Welcome to Ceremony of Woman
Dear wonderful woman, welcome.
You have arrived into circle, and I see your loving action in choosing this path.
May the Ceremony Of Woman ignite the fire within, to remember what it truly feels like to be a woman.
There is an invitation to get curious, and take some questions to your journal to explore…
What your relationship is with showing up for yourself and what energy will you bring to this circle?
What is your current relationship with your sacred body and the natural world?
What visions and deep desires are calling you forward?
How connected are you feeling with women in your community?
As we explore these truths and desires together, we begin sowing the seeds. Seeds of transformation and remembrance.
To remember that you belong here: to this earth, to yourself, and to the circle of women gathering beside you.

During Circle, there is no pressure to share, just arrive as you are, in alignment with your needs.

Prepare your ceremonial cacao and have it in your favourite mug ready to go.
Create a sacred space, including an alter if that feels nourishing and supportive for you.
For deeper guidance on creating sacred space and preparing for ceremony, I encourage you to watch Ceremony of the Heart below.

All that I am is welcome to be. All that I hear is welcome to be. All that I feel is welcome to be. Just as it is.

Each month, I will curate a playlist to accompany our journey together.
These songs are chosen to support the energy of our cacao ceremony, creating a gentle soundscape to soften into.
I encourage you to have the playlist open ahead of time so it is ready to go.
A Few Simple Tips
Set your Spotify crossfade to 12 seconds.
Have a phone, speaker, or device nearby to play the music from during our gathering.
Adjust the volume so it supports your experience without becoming distracting.
Feel free to continue listening to the playlist throughout the month as a way of returning to the energy of our circle.

Ceremony Of The Heart
A 45-minute teaching from Ila speaking on Earth Medicine Circle with Tamsin, from Wildfolk.
Before we gather together, I invite you to relish in with this beautiful offering of the heart.
A gentle exploration of ceremony as a pathway back home to yourself.
Through this teaching, you will be guided to create sacred space within your everyday life, deepening your relationship with plant medicine, devotion, and the natural exploration of your being.
As you listen, reflect on these:
What does ceremony mean to you?
Where are you being called to create more intention in your life?
What could ceremony look like in your daily life?
May this offering support you in romanticising your miracle life, honouring the ancient wisdom of your body and the natural living world.

Your Guide, Ila.
Gathering women genuinely brings me so much joy, and peace.
The magic of women remembering how collective our experiences are, and how similar our worlds are, is pure medicine.
Returning to this sisterhood, this known love.
It is an honour I get to call this work, and to me it’s a needed service.
To unite women with their deepest truth, wisdom and community.
The Ceremony of Woman is a offering to the feminine, a love letter.
To have something to always look forward to, to relish in being held.
I know it might feel edgy at first, but just come as you ~ that’s perfect.
I know this space with water you, nourish you, and feed you deeply.

If you have any questions regarding your membership, payments, access to the portal, or anything else related to Ceremony of Woman, please email:

I will respond within 48 hours.
What happens if I can't make a gathering?
That's completely okay. While your presence in the live circle is deeply valued, life happens.
The ceremony and guided journaling is recorded, while the sharing circle is intentionally left unrecorded to honour a safe and sacred space for authentic expression.
If you're unable to join live, you'll still receive access to the recorded ceremony.
Is there any pressure to share during the gatherings?
No my love.
There is no expectation to share.
Your presence alone is enough.
Do I need ceremonial cacao?
Yes.
Cacao is our plant medicine ally for Ceremony of Woman.
It works deeply on our neuroplasticity, while nourishing our bodies with minerals, antioxidants, and calling forth ancient wisdom from within.
You can order directly, from earthwomen.nz using the discount code inside the portal.
If you need support with obtaining cacao before our first gathering, get in touch.
