wisdom and self care and to be seen, loved and heard in their struggles, hopes, challenges and dreams so they can embrace their gorgeous selves with more confidence and self love.
This weaving created by four priestesses of the wise woman ways is a feast of love for the nurturers and a life giving womb for the culture we are engendering.
We will be creating a beautiful rhythm of movement, herb walks, breakfast and story time, break out circles with different opportunities throughout the day, and then again coming back together in the evening for story time and evening circles.

Forgiveness Ceremony– For Mothers
“If we really want to learn to love, we must learn how to forgive.” ~ Mother Teresa
When we release the wall of bitterness and resentment around our hearts, we create a greater capacity for love, compassion and Shakti energy to be expressed through us. Stuck feelings, shame and old pain create stagnant energy in our being and heart. This Ritual will help to move these energies up and out and allow us to experience more Ananda (bliss) in our lives. We will gently open our hearts to be able to receive more love and connection. Come and walk through your shadows accompanied by loving and supporting energy and leave feeling lighter, expanded and extraordinarily connected to yourself, your community and the divine.

“If we really want to learn to love, we must learn how to forgive.” ~ Mother Teresa
In this ceremony, we will receive and share the 13th Munay Ki Rite of the Womb, a blessing from a spirit lineage of women in the Amazon that was originally initiated with Marcela Lobos, a powerful feminine mystic! Our wombs are not meant to be sponges for fear & pain, together we heal one another, and remember to create and give birth to new life with womb-sovereignty.

“I felt deep healing from the circle this weekend. I feel I really purged lifetimes of debris in the ceremony. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.”
– Sharon F.
“Space, space, space, holding space. For people, for the unknown, for possibilities. Your herbs are really helping me with this and you set it all in motion with the healing you gave me. Not only did it help me integrate all the energy I was experiencing but it has shifted something about how I process new challenges since. Your own heart and your own connection to source are so clear it feels like you bring me right there, too. Thank you. You are both a healer and a teacher of possibilities. “
– Christopher M.
“Jo, I want you to know that your touch, presence and demeanor in the healing space are life changing. No expectations going with the flow creates a depth, an opening, an opportunity that is found in very few practitioners. The Divine was pulsating through me yesterday. It is bliss when that is present. Thank you!”
– Jane K.
“I am already feeling the shift. My throat chakra is open and my home life feels harmonious for the first time in ages. I woke up to two beautiful messages from women I held in my heart last night. The healing has begun!! Forever grateful!!”
– Jessica B.
“The herbs I have bought from you are having wonderful results! So far, I am thrilled with two really good night’s sleep since I saw you and a fine day of work yesterday. I love the liver support tea. I have used many other forms of liver support over the years, none have had the effect that your tea has had with me. I love them all….and I am really curious about what the difference is between your herbal support and the others.”
– Tafi B.
“I reached out to Jonah for help managing my newly realized empathic and intuitive skills as I found myself getting easily overwhelmed with others’ emotions or caught up sorting through too much information. Her ability to point out some hidden patterns I was not aware of was was most impactful to me. Jonah has a peaceful presence, deeply grounded experience, and a gift of seeing into my soul. I’m thrilled that I have felt steady, clear and as if I have a dial that allows the right messages to come through as I desire. I notice this as I have spent the last 2 weeks visiting 4 families on our road trip vacation. This would normally have me frazzled and spread thin. Instead I feel full, connected to myself and peaceful. Thank you Jonah!”
– Crystal Y.
