“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. As we navigate global uncertainty, wehost a series of curated online experiences for women who need inspiration, encouragement and connection in the times ahead.
On Friday July 23rd at 7pm, The Trailblazery presents “Exploring the Activism of Pleasure and Rest” featuring Cathy French, Yoga Teacher, Pleasure Activist and Nidra Queen. Cathy is the creator of online communities Mná An Tobair and collaborator with Attune to the Moon collective.
As the July Full Moon approaches and the pleasure portal of Lughnasa in the Celtic Wheel of the Year beckons, you are invited to rest, retreat and return to the Earth. Cathy French will share her story as a rising Irish voice in the spiritual, wellness, and eco-sensual world. Her personal manifesto consists of ‘decolonising Irish animism, becoming a better ancestor and helping people to forge reconnection with the more than human world’. She will lead us through a potent multi dimensional Yoga Nidra (Restorative) practice to support us to activate pleasure and rest as a radical act of Resistance.
Cathy’s mission is to help people to unearth their innate connection with the living world. She will share her insights and expertise on Yoga Nidra as a pathway to freedom especially in these uncertain and bewildering times. Hosted by Kathy Scott, Founder of The Trailblazery, this very special online experience invites all who participate to rest and reconnect to our wild selves and the wild world that is waiting for us.
Kathy Scott, Founder and Creative Director of The Trailblazery shares:
“I am completely ‘over the moon’ to welcome Cathy French to our circle. We first met at a Katonah Yoga Training with Abbie Galvin and forged an instant sisterhood. Cathy tends to a powerful community space and is a source of inspiration and beauty for many around the world. She is a force of and for nature and a poetic weaver of words and worlds. Her Yoga Nidra downloads are visceral, sensory love bombs. Come and lay down with us as an act of resistance”.

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

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.
