“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 2021. This is an invitation for women who are ready to harness their inner power and reclaim their wild feminine nature. Our mission is to support women to rise and lift each other up along the way. Thank you for answering the call and walking this path with us.
As we navigate global uncertainty, The Trailblazery are hosting a series of curated online experiences for women who need inspiration, encouragement and connection in the times ahead.
Moon Medicine is a circle that keeps on giving and we have hosted incredible women from over the world for our online Moon Medicine gatherings. As women and sisters, as mothers, daughters and granddaughters - this is the time to celebrate our feminine creative life force and midwife a future that serves all beings.
At Moon Medicine we are here to empower and elevate women from all walks of life. Everyone is welcome. We will open space for you to bring whatever is alive for you and together we will explore how we can be of service to ourselves , each other and our world in these challenging times.
You are invited to gather for Agents of Change with our host Kathy Scott, Eileen Flynn /Eileen Ní Fhloinn {Mother, Senator, Irish Traveller Activist, Feminist, Senator }. Aoife Wolf {Singer, Songwriter} and a circle of inspiring medicine women from all over the world on Feb 27 at 7pm GMT.
“I am actually used to being on the other side or out at protests for Traveller rights and women’s rights, so it is strange to be where I am today. It’s brilliant now there is finally a voice in the Seanad Éireann that is a member of the Travelling community. I think my mother is looking down on me. I think she would be proud...”
Senator Eileen Flynn is a brilliant trailblazer, activist and agent of change and was voted by BBC as one of the 100 inspiring and influential women from around the world for 2020. She has been an activist for more than a decade, working with the Irish Traveller Movement, the National Traveller Women’s Forum and Ballyfermot Traveller Action Programme. She has campaigned on housing, marriage equality, abortion rights, anti-racism issues and hate-crime legislation in the Republic of Ireland. From growing up on a halting site to taking a seat in the Seanad she was always motivated to show young women what can be done through perseverance.
“We can look after each other; give each other a hand and lift each other up. Blowing out someone else’s candle won’t make yours burn any brighter. When we stand together, our flames can set the world on fire”.
Eileen has overcome a lot of challenges to blaze a trail in the political sphere and understands first hand how difficult it is for people like her to gain access to education, employment, healthcare and other opportunities that most people take for granted in society. When she was appointed to the Seanad she said she wanted to be the person to “break down barriers for Traveller people and for those at the edge of Irish society. Your background gives you less opportunity. Being a person of colour, or a person with a disability, or a migrant, or a refugee, gives you less opportunity. We’re all different and have a right to be different, but we bring equal worth to the world. We should have equal opportunities”
We look forward to welcoming you to Agents of Change. Moon Medicine was initiated as a space where women can remember, embody and reclaim their authentic powerful selves so that together, we can rise and lift each other up along the way. We will gather together in circle to share stories, songs, practices and resources to support and empower ourselves as women in the world today.
Kathy Scott, Founder and Creative Director of The Trailblazery shares;
“ I am honoured to welcome Eileen Flynn to our Moon Medicine Circle as our guest luminary. I first met Eileen in 2017 when she agreed to be a guest at an event I was producing at Electric Picnic. Her presence, conviction, power and authenticity blew my mind and I have been inspired by her ever since. She is a truth teller and powerful Moon Medicine luminary because she is a leading example for all women everywhere”.

About Eileen
Eileen Flynn made history in 2020 as the first woman from the Irish Travellers community to sit in the Seanad Éireann, the upper house of the Irish Parliament. She is now using her role to help Irish Travellers and other marginalised communities.
About Aoife
Aoife Wolf is a singer-songwriter from County Offaly, her music blends elements of folk and alt-rock to translate the tangled world of the human mind, drawing comparisons to the likes of Kate Bush, Grace Slick and Pj Harvey. Haunting vocals accented by off-kilter guitar lines make for an arresting live performance which has brought her to play to captive audiences in Ireland and even further afield with a run of gigs in Germany.
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.

About Me.
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.
