“I want you to journey deep into the heart of your female body, to your root place and to the root of all womanhood. Discover this landscape of the wild feminine. Find the connection between creative energy flow and the core of your body to reclaim the radiance that is rightfully yours.”
Tami Lynn Kent
The female pelvis is the seat of all life; the epicenter of the feminine experience and a storehouse of powerful emotions, behaviours and drives that underpin our physical, emotional and sexual well-being. It is also so often mysterious, misunderstood and, through ignorance and fear, dishonored.
This new holistic pelvic health course takes an interdisciplinary deep-dive into the multidimensional life of the female pelvis. Taking many perspectives; from literary and cultural to structural and functional and involving different disciplines from meditation to movement and journalling to discussion we will explore the female pelvis in all its manifestations from energetic to emotional and structural to sexual. Along the way we will practice ways in which to embody, to heal, to discover and to awaken our pelvic energy and our relationship with this most sacred and beautiful aspect of our individual and collective selves.
Whether it’s the healing of shame, the invitation of pleasure, a reconnection with creativity and fecundity, or simply the intention to inhabit and embody the pelvis with greater awareness and self-love; this course is for you.
You might be pregnant and processing an impending birth, postnatal and recovering from pelvic trauma; perimenopausal and negotiating a new relationship with your sexuality or simply wanting to explore and nurture your pelvic terrain; you might be any age from twenty-something to sixty-something; you might have a healthy relationship with your pelvis or one that you know needs healing. If this course calls you, then it is right for you.
From exploring your own pelvic health history and embodied boundaries to leaning how to activating pelvic energy and channel your creative energy, over the 8 weeks you will deeply connect with your pelvis in all its expressions; emotional to structural, sensual to spiritual.
This course is the culmination, and continuing work-in-progress, of my own pre-and-post maternal, personal, sexual, perinatal and healing journey of learning which encompasses yoga, and perinatal yoga, childbirth education, pelvic healing, physiotherapy, psychotherapy, sexual therapy and bodywork of the last ten years all of which has collectively contributed in some way to this course. It also draws on the teachings and writings of a range of commentators on the female pelvis, womens’ health and feminine energetics from Natalie Angier, Tami Lynn Kent and Naomi Wolf, to Leslie Howard, Liz Koch and Jane Dancey whose brilliant work on the pelvis also informs this course.
