ubuntu-based healing. shamanic life coaching. natural immersion breakthrough
Reclaiming women’s spirituality and women’s ritual is absolutely vital for the care and sustenance of a woman’s soul and when a woman is empowered and centered, there is a natural resonance with the rest of her life. Because most women today have forgotten the traditions and customs of our ancestors it is no wonder why approximately 12 million women in the United States experience clinical depression each year. The modern world has been designed to keep us from focusing on our connection to source and because of that many women feel they have lost their connection to spirit, nature and their creative spark leaving them feeling stagnant in their lives.
By acknowledging the divinity within ourselves – the Goddess and the God, Sacred Duality: we acknowledge the inherent power that is within us. We no longer need to stumble alone in the dark in pain and anger and shame – we have the ability to reclaim our power and acknowledge the pain, anger and shame; name it; feel it; and release it.
It is through ritual and ceremony that we accomplish the task and embark on the rites of passage needed to bring us to the threshold of our new desired reality. Ritual and ceremony allow us to make transitions and mark important events in our lives, we express ourselves in joy and sorrow, and perhaps, most importantly, we create and sustain identity. Ritual and ceremony motivate and move us to make the necessary changes in our lives and allow us to fully process, integrate and implement growth into our everyday life.
What is R.A.W?
Radically Awakened Woman (R.A.W) transformational coaching
is a special mix of:
ubuntu-based wisdom
women’s initiatory rites of passage
traditional earth-based healing practices
nature-based life coaching
ancestral bone oracle divination
spiritual guidance & support
goal-setting & accountability
ritual + ceremony
in a sacred and safe container specially designed
to accelerate your journey towards personal mastery + spiritual liberation!
This is more than a program this is an activation of your potential..
Each experience is uniquely tailored to you
to provide you with the tools to actualize and live the life
you’ve been wanting to live.
“When the women heal, the world heals.”
We believe that personal development, growth, transformation and empowerment of the soul only truly occurs when raw emotion has an outlet to be fully embodied and integrated through the process of ritual + ceremony while being witnessed within a safe and sacred community container which we understand in the Zulu -Bantu tradition as the foundational elements of Ubuntu. Without this complete process of the 5 natural elements, true healing at its root will not be materialized within the individual and/or the collective.

Saturday, August 28thR.A.W Elemental Initiation Day The Wisdom of the Wailing Woman Ancestral Baptism & Grief Ritual “Rituals are actions that symbolically connect us to the divine within and without. Through the release of expressing feelings, emotions and dormant energy within the body it can bring about a sense of closure, or keep an important part of the past alive in a more meaningful way. When rituals are done to commemorate a loss, they honor both the person who is doing them and what they’ve lost.”
In The Wisdom of the Wailing Woman Ancestral Baptism & Grief Ritual R.AW initiates will come to the river and do the divine work of letting go and laying burdens down not only for themselves, their loved ones and their ancestors but for the collective of woman that need to wail that live within our bones. This powerful ceremony will be lead by Makhosi Ateyo along with the R.A.W Priestess Facility and Support Team. Ancestor Fire | The Sol Walk ft.
