The story of Persephone speaks to our lives over several millennials now. It is a story as old as maidens. It speaks about a young woman's initiation and her separation from her mother. 

We are going to dive deep into a story with young women, aged 14-17 and we are going to experience this day as a gentle Rites of passage process. Making this happen over the school holidays will give us enough mental space to disconnect from our busy lives and connect to the deep undercurrents of the soul. This workshop is aimed for young women only with mother or guardian joining us for the last hour of the workshop. Not only storytelling but a transformative process to understand better what is going on with the rapidly changing teenage body and mind.

MELAINA FARANDA has facilitated sacred women's circles, rites of passage, ceremonies, along with delivering numerous workshops and sharing stories (biographical and imaginative) across Australia for decades. The author of over fifty books published nationally and internationally, Melaina is a lover of the mythopoetic and feels that to speak and listen to certain stories is to be breathed through silver and gold. She has attended England’s premier storytelling course – the Emerson College residential: Storytelling Beyond Words, along with additional in-person training with Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Dr Martin Shaw, Dr Sharon Blackie, Roi Gal-Or, Karmit Evenzur, Ashley Ramsden, Shonaleigh Cumbers, Hugh Lupton, Angharad Wynne, Colin Campbell, and many storytelling luminaries in the UK and USA.

MAYA KRASNA is a true daughter of Yaga country, raised and steeped in Slavic folk tales, and is an Eastern-European witch with a slightly wicked sense of humour. When she is not howling at the moon, she works with herbs and loves to talk about menstruation. She is trained in holding ceremonies by a Woptura lineage (Lakota people) and has a deep appreciation of old traditions and the wisdom of elders. Maya has formal arts, fashion design, natural therapies and ethics education. "I will be guiding you through the forest of your soul and help you make your special doll in a deeply meaningful way."
