Karen Isis Moon
Karen has been on the spiral path of feminine awakening for 20 years called by Goddess Isis and the silver rays of the moon to remember and share the sacred mysteries that lie within our wombs. Women are cyclic beings and when we reconnect to our own natural rhythms and that of nature we remember the power and magic of being a womban.
