Winter’s Womb: Return to Your Origins w Sound, Writing, Hypnosis
Location not specified yet(please note - RSVP's through sign up/registration ONLY)
Winter’s Womb: Return to Your Origins was created specifically for this moment.
This event is a guided ceremonial immersion for releasing old patterns at their root—through the body, the subconscious, and deep listening.
This is a space for completion, clarity, and a clean transition into what comes next. As we approach the close of this Lunar year, we cross a powerful threshold—the final shedding of the Wood Snake.
This is not only symbolic; it is somatic and psychological. The Wood Snake invites us to release what has already loosened its grip but has not yet fully fallen away.
For many, this year has brought old patterns into focus: habits that drain energy, identities that no longer fit, roles or relationships that require self-betrayal, and inner narratives that quietly limit what feels possible.
Winter’s Womb supports real change by working where change actually happens—not through willpower alone, but through the nervous system, the subconscious, and the body’s deep memory.
We’ll work with:
- Automatic Writing to unearth what’s ready to be seen
- Guided Hypnosis Womb Journey to explore the true root of your origins
- Sound Ceremony to release and integrate
This day supports:
• Releasing patterns at the root
Guided hypnosis to illuminate your womb revelations---where you came from and through this insight align with your souls journey.
• Clearing the body’s holding patterns
Sound instruments assist in unwinding/unbinding stored tension and emotional residue.
• Complete unfinished inner business
This deep dive creates space to consciously complete what has been lingering—grief, anger, confusion, or unspoken truth, freeing yourself from unwanted density (hucha) into daily life.
• Reclaiming inner authority
As the old skin fall away, clarity returns; experience renewed self-trust, cleaner boundaries, and a sense of inner knowing.
• Prepare fertile ground for the new Lunar year
Aligned with winter’s natural intelligence—rest, incubation, and deep listening—what comes next emerges with greater ease and integrity.
This work supports more than insight, it offers structural shifts in how you relate to yourself, your energy, and your life.
Winter’s Womb offers pathways to inner freedom in a safe, spacious, and deeply guided container -- join us!!
