ECSTATIC DANCE 🔥 A free style form of movement to music. An invitation, opportunity and enquiry to bring the mind into the body. Trusting the flow of your impulse - trusting to be your self - in relationship with sound, space, and community. Your guide Melanie will offer gentle invitations to notice, to process, to embody, to let go.

SACRED CIRCLE ⭕️ What is it? A space in time where we leave all else, come together in intention to listen and share from the heart. Creating deep resonances and the potential for deep healing, repairing the wounds of a dominator culture, remembering how to belong ourselves in Sisterhood - our birth rite.

SPACE HOLDER 🌹 Melanie Blacksmith of Grounded Pathways. Bringing forth Devotion, Ritual and Ancestral remembering through gatherings, 1:1 sessions inperson and in the Forest, movement as medicine and rewilding nature events, seeking to support cultural healing and repair.

Alcohol and drug free event
Talk free dance floor
No Shazam please, Playlist shared post dance
No prior experience required

Please be aware music will be loud in regards to young children, parents and carers must be responsible for young ones in the space, around the altar space and to honour speakers during sacred sharing circle.

♦️ Darlings…
My sincerest apologies, our MIDSUMMER EVE Dance and Circle won’t be able to go ahead tonight.

I have absolutely loved and adored ♦️WOMEN’S TEMPLE♦️ through the window of 2024, such a tremendous gift, honour, privilege and profound treasure, pleasure, to witness the journey of TRANSFORMATION with WOMEN, sisters weaving in and out, mini-spirals and seasonal sabbaths, being REMEMBERED and CELEBRATED through conscious intention followed by ritual in action.

🌏 EMBODIMENT.

✨ Wedding spirit, Ancestral Wisdom, through our vessels. Wow 🤩
Such a special, special and sacred gift.

🌹 In 2025 let us continue to come together in ritual celebration and devotion to The Goddess, Her, and meeting-to-be-met…
Opening yourself to Her in You.

❤️

If you wish to join the mailing list for 2025 events and beyond, both in Lilydale and Healesville/BadgerCreek, please do email Melanie …

✨ Wishing you joy and wonder, and - warm invitation to leave a sparkly gift for the fairies tonight, they are surely about, watching, guiding, inspiring, protecting.

Blessings dear hearts,

Melanie
