New for 2026: A 6-Month Journey Around the Life Spiral
With Rachael Crow | Wise Women Mystery School
What makes an Initiated elder? Being in touch with oneself, carrying all these stages of life within, maturity, agency, strong ethics, community, love for the Earth and humanity.
In life we journey through the fire of initiation- often unconscious to it as our lived experience, our trials, are the initiations- the hard times- through suffering we are given an opportunity to step up and out of victimhood.
Most of us are initiated through accidents, illness, death of loved ones…. these things that stop us in our tracks.
Life initiates us ….instead of us being initiated by the elders of our community.
Know thy self
We will have a continuous processing of the stages of womanhood starting with our birth story diving deeply into the first half of the spiral…. remembering…and then visioning into the second half…who do we want to be, how will be support our community and humanity?
“Only through healing and reconnection—to ourselves, to one another, and to Mother Earth—can we truly live our heart’s calling and hold future generations in strength.”
Join me in 2026 for a deeply transformative 6-month, in-person journey through the Nine Passages of Womanhood. Together, we will gather monthly around powerful thresholds to explore the sacred spiral of life, weaving ceremony, storytelling, drumming, crafting, ancestral connection, and deep feminine wisdom.
This is a journey of healing, prayer, truth-telling, and reclamation—a remembering of who we are beneath the layers.
Each gathering is held in a sacred circle of women, where we:
Heal and reweave our life stories
Reclaim lost parts of ourselves through ritual and ceremony
Celebrate the thresholds we were never honoured for
Connect with our ancestors and future generations
Deepen into the Women’s Mysteries through embodiment, meditation, journaling, singing, crafting, nature, and soul work
Dates & Themes: Each month, we honour a key threshold in the Life Spiral—offering ceremony, insight, and tools to carry you forward. Dates- (all Fridays) Jan 23rd, Feb 20th, March 20th, April 17th, May 15th, June 12th. Apply HERE

For Women Called to Teach the Thresholds
For those who feel called not only to walk the spiral but also to share these teachings with others, there will be an additional pathway of support.
Alongside the 6-month journey, I am opening a WhatsApp container with myself and Gail Burkett for women who wish to step into the role of guide and teacher of the Nine Thresholds.
This circle will offer continued reflection, mentoring, and resources to help you carry these rites forward in your own community.
Additional Contribution: £10 per month
I trained in the Life Spiral 9 Passages with author Gail Burkett (see her books here), journeying twice with groups under Gail’s Guidance. As well as this I bring over 30 years of experience walking the sacred path of Women’s Wisdom. My work weaves together rites of passage, womb and earth connection, trauma healing, Red Tent and Moon Lodge practices, menstrual recapitulation, counselling, addiction recovery, breath and meditation practices, yoga, and shamanic traditions.
This journey is for ALL women—mothers, elders, space-holders, and women walking through transition. Especially supportive for those guiding youth, healing from trauma, or stepping into leadership.
These six months will reconnect you with your authentic, cyclical self, and the ancient wisdom of the Grandmothers. You’ll remember the medicine you came here to carry—and the path to walk it with strength, compassion, and clarity.
