Máire Ní G is the founder of Feminine Sexual Alchemy and helps women & vulva owners have more vitality, libido and embodied sexuality.
As a Senior Universal Tao Instructor with a health science degree she bridges the wisdom of the east with the latest in neuroscience from the west, blending spirit & science. Máire has also studied Polyvagal Theory and trained in the Wheel of Consent and is undergoing training in Passion & Presence: Mindful Couples Sex Therapy.
Máire's been studying the mind-body-spirit connection for more than 25 years and is passionate about helping women & vulva owners come into a deep place of agency & empowerment through a trauma-informed approach.
Karen Egan is a Somatic Sexologist and Embodied Consent facilitator who has spent two decades walking alongside folks navigating the tender territories of shame, stigma, trauma, and life transitions. An edgewalker by nature, Karen has devoted her life’s work to tending to thresholds—those powerful liminal spaces where transformation becomes possible. Drawing from a rich tapestry of modalities—Traditional Chinese Medicine, Behavioral Neuroscience, The Work of Byron Katie, and Somatic Sexology—Karen offers a grounded, whole-person approach to healing and integration.
At the heart of Karen's work lies a radical invitation: to welcome home all the parts of ourselves we've been taught to hide away. She creates sacred containers where the unvoiced voices of the body—so often silenced by our busy, disconnected world—can finally be heard in their wisdom. This journey is ultimately about reconnecting people with their inner compass—that instinctive guidance system that knows exactly what we need, even when the noise of the outer world drowns it out.
Time and again, Karen has witnessed the quiet revolution that unfolds when people fully inhabit their bodies, emotions, and sexuality. As they reclaim exiled parts of themselves and learn to trust their inner wisdom, they naturally stand taller in their truth, integrity, and power. From this rooted place, joy and curiosity blossom, deeper connections flourish, and we begin to co-create the kinder communities our hearts know are possible.

☾✩☽ Cosmic Intel + Teachings ☾✩☽
We are in Taurus Season – the season of earthly pleasures & sensuality. At this time, nectar is risen, filling the air with thick sweet seductive scents. Sensuous flowers are blooming and bursting with colour. Fresh green leaves are popping out to decorate the trees. It’s all very tantalizing. Our senses are alive. We can see what is here all around us.
This Full Moon goes down in Taurus’ polar opposite sign Scorpio, the lord of the underworld.
Ruled by water and the planet Pluto, Scorpio asks us to confront our deepest emotions. In doing so, Scorpio reminds us that we are magicians and healers. We can transform any energy, emotion, or behavior. We can turn darkness into light and tension into relaxation. We can heal from the most painful wounds, turning them into wisdom, and we can navigate any storm with ease. The key to working with this energy is to be willing to feel as the full Moon in Scorpio will be one of the most intense full Moons of the year.
While Scorpio and Taurus stand in opposition in the cosmos and on the zodiac wheel. They both, though, ask us to do the same thing: ground our energy in the present moment.
☾✩☽ Taurus-Scorpio Axis ☾✩☽
The Taurus-Scorpio axis is also known as the axis of life and death. In security-seeking, Taurus wants us to show up exactly as we are, and own our truth in the process. This is especially true when considering themes surrounding money, security, and value systems. Look at it this way, if your shadowy attachment has to do with a toxic co-dependency, or a fear-based mentality around money that you’ve unknowingly subscribed to, it’s being brought to the surface at this time.
Scorpio rules power, control, and transformation—it’s the mythic phoenix that rises from the ashes of destruction. What in your life needs to symbolically “die” so that something new can be born? Let it go—or at least, release your grip—and allow the Scorpio full moon to transmute it. During the Full Moon, we catch greater glimpse and have access to both of these realms. After all, Full Moons are about illuminating the unconscious, that which is unseen - a realm that is familiar to dear Scorpio. Full Moons always highlight the polarities of our inner and outer worlds; and in this case, the polarity between grounded Taurus and magnetic Scorpio. This polarity create a new pathway.
Taurus is the sign of ownership, self-worth, and individual value, the sign of form and embodiment
Scorpio burns away the self and plunges it into the abyss; and transformational truths, a sign tuned into the primordial powers and relationships which define us.
Taurus Vs. Scorpio
When Taurus and Scorpio are in balance, we appreciate what we have because we understand how delicate, unpredictable and fragile life is. We don’t take anything for granted, yet we relax and surrender to life’s intrinsic beauty and grace. With the focus on these two natural oppositions, the themes we are working through are:
• love vs obsession
• sensual femininity vs intimate sexuality
• groundedness vs the unknown
• beauty vs Wickedness
• in view and undercover
• security v transformation
Healthy Taurus energy enjoys life and appreciates whatever comes its way, feeling worthy of receiving it. Unhealthy Taurus energy lacks self-worth and cannot enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
Healthy Scorpio energy knows when it needs to apply healthy precautions, and when it needs to open and share with others. Unhealthy Scorpio energy is anxious, controlling, and daunted by guilt.
☾✩☽ Moon Medicine Rituals ☾✩☽
Create an altar. Create a sacred space in your home - see our guide in aftercare.
Connect with the Moon. Whether or not you subscribe to astrology, the moon is always in the sky, and attuning yourself to the moon's cycle can guide self-care.
New moon: At the beginning of the lunar month, the moon is a new moon. Metaphorically, it's a time to plant the new seeds of goals, intentions, and actions.
Waxing phase: Her growth from new moon to full moon is the waxing phase. This the Warrior Phase—where we gain momentum in our actions.
Waning phase: The Sage Phase happens as she wanes from full, —where we gradually power down, restore ourselves, and integrate lessons learned.
Dark moon: The last few days before the new moon is called the dark moon. Here's when we retreat to our proverbial caves to rest and reflect, preparing for a new cycle ahead
Cleanse. Sage your Home, Bedroom, Chariot & Office. Energetically cleanse the energetic wombs of your life, where you find yourself “creating”.
Observe. Select a journal, and record your dreams, thoughts, insights, experiences and observations.
Collect items: pen, paper, tarot cards, candles, incense, herbs, symbols to represent Luna: mirror, mother, water, seashells, etc.
Have Patience. Have patience with yourself and the journey you’re embarking. Allow yourself the emotional space to process, release, learn, develop and heal.
Lavender Oil. Have lavender in your home, bed or altar. Lavender can bring stillness, and calm an overactive mind.
I Feel. Acknowledge your emotions and journal with what emerges.
Breathe Deeply. The pull of The Moon can bring up strong sensations and emotions – and sometimes this is uncomfortable. However it’s a prime opportunity to feel more and allow the emotion to unfurl. A very practical and grounded way to do so is to focus on the breath and breathe a little deeper than you would normally. Place your hands on your Womb and Heart and take a few deep breaths and feel.
Go For A Moon Walk. Walking in the lunar light in nature can be particularly magical.Watch how the trees move and interact; with The Moon, the wind, with you, and listen, really listen in to the sounds of nature. Moon Bathing can be a truly magical and intimate experience.
Take A Long Luxurious Bath. The Moon affects the tides, the Oceans, the water in our body.
To get in touch with this aspect of nature within and around us – take a long bath.Add in Epson Salts, your favourite essential oil, play some soothing music, light candles and relax.
Tending to your Temple: BodyLiving consciously starts with taking care of your body; the temple that houses you, here on this planet. So, scan yourself from head to toe. How does your body feel? Give yourself all the O2 and H2O your body needs.. Your body will thank you for that.
Ground, Ground, and Ground
The magnetic pull of The Moon is strong so Grounding is super important. If you do nothing else at The Full Moon – ground. It’s especially helpful just before bed as being rooted in the body aids a better sleep.
