“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, The Trailblazery hosts a series of curated online experiences for women who need inspiration, encouragement and connection in the times ahead.
This month, The Trailblazery presents ‘Moon Medicine Rebelles with a Cause’, with Angela Scanlon & Imelda May, on Wednesday June 23rd at 7pm
On June 23, the Moon Medicine online series hosts two deadly Irish women Angela Scanlon and Imelda May to discuss sisterhood, motherhood, daughterhood and everything in between.
These two extraordinary Irish creatrixes are living in the UK and have both forged stellar careers in the Film, TV and Rock & Roll worlds. They also moonlight as writers, artists, poets, podcasters, fashionistas and soul seekers. We are so delighted to invite them both to Moon Medicine for some witchy chats and tales of the unexpected.
Kathy Scott, Founder and Creative Director of The Trailblazery shares:
“I am completely ‘over the moon’ to invite Angela and Imelda to our circle as guest luminaries. Both of these Irish women are brilliant trailblazers and inspire so many people to live their best lives. They are bright, successful, sensitive, generous, real and partial to a little bit of craic! They are also kindred spirits and I can’t wait to welcome them to our Moon Medicine family. Join us and tell your sisters”.
MEET OUR LUMINARIES:
About Angela Scanlon
Angela Scanlon is an Irish television presenter and broadcaster for RTÉ and the BBC. She presents Your Home Made Perfect on BBC2, a home renovation series using ground-breaking virtual reality technology to showcase two potential renovation solutions for a problem home. She is also a regular presenter on The One Show on BBC1 and part of the BBC Radio 2 family presenting her own show, “Angela Scanlon on Sunday”.
Angela’s first major documentary, OI GINGER, aired in 2014 on RTE to critical acclaim – the show trended worldwide on Twitter and showed off Angela’s playful presenting style and her ability to dig deep into a subject matter. The success of the show led to a follow-up series, Angela Scanlon: Full Frontal in 2015, where she tackled taboo subjects such as extreme makeovers, fitness and nudity. A further series followed Angela Scanlon’s Close Encounters, which saw her dive into the world of WWE with world champion Sheamus, head to NYC to chat books and babies with Dawn O’Porter and take on Katie Hopkins in a very honest and candid interview. From 2016 – 2018 she undertook her first role on a major British show as a co-host of Robot Wars with Dara O’Briain.
About Imelda May
Imelda May is an Irish singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Although known primarily as a singer, she also plays the bodhran, guitar, bass guitar and tambourine.
Born and raised in The Liberties area of Dublin, Imelda has become one of Ireland’s most famed female artists in history. Discovered by Jools Holland, who asked Imelda to go on tour with him, Imelda has gone on to perform duets with artists including U2, Lou Reed, Sinead O Connor, Robert Plant, Van Morrison, Jack Savoretti and Elvis Costello and has featured on recent albums and live tours with Jeff Beck, Jeff Goldblum and Ronnie Wood.
She formed her own band in 2002, and released her debut studio album, No Turning Back. Following an appearance on the BBC music programme Later... with Jools Holland in 2008, she released her second studio album, Love Tattoo (2009). Her third studio album, Mayhem, was released in 2010 and earned her a nomination for the Choice Music Prize. Her fourth studio album, Tribal came out in 2014 and her fifth, Life Love Flesh Blood, was released in 2017, She returned in 2020 with Slip of the Tongue, a musical spoken word EP issued by Universal. Derived from personal notebooks, it addressed topics including heartbreak, obsession, and isolation. At the end of the year, Imelda delivered the first new material from her sixth studio album with the track "11 Past the Hour." ‘11 Past The Hour’ is a record that brims with sensuality, emotional intelligence, spirituality and intuition, marking a new chapter for Imelda and showcasing her at her most authentic. With pals and collaborators like Wood, Gallagher and Miles Kane and inspired contributions from feminist thinkers and activists such as Gina Martin and Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, the album is an invigorating statement of rock n’ low slung blues.
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.

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.
