THE DESCENT

with Rachel Smithbone 

 

 

 

 

You have arrived. 

 

This space is your Sacred Grove, your portal to transformation, the threshold where you begin the journey back to your body, back to your power, back to the Goddess within.

 

The Descent is not just a course - it is an initiation, a remembrance, and a rebirth.

 

Here, you will shed the layers of shame, conditioning, and disconnection that have kept you from seeing the truth: your body is sacred. Your presence is divine. Your power is limitless. 

 

🌙 How to Begin: .

✨ Join the live coaching calls and movement classes - this is where the teachings come alive, weaving into the fabric of your daily experience.

✨ Engage with your sisterhood - this journey is not meant to be walked alone. Together, we rise.

✨ Every two weeks the next set of resources will land here on the Monday after the group session, except for the first set which will land on Thursday 20th March - the day after the Opening Ceremony.  Each resource is a living, breathing activation designed to guide you deeper into your embodied wisdom

 

Take a breath. Feel the pulse of energy shifting within you.

 

You are exactly where you are meant to be.

 

 Let the Descent begin. 

How it works

 

After the Opening Ceremony the videos for the first transmission will drop on this webpage. 

 

Then, on the Friday after each fortnightly live group coaching session on a Wednesday, the next set of videos will drop. This is to give everyone a day to integrate the live session.

 

There will also be a break after the the first part of this course (transmission 5) to allow people to catch up and to give everyone time to integrate all that we will have done so far in the course

 

A recording of each live session will also appear after its corresponding set of videos.

 

Any questions just drop me a message in the Whatsapp group
