Women's Outdoor AYAH; Supporting Women's Rites of Passage

This very special ceremony will be part of the concluding celebration of the Women’s Rite of Passage Program.

You Are Called to Bear Witness

Dear Sisters, Mothers, Elders, and Friends,

We welcome you from the threshold of something sacred, after four days and four nights of fasting, prayer, and surrendering all that was familiar in order to meet themselves more fully, we invite you to join us in this final closing ceremony to bear sacred witness to our sisters.

In the ancient way of rites of passage, the journey is not complete until the community gathers to receive those who have crossed over. Your presence is not ceremonial — it is essential. When you look into their eyes and say I see you. I witness you. You belong here — you complete the circle. You are the village that makes the transformation real.

Come ready to listen, to honor, and to celebrate. Come with an open heart and, if you wish, a small token of blessing — a flower, a stone, a written word — to offer in welcome.

Our Grandmother ceremony will conclude with a Homecoming Brunch on Sunday where the men and women come together to feast and celebrate! Stay the day for community connection with song circles, sauna, and cold plunges

This ceremony is open to women  who have sat with the Grandmother/Ayah medicine at least once before.

Please join us for this very special celebration!
