Reclaiming Moontime

For those of us who journey through this life in a female body, we cross our thresholds of initiation through our body. The onset of our menses, the cessation of menses, and giving birth as our 3 main biological passages*.

The start of one’s moontime (onset of menses) is our first rite after being born.

How were YOU held and honored for this rite?

In a healthy culture, we would be celebrated at this time by our community ~ for coming into the stage of life that can carry and continue life! Most of us do not have the priveledge of being held in a community or inside of an intact culture; yet the longing is still there. Our deeper self knows that we deserve this beautiful rite.

Here, within Tree of Life, we aim to reclaim a healthy cultural experience by noticing the pains of what has gotten missed and then doing something about it!

Through deep and direct Spiritual guidance, Rachel Ruach has brought through a beautiful, powerful, and meaningful First Moon Time Honoring Ceremony. This ceremony comes through Rachel’s Blood Lineage and Current time Spirit Connection. The ceremony is held in a 3 day container and involves an overnight solo, a collectively held sacred fire, the initiate “Dancing Her Star”, and feeding her ancestors and supporters in a Celebratory Feast.

This ceremony can be both enacted for women who want to retro-actively claim this rite for themselves AND for girls who are headed through this precious threshold.

* Not all of us who journey in a female body participate in these biological realities. Those who do not experience this have ways of passing through the portals of initiation that are just as valid and just as important. Spirit holds hands through the rites of life in powerful and unique ways as defined by each person’s unique path.
