space of healing & sharing for Women

Women's Lodge is a place for women to return to the womb of the Earth Mother together, In this Lodge, we give special attention to expression, emotional cleansing & connecting to the Feminine Divine. The prayers & Songs are focused on this.

As women we come to understand the cycle of creation, because our bodies follow the rhythm of the moon. Our Women's lodge is an invitation for all women of any age, culture or religion. It also does not matter what stage of your moon cycle you are at. It is a place to share what is means to us to be feminine, to be women & to explore even further into this space.

The Women's sweat lodge offers the possibility of spiritual rebirth and reconnection, with ourselves...with other women...with the Feminine Divine.

This is an invitation for all women of any age, culture or religion. As women we understand and love the Great Mother.

We come together in the womb of the Earth Mother, to where the darkness & the mist completely envelopes us, where time & place do not exist. We sit together & we learn....how to listen to each other....to speak & share from our hearts, we sing & come closer to that which is the Feminine face of God.  We understand the cycle of creation, because our bodies repeat the rhythm of the moon.

The songs we share in the Women’s lodge are Songs of worship honouring the Divine Feminine and showing appreciation for creation, the songs help clear away obstructions in the body & mind. Song assist us in finding a place of well being.

About Leeane Chalice (a note from Ni):

"It is time for men to stand firm beside their women and allow the women to do the work that they and only they can do, To allow the women their space to work with the Grandmothers. Especially in ceremony. It is not always the place of the man to lead and in this time it is becoming more necessary for men to step back and allow the women to take the lead. For this reason I love to support the Women's work, by being the warrior as in our tradition and protecting the circle but standing back in a place of trust and truth. In our relationship we walk side by side but we are

still individuals and have our own hearts. So we support and stand by each other even when we are apart and doing our individual work.  Leeane is a pipe carrier and practices the path of the Heart. She helps women rediscover their passion and holds regular gatherings and healing. She willingly shares her knowledge, learned from our work with the communities in Brasil with intimate women's circles and gatherings. Leeane also pours the Sweat Lodge in the red path and African ways. Part of my work is to stand by "Leeane the warrior's", side, as her "warrior". The respect for the feminine is becoming more and more important in todays world and I have much respect for the work that Leeane is doing with the Women's circles in South Africa and abroad. I highly recommend any women who are searching for this kind of circles to participate.” Niyan.
