Somewhere in your Lineage there were Women who healed with plants and sang under the moon, who danced into ecstasy and prayed to the waters...
Ministry of The Matriarch
A year long reweaving of your red thread, reconnection to your inner wisdom & remembrance of your soul purpose
A slow spiral of reconnection to the rituals & traditions that are yours ~ not borrowed
A home coming
A remembering
A journey that will change everything, facilitated by someone who has authentically walked this path many times
This is the work of lifetimes ....
I was one of those people who used to cringe when someone spoke about ‘their guides’ or ancestors … I’ll be honest, I thought it was gaslighting bullshit
Until it wasn’t …
I am Romany Gypsy and my lineage is rich with ritual and tradition, but I didn’t feel safe enough to connect to it (hello witch wound and ancestral shame )
I didn’t want people to label me or assume things about me
I was numb to who I really was, to why I’m here, now.
I’ve spent years (not to mention a fortune!) reading, researching, meditating and creating safety in my body through somatic practices and trauma healing and now I’m sharing my journey and practices with a small group of women in The Ministry of the Matriarch so that they can do the same
This isn’t a quick fix workshop, it’s a year long deep exploration of your unique lineage, a reconnection to the wisdom that lies beyond the fear, a reweaving of your own red thread
This journey won’t be for everyone - but if you’re feeling called then my advice is TRUST
This could be the start of a whole new chapter in your story …
If you have a deep scar, that is a door, if you have an old, old story, that is a door.
If you love the sky and the water so much that you almost cannot bear it, that is a door.
If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.
Clarissa Pinkola Estés "Women who Run with the Wolves,"
Imagine a Woman
Imagine a woman who honours her experience and tells her stories. Who refuses to carry the burdens of others within her body and life.
Imagine a woman who trusts and respects herself.
A woman who listens to her needs and desires.
Who meets them with tenderness and grace.
Imagine a woman who has acknowledged the past's influence on the present. A woman who has walked through her past.
Who has healed into the present.
Imagine a woman who authors her own life. A woman who exerts, initiates, and moves on her own behalf. Who refuses to surrender except to her truest self and wisest voice.
Imagine a woman who names her own gods. A woman who imagines the divine in her image and likeness.
Who designs a personal spirituality to inform her daily life.
Imagine a woman in love with her own body. A woman who believes her body is enough, just as it is. Who celebrates her body's rhythms and cycles as an exquisite resource.
Imagine a woman who honours the body of the Goddess in her changing body. A woman who celebrates the accumulation of her years and her wisdom. Who refuses to use her precious life energy disguising the changes in her body and life.
Imagine a woman who values the women in her life.
A woman who sits in circles of women.
Who is reminded of the truth about herself when she forgets.
Imagine yourself as this woman.

How does the Program Work?
Ministry of the Matriarch runs alongside the seasons for an entire year - this is a slow, spiral that you will have lifetime access to. Each season is aligned with an element. We begin in the watery womb of Winter on Samhain (Oct 31st)
Each month new content is released into the spiral - from wellbeing practices to private podcasts, workbooks, journals and seminars, each offering gently building on the next. We also have surprise guests bringing the most beautiful gifts into our community throughout the year. Everything is recorded and will be accessible via a login link on this website for you to revisit at any time - forever!
There is also a community space called 'The Hearth' where you are invited to connect with other women on this journey, to share, to witness, to be seen. This is designed to feel like you're sitting around the hearth fire together, in solidarity. I'll also share seasoal alter ideas and a weekly Tarot reading (using the technique taught in my lineage) as well as a suggested book to discuss for the season ahead.
You are offered a private one to one 60 minute call with Clare every season where you get to reflect on your journey so far and share anything thats coming up for you. These calls are bespoke to you - sometimes you might want to simply to heard, other times you may need to be held - there is no right or wrong. Your needs are always met with compassion, kindness, an open heart and zero judgement - ever.
You also receive 30% off any therapies you might book with me - from closing the bones to menopause massage or healing herbal remedies.
This journey has been carefully curated to incorporate movement, mindfulness, meditation, holotropic breathwork and nature therapy alongside folklore, story weaving and ancient practices.
