Founder of the School of Shamanic Womancraft • Creator of Moonsong workshops • Grandmother
Location: Sydney & Southern Highlands, NSW
BIO
My interest in bringing and offering this information is to help how I can in healing the wounded feminine and the wounded masculine of our patriarchal culture.
My mission is to help women reclaim feminine knowledge and wisdom, to help heal birth, menarche, menstruation, menopause and death, for all my relations.
I represent three lineages:
Home birth Midwifery – ancient wise woman practices passed down the generations that I learned from Maggie Lecky Thompson (Australia).
EarthSong (Boulder, Colorado, USA) Shamanic Teachings and Practices – that I learned from James Harvey (AKA BlackBear) and Cedar Barstow.
Shamanic Midwifery – the teachings and insights of the Late Jeannine Parvati Baker (USA).
(Jane Hardwicke Collings is not registered as a midwife with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia.)

Arahni began her journey with the School of Shamanic Womancraft in 2013 and is a graduate Teacher of the Four Seasons Journey. Arahni consciously walks her own shamanic path of healing and transformation and serves to re-awaken the innate healing wisdom and soul essence within others.

Over a period of eight years, she had a specialised support role working closely with women and children with lived experiences of domestic violence.
Practising the healing arts of wholistic counselling, shamanic woman-crafting, intuitive body work and compassionate enquiry, she now walks alongside women who seek guidance to orient themselves through change and transformation, from birth to death and significant life events in between.
In her community and beyond, she offers 1:2:1 shamanic healing session, initiation rites, healing rituals, reclaiming ceremonies, sacred circles and coming-of-age journeys for mothers & daughters. She facilitates positive menstrual education, offering a new narrative to young girls as they walk through the threshold of Menarche and beyond.
Arahni lives with her daughter in a place between the escarpment and wild cliffs by the sea in the Illawarra, held by the lands of the Five Islands Dreaming, the Wodi Wodi people of the Dharawal Nation and acknowledges that sovereignty has never been ceded. These lands always were and always will be, Aboriginal land.

BIO
The work I do and the life I live is inspired and guided by the earth.
My curiosity to uncover the mystery of womanhood led me to the School of Shamanic Womancraft. Throughout my journey I have seen time and time again that as women we are as the earth. It is the re-connection to self that facilitates a re-connection to the earth.
And it is my passion to facilitate this re-connection and inspire a remembering of the old ways of being, living and doing.
With over 10 years’ experience working with children I have learned that they have open access to remembering and connection. I am passionate about maintaining, inspiring and cultivating these pathways to self-awareness and love for the earth in our next generation of elders.
I honour the indigenous people of this land and their success in living harmoniously with the earth for tens of thousands of years.
To my work in the 4SJ and Maiden’s School of Magic, I bring my passion for the old ways and combine it with my striving for a new paradigm of healed humans living harmoniously with the earth.
