The Power of 13
From Maiden to Matriarch
Online from 1st February 2025 for 13 new moons
Connecting to our vital spark gives us more energy.
Grieving what is lost and letting go of our victim, helps us move on.
Creating art, poetry and writing our story, ignites a passion once forgotten. Dance awakens our spirit.
With soul-sisters we can speak what we have often feared to say, because we are in a safe and non-judgmental community. With creative assignments, we get to see our true talents and inspire ourselves into greater motivation.
Dear Sister,
If you are drawn to the writings of Clarissa Pinkola, leadership work by Margaret Wheatley or the teachings of Brene Brown. If you feel drawn to the murmurings of spirit, of myths and legends, of archetypes with the companionship of nature, if you aspire to the qualities of animism and shamanism and you love to dance and be creative, then this might be for you.
Here you will find:
- An opportunity to cultivate your unique wisdom by telling your story, whether to write a book and/or speak from the heart
- Supported Inner-work to do this
- A way to harvest the fruits of your life experience, ready to share with others
- An opportunity to be part of a women’s circle
- Upon completion, receive certification to empower others through creative tools and mentorship, representing The Power Of 13 and Middle Earth Medicine.
This process allows us to explore ourselves more profoundly by changing how we see things. This is where we are celebrated for our true essence, as we unearth the unique talents and gifts that lie within.
This training empowers women, particularly unconventional women prone to isolation, to reclaim their power and share their gift with their community. By delving deep into the feminine spirit, with monthly group sessions, one to one mentoring and group coaching, dances and creative writing, you’ll gain the tools and support to transform personal challenges into profound growth. Discover your unique voice so that you can speak your truth, freely. Connect with a community that has got your back, and want to see you step into your potential. Be of service to others, share your experience and know that you are making a difference. Includes conscious dance/movement for embodiment of the experience and Mandorla process to explore the polarities that are rooted in our lives.
-
This journey will allow you to discover the vitality connected to your soul-spark, to grieve what is lost, moving on to discover the passion for your message with its unique gift. We get to know who we are and bring our empowered talent, with encouragement and support into the world.
-
With soul-sisters and sisterhoods we speak what we have often feared to say, because we are in a safe and non-judgmental community. Obtaining certification of this course gives you inclusion within our community as a ‘Power of 13′ mentor for future students, as well as giving accreditation it serves as a prerequisite for ongoing Middle Earth Medicine conscious dance teacher-training with Caroline.

To help us best understand your needs and expectations, we invite you to complete the questionnaire below. We’re eager to learn more about your interests and what excites you most about this process. Let’s see how we can make this an amazing experience for you.
🌘🌑🌒
In years gone by, our universal calendar was measured with 13 moons, a matriarchal cycle before the patriarchal Gregorian system was put in place. As feminine beings we can reclaim and give attention to the natural cycle of the moon, following our own impulses, creativity, seasons and cycles, to meet with the natural rhythms of the environment, becoming aware of how we as women grow and learn from our matriarchal lineage and the calendar she originally bestowed upon us.
There are 13 lunar cycles in a solar year that have honoured the feminine.
13 has a secret and divine power, signifying the return of the sacred feminine.
The number 13 became feared because of its feminine power.
It is time to reclaim

The Power Of 13
“Those who feel drawn to the number 13, are those who aren’t afraid to think differently”
There are 13 online gatherings. Creative assignments. Individual and sister-hood meetups. Online dances. Group coaching sessions. Regular 1:1 mentoring sessions. Workbook and videos. Certification on completion. Support to set up your own groups. Opportunities to share the work.
“As women we each have innate patterns of (feminine archetypal) behaviour and ways of thinking that can enhance or distort our lives. Until we strive to realise how as individuals we can discern one from the other, then the meaning of our existence is unknown to us” Caroline Carey
Become the Matriarch you were born to be!
Carolines guidance is characterised by deep experienced wisdom, knowledge and a generous, open heart. I never felt judged in any way. I felt free to unfold my wings, to show who I am and to speak my truth. There is a very attentive atmosphere, and I always felt heard and witnessed. Caroline guides the circle with love, supporting us to embrace growth and our light. Thank you so much from my heart.
I cannot recommend this experience enough. Caroline’s deft guidance along with Ayla integrated body, soul, and psyche like no other method I’ve experienced. It carried me gently through the toughest passage of an ongoing life-transition, gifting me with a profound sense of hope and belief in my yet untapped potential at 50. So grateful Caroline birthed this incredible system of introspection, healing and growth, that remains evergreen as we continue our earth-walk. It is truly stunning in depth and scope.

The 13 Archetypes to support our soul craft
The Gathering
The Seer – Visioness
The Seer is a woman of profound insight, connected to the unseen realms. She possesses the ability to peer beyond the veil of reality, to glimpse the future, and to understand the hidden patterns of the universe. Her sacred contract is to share her visions with the world, to illuminate the path for others, and to inspire hope and transformation.
The Poetess – Dreamer
The Poetess is a creative force, a weaver of words and images. She dreams of a world filled with beauty, love, and harmony. Her writing is a sacred act, a way of bringing her dreams into reality. Her creation story is a reflection of her deepest desires and aspirations, a blueprint for the life she wishes to create. She understands the importance of her sacred contract and its origins.
The Maiden – Innocent
The Maiden is a symbol of purity, innocence, and potential. She is curious, imaginative, and open to new experiences. Her awakening curiosity sparks a journey of self-discovery, as she explores the world around her and the depths of her own soul.
The Wild Woman – Spirit Rebel
The Wild Woman is a force of nature, a rebel spirit who defies convention. She is a protector of the Earth and a defender of truth. She is not afraid to speak her mind or to challenge the status quo. Her wildness is a source of power and creativity, inspiring others to break free from limitations and embrace their true selves.
Deeper Knowing
The Huntress & Gatherer – Apprentice
The Huntress & Gatherer is a seeker of knowledge and a collector of experiences. She is always on a quest, searching for meaning and purpose. She is willing to face her fears and challenges, knowing that they are opportunities for growth.

The Actress is a performer, a shape-shifter, and a mistress of illusion. She can play any role, adapt to any situation, and express a wide range of emotions. She is a fearless explorer of the human psyche, using her art to connect with others on a deep level.
The Offering
The Queen – Sovereign
The Queen is a leader, a visionary, and a sovereign. She is confident, assertive, and wise. She takes responsibility for her actions and decisions, and she inspires others to do the same. She is a role model for women everywhere, demonstrating the power of feminine leadership.
The Enchantress – Sacred Fool & Story Teller
The Enchantress is a magical being, a storyteller, and a trickster. She uses her wit, charm, and humour to captivate and inspire. She is a mistress of disguise, able to shift between different personas and realms, a walker between the worlds. Her stories are a way of sharing wisdom, teaching lessons, and sparking imagination.
The Wise Woman – Matriarch
The Wise Woman is a keeper of ancient wisdom, a guardian of tradition. She is a source of guidance and support, offering her knowledge and experience to those who seek it. She is a bridge between generations, connecting the past, present, and future.
The Outer Realms and The Mystery
The Medicine Woman – Elder
The Medicine Woman is a healer, and a spiritual guide. She uses her knowledge to restore balance and harmony. She is a wise counsellor, offering compassionate advice and support.
The Grandmother/Crone – Entering the Mystery
The Grandmother/Crone is a woman of deep wisdom and spiritual maturity. She has embraced the mysteries of life and death, and she is a guide to the underworld. She is a symbol of the cyclical nature of life, the eternal return.
The High Priestess – The One Who Knows
The High Priestess is a woman of profound knowledge, particularly of her own journey and the stories and care of future generations. She is a guardian of sacred knowledge.

I have loved the number 13 since I was a little girl. I took my ballet exam with the number 13 pinned to my chest, I walked away with honours. Twice this happened. My mother said it was my lucky number, it might just be that I was a talented dancer. Nonetheless, I loved the number and it followed me throughout my life. I was always excited if the date fell on Friday the 13th.
I don’t really know why, I can’t remember anything particular apart from the ballet exams, as to why I would have had this favourite, it’s just how it was. Now as I have aged and understood the power of 13, the deeper meanings of it and why it’s so important to the feminine, I have taken it more fully into my working life. And I am clearly not surprised as to why it felt important growing up. I was just that kind of girl!
