MEDICINE WOMAN MOVEMENT - Year long Journey
April 2023- April 2024 Jersey Channel Islands UK
Welcome to a deeply transformative year-long Journey for Women that will take place over 13 moon cycles.
This year-long deep immersion serves as an introduction into a path of reconnection to the Medicine Woman within you. A profound healing journey home. It offers a compass and an anchor to your wild and beautiful creative nature, along with welcoming & witnessing the darkness and shadow lands that are part of this voyage home to our true power and sense of belonging.
In this journey , you will begin to reclaim, activate and remember Ancient Wisdom that will optimise your well being and embodiment. As you engage with this medicine, you will receive clarity and revelations as well as potent alchemy.
Within the ceremonies and with the commitment to integrate the practices you receive ,you will find a deep weaving of healing taking place that will ripple into your daily life, you will find and can choose new ways of being that allow you to give from a nourished, sustained cup rather than from feeling burned out or overwhelmed.
The Guidance & tools provided within this deep journey home to yourself will equip you with wisdom that you can tangibly integrate into your relationships & your professional life.
It will deepen your relationship to Yourself in ways you haven’t experienced before.
This highly curated container will potentially amplify your work and offerings in the world, if you already work within the healing arts or as a coach or teacher of any kind.
By being skillfully guided and engaging in Embodied Ceremony, Movement Medicine, Womb Wisdom, Ritual, Somatic Movement, Shamanic Journey ,Menstrual Cycle awareness, Cacao Ceremony, Soul Retrieval , Sharing and Wisdom Circles ,Art & Journaling work and one to one personal healing.
You will remember ways that you can tap into your ancestral memory and know that you have the capacity to heal personal trauma as well as your ancestral line by healing your relationship to yourself first.
We will journey through initiatory passages looking into the hidden places within our grief ,shame, guilt, celebration, reclamation, Leadership, menstrual cycle awareness, embodiment and everything in between. To return from this journey feeling more whole and deeply transformed.
This Journey is birthed and offered at the time of a great shift & change in our humanity. This work provides a safe and solid space to navigate these times of change and uncertainty and to cultivate practices that support you to transform old self beliefs and patterns that no longer serve you , coming home to a deeper and more centred & connected ground with yourself.
Within the safety and beauty of a strong circle of women new life and ways are born.
We will explore many powerful practices that will enable you to connect to the elements , to harness your creative & cyclical nature enabling you to live a more empowered, authentic & deeply nourishing existence in harmony with yourself, one another and the wider web of life.
This offering is intended to provide you with an orientation into what Embodied Ceremony, Shamanic Journey , Movement Medicine , Menstrual Cycle Awareness & Living , Womb Awakening is & Earth based elemental Medicine is actually about.
To shed light and awareness on the emerging Archetype of the Medicine Woman and to explore her within ourselves looking into our creative role at this time in birthing a new Earth consciousness through our service and embodiment.
This workshop is a gateway into both contemporary shamanic practices and ancient Indigenous Earth Based practices as a healing modality that repairs the soul and our sense of belonging, our emotional physical , spiritual sense of wellbeing and our relations with our Ancestors and to the unbroken spirit that lives within us all.
This is also a holy Initiation into Ancient Womb Wisdom & into new ways of leadership, anchored in the heart and womb rather than the head.This is one of the ways we can bring a sense of connection and restoration to both our internal & external landscapes and to the body of our Earth by returning to the wisdom , potency and healing medicine within our cyclical nature , menstrual cycle our internal rhythm and instinct and our home coming to nature knowing with all of our heart that we are a force of nature.
This is the only offering of this kind here in the Channel Islands I feel deeply honoured & excited to share this revolutionary work with you in person.
THE JOURNEY
It is my belief we all come to this Earth with a purpose a unique gift to share , within our current society and upbringing this “gift” often goes un nurtured and unrecognised , this can leave a huge void within us we are left always searching for something never feeling satisfied , this journey is about getting in touch with our true calling and purpose here on this Earth.
This Journey will reconnect you to your core, to the call and longing of your heart ,.....helping you to remember who you are....and what it is you are here to give , what it is that truly matters to you.
This Journey is intended to provide you firstly with tools to heal yourself & your relationship with our Earth Mother and all we are connected to so you can know and feel you really belong.
As well as provide you with an understanding of the Ways in which Medicine Women and Earth keepers work, harness and commune in partnership with the Sacred. Elements-water, fire , Earth & Air the Elementals, Animal Spirit allies and the Unseen.
Combining embodied ceremony and dance ritual, we weave the threads of the medicine we are gathering into a beautiful tapestry of integration and sharing.
We journey deep into our inner worlds finding healing as we return to self. We learn how to connect with the eternal forest within and with different archetypal allies, we call to the inner shaman or shamanica deep within where we can draw from the vast well of this ancient wisdom.
At the Heart of this work is the prayer of the Eagle & Condor. An Ancient prophecy of a time of great healing where the Indigenous heart wisdom of the south will fly in the same sky in union with the mind of the north. Indigenous wisdom returning from the elders, a great wave of healing so we may all remember and seek to find our Indigenous soul. remembering our ceremonies and rituals of community, spirit and connection and together recreating them and weaving them into our world today.
Workshops/ Ceremonies will take place on a monthly basis along with monthly tasks, resources and a cycle of 5 online Medicine lodge circles.
This offering is in no way a full apprenticeship and does not qualify you to perform any type of healing on others or to work with Movement Medicine Ceremony or the work shared with you this is not a training to teach the work.
It is offered for you to firstly undertake your own journey with this work & to deepen your understanding & Connection to yourself and your unique blueprint and purpose and to come home to a real sense of recognition that you are an elemental being, widening your sense of ground and belonging.
Yet this will of course empower your offerings and work out in the world.
WHO IS IT FOR ?
Any woman who is ready for a transformational shift in their life and who is willing to choose to stand more fully in her true self and calling.
This offering is only open to those who are deeply committed to their path of awakening and the full cycle of this workshop.
Any woman who feels drawn to “the pull of this Journey”. who wishes to explore and put into practice these revolutionary practices & tools.
Women who are Interested in personal or spiritual development

Women who are yearning for a deeper understanding and embodiment of the Feminine
Mothers , daughters , menstruating women , menopausal women & every woman in between.
We aim to weave a supportive and safe community of sisterhood within which you can explore deeply the inner forces of your body.
The initial awakening to this work can sometimes be challenging and catalytic. It is therefore important that you have some personal development skills and sense of personal ground. And the commitment to put in place further resources in place if you should need it.
This is transformational work and you need to enter this with the knowledge that you will undergo a shift & change is a given.
Now more than ever we need to call on the medicine of practice to help us navigate the unknown and find nourishment, resource, courage , joy and re connection to the unbroken that lives within us.

TESTIMONIALS -
‘ This is the deepest and most transformative work I’ve ever done with Bonnie - journeying in the most loving and supportive energy. Her shamanic guidance gifted me heart opening shifts and insights in connection to my cycle and creative power. The flow of creativity that followed this retreat was so strong and so fated. I did this work with Bonnie at a time of deep maternal grief, and it re-empowered my connection to my heart and to my feminine. In re-accessing my full feminine, I became whole again. I’d repeat this retreat in a heartbeat to journey deeper into the layers. Thank you so much for your powerful work, Bonnie.'

Wow. What a beautiful, rare and wonderful gift it was to experience this work & Ceremony with Bonnie. The medicine of the movement is powerful beyond measure yet also gentle and playful. She holds such exquisite, loving space, creating a sacred container for all that arises,within ourselves and within the community of dancers. From the strong magic of the Amazonian plant teachers to the high high clarity of the Andean Mountain spirits, the energies Bonnie brings through are nothing short of miraculous in their transformational power. What a joy it was to witness the striking transformation in all of us. The light that this medicine unlocks & the homecoming it offers was visible in all of us, each and all- more aliveness, more healing, more of each of our unique soul signatures, embodied. And dancing! I mean what a beautiful way to bring in the new cycle; with powerful rituals in community, and in the space so lovingly and skillfully held. I’m so very grateful for the chance to participate in this work & Journey home.

“With each week, I relaxed into the dance more and felt a deeper connection with the elements that I’m part of. I became more aware of my inner world and my power grew with each stretching up to the tree of life and breathing in the energy of Mother Earth. I feel more inclined to believe that my true nature is what will get me through the next few difficult years as societies crumble.
Bonnie is an amazingly warm and beautiful soul! She makes you feel at ease and part of the group from day one. She has the wisdom and energy of someone much older. I felt comfortable in the knowledge that she holds a protective and caring space in which to dance and express myself fully. She ensures you feel connected with others through her teachings, .
The journey to an awareness of our own heart and true nature is a difficult one unless your guide is fully committed to showing you the way. Bonnie is just that; an amazingly shining beacon of light, fully committed to shining her light for us.
I have so much more time and care for our elements around us now and embrace every opportunity to dance and connect in them.
The chance to see and dance with other like minded souls was such a gift too at, what can be, a very isolating time in our lives.
Although there is much to do to put things right in our crazy world, I feel more optimistic and hopeful that we will get there, as my power and connection to my heart is all the stronger for learning from Bonnie.”
Ingrid Finch -North Cyprus
"Every so often you come across a body of work that really speaks to you, this happened when I experienced Movement Medicine with Bonnie. It had such depth and combined Shamanism, Journey work and Dance which are all of my favourite things ! The depth of the work really spoke to me. I love deep work and I would really recommend this work to anyone who wishes to explore more of their inner world. Bonnie has this amazing presence , she is so dedicated to her work. I have many years of experience as a teacher and every now and then you come across an amazing teacher who you can learn a lot from, Bonnie is one of those, I can recommend this work with all of my heart, give yourself this gift and see what happens."

“Movement Medicine with Bonnie this past year has changed my life”
-Irene Ischia -Jersey
"Bonnie's presence is so refreshingly and beautifully real. I have found these Movement Medicine gatherings to be Sacred Cathartic and truly Profound. She creates a container of permission to deeply sense, explore, connect with the body and the elements."
