Moon Lodge Society
The Moon Lodge Society (MLS) was founded in 2009 by traditional women leaders from the Mohawk Nation and supports a sisterhood of spiritual women practicing Haudenosaunee lifeways in honor of the sacred feminine. Run by Kanien’kehá:ka Clan Mothers and young women apprentices, Moon Lodge Society offers ceremony and rights of passage programming to support the spiritual and cultural needs of women and youth primarily, and of the community overall.
“Women united in a common prayer can change the world. The Moon Lodge is where women speak to the Earth Mother and receive her instructions to harness the strength that humanity will need in this time of earthly change.”
