Rose & Roots – Ancient Feminine Wisdom

Rose Roots Feminine Embodiment Circle 1

Embodying Women’s Cyclical Wisdom with Rose Medicine: A Journey to the Heart of the Feminine

As women, we carry within us the innate rhythms of the Earth, the cycles of the Moon, and the sacred wisdom of our feminine essence. These cycles—whether the phases of the Moon, the changing seasons, or the pulsations of our womb—are not only guides to understanding our body but are also spiritual maps leading us to deeper self-awareness. Rose Medicine, an ancient ally, will guide you into the depths of your cyclical nature, reawakening the ancient wisdom that weaves our bodies to the moon, the earth, and the divine feminine archetypes.

We are cyclical beings. Our cycles—whether we attune with our menstrual, lunar, or the natural cycles of our lives—are a dance of expansion and contraction. They are echoed in the rise and fall of the moon, in the breath of our bodies, and in the beating of our hearts. As we reconnect to these rhythms, we reclaim the wisdom that has been passed down through generations of women.

At the heart of Rose Medicine, she connects us to our own softness, strength, and beauty. Just as the rose blooms and withers, so too do we move through phases of renewal, fullness, release, and rest. The thorns of the rose remind us to hold firm to our boundaries while its petals encourage us to open our hearts.

The Four Archetypes: Maiden, Mother, Wild Woman, and Wise Woman

In this sacred work, we honor the four primary feminine archetypes that cycle through us: Maiden, Mother, Wild Woman (or Maga), and Wise Woman (Crone). These archetypes are present not only in the lunar cycle but also in our menstrual cycle, the seasons of the year, and the stages of our lives.

  • Maiden (Spring): She is the energy of renewal and new beginnings, associated with the Waxing Moon and the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle. This is the time of setting intentions, planting seeds, and tapping into the energy of rebirth.
  • Mother (Summer): The Mother is full, nurturing, and abundant, corresponding to the Full Moon and ovulation. This phase encourages us to step into our creativity and power, to birth projects, relationships, or visions into the world.
  • Wild Woman/Maga (Autumn): In the waning moon, we connect with the Wild Woman. She teaches us to let go, to release what no longer serves, and to descend into the depths of our own transformation. This phase is about harvesting and composting.
  • Wise Woman/Crone (Winter): The Crone represents the deep winter of our cycle, a time for reflection, rest, and renewal. This phase calls us to listen to our inner wisdom and to release with grace during the New Moon and menstruation phase.

Understanding these archetypes allows us to honour our cyclical nature, to recognise the gifts of each phase, and to listen to the subtle shifts that occur within us. This is the heart of cyclical wisdom: we are in constant dynamic flow, awareness allows us to harness the wisdom of each phase for us to thrive in flowing abundant wellbeing, feeling nourished to the roots of our being.

Rose Medicine: An Ally for the Feminine

Rose Medicine. Rose has long been revered for its ability to open the heart, soothe the spirit, and provide healing on emotional, physical, and energetic levels. In this class, we work with Rose in multiple ways—through tea, yoni steams, essential oils, and ritual oils.

Rose supports us in many ways:

  • Emotional Healing: Rose helps us release heartache, grief, and the emotional wounds we carry. Her essence opens our hearts to deeper compassion and love, both for ourselves and others.
  • Womb Healing: Rose is a potent ally for clearing energy from the womb, helping us release trauma or heavy emotions stored in this sacred space.
  • Boundaries and Self-Love: The thorns of Rose remind us of the importance of boundaries, teaching us to balance strength and softness.

Rose Medicine weaves the wisdom in each phase of our cycle, allowing us to unlock the gifts of the archetypal expression of the divine feminine energy that resides within.

Honouring the Menstrual Cycle

One of the core practices we engage in during this journey is reclaiming our relationship with the menstrual cycle. For too long, society has encouraged us to see menstruation as an inconvenience or burden. In this class, we shift that perspective and learn to honor our moon-time as a sacred phase of release and renewal.

By charting our menstrual or lunar cycle, we can begin to recognize the gifts of each phase. The time of menstruation is not simply a time of bleeding; it is a time for deep reflection, a shamanic death, and a powerful opportunity to let go of what no longer serves us. Through practices like womb meditation, dark moon rituals, and conscious menstruation, we reconnect to the wisdom of our bodies.

Menopause: Stepping Into Your Power

For those who no longer bleed, we honor the sacred transition of menopause. This is a time when women step fully into their power, embodying the Wise Woman who carries deep wisdom and experience. Menopause is not the end of our cycles, but rather a gateway to living our truth more fully. In ancient cultures, women who had crossed into this phase were revered as elders and oracles, and in this class, we reclaim that respect.

By tuning into the phases of the moon and our inner cycles, we learn to honor the deep transformation that menopause brings. Whether through moon rituals or rose ceremonies, this sacred time is honored as an opportunity to step into our power as Wise Women.

Conclusion: Reclaiming Your Cyclical Wisdom

As we walk this path of cyclical wisdom, we reclaim not only our connection to the moon and our cycles but also our connection to the ancient wisdom of the feminine. By working with Rose as our ally, we open ourselves to deeper healing, greater compassion, and a more profound relationship with our own body and soul.

This journey is about tuning into the subtle rhythms of our being, learning to listen deeply to the whispers of our body, and honoring each phase for the gifts it brings. Whether you are at the beginning of your cycle, entering the power of your menopause years, or anywhere in between, this class invites you to embrace your cyclical nature with grace and reverence.

The journey is always available to you, Sister. Your cyclical wisdom is a gift that calls you back home to yourself.
