Sacred support through the thresholds of becoming
We offer nature-based circles, rites of passage, and workshops for girls, mothers, fathers, and women. Each offering is designed to honour life’s important transitions with reverence, belonging, practical guidance, and soulful connection to body, nature, and community.
The Mandorla Path
We walk with girls, mothers, fathers, women, and elders through the meaningful thresholds of life, offering nature-based rites of passage that bring support, belonging, and direction during times of change. Rooted in the rhythms of the earth and the wisdom of cycles, our programs nurture self-knowledge, body wisdom, emotional growth, healthy boundaries, and sacred maturation.
Through circles, workshops, camps, and shared community spaces, we offer a reverent pathway of feminine development that honours each life stage and helps people cross life’s thresholds with greater confidence, connection, and meaning.
The mandorla is a sacred symbol of threshold, union, and becoming — the space where two worlds meet and something new is born.

Testimonials
“A future that we want to exist will only exist if we dream it alive by speaking it into being. Mandorla Rites Moon Maiden's invitation was an opportunity for my girl to experience a healthy awakening into becoming a woman. Lisa's kind heart & thoughtful considerate approach held her and the group. Lisa's courage and wisdom shared in this program will ripple through time to support my girls greatest mission, to nurture her authenticity so she can be herself.”
Helen
“I believe one of the greatest gifts you can give a child is a deep understanding of who they truly are before they step into a world that often dilutes and distorts the soul. I know my daughter wouldn’t have fully embraced this wisdom if it had come from her daggy old mum! Lisa’s curriculum is profound, specialised, and essential. I witnessed firsthand the strength that came from her learning and sharing amongst a sisterhood. Although my daughter was resistant at first, I watched her transform throughout the course into a young woman who understands and honours her gifts with courage and pride.”
Tahnee
“Lisa’s heart for woman and specifically for honouring what it means “to be a woman” in these times is extraordinary. Her love, energy, attention to detail and creativity is threaded through this very special program. So worthwhile and so inspiring! Thanks for the space you have held for our daughters.”
Melanie
"I wanted my daughter to have a better experience than I did at her age and the moon maiden circle came at the perfect time for us. Lisa has created a safe & welcoming space for our girls and has nurtured and empowered them through so many different experiences and activities. Each girl was individually thought of and supported & I am so grateful to Lisa for her special considerations for each unique child. My daughter is blessed to have this experience & I know as she grows she will reflect on how lucky she was to receive such a precious gift."
