Embodied Birth Experience
Embodied Birth Experience
Sacred Birth Centre and Lady of Avalon
Online Training
With Freya Rose Birch
This training is a 13-week journey towards an embodied birth experience. You will gain the wisdom and embodiment you need to ecstatically birth your baby. This course is for those who desire to tell a new story about birth and liberate their lineage.
On Embodied Birth Experience, you will learn tools for creating presence during pregnancy and birth to increase connectivity with your baby and create a more euphoric experience.
Through this journey, I will give you the tools to liberate your lineage through deep womb work, whilst also healing and transforming any previous trauma you may be storing in your body, mind, womb or psyche, including birth trauma (being born and previous births).
The training is for heart-centred, soulful women who desire to align with birth as a spiritual, embodied & ecstatic experience.
Goddess Pilgrimages
Goddess Pilgrimages
A pilgrim is someone who sees life as a sacred journey, who sees the earth as a sacred home, who sees the universe as a process… We make the outer journey in order to make an inner journey. The inner landscape is shaped by the outer landscape and vice versa. Therefore, by making an journey to a holy place, we are moved to explore our inner landscape and make our journey to the inner source within.
Wise words by the inspiring Satish Kumar who in the 60’s walked from India the four corners of the nuclear world – Moscow, Paris, London and Washington.
Sacred pilgrimages are journeys of the soul, bringing us in deeper connection with ourselves and the divine. Journeying intentionally to these sacred places can bring healing into our hearts. They can awaken our soul, and help us to remember who we are, and who we once were before. Join us on one.

Priestess of Avalon Training
Priestess and Priest of Avalon Training
with Kit Crowther, Luna Silver and Kathy Jones
Start date: 26th/27th October 2024
In ancient times the role of a Priestess or Priest of the Goddess was recognized as a Sacred Calling, a life lived in service to Goddess within one of Her Sacred Temples, found all around the world in many different cultures. The majority of those Goddess Temples were destroyed when patriarchal forces took over the world thousands of years ago.
Thankfully Goddess is returning to our awareness. She is once again being recognised as Divine Source and Great Mother of All. Many women and some men are beginning to re-member and re-claim an ancient path of devotion and service to Goddess. Communities and Temples of Goddess are being built anew in Her world, allowing people to come together to learn who Goddess is, to celebrate Her, to recreate Her Sacred Sanctuaries and to experience Her wonderful loving nature.

We are a group of parents, educators and visionaries who are passionate about creating New Earth and MotherWorld education! As the world is transforming and more people are awakening, we feel that we are all being asked to step up and co-create the future we dream of. For us this starts with how we bring our children into the world and importantly how we educate them.

Watch Kathy’s Talk at Megalithomania 2022!
A visual exploration of the many and varied landscape and built Temple spaces in which Goddess has been honoured, experienced and worshipped throughout the ages. Kathy presented her ideas of the ways in which Goddess was beloved by the peoples of ancient European lands as shown through the Temples and Sacred Spaces which were created for Her in many different cultures. These Temple spaces were found everywhere up to the ending of the Neolithic era, and modified and changed as patriarchal values entered in. Most are now in ruins.
