Womb Knowledges

from the Andes

Workshop

From the magics of the menstruation and synchronicities with the moon, to the powers of menopause and the walk of wisdom 

 

Facilitated by María Quiñelén, Mapuche* Medicine Woman from Chile, organised by and in collaboration with artists and body/spiritual researchers Isabel Burr Raty and An Mertens.

 

Friday 11 till Sunday 13 November, each day from 14h till 19h. In Brussels.

​

María Quiñelén is a Mapuche medicine woman born in Nueva Imperial, Chile. At the age of 7 her grandmother started training her in the arts of herbs by teaching her, amongst others, how to talk to them in her dreams. Since then, for over 40 years she has been working as a social educator, imparting the Mapuche Cosmovision knowledge through her mobile school. María is also a midwife, expert in natural and humanized birth and a ceremonial facilitator. Actively involved in social media as a feminist and activist influencer, she has been invited by numerous TV and radio programs in Latin America, and lectured in diverse Indigenous Nations knowledge Congresses.

​

During this 3 day workshop María shares the traditional knowledge about the powers in the femenine body and their synchronicities with Mother Earth’s cycles and sidereal bodies. This is a knowledge that has been cultivated since immemorial times in the heart of the Latin American indigenous cosmovisions.

 

The workshop is both a learning and a healing experience within a ceremonial context containing practical and theoretical ingredients, where you will learn about:

    the magics of menstruation and the moon cycles 

    benefits of de-medicalizing conception and birth

    mothering and mattering (children and or projects)

    the powers of the menopause

    the wisdom of aging and the walk of the grandmother  

    womb health (illness prevention and treatments)
