“Moon Medicine - a lunar love in. Over the years, The Trailblazery events have been the source for all sorts of new ideas, but now they have come up with an ancient one...”
☾✩☽
The Trailblazery presents Moon Medicine – a monthly gathering for women to coincide with the Full Moon cycle of 2025. As we navigate global uncertainty, The Trailblazery hosts a curated series of nourishing online experiences for women who need inspiration, encouragement and connection in these initiatory times.
You are invited to gather online on Monday September 1 at 7pm for a special Moon Medicine gathering, entitled “Rooted in Presence, Rising in Power”.
Our guest luminary for the evening will be Susan Quirke {Irish Meditation Teacher, Singer & Social Changemaker}.
Susan is a soul-listener, a singer of truth, and a bridge between worlds. As a meditation teacher, musician, and mental health advocate, Susan holds a rare kind of presence: steady, tender, and transformative. Through her music and teachings, she invites us to remember the beauty and bravery of being fully alive in these times. Rooted in nature and shaped by silence, her voice carries a kind of medicine that calms the nervous system and awakens the heart. Whether on stage or in stillness, Susan believes that healing is both a song and a practice, and that there is immense power in pausing, listening, and tuning in.
This September Full Moon rises as a Harvest Moon, reaching peak illumination on Saturday, September 6, 2025. But this is no ordinary moon. It is a Total Lunar Eclipse when Earth passes directly between the Sun and Moon, veiling the Moon in shadow and igniting it into a deep red glow, the famed “Blood Moon.”
More than a breathtaking celestial sight, this eclipse is a threshold moment, a time of transformation, release, and renewal.
Placed in Pisces, the water sign of intuition, compassion, and transcendence, this eclipse carries potent spiritual currents. Pisces dissolves boundaries, reveals hidden truths, and breaks illusions. As the veils thin, what has been concealed may surface as dreams, intuition reveals insights rising from the depths.
Eclipses are catalysts. They shake loose what no longer serves and propel us into the cosmic cycle of release and renewal. With the Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Virgo, this eclipse activates the Virgo-Pisces axis—the meeting point of heaven and earth. We are called to balance soulful imagination with grounded structure, and tender care with visionary flow. If you’ve been clinging to old patterns, self-doubt, or rigid ways of being, this eclipse invites you to surrender, soften, and trust the unfolding of your path.
As the Wheel of the Year turns, we move from Lughnasa towards the Autumn Equinox. This is a time of harvest, gratitude, and sacred pause.
We gather in celebration, honoring the fruits of our labor, the lessons of the season, and the gifts of the Earth. We reflect, give thanks, and release what is ready to be completed.
On September 22, the Autumn Equinox arrives. Day and night stand in perfect balance before the light begins to wane. For the ancient Irish, this solar festival held great importance: the sky was both clock and calendar, guiding ritual and rhythm. It is the second harvest festival of the Celtic year, a moment when Mother Earth herself pauses in her eternal dance around the Sun.
This online event will be hosted by Kathy Scott, Founder of Moon Medicine & The Trailblazery.

About Moon Medicine
Moon Medicine was initiated by The Trailblazery {Hedge School, Census of the Heart, We Need to Talk About Ireland, Rites of Passage} in 2018 in the light of Repeal and the rising momentum of women worldwide speaking out, stepping up and reclaiming their power. Our mission is to help women to remember, embody and reclaim their authentic powerful selves so that together we can rise and lift each other up along the way. In 2019 the Moon Medicine Global Academy was launched - a year-long online training programme for women which expanded our Moon Medicine circle to include women all over the world.
Our live Moon Medicine gatherings weave together a range of feminine teachings blending ancient wisdom with cutting edge developments in the fields of epigenetics, quantum physics and neuroscience. We explore the gifts of the lunar cycle as a map of empowerment for women’s wellbeing. We draw from a deep well to find practices and resources that support women’s self care and the care of this place we call home. To find out more visit TheTrailblazery.com

Annie Ryan, Artistic Director Corn Exchange
Kathy Scott creates an utterly transcendent yoga experience. I attended her recent Rising Feminine Medicine Yoga Programme and it exceeded any expectations that I might have had on a mental, emotional, energetic and deeply feminine level. Her classes are packed full of wisdom, kindness, practical yoga asanas and meditative exercises that flowed off the mat with me and seamlessly threaded into my days for the rest of the week. Kathy elegantly weaves a powerful depth and breath of experience into all of her classes. Such a restorative weekly tonic. I couldn't recommend her more highly.
