A WOMB OF HER OWN
A 9-Months Journey
To Birth Yourself Anew
Self Actualization can be elusive…
What is whispering in you? A creation? An idea?
A project that you don’t yet have words for?
An old pattern you’re ready to release?
A new freedom you wish to gain?
When did you last
Allow yourself to shine for the world to see?
Give yourself & your spirit time to ripen?
Made space for self actualization?
Maybe never?
Our culture doesn’t allow us the time, space, or permission to do that.
What if we do it anyway!?
Your Womb holds the key to Self Actualization
We’ve been trained for too long to see our womb as only a physical organ.
What if your Womb is your Teacher?
What if your womb could lead you to
Finding your Soul Contract…
Finding yourself…
Making change…
What If your Womb IS the Key?
If You're Ready To Grow In A Safe, Brave Space
In a Womb of Peace, a sacred Red Tent –
there is room for you here!
We invite you to a 9-months journey,
guided by the womb, inspired by the physical voyage of pregnancy,
and designed for self growth and self actualization,
in community.
What Can I Expect?
Expect To Be Wowed By Who You Are!
Have the support you need to
Conceive your Wildest/Deepest/Most Hidden or Outrageous Dream
Grow your Dream in a Conscious “Pregnancy”
Get full support
with any obstacle that may come:
Metaphorical ”Morning sickness”, Emotional scares,
or any Unknowns on your way.

About DeAnna Lam
Fondly known as ‘Womb Visionary’, DeAnna helps women love themselves unconditionally.
A pioneer in Menstrual Empowerment, DeAnna has been teaching internationally since the early 1990’s, has been on the leading edge of the global Red Tent Movement since its birth, and has trained women to hold Red Tents in over 30 countries.
Born in Romania, raised in Israel, trained in the U.K. and U.S.A. (where she lives) DeAnna brings cross-cultural flavors and insights to her original work, developed over three decades. As an emissary of inner and outer peace, DeAnna brought Menstrual Empowerment work to her country of origin, Israel, helping Jewish and Palestinian women surpass political and religious differences by deeply bonding around their shared Cyclical nature.
She is author of ‘Becoming Peers – Mentoring Girls Into Womanhood’, and ‘A Diva’s Guide to Getting Your Period’.
“What I have gained is more valuable then I can put in words. The healing I received is subtle, profound and powerful beyond measure. The quality of my life has changed. I am comfortable in my body. I have greater love and respect for myself, I have made peace with my past and my relationships have improved.”

About Yael Zeligman-Merculieff
Yael is of Jewish-Israeli ancestry (Yemen, Syrian, Lithuanian & German roots).
Until 2016 Yael was an alternative educator by day, and a TED volunteer translator by night; a struggling single mother of two in Israel.
One night, in her tiny Kibbutz apartment, she watched a video of a man speaking about things she felt when she gave births. He was Ilarion ‘Kuuyux’ Merculieff, a traditional messenger of his people, the Indigenous Unangan (Aleut) people in Alaska.
Yael contacted him to ask to translate his talk, and… today they are married, living in Alaska, working together and raising the two kids.
Yael assists her spouse with his work for Wisdom Weavers of the World and the Global Center for Indigenous Leadership & Lifeways (GCILL), as well as facilitates “Wombs-of-Peace” circles in the Middle East and beyond.
“It has been an amazing gathering, and such a blessing to be part of. Truly nourishing time. As a healer and holder of energy for so many, it is extremely soothing for me to sit with like minded souls and feel replenished by the elders.”

Dear DeAnna, Thank you from the bottom of my heart and womb for yesterday's session!
I have finished my poem! Posted in my Russian instagram account.
Below is my translation into English:
I am she who wanted to be a man,
because it's easier and much more fun.
I am she who was cursing from excruciating pain every month.
I am she who was dreaming of riding across the wild prairies on a bare horse,
but was taught about corporate ethics instead.
I am she who was ashamed of being touched without being asked.
I am she who was told 'you are woman, you are water, you murmur and flow quietly.'
But if I am Water, I can be Niagara Falls,
If I am Water, I am washing mountains and destroying dams.
And if I am Earth, I am a hot lava volcano.
When I am Fire, skies get hot from my flames.
If I am Air, I am a hurricane wind blowing through centuries,
erasing cities and empires into dust to calm down and become
a gentle breeze caressing your hair.

That was an amazing session, Yael.
What a profound exchange… Wow, it was our "church" service today!
We were in such a state of prayerful calmness.
As always, you are amazing at the flow, summarizing, and steering the group consciousness.

I was in tears of gratitude for most of the gathering.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I connected with long-ago parts of myself, with which I’d been thirsty to connect. I am called to be more of the woman that I already am, in a greater way than I knew possible!”

“Working with DeAnna helped me enter into profound intimacy with myself. The mirror now reflects a new image of me: I now love myself. Like being born in spring - after a cold and dreadful winter. I feel like a gem being polished. Infinite thanks for your work!”
Montserrat C.B.
Midwife. Barcelona, Spain
“I experienced a tender love for myself that had previously eluded me guided by your gorgeous voice and great heart. I knew loving myself was important but never gotten beyond the idea of it. Since our work together, I am able to feel my love.
I'm also able to mend past traumatic moments, when I froze or left myself. I feel such love and gratitude for the meaningful difference you have made in my life.
Here is a gift for you, an image of a clay relief sketch I did after our work together.”
Ellen Keene
Artist, Marshfield, Vermont, USA
“I opened my eyes to loving myself, loving my femininity. I woke up to the significance of being a woman, I begun to honor myself as a woman for the first time. I was reborn.”
