A Bit About WWWW
Wild Wombyn's Wise Ways is a gathering in the ancient tradition of wombyn around the world. From time immemorial wombyn have come together (sometimes in secret, sometimes openly) to share~our stories, our hearts, our ceremonies, our strengths and our sorrows. To weep and to laugh uproariously until our balance returns. We meet to learn, to grow, to comfort, to strengthen...to find understanding and power as a creatrix. Working collectively & individually to heal ourselves and our broken world.
The intention of Wild Wombyns Wise Ways gathering is to inspire and Empower.

Julianne Edwards
Julianne has been a movement practitioner, teacher & student for the past 15 years
Weaving stories through and with my body...is my favorite language
a/yogi, mother, mystic, storyteller, soul dancer
seeker of depth & the underpinnings of all things and people
a/playful child & wise woman
Movement has been my guide while traversing the spectrum between
Joy and Grief, and back again … again...and again
/movement/...awakens my spirit ...activates my sensuality...births truer, more authentic versions of myself
dissolves hooks of attachment & has cradled me through swells of grief & heart wrenching loss
has brought me into frequencies where I attract relationships rooted in Heart and Love and Play
it has offered me forgiveness for the pain I have inflicted ...
and a shift in perspective when I have felt victimized
It supports me in continuing to develop fierce boundaries by excavating my core “yes” and “no”
I am deeply honored to be invited to share & am excited to connect with all of your hearts and wild ways.
Larisa Noonan
Are your grandmothers calling?
As women living in a culture dramatically lacking in meaningful rituals that celebrate and usher us through major life transitions (menarche, child-birth, menopause, just to name three), we have the opportunity to begin to remember and reweave the ceremonies, rites of passages, and rituals that in ancient times supported women through each stage of their lives. One of the most powerful ways to regain these lost ways is through direct connection with our ancient, loving grandmothers, those who lived in a time when ceremonies such as these were woven into the fabric of their daily lives.
Join me in a ritual-workshop and connect with a loving, wise grandmother (yes, you do have them and yes, they want to connect with you) who can support you in every phase of your life. I'll offer a foundation for safe and effective ritual and then you will have the opportunity to meet one of your ancient grandmothers. We'll also talk about ways to tend this relationship moving forward.
Larisa Noonan is an ancestral healer, shadow worker, and ritualist supporting witchy healers in creating Spirit-Guided businesses. She's passionate about reviving ancient rituals to support 'modern' humans, rites of passages, and becoming ever more the messy, glorious human she is (and celebrating others in doing the same).

Korrine Rothrock - Herbal Somatic Learning
Hello, my name is Korrine. I am a somatic herbalist native to Idaho offering place-based storytelling and guided somatic sensing as a pathway for learning about our local ecology and watershed of the Rocky Mountain bioregion.
I will be offering a multi-sensory deep dive into the world of one wild medicinal plant growing on the land at Rejuvenation Sanctuary. Through story and sensory exploration, the subtle qualities and notes of the plant will become illuminated. Experienced as a weaving of land-based story, tasting of plant infusion, breathing in aromatic notes, and examining with our eyes and hands the plant’s intricate design.
After dropping into our body and becoming acquainted with the plant, we will move through a gentle movement pattern highlighting the unique medicinal actions of the plant for both land and body. I have found this somatic approach to learning plant medicine especially helpful for kinesthetic learners who assimilate and retain information best when there is a meaningful story and physical movement involved in the learning.
Whether this is a first introduction to a wild medicinal plant or a visit with an old friend, this offering is meant to spark a refreshed sense of wonder and awe about an ally living in close proximity.

Heidi Hampe
This has been a vision that I have had since I moved to North Idaho. I was a part of the Northern California Womens Herbal Symposium for many years. I was deeply impacted by the sisterhood that I experienced at this gathering and missed it very much when I moved north and did not see anything like that happening in this area. I hope that we can have this gathering every year, on Labor day weekend. Our land is very special, it has powerful energy and loves to be fed with song, ceremony, dance, laughter, music and cleansing tears....I feel blessed to be able to call this land my home. My wish is for all to leave this gathering more nourished than when they arrived. If you have any questions, please reach out to me, I am here to support you in any way that I can.

"Wombifesting your dreams coming true"
“The old one, the One Who Knows, is within us. She thrives in the deepest soul-psyche of women, the ancient and vital wild Self. Her home is that place in time where the spirit of women and the spirit of wolf meet- the place where the mind and instincts mingle, where a woman’s deep life funds her mundane life. It is the point where the I and the Thou kiss, the place where, in all spirit, women run with the wolves.”
-Clarissa Pinkola Estes-
