Women's Moon Circle

Wednesday 19th of November 7-9pm.

This is a potent time to release what no longer serves and plant seeds of courage, intimacy, and authentic power.

Wild Woman Gathering

22nd-24th of August - FULLY BOOKED

Dear Wild Woman,
This gathering is for you.

For every woman who feels the call of the wild — that quiet whisper from deep within that says, “Awaken. Come home to yourself. Live the life that is truly yours.”

This weekend is for you if you are longing to remember who you were before the world told you who to be.
It is for you if you crave a safe, sacred space to explore your truth, your wildness, your authenticity.
It is for you if your heart yearns for connection — to the land, to nature, to sisterhood.

We will spend the weekend together in the embrace of Phenzhopehaugh, in the Ettrick Valley — gathering in circle, dancing, sharing, and learning about the powerful Wild Woman archetype.
We will root ourselves in ceremony, in story, and in soul — immersed in the beauty of the natural world and in the wisdom we carry within.

You are warmly invited. 
Come as you are.

Medicine Drum Circle

Empowered - 
online program.

...
(New dates will be released soon)

Empowered is an inspiring and motivational online program that will guide you back home to Self. Together, in community we will do deep and meaningful work to support you in becoming a more grounded, self-assured and empowered woman.

I created Eco Self-Empowerment™ (ESE) with the intention of fostering higher levels of self awareness, self compassion and self certainty in women. The vision is to empower women, through an eco based inside-out approach, to become grounded, centred, powerful agents for change in this crazy changing world.

We need a new approach, one that upholds the feminine, one that rises from the very earth upon which we make our stand.

"The need for connection and community is primal, as fundamental as the need for air, water, and food."   ~Dean Ornish

"I went to the wild woman gathering, and I have to say it has changed my life. 
For the first time in my life I felt safe and comfortable in a group of women, and I felt connected to them and to nature like I never have before.
I would honestly highly recommend any of Pollyana's sessions for anyone looking for self love, connection with nature and for a community of other like minded souls."
