The Womb Alchemist, Bugarach (2026)

31/03/2026

I've walked these lands in sleet & snow, carrying 10 kilos of water on my back

I've watched the leaves fall,
and the blossoms bloom

Melted snow on the stove,
avoided getting struck by lightning in a storm

I've waited in stillness and silence for a mother boar to pass with her 7 piglets,
&
spent hours watching the soaring vultures, hoping to catch one of their falling feathers

I've followed paths
&
none at all

Getting lost and found again
in her labyrinth of valleys

& her deep dark, womb caves

For to truy know a land
We must feel it in all 4 seasons

Bow to her in her beauty

Which is not defined by the sunshine or the rain

For to love a land
Is to Love like you would a woman

In all her different shades.

♡

A love letter for my beloved Aude & Bugarach Valley in Occitanie, France

& an invit-ation to walk with us.

I am honoured to share will be joining & I once again in France this May.

Louise is devoted to bringing women together to co-weave and -create a new way of life rooted in love, truth, authenticity and nourishment.

To remember the ways of HER - the Primordial Mother.

Returning to community lived in tune with the cycles of the Mother, and authentic relation.

Louise brings grounded presence, fierce devotion, grace, nurture, compassion and deep tenderness. Merging fire and water. She walks the Magdalen path of the Desert Rose in devotion to the Great Mother, and is yet firmly anchored into her Nordic Ancestral roots - bringing forth the mysteries of the deep waters of the womb and singing the songs of the Earth.

She works in-between the somatic and mystical, devotional and ancestral, the shamanic and energetic - with one foot on the trauma-informed, therapeutic path and the other on the mystical, ta***ic path.

Through the past +10 years, Louise has pilgrimaged extensively, communing with the land in Southern France, Egypt, UK, Spanish Pyrenees, Iceland and Scandinavia. The past couple of years, assisting and co-weaving on these journeys with both Bryony and Anna.

☆🌹☆

We will be going Live on 02.04 at 10am CET to speak to our time together in Occitanie in 2024, & the cross-threads of the somatic and the mystical.

And we have a circle this Saturday too, follow li.nk in usual place or pop a D.M. to receive.

Im excited to share will be weaving with us as Temple Keeper during this iteration of the Druid Rose ~ having first walked these lands together during my pregnancy in 2024 (see image 11 for a feel of that trip, more to come.)

The call to Return, awakened in an ecstatic experience shared at the Isis Throne, whereby the Full Moon 🌕 rose just as we arrived at this sacred site on the side of a mountain. And with that, the deep recognition that these lands had more they wished to share with her ~ & through her.

So it is with joy that we welcome her into the constellation, to bring her gifts as an eco-sens-ual somatic guide, inviting us into deeper listening and commun-ing & commun-icating with the elements and er●-tic current alive in the land.

We will be going LIVE together on the 19 March? At 3pm UK/4pm CET ~ to dive into the pulse of magic in these lands, our shared experiences in the Labyrinth, Caves & Throne ~ and to give voice to themes unveiling themselves at this time.

~

Following the arc of our journey through Purification, Anchor & Compass ~
she has drawn parallels between the themes in her work as:

~somatic sens-ual awakening
~earth-body encounters
~current of er●s as guide

To breathe the thread of
Earth as Beloved,
& the Body as the Vessel to receive
~ that current, that thread of Life
& whisper it back in our fullest expression & devotion.

Tune in to the sli-des above to feel more of her essence in the space.

As a dear friend, sea-star & ally ~ I trust her deeply to be attuned with the group field ~ following what is alive and desires to be seen, held, witnessed & expressed in the journey.

We are looking forward to you joining us for this conversati●n.

We commence as Venus, as the Evening Star aligns with the Moon, bringing us into the Rose Gate of the Heart.

So our inner quest is mirrored in the Earth & Stars as we pass through the gateways of:
purification, anchor & compass.

♡

Our journey is initiated by the crystalline waters and ancient stone, beginning our immersion into the teachings of the feminine heart.

Here, we exhale into the deep holding the land has for us.

Here, we soften into our animal bodies to become one with the wild river, at home amongst the mossy rocks, allowing our hearts to be purified by the undulating rhythms of the land, awakening codes of revelation and freedom, as we dance the winding path laid by the Magdalenes in Southern France.

Trusting our feet, we follow the rose path to Bugarach, where the Magdalenes are said to have set up their ministry upon fleeing Jerusalem.

Dotted between mountain and stream, an abundance of places hidden & known invite us into communion with them as we anchor more deeply into our centre.

In this rugged landscape, we unfurl the petals of our hearts, remembering that the answers which we seek exist within the Earth herself, and to those who have ears to

She speaks.

Surrendering to the dark light of the cave, our inner eyes open, recognising our part to play in the dance of creation.

The Magdalene legend has woven its way into this place like a river carving through rock, a myth with a soul more true than any historians account.

With our bare hearts and feet, we invite an embodied encounter with these living mysteries, revealing the interconnection between Matter & Spirit, Earth Mother & Sky Mother, as we actively participate in the Mystery as it is being lived through us - unveiling the Druid Rose, the remembrance that all is holy & whole, held in the sacred Web of Life.

I wrote these words quite early on in my pregnancy, with my son.

I didn't get around to sharing them, partly as I was feeling too vulnerable - to openly express what was moving, and partly as I simply didn't feel the impulse to share much at all during that time.

I was taken on a very internal journey,
feeling on the precipice of this great change,
this deep unravelling

& as I witness my son grow, now feeling more and more like he is transitioning from baby to toddler ~ I feel another layer of emergence, and joy in his curiosity & exploration ~ simultaneously met by the grief of us becoming more & more separate beings.

Pregnancy felt like a real journey into the acceptance of the paradox of being, which has continued into my mothering journey.

Recognising I can be & feel both

&
a recognition of actually how short that time is.

It is such a trip to witness the little one who was created inside you,
now roaming, smiling ~ freely in the world.

The most precious, tender & innocent thing.

To the mothers, those yet to cross this threshold &
to all women ~ beings

I see you, I feel you
together we remember the sacredness of his threshold.

Re-weaving our world anew.

I'm grateful to share that .beam will be joining our constellation for Return of the Druid Rose, after having walked with me previously in the South of France back in 2023.

The call to Return, came through her deepening devotion to the Rose 🌹 & a longing to immerse in the dark light of the Cave ~ this time journeying to the womb-like, pitch-black Cave of Mount Bugarach.

After years weaving together, and exchanging through sessions (her offering soul-led coaching, & myself womb&rose-led shamanic embodiment) ~ it has felt only right to invite her to bring some of her magic into this iteration.

As a soulful leadership coach, pycho-spiritual guide & spoken word artist ~ Bonny brings depth and intimacy through her Art and dedication to the Beauty Way.

She will be bringing enquiry & writing prompts, that will be woven as the journey unfolds, remaining true to what is alive and moving in the group field

~ following the arc of our journey through Purification, Anchor & Compass

~ which she has drawn a parallel between the 3 levels of being:
Personality, Soul & Core/Spirit.

In the slides above you can take a deeper look at what Bonny will craft during our time together.

🔥 Meeting at the Threhold 🔥

Before we make a choice or change in our lives, we can often find ourselves sitting in a liminal place.

We haven't quite made it through the door into the next chapter, yet we are no longer resting in the comfort (or discomfort) of that previous place.

When I don't know which way to go, or if change is inevitable and I need to ride the waves - then I find I have more capacity to drop into that threshold, when I step out of my usual routine ~ and enter the liminal space of pilgrimage, of a journey.

It can be a day, or a week or a month ~ but I find myself more receptive and open when I change my environment ~ changing my perspective.

This is often what I notice when we gather in circle for the first time on our group journeys in S. France ~ that we are all together at a threshold. The amount of times I hear the words: "I'm at a transition point" for me is a deep reminder as to the why we choose to pilgrimage.

In stepping out of our usual day-to-day and entering the group field ~ our internal experience can be externalised or mirrored and given a place to be looked at and moved with, and through - in relation to the land, so that the process becomes alchemical.

A communing & communication with the elements.

In co-creation with Earth as Mother,
Earth as beloved.

In a way, our pilgrimage becomes an amplified prayer of what we are stepping into,

~ or away from.

So often, in the weeks after journeying together in these sacred lands ~ participants share with us their realised dreams, or realisations of what they've needed to let go.

`

A pilgrimage is a place for direct revelation,
of re-orientating ourselves to Love.

~

And anything that may be preventing us from walking in our Truth, in our Love

~ has a tendency to fall away, or redirect us to what is true.

~

So I'm curious ~ what are you moving towards at this time?

& what are you moving away from?

I would love to hear more, so please share in the c●mments bel○w if you feel called.

~ also love ❤️ remembering this 📸 was taken just as the seed of my 🌞 had been planted in my womb. Another threshold.

Feeding & bl*eding simultaneously is holy & wild experience.

Bl●●d moving through me to nourish my son, to give milk and love through my heart.
My breasts.

& at the same time bl●●d moving through me to descend back to Earth, to be given as life to life.
Death to death.

To restore reciprocity.

My body in flow,
in giving
&
giving back.

So much bl●●d moving through me, stirring my inner waters,
~ awakening my voice,
my creativity.

♡

Returning to a cyclical way of being hasn't felt super smooth as a Mother.

My son feels my desire to be more inwards, & then craves my attention even more.

But hoping over time, he will see and understand my cycle ~ as a sacred time, when I nourish me to nurture him more deeply.

When I give in other ways.

Composting the old, decayed ways that no longer serve.

To nourish the growth of the Nū Earth.

♡

These words flowed through me as I walked with him this morning, where often they do these days.

Our daily time together in nature, returning to simplicity and beauty & innocence.

Inviting people to walk with me on these lands, feels like wearing my heart on my sleeve.

Vulnerable, to say the least.

As only a few places have left such a strong mark on me, that they follow me into my dreams.

I've known for my whole life, that my ancestors (on my father's side) came from a small village in the Pyrenees ~ for which we give thanks to our surname.

I knew they had to flee, that they became known as the first refugees when they entered the British Isles for safety and sanctuary.

But little did I know until more recently, that they were the descendants ~ of another group more well known ~ the Cathars, the followers of The Way of Love.

Also targeted heavily and violently during the multiple Inquisitions of the 12th and 13th centuries, the Cathars were among many things (many of which I'm sure have been misinterpreted and manipulated over time too) ~ believers in the equality of male & female, and embraced the teachings of Mary Magdalene ~ many saying they themselves were also her descendants.

This, plus their refusal to forfeit their beliefs for the Catholic Church ~ led to them being massacred ~ across the Occitanie (Southern France)

though the few who survive, some became Huguenots ~ who also later were targeted and fled between the 16th and 18th centuries across the globe.

This story is larger than what I can fit into one post.

And I'm sure will continue into another.

But what I want to acknowledge here, is in that recognition ~ of both the love and the grief I feel upon these lands ~ and the deep sense of returning home

I feel a mission, that is bigger than me.

That many people feel similar ~ when they arrive.

Like something stronger than their mind can comprehend called them.

Not a superficial sort of wanting
but a deep bone longing
to come home

to this place within them
that never left.

And sometimes, it can feel scary to follow that call
but I once read, that the more obstacles there may be on the path to getting somewhere
the deeper the pilgrimage is.

Because in returning,
& remembering
we reclaim that thread
not only for us
but our ancestors too 🌹

For as when you feel called here,
the land is calling for you.

What has held me most deeply in my transition into Matrescence
~ is the land, the feeling of being held by the Mother, in her unpredictable beauty.

My relationship to our more-than-human kin is the web I lean into, when all else feels like it's falling apart.

Reminding me that the only constant is change ~ & as my son grows, so do I and with that another death comes ~ and dissolving of the identity I thought I could grasp onto for a moment.

In Matrescence, they say your brain changes as much (if not more) in becoming Mother as it does in the transition from child to adolescence (11 to 18 years old) ~

that it's the biggest shift in hormones a human can survive without dying.

And often goes little noticed by those around her, in the excitement of the arrival of a new being.

Nothing I feel truly prepares you fully for that shift ~ it's an initiation ~ rite of passage (to say the least) that you must go through to really understand.

It's one of the reasons why I feel the 'pain' of childbirth is actually important. We can't dance and skip our way through something that will utterly turn us upside down and inside out.

The threshold is marked by a deep unearthing of just how much primordial power you contain. That needs to be felt.

Just as Earth quakes in creating new land, so too does a woman's body in bringing forth her child.

This applies however your birth unfolded.

However it unravelled you.

So I gives thanks to the land, for reminding me to release control and rest into the deep exhale of the ebbs and flows

~ just as my son reminds me digging my hands into the sand is the best medicine.

(& im grateful he is at his most content playing in the dirt, that we have very much in common)

🧡

Some imperfect words from my heart to yours.

Image from when I thought I was close to birth, but Phoenix decided to take quite a while longer.

Another lesson he is always teaching me.

Patience and trust in the timing.

Live conversation with .beam about the Rose
~ our journey with 🌹 & her revolution of Love & Truth, our experiences of the caves & sacred sites of S. France and the path of the heart.

We spoke of the subtle ways in which the Rose alters our conciousness, orientating us towards Beauty and how this quiet, inner revolution has huge impact on us as individuals and the collective.

Our chat continued to weave threads of the Caves of S.France, the frequency of darkness and the unfurling experience of pilgrimaging in these sacred heart lands.

We are excited to be together once again on Pilgrimage and to go deeper into the Mysteries of the Rose ~ this Spring on the Druid Rose, Magdalene Journey.

Had to cut the video a little bit ~ but full details found in the usual place. Or drop either one of us a message.

With Love,
Bryony & Bonny
love
