MONTHLY MOON CIRCLE
Ritual ~ Remember ~ Reweave
Every New Moon we gather,
Every New Moon we remember what it means to be a woman,
A woman living by the cycles of the Moon & her Womb.
The Red Tent or Moon Lodges were ancient practices of women coming together
A sacred space to return ritual to the busyness of our everyday lives
Today, we remember these ancient feminine rites,
In this space, we reweave the sacred sisterhood once more.
Whichever stage of womanhood you are at, we welcome you
With or without a womb, bleeding or no longer bleeding, we welcome you
The Moon Circle is an online gathering space for you to surrender,
to retreat into your being
to expose what is on your heart,
to shed, to birth, to nourish
Together, we plant seeds of what we wish to call in for the month ahead,
Together, we hold each other accountable for our juiciest, simplest, wildest dreams
We cannot wait to welcome you
NEW MOON CIRCLE'S
I have been hosting New Moon Circles for the last 10 years. It is my devotion to ritual, to the womb. When possible, these are hosted in person at my house. When traveling, they are hosted online.
If you are interested in joining a circle, sign up to my newsletter (at the bottom of this page) or follow me on Instagram to find out when and where they are.
“Taking part in a Moon Circle is such a powerful way to connect to ourselves and to our fellow sisters, at the deepest experiential level. Annette holds the space with such grounding and sensitive skill, allowing us to thread sisterhood in the most vulnerable, yet safe ways.”
- Ella Iris, Moon Sister

MOON SISTERS
“Annette emanates a glorious power of grounded grace & realness in her Moon Circles. This directly translates into the space, making it feel safe, earthy & intuitive. The experience activated a deep sense of presence & wonder in me, & inspired me further into my appreciation for women’s gatherings. Such gratitude for this sacred & holy ritual.”
- Ella Grieg, South Africa
"My Moon Circle experience led by Annette set me free from the pain attached to my past traumas. She taught us vulnerability, release & letting go of shame. I learned to honour my journey as sacred & be there for my sisters. The experience harmonized my cycle. I now honour my bleed time, my cycle & my voice."
- Jess Putsman, London
"Moon Circles always feel like a safe space to arrive exactly as you are and be held. There's something very exciting about seeing all these women's faces on your screen and knowing you are being received and witnessed with such love. The space helps me shift any heaviness and leaves me free and back in my body almost immediately. Thank you for sharing this wisdom with us."
- Tayla Hannah, Durban
Wow.. how my life has changed after I joined Annette’s New Moon Lodge.. being in this woman’s circle has shown me how to be vulnerable and know I’m not the only one who is experiencing these feelings. I’ve learned how to step into my truest form, even though it is not an easy process, I see myself growing each lunar cycle. I’ve watched my seeds grow into beautiful strong plants bearing sweet fragrant flowers. I’ve let go of the pain I’ve been holding on so tightly for years. I’ve had complete burnout which crept up on me over a few months, changing to feeling energized and focused from one and a half hours of moon lodge with my sisters.
