Feminine Alchemy

An exclusive collaboration between Mindful Being and School of Forgotten Wisdom

Unleash the essence of who you are

When we embody all parts of ourselves we unleash our own feminine essence, our creative expression, our birthright to be authentic, to be seen and heard, to live in the fullness of who we are, unapologetically and courageously.

In collaboration with Sarah Davis at School of Forgotten Wisdom, we host a series of workshops that combine movement, sound, philosophy, journaling, reflections, and sharing.

This 7 month journey recommence January 2025 and will be held at The Goddess & The Guru, Holmfirth

The Feminine Alchemy journey includes

In person ceremony for each of the archetypes  which will be held the first weekend of each month.

Each workshop will combine movement, sound, philosophy, journaling, reflections, and sharing. Together we will dive into the following:

-       Understanding the energies, history and philosophy around each of the archetypes

-       Introduce you to the corresponding goddess energy we will work with

-       Introduce you to the connected chakra

-       Identification of where each of the archetypes play out in your own life

-       Journaling & Reflection on the archetype  

-       Creative writing practices 

-       Light and shadow aspects of each archetype 

-       Embodiment of the archetype through movement and sound 

-       Light language transmission 

-       Guided journey into the energetics of the archetype

The following 3 weeks of the month will be time to discover and integrate the archetype we are working with. You will effectively live in the energy of each archetype and goddess for 4 weeks. Until we move into the next one. As part of this work, you will be provided with the following:

  • A guided shamanic journey to sit with the energies of the archetype and goddess we are working with

  • A daily ritual for integration – this will vary depending on the archetype. Practises may include dancing, journaling, creative writing, making offerings to the earth, laying in the darkness, taking long soaks in the bath

  • Workbook – This will take you deeper into the darker elements you are holding around the archetype. Uncovering Subconscious patterns and beliefs that you may not have been aware of

  • A supportive Facebook group where all women can support each other’s journey and reach out for support

  • The Maiden

    Date: 4th October 2025

    Root Chakra – Goddess – Persephone

    Innocent, carefree, playful, enthusiastic, naïve, enchanting, trusting, free-spirited, fresh-faced, and radiant. This archetype truly embodies new beginnings. She’s easily swayed and impressionable, full of life and potential, and ready to take risks and experience adventure. Her unspoiled nature lends to a limitless amount of trust towards herself and others. Many of us long for this youthful part of ourselves but also still have wounding from our maiden years, which may manifest in later life as people-pleasing, poor boundaries, and a deep longing for something more, the fairy tale that we were taught growing up. By fully integrating this part of ourselves we mature into a woman of character and strength but also respect and honour the parts of ourselves that still desire a free-spirited approach to life.

  • The Mother

    Date: 1st November 2025

    Sacral Chakra – Mary Magdalene

    Unconditional love, nurturing, caring, protective, maternal instinct, desire to create, glowing, sensual and abundant and bursting with fertility. Her focus has turned from herself to caring for others. She longs to birth her own creations as she enters another layer of maturity and understanding of herself. She must be careful not to get blindsided by caring for others, as too much “giving” can often result in not enough “receiving”. As Mothers, many of us forget to tend to our own needs as we are too busy putting other people's needs first. As she ventures into Motherhood, she sees her own inner child, she reflects on her own upbringing, she may uncover wounds created by her own mother that she does not wish to pass onto her own children. This is the place where our inner child healing often begins, as we learn to see the parts of ourselves that may not have been tended to as a child and we learn to love ourselves through it. As we do this it brings us closer to our connection with the great Mother, Mother Earth. Our Cyclical nature.

  • The Lover

    Date: 6th December 2025

    Sacral/Solar Plexus Chakra – Aphrodite

    Sensual, playful, lustful, values pleasure and exploration, holds much importance on sexual relationship. She holds the relationship to our bodies, our relationship to love. Self-love, love of family, love of children, love of other, love and connection to all things in our life. Our deepest truths around relationship, connection and intimacy to another. She is a true exploration of the heart, not just to give love but also receive love. She opens us up to a way of being that’s more embodied, that softens, that flows and moves intuitively. We start to make love to the whole of our world. In such a linear and logical world to embody this archetype is crucial to our health and well-being. She takes us from the mental realm into our bodies, our wombs and our hearts. She knows connection, passion, intimacy and how to be in relationship to herself and others.

She has a strong sense of self and knows her worth in the world. Her life is a living example to others around her. Her confidence can be seen by others as threatening or over bearing.

  • The Warrior

    Date: 7th February 2026

    Throat Chakra – Goddess Lilith

    Determined, fierce, independent, self-assured, purposeful and dynamic. This archetype embodies the doer within us, our need to strive and achieve. To demonstrate dogged persistence for our dreams and goals and to fight for what we believe in and stand for. She has many masculine traits and for many of us comes naturally as its been the western way for many years. Her shadow can manifest as her becoming too rigid, judgemental and black and white in the way she thinks. She may feel uncomfortable asking for help due to her fierce sense of independence.

  • The Wild Woman

    Date: 7th March 2026

    Throat/3rd Eye chakra – Goddess – Kali Ma

    Erratic, unpredictable, loud, self-expressive, confident, moody, short tempered, dominating, impressionable and emotional. For many of us she has been truly supressed for fear of us being misunderstood and shunned. She seeks freedom in all areas of her life. She has an awakened soul and is not scared to use her voice. She knows how to move her body freely and does so as an expression of who she is. She may express anger and rage and can often be misunderstood by those around her. She craves excitement, passion and adventure and can easily become board or restless. She needs a sense of purpose, to dance and express her raw energy.

She is grounded and holds steady foundations to herself and the Earth. The elder within our communities, her eyes hold many stories and her body show the signs of her fruitful existence.
