Moon Lodge 2026
2026-09-15 13:00 - 15:00 | Microsoft Teams
Monthly virtual Moon Lodge
A safe place for women to come together to share their life experiences and embrace the teachings offered by Grandmother Renee and the knowledge shared by Sarah Connors, Naturopath & Indigenous Doula. And it will continue to occur the Third Tuesday of every month, 1-3pm.
We will be aligning our Moon Teachings with our endocrine system (how the body relates to nature). What this means is, we will focus on different areas of the body each month with focus on caring for one’s self and as always Sarah will share her knowledge to use Traditional Medicines to support that par to the body. This will provide an opportunity for all ages to join us and learn more about some ways they can incorporate these tools and teachings to live the good life in all stages along our journey.
Ongoing until Dec 2026
We meet monthly over Microsoft Teams, email Lianne with any questions.
