Stories of the Womb: Recent Episodes
Emily Hall
Storytelling is an ancient form of passing on wisdom that is seen all over the world. However it’s magic is most prevalent in circles of women.
It’s how we pass on knowledge of blood wisdom, childbirth, motherhood, menopause, and nature as beings that hold the power of the feminine. Sharing our stories from crones, to mothers, to maidens is how we keep the knowledge of our sacred gifts alive.
Here are the stories of the women I’ve been blessed to cross paths with. May you find the wisdom intended for you within them🌹

How do stories and the wisdom of cycles help us to realise our qualities, patterns and tendancies, as well as our connection to the earth? As a yoga teacher and festival organiser, Alice shares how inspiring archetypes and ritual can be used for self-understanding and healing.
