THE UNIQUE POWER OF THIS WORK
There is a unique transformation & magic that you will experience within the work of Medicine Woman Movement. It combines highly curated Shamanic journey work - Dance ritual - Cacao ceremony - Womb wisdom - Ancient practices & offerings to Spirit.
This work activates a deep & profound collective connection to the Sacred through embodied prayer within the ceremonies. This work can help us heal & remember who we really are & the majesty of this life.
Dance & Embodiment are one of the most powerful transformative medicines, we shed old skins through movement & ritual, accessing the deepest parts of our beings, breaking open energetic blockages & healing emotional wounds. The rivers of life can flow through us once again.
Shamanic journey, embodied ceremony & ritual opens the veil between worlds, guiding us deep into our inner landscapes to recover lost parts of self, to meet guides, ancestors, & the voice of the Earth herself, reconnecting women to the wisdom of body, womb & heart to hear once again the deep dreaming & longing within us as women to live & offer our gifts to this life. restoring reverence for the sacred intelligence & wisdom held within our bodies
CACAO CEREMONY
Cacao is a Sacred & beautiful plant medicine that helps us to open our heart & come back into connection with our inner wisdom, it helps us to balance the feminine & masculine energies within us & has been used in ceremony since ancient times.
An Indigenous myth tells us, "whenever the balance between humans and nature becomes threatened, the spirit of cacao will come from the rainforest to open people's hearts & return us all to harmony with the Earth & creation once again".
The way I work with this beautiful heart nourishing plant medicine is that I weave the cacao ritual into a deep embodied guided dance ceremony where we journey within the realms of ritual & embodied prayer, connecting with the elemental forces of creation & working with ancient practices.
I see the spirit & medicine of Cacao as a way to connect with the flowering earth both within us & in the world around us. Within our hearts it awakens the inner flowering earth of remembering the beauty way, reminding us how to walk in beauty, helping us to heal our hearts.

TESTIMONIALS
“Bonnie holds such an exquisite energy & space. It's hard to put into words, the ceremonies are just so transformational. This work has allowed me to really trust myself again. It has allowed me to really travel the depths, the depths of myself , to the depths of my grief, to really then come out the other side, to trust in the eb & flows of life. It's been a remembering of myself , my soul , my essence & it has reconnected me to earth, to land, to my ancestors, to the spirit world. The sisterhood we have all formed through this journey is so strong, I thank Bonnie so much for this work as it really is such a Gift.”
Suzie Woods - UK
“Wow. What a beautiful, rare & wonderful gift it was to experience this work & Ceremony with Bonnie. The medicine of the embodied Ritual is powerful beyond measure yet also gentle & playful.
She holds such exquisite, loving space, creating a sacred container for all that arises,within ourselves and within the community of dancers. From the strong magic of the Amazonian plant teachers to the high high clarity of the Andean Mountain spirits, the energies Bonnie brings through are nothing short of miraculous in their transformational power. What a joy it was to witness the striking transformation in all of us. The light that this medicine unlocks & the homecoming it offers was visible in all of us, each and all- more aliveness, more healing, more of each of our unique soul signatures, embodied. And dancing! I mean what a beautiful way to bring in the new cycle; with powerful rituals in community, and in the space so lovingly and skillfully held. I’m so very grateful for the chance to participate in this work & Journey home.”
Erin Osborn US
