9 Moon Apprenticeship Course

January 11th, 2024

For all questions, please email

Starting every year on the New Moon in January for 9 months we journey together in a modern-day Moon College studying and experiencing the feminine mysteries together to bring healing, vision, ecstasy, embodiment and renewal to our lives. During this deep, experiential immersion we travel through 9 Wisdom-Spirals of the Womb Mysteries – to awaken and embody the power of the Divine Creatrix, lived fully in our lives, our bodies, our sexuality, our relationships, and our sacred vocation.

This program is a comprehensive education in the Feminine Wisdom traditions, providing a nurturing modern mystery school environment for spiritual initiation, personal healing, and sacred vocation. With hundreds of students worldwide, this unique feminine shamanic journey has been described as “Incredibly Life-Changing” and “Enchanting “.

The online Apprenticeship requires up to 1-hour time commitment per day (or whatever your schedule allows). You will need the internet to download course materials.

Amongst many threads, we will: ~Heal ancestral imprints (vital for opening to conscious creation, and also to heal our own epigenetic blueprint back to love) ~Awaken the Mystic Rose of the Womb – journeying through the Sacred Gateways of the Womb Medicine Wheel to sexually awaken the Divine Woman/Man. ~Enter the Temple of Feminine Arts – studying and experiencing different body prayers and practices from many sacred feminine priestess lineages.

The apprenticeship was originally created back in 2011 by The Fountain of Life (Dr Azra and Seren Bertrand, authors of the Womb Awakening book). Natalie became their lead teacher and Facilitator for The Fountain of Life and facilitated the 9-Moon Apprenticeship for them for some years. In 2017 Seren and Azra Bertrand decided to let go of The Fountain Of Life and they gave Natalie their blessing to continue to bring forward the 9-Moon Apprenticeship. Natalie has kept it true to the lineages and to its roots, she is a Custodian, honouring the sanctity of the work. Much of Natalie’s learnings and spiritual education have been derived from her 17 years of global travels where she lived with many Indigenous Tribes and Elders and devoted these 17 years to learning their ways. Natalie has also weaved a lot of her own life experience, embodiment and knowledge into the Apprenticeship, she personally facilitates the 9 Moon program and holds a safe and sacred space for all participants involved.
