“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 2022. 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 June 13 at 7pm Irish time (2pm EST/11am PST), The Trailblazery presents “The Heroine’s Journey”, featuring London-based embodied psychotherapist, trauma and addiction specialist and yoga and breathwork teacher Carolyn Cowan.
Carolyn is also an Advanced Yoga Instructor with over 10,000 hours of experience. She runs a private psychotherapy practice in London and also a 220 hour Kundalini Global Teacher Training. She is over 30 years clean and sober from drugs and alcohol. Throughout her own journey out of addiction, she has worked endlessly for others to help them move out of suffering and toward a more present experience of themselves.
Joseph Campbell popularized the archetypal Hero’s Journey – a form of narrative structure where the hero goes out into the world, conquers and comes back to claim his victory. Maureen Murdoch then charted the Heroine’s Journey as an alchemical process of transformation. The Heroine’s Journey is a mythical quest forged from going deep down into the soul to heal and reclaim the gifts of the feminine.
We founded Moon Medicine Academy in the wake of #MeToo and #Repeal as an ongoing Heroine’s Journey for women everywhere. We wanted to inspire women to explore their own Heroine’s Journey and lift each other up along the way.
If you can’t attend the call live, it will be recorded and the replay will be 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 the great heroine Carolyn Cowan to our circle. I first came across her as a yoga teacher and have continued to study with her over the years. She is an incredible spiritual sherpa and has guided so many women through the challenging territory of shame, anxiety, addiction and the female arousal cycle. Beautifully aligned with our mission at Moon Medicine, I am honoured to host her at our June Moon Medicine gathering. I hope you can join us”.

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.
