Medicine Journey: Women's Ceremony There is something powerful that happens when women gather together to heal. We live in a world that constantly asks us to speed up, toughen up, and disconnect from ourselves and from each other. This ceremony is a chance to slow down and come back to who you were before a lifetime of conditioning. Through a guided inner journey with the medicine, you’ll reconnect with your body’s wisdom, your own rhythm, and the deeper truth that’s been there all along. What Makes This Different: Harness the Power of the Feminine: By journeying as part of a small group, you’ll discover how connection and mutual support amplify the transformative potential of your journey. This ceremony is designed for women, by a woman. The space holds what we’re often not given room for in daily life: emotional truth, embodied wisdom, and the depth that comes from being fully met. Empower Yourself: By becoming your own healer. We will give you the tools, insights, and confidence to navigate your healing path long after the ceremony itself. Be Part of a Framework for Growth: You’ll connect with other women from the community and find support that extends beyond the ceremony, offering support, accountability, and resources to keep you grounded, inspired and moving forward. What’s Included: Pre-Ceremony Guidance You’ll receive a clear, practical guide to help you prepare physically, emotionally, and mentally. From setting your intention to creating the right environment around you, we'll help you arrive feeling ready. Personalised Dose Consultation Before the ceremony, Melissa will speak with you to determine the right dose for your body and where you are in your journey. The Ceremony This is a quiet, powerful space where you can focus on your intention and go inwards. Melissa will guide the day with care and clarity, creating the conditions for you to meet yourself fully. Integration Support After the ceremony, you’ll receive a written guide to help you process and apply what’s come through. You’ll also be invited to an online integration call to reflect, share, and take your next steps with intention.

The 'golden rule' of negotiation is simple - don't! But life's rarely that simple and very often we do have to negotiate, particularly if we want to win the business and especially if we want to win it on our terms. Such negotiations are crucial. We need to prepare for them. We need a strategy, and the skills to execute it. Does your team have a structured approach? Is it flawlessly executed, every time? Or is there room for improvement?
