Session 4: The Waning Moon
Yoni Steam Ceremony
June 14th: 1pm-4pm (Wallkill, NY)
The final gathering of the Body as Moon series centers on the luteal phase and the waning energies of the cycle—the time of descent and discernment. This is a phase often misunderstood or erased, framed as loss rather than transformation. Here, we approach it as a threshold, a turning toward wisdom and clarity.
After the outward reach of ovulation, energy begins to withdraw from the external world and return toward the inner landscape. Discernment sharpens, sensitivity increases, and attention is drawn to what is no longer aligned. This phase invites refinement and release, supporting the shedding of what no longer serves and the strengthening of boundaries guided by inner knowing rather than external expectation.
As part of this gathering, we are honored to welcome Kris Geerken to join us in conversation around menopause, aging, and ageism. Together, we will explore what it means to enter elderhood in a culture that fears it, and how reclaiming this phase restores dignity, power, and voice to the aging body.
Our primary practice during this session will be a group yoni steam experience held outdoors in the garden. Each woman will have the opportunity to engage in her own whole body, pelvic steam session.
Steaming is an ancestral practice used across cultures as a way of tending the pelvic space, encouraging warmth, circulation, and connection to the womb and pelvic center.
Participants will blend and take home their own yoni steam herbs, along with guidance for continuing the practice independently. Those who wish will also receive a discount toward purchasing their own yoni steam stool, offering a way to carry this practice forward beyond the series.
