It offers a compass & an anchor to your wild & beautiful creative nature, along with welcoming & witnessing the darkness & shadow lands that are part of this voyage home to our true power & sense of belonging.

We will journey through initiatory passages looking into the hidden places within our grief, shame, guilt, celebration, reclamation, Leadership, menstrual cycle awareness, embodiment & everything in between. To return from this journey feeling more whole & deeply transformed.
This Journey is birthed & offered at the time of a great shift & change in our humanity.

‘Incredibly transformational. I believe that your offering allowed me to process what I needed to process in the strong cradle of your holding” Maz Heaney .
We will explore many powerful practices that will enable you to connect to the elements, to harness your creative & cyclical nature enabling you to live a more empowered, authentic & deeply nourishing existence in harmony with yourself, one another & the wider web of life.
This offering is intended to provide you with an orientation into what Embodied Ceremony, Shamanic Journey, the power of Movement as embodied prayer,Menstrual Cycle Awareness & Living , Womb Awakening & Earth based elemental Medicine is actually about.
To shed light & awareness on the emerging Archetype of the Medicine Woman & to explore her within ourselves looking into our creative role at this time in birthing a new Earth consciousness through our service & embodiment.
This workshop is a gateway into both contemporary shamanic practices & ancient Indigenous Earth Based practices as a healing modality that repairs the soul & our sense of belonging, our emotional physical , spiritual sense of wellbeing & our relations with our Ancestors and to the unbroken spirit that lives within us all.
During our ceremonies we work with the profound & beautiful heart opening plant medicine of Cacao to facilitate our journey home within.
This is also a holy Initiation into Ancient Womb Wisdom & into new ways of leadership, anchored in the heart & womb rather than the head.This is one of the ways we can bring a sense of connection& restoration to both our internal & external landscapes & to the body of our Earth by returning to the wisdom, potency & healing medicine within our cyclical nature, menstrual cycle, our internal rhythm & instinct & our home coming to nature, knowing with all of our heart that we are a force of nature.
This is the only offering of this kind here in the Channel Islands I feel deeply honoured & excited to share this revolutionary work with you in person.
THE JOURNEY
It is my belief we all come to this Earth with a purpose a unique gift to share.Within our current society & upbringing this “gift” often goes un nurtured & unrecognised , this can leave a huge void within us, we are left always searching for something never feeling satisfied , this journey is about getting in touch with our true calling & purpose here on this Earth.
This Journey will reconnect you to your core, to the call & longing of your heart,helping you to remember who you are & what it is you are here to give, what it is that truly matters to you.
This Journey is intended to provide you firstly with tools to heal yourself & your relationship with our Earth Mother, the Sacred & all we are connected to so you can know & feel you really belong.
As well as provide you with an understanding of the Ways in which Medicine Women & Earth keepers work, harness & commune in partnership with the Sacred. Elements-water, fire , Earth & Air the Elementals, Animal Spirit allies & the Unseen.
Combining embodied ceremony & dance ritual, we weave the threads of the medicine we are gathering into a beautiful tapestry of integration & sharing.
We journey deep into our inner worlds finding healing as we return to self. We learn how to connect with the eternal forest within & with different archetypal allies, we call to the inner medicine woman & shamanica deep within where we can draw from the vast well of her ancient wisdom.
At the Heart of this work is the prayer of the Eagle & Condor. An Ancient prophecy of a time of great healing where the Indigenous heart wisdom of the south will fly in the same sky in union with the mind of the north. Indigenous wisdom returning from the elders, a great wave of healing so we may all remember and seek to find our Indigenous soul. Remembering our ceremonies and rituals with community and our connection to spirit, together recreating them and weaving them into our world today.
Workshops/ Ceremonies will take place on a monthly basis along with monthly sacred tasks, resources, recorded journeys & guidance. There will also be a cycle of 5 Online Medicine lodge wisdom sharing circles during the year long journey.
This offering is in no way a full apprenticeship & does not qualify you to perform any type of healing on others or to work with Movement / Ceremony or the work of Medicine Woman Movement that is shared with you,this is not a training to teach the work.
It is offered for you to firstly undertake your own journey with this work & to deepen your understanding & Connection to yourself & your unique blueprint & purpose & to come home to a real sense of recognition that you are an elemental being, widening your sense of ground & belonging.
Yet this will of course empower your offerings & work out in the world.
This journey will also serve as a foundation if you wish to continue with the pathway & work of Medicine Woman Movement which in time will offer Apprenticeship & Training along with Sacred Journeys internationally.
WHO IS IT FOR ?
Any woman who is ready for a transformational shift in their life and who is willing to choose to stand more fully in her true self & calling.
This offering is only open to those who are deeply committed to their path of awakening & the full cycle of this workshop.

This is transformational work & you need to enter this with the knowledge that you will undergo a shift & change is a given.

MEET BONNIE MCATEER YOUR GUIDE ON THIS JOURNEY
Bonnie is a Medicine Woman & wild spirit who has traveled across continents & vast inner worlds for over 2 decades to bring this medicine home. She weaves in deep teachings from Intense Initiations she received in the Amazon rainforest bridging a pathway from the dreaming world to this world.
Her roots are deeply nourished by a 13yr shamanic apprenticeship with the founders of Movement Medicine in which Bonnie Graduated & trained to the most advanced level, after 10yr of teaching locally & internationally she was called by spirit in the form of a double lightning strike just after the birth of her second child to initiate her own body of work.
She weaves within this work the prayer & prophecy of our time Bonnie is Initiated into an ancient lineage of Inca Paqo of the Qero people in the high Andes of Peru journeying in an ongoing apprenticeship training as a Nusta Paqo
Also trained as a menstruality mentor with the Red School she shares her deep passion for reclaiming the wisdom of our womb & cyclical nature.
With decades of work within ceremony & ritual around the world she holds a powerful space for deep transformation and homecoming.
“Bonnie is a radical human being & she brings this edge into the space she holds. Her offering is about our deep connection with spirit & the other-world.” Kristin - Germany
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 ebb & 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
“This is the deepest & most transformative work I’ve ever done with Bonnie - journeying in the most loving & supportive energy. Her shamanic guidance gifted me heart opening shifts & insights in connection to my cycle & creative power. The flow of creativity that followed this retreat was so strong & so fated. I did this work with Bonnie at a time of deep maternal grief, & it re-empowered my connection to my heart & to my feminine. In re-accessing my full feminine, I became whole again. I’d repeat this retreat in a heartbeat to journey deeper into the layers. Thank you so much for your powerful work, Bonnie.'
Jenna Lamorna Wagstaffe Jersey Uk
Wow. What a beautiful, rare and wonderful gift it was to experience this work & Ceremony with Bonnie. The medicine of the movement is powerful beyond measure yet also gentle and 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 -Maine USA
“With each week, I relaxed into the dance more and felt a deeper connection with the elements that I’m part of. I became more aware of my inner world and my power grew with each stretching up to the tree of life and breathing in the energy of Mother Earth. I feel more inclined to believe that my true nature is what will get me through the next few difficult years as societies crumble.
Bonnie is an amazingly warm and beautiful soul! She makes you feel at ease and part of the group from day one. She has the wisdom and energy of someone much older. I felt comfortable in the knowledge that she holds a protective and caring space in which to dance and express myself fully. She ensures you feel connected with others through her teachings, .
The journey to an awareness of our own heart and true nature is a difficult one unless your guide is fully committed to showing you the way. Bonnie is just that; an amazingly shining beacon of light, fully committed to shining her light for us.
I have so much more time and care for our elements around us now and embrace every opportunity to dance and connect in them.
The chance to see and dance with other like minded souls was such a gift too at, what can be, a very isolating time in our lives.
Although there is much to do to put things right in our crazy world, I feel more optimistic and hopeful that we will get there, as my power and connection to my heart is all the stronger for learning from Bonnie.”
Ingrid Finch -North Cyprus
"Every so often you come across a body of work that really speaks to you, this happened when I experienced Movement Medicine with Bonnie. It had such depth and combined Shamanism, Journey work and Dance which are all of my favourite things ! The depth of the work really spoke to me. I love deep work and I would really recommend this work to anyone who wishes to explore more of their inner world. Bonnie has this amazing presence , she is so dedicated to her work. I have many years of experience as a teacher and every now and then you come across an amazing teacher who you can learn a lot from, Bonnie is one of those, I can recommend this work with all of my heart, give yourself this gift and see what happens."
-Malika Love- International teacher, Seer, Shamanic Journey Facilitator- Netherlands
“Movement Medicine with Bonnie this past year has changed my life”
-Irene Ischia -Jersey
"Bonnie's presence is so refreshingly and beautifully real. I have found these Movement Medicine gatherings to be Sacred Cathartic & truly Profound. She creates a container of permission to deeply sense, explore, connect with the body & the elements."
-Alaris Todar- Chicago USA
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.
I am excited to meet & Journeying with you beautiful one, if your heart feels the call to this transformational journey home to yourself, be in touch ,we look forward to welcoming you with open arms
All my LOVE
Bonnie x
