Bringing the Crone from Exile

We are honored to re-weave the wisdom of the Crone: Dancing with the Shadows into the tapestry of consensual reality because we both, Naomi and Marilu, feel that there are not enough spaces honoring this life stage and the accumulated life experiences that inform the archetype of the Crone. In this container, we are exploring the taboos, the misconceptions, the forgotten and often exiled wisdom of the Crone, as there is work that can be done in the shadows that can’t be done in the light.

This ceremonial container is an invitation for you to walk in with dignity, to embody your mastery and to welcome Her into your life.

                                       

                                                                       ARE YOU READY TO

Embrace the wisdom of your inner crone and reclaim the sacred journey of aging?

Heal generational wounds and transform deep-seated beliefs that no longer serve you?

Honor the natural cycles of life, death and rebirth within you?

Navigate life’s transitions with grace, from maiden to mother, mother to Crone?

Cultivate a deep attunment to nature and the ancient rythms of the Earth which live and pulse within you?

Stand in the power and truth of your experiences and celebrate the wisdom that comes with age?

Support the next generation with profound insights and lessons you’ve gained?

Create sacred rituals that honor each life stage and that connect you to your ancestral line?

Join a community of like-minded women dedicated to empowering each other and embracing the Crone’s rite of passsage? 

We will explore and unravel the many ways in which we are subliminally conditioned to resist, push back and to cling to the looks of the maiden for fear of becoming invisible. But invisibility can be a powerful tool in an often tumultous world if we know how to use invisibility wisely. In Bringing the Crone from Exile, we will infuse each session and week with the ways of the embodied Crone through ritual and ceremony by anointing ourselves and initiating the necessary Rites of Passage because by tending to yourself first, you dissolve the martyr and step into the initiation of the Crone, acknowledging our losses, symbolic deaths and the life transitions which have not been marked.  This container is a deep dive into the currents of aging and the nature of our changing bodies. We will walk with you exploring peri-menopause and menopause, moving from resistance and fear into the embodiment of our worth and mastery.

We will discover how she, the Crone, actually becomes the teacher to the maiden and the mother archetypes. In gracefully welcoming the Crone, we will create the ritualistic opportunity to offer liberation and healing to seven generations within our maternal lines through the veils. To our grandmothers and departed ones.

In Bringing  the Crone from Exile we will weave stories, myth and lore of the wise crone, thereby awakening her within you. There is invaluable potency in this 8-week container, including how you as crone are setting and creating a new blueprint for your descendants to live more authentic lives.

Testimonial

Naomi’s classes, teachings, and mentorship have transformed my life, including my relationship with myself and the world.

I truly do not know where I would be with out her consistent and loving but firm guidance in my life.

In her classes, Naomi has an undeniably magnetic presence that commands embodied attention. Naomi relays complex and in depth-teachings with ease and relatable transmission. She has a somewhat mysterious and magical way of meeting students entirely where they are at, allowing us each to arrive fully as ourselves. She draws authenticity, curiosity, and a willingness too ‘dive deep,’ in both her teachings and guided movements that allow for interactive learning.

Testimonial

It is my deep honor to share the ways that Marilu has impacted my life. I share these words in deep love and respect for my beloved sister and maestra with the acknowledgement that these words are not enough to express my deep gratitude. Marilu found me a few years ago and I am so glad that she did. My life has not been the same since then. Our connection has been beyond the earthly realm and current timeline. It is because of my work with her that I felt complete and grounded in my Indigenous roots and medicine.

When I met Marilu, I was still experiencing physical pain from trauma I endured in academia and in my life. And while I was returning to my gifts and sacred ways, I still felt hesitant in claiming my medicine and my roots. With Marilu’s guidance and potent healings, I recovered parts of my soul. I REMEMBERED. In working with her I claimed my destiny as a medicine woman in the Q’ero Inca lineage, and since that happened, I have felt something lock in place in my heart – pieces of me that I have been searching for my whole life were finally found, and I felt completely embodied. The powerful Shamanic energy healings helped me to clear energetic imprints and recover my soul essence. I am ever grateful for Marilu’s gentle support and healing medicine, for it set me where I needed to be in this lifetime. She helped my spirit remember.

As a medicine woman who practices shamanic Earth medicine, Marilu also helped me to see beyond this earthly reality. She helped me to see beyond this timeline and beyond this agreed upon reality to be able to tap into the highest visions. She helped me to trust the visions that have been given to me and to honor them and bring them forth. She helped me to honor my unique blueprint and to honor the medicine I carry. It was her faith in me as a medicine woman that helped me completely unspell from academia and honor my destiny and path. There is so much more I can say about the teachings she offered to initiate me as a medicine woman, but those are not meant to be shared. I trust that they are seen and felt by those with whom I work.  She also helped me to understand that we can only help those who do their own work, that we are not responsible for everyone, and that we need to honor our rest and pace so that our medicine can remain potent.

As a medicine woman who works deeply with the divine feminine, Marilu also helped me feel confident in the ways that I naturally show up. Spending so much time in academia, I felt shame for showing up in intuitive, organic, fluid, non-linear ways. And, in receiving her teachings, wisdom, and medicine, I felt more confident in my divine feminine, which allowed my gifts to expand.

I have also had the honor of collaborating with Marilu in offering teachings to the greater collective. The potency of our medicine is amplified when we gather and work together. It has been a true honor to work with another medicine woman who honors and actually moves through the medicine, energy, and visions that are presented in real time. This is rare and it is one of the reasons why I have so enjoyed working with her. I do not do academic and linear teachings, for they stifle the medicine and downloads that are made available for the people who show up to work with us.

Marilu’s teachings and guidance connected me more deeply with the spirits, the elements, the web of life, and my womb and power as a woman. I am forever transformed and am eternally grateful, for her medicine has helped me, my family, and all those with whom I work.

For those who feel called to work with Marilu, I encourage you to do so, if you are ready to do your own work. If you are ready to receive for the right reasons, by merely being in her presence you will receive an activation. If you feel called to work with her, I encourage you to do so if you are ready to show up humbly, in integrity and right relationship, if you are ready to EMBODY the work, if you are ready to trust the process not just the outcome, and if you are ready to call forth the ancient future through your own vessel and your own work. I know that the work I used to do before, as a psychologist, as a professor, and as a phd, pales in comparison to the medicine I offer now. I humbly carry the teachings from the Apaza lineage and the Q’ero Inca lineage as an initiated medicine woman, to offer healing to the world that restores the balance and harmony it needs.

Marilu, thank you for your sisterhood that you offer so authentically, thank you for your devotion to the medicine path, thank you for your courage to embody the divine feminine so that we too can remember, thank you for all the ways that you show up, seen and unseen, that are helping us to birth the new earth. Thank you for being a person of integrity, for being trustworthy, for being truly devoted to the ways we are called to show up in these prophetic times. My deep gratitude to our guides for bringing us together again in this lifetime.

Deep bow to you sister, with so much love,

Dra. Rocio Rosales Meza
