Sacred Womban Initiation by Martina

As winter approaches and darkness settles, we receive an invitation to turn inward and journey into darkness. Not darkness as something to fear, but darkness as the mystery, a place of rest, regeneration, intuition and creation.

Sacred Womban Initiation is a calling to enter the dark.

To rest and surrender into the primordial womb. To lay down the armour.

To slow down.

To listen.

To remember the dark as the feminine principle of creation — the original matrix where ancient creative wisdom lives.

Inspired by Inanna’s mythic descent through seven gates, this 2-day journey invites you to descend inward through the seven energetic centres of the body.

At each gate, you will be invited to meet the stories, beliefs and patterns you have carried about what it means to be a woman — the ways you have learned to shrink, disconnect, silence, control, distrust or abandon yourself.

THE SEVEN-GATE DESCENT

Over two days, we will move through seven gates, mirroring Inanna’s descent into the underworld.

Each gate offers a different doorway into the reclamation of feminine wisdom.

At each gate, you are invited to loosen your attachment to an old story, belief or way of being — and to reclaim a quality of feminine wisdom that has always lived within you.

The descent is not about leaving anything behind by force.

It is about willing to see what we have been carrying, feel what is ready to move, and surrender it into the dark.

Gate by gate, we shed.

Gate by gate, we remember.

Gate by gate, we surrender.

And once we arrive at the root, we are simply asked to rest in the dark of the womb.

We consciously choose to stay in the mystery with presence, allowing the gifts of the descent to reveal themselves in their own time.

We don’t rush back out. We listen. We allow the dark to hold us.

The Experience

Through ritual, art, movement, sound, voice, sensual journey and meditation, we descend inward — releasing old layers and reconnecting with the feminine wisdom and gifts that have always lived within us. Some of the practices you will experience:

JOURNEY THROUGH 7 CHAKRAS

CROWN — MYSTERY & CONNECTION

We open the temple and turn toward the sacred, the unseen and our own direct relationship with mystery.

Sound journey · storytelling · somatic descent

THIRD EYE — INTUITION & INNER VISION

We quiet the rational mind and create space for the subtle language of images, sensations and inner knowing.

Intuitive painting

THROAT — VOICE & TRUTH

What wants to be spoken? We explore authentic expression and the courage to let the body’s voice emerge.

Womb voice activation · Sharing circle

HEART — SISTERHOOD & RECEIVING

We make space for the grief of disconnection between women and open toward the experience of being witnessed, supported and held.

Heart puja · Conscious touch & massage exchange

SOLAR PLEXUS — SOVEREIGNTY & INNER FIRE

We return to our centre, exploring personal power, boundaries and the permission to take up space.

Kundalini yoga kriya · Power reclamation dance

SACRAL — SENSUALITY & PLEASURE

Here we slow down enough to listen to the senses and reconnect with the body’s capacity for pleasure — without performance, pressure or shame. Come curious. Come exactly as you are.

Sensual journey & sensory exploration

ROOT — EMBODIMENT & SURRENDER

Finally, we arrive at the root, our animal body, the earth and the primordial dark.

Here, nothing needs to be done.

We surrender into the womb’s darkness and allow ourselves to be held there — listening for the wisdom that lives within the primordial dark.
