“Moon Medicine - a lunar love in. Over the years, The Trailblazery events have been the source for all sorts of new ideas, but now they have come up with an ancient one...”
☾✩☽
The Trailblazery presents Moon Medicine – a monthly gathering for women to coincide with the Full Moon cycle of 2023. As we navigate global uncertainty, we host a series of curated online experiences for women who need inspiration, encouragement and connection in the times ahead.
On Monday April 3 at 7pm Irish time (2pm EST/11am PST), The Trailblazery Presents “Returning to the land” featuring herbalist, musician and storyteller Aoife Dé Danann.
As a ceremonialist, herbalist, musician but also a student and guide of tradition, Aoife is devoted to inspiring and healing cultural identity, land and ancestral relationship. She shares her journey and innate connection to the land through plant medicines, mugwort ceremonies, fire, music, ancestral revival and so much more.
April’s full Pink moon rises in the realm of the cardinal air sign Libra, which is associated with partnerships, social connections, and balance. This brings some much-needed diplomacy and perspective to the me-first energy of Aries season, making it easier to compromise and see things from other points of view.
This special online event will be hosted by Kathy Scott, Founder & Creative Director of The Trailblazery and will also feature Irish musician Sionnán Soul Sounds.
Note: If you can’t attend the call live, it will be recorded and sent to you by email within 24 hours.
Kathy Scott, Founder and Creative Director of The Trailblazery shares:
“I am completely over the moon to welcome Aoife Dé Danann to our next Moon Medicine circle. Over the years many friends told me about her great work and her vision to revive, teach and live the ancient ways of Eire. I started to follow her online after she came to me in my dreams.
Aoife (The Bright One) is a beautiful ceremonialist, fire-keeper, musician, herbalist, student and guide of tradition. She shares her innate connection to the land through plant medicines, mugwort ceremonies, fire, music, ancestral revival and so much more. She has been on a path of reclaiming her own Gaelic Indigenity and a vital ingredient has been relearning an Ghaeilge. Her body of work Is beautifully aligned with our mission at Moon Medicine. Sionnán has been a part of our family at The Trailblazery over the years so I am delighted to host them both at our April Moon Medicine gathering. I hope you can join us”.
About Aoife de Danann
Aoife Ní hEochaidh is a daughter of Éiriú. Working intimately with the land, ancestors and elements, Aoife is devoted to remembering the ancient ways of Éiriú. Through fire and native plant ceremonies, sacred site tours, retreats, and ancestral celebrations, Aoife offers a space for others to heal, pray, and listen to the land. Aoife is an eternal student and guide of the land, she has trained with an Irish medicine woman for 3 years, as well as sitting in many ceremonies with Indigenous teachers. She has studied traditional Irish music for 2 years in Leitrim, has danced for a huge part of her life, so loves to weave the music & dancing into her events. The deepest learning she has received is in the heart of the forest, where she lived for some years - this experience cracked open her ability to converse and commune with the Plants & Trees. It is from this place that she teaches, and shares embodied wisdom that has come directly from her lived experiences.

About Moon Medicine
Moon Medicine was initiated by The Trailblazery {Hedge School, Census of the Heart, We Need to Talk About Ireland, Rites of Passage} in 2018 in the light of Repeal and the rising momentum of women worldwide speaking out, stepping up and reclaiming their power. Our mission is to help women to remember, embody and reclaim their authentic powerful selves so that together we can rise and lift each other up along the way. In 2019 the Moon Medicine Global Academy was launched - a year-long online training programme for women which expanded our Moon Medicine circle to include women all over the world.
Our live Moon Medicine gatherings weave together a range of feminine teachings blending ancient wisdom with cutting edge developments in the fields of epigenetics, quantum physics and neuroscience. We explore the gifts of the lunar cycle as a map of empowerment for women’s wellbeing. We draw from a deep well to find practices and resources that support women’s self care and the care of this place we call home. To find out more visit TheTrailblazery.com

Testimonials:
Kathy Scott has been traveling the world as a passionate student and brave pioneer of practices that bring people into intimate contact with their creativity and power. As a teacher, she beautifully weaves together all that she has gathered into a rich and generous offering. This is a deeply nourishing and powerful brew, especially for women.
Annie Ryan, Artistic Director Corn Exchange
Kathy Scott creates an utterly transcendent yoga experience. I attended her recent Rising Feminine Medicine Yoga Programme and it exceeded any expectations that I might have had on a mental, emotional, energetic and deeply feminine level. Her classes are packed full of wisdom, kindness, practical yoga asanas and meditative exercises that flowed off the mat with me and seamlessly threaded into my days for the rest of the week. Kathy elegantly weaves a powerful depth and breath of experience into all of her classes. Such a restorative weekly tonic. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Yogi, Curator, Creative Entrepreneur and Cultural Acupuncturist; I have been practicing and teaching yoga for over 15 years. I have trained as a teacher in the Kundalini, Sivananda & Anusara yoga methods and am committed to continually developing my practice and teaching. I am deeply influenced by the teachings of Elena Brower, Rod Stryker, Paramatma Siri Sadhana, Michaela Boehm, Thomas Hübl, Tara Brach and many more luminaries on and off the mat. I recently designed Rising Feminine Medicine - an ongoing alchemical practice inviting women to free their mind, open their heart, come home to their body and reclaim their wild feminine nature. I am currently participating on an ongoing tantric training with Michaela Boehm called The Wild Woman’s Way.
I am the curator and founder of many creative projects and enterprises in Ireland including The Trailblazery, the ireland : iceland project, The Wonderlust Stage at Body & Soul. I am currently creative-in-residence at Trinity College Dublin. I support creative entrepreneurs to clarify, strategize and share their unique vision with the world by offering a professional mentoring programme that activates and elevates their trailblazing enterprise. I recently trained with Thomas Hübl as part of The Pocket Project – a global movement dedicated to deepening our understanding of collective and intergenerational trauma.
