DESCEND: An evening to listen beneath the surface.

FAQ's

Who is this evening for?

Women of all ages, backgrounds, and identities who are ready to give some real attention to their own needs.

You don't need a particular relationship with your body, cycle, spirituality, ceremony, or yoni steaming to belong here. You are welcome and honored for showing up exactly as you are.

I've never yoni steamed before. Can I still come?

Absolutely. First-time steamers are very welcome.

In fact, this is a beautiful opportunity to experience your first steam because you won't have to figure it out on your own.

Kit will ground the group in how to steam safely, help you determine the appropriate set-up for your body, and guide you through the experience from beginning to end.

And you'll leave knowing how to continue safely at home—with your own Kitara Yoni Steam Pot and guidance around which herbs to use and when to steam.

What is yoni steaming?

Yoni steaming—also known as vaginal, womb, pelvic, or v-steaming—is the practice of positioning the pelvic floor over heated water, often prepared with specific herbs.

It comes from traditions of midwifery and women's care practiced across cultures—ways women have tended to their bodies and one another through menstruation, fertility, postpartum, and other transitions.

During Nourish, we are bringing that practice into a contemporary women's circle: with safety, intention, and reverence for the ways women have known how to tend to themselves and each other.

Why do women yoni steam?

Women come to steaming for many reasons.

Yoni steaming uses warmth, water, herbs, and steam to support the release of stagnation: physical, emotional, and spiritual.

The uterus, like all organs, has a beautiful and powerful self cleansing mechanism. And... we live in a world of external and internalized toxicity that leads to blockages and disease in the body, and womb.

We steam to invite the release of this stagnation so that we can come fully home to the natural and aligned rhythms and wisdom of our cyclical bodies.

Women use the practice in support of menstrual and womb health, fertility, postpartum recovery, perimenopause and menopause, sexual health, and emotional and spiritual healing.

And sometimes, the practice is simply an opportunity to stop, listen, and tend to a part of ourselves that is so often undernourished.

Do I have to steam?

No, this is a space absent of pressure or preformance.

The invitation is to be in relationship with your own body throughout the evening. If steaming isn't a "yes" to you on the evening of Nourish, you are still completely welcome and held in the circle's connection to the wombspace.

There is nothing you need to push through or prove.

Is yoni steaming safe for everyone?

There are times when yoni steaming should not be practiced, including during pregnancy and active menstruation, and there are circumstances when an individual steam protocol may need to be modified.

Kit will review steam safety with the group before we begin and if there are any contraindications you will be held in deep connection with the wombspace, even if you opt out of the steam.

I am in perimenopause and having erratic cycles and/or I am no longer bleeding. Is this for me?

Absolutely, yes! Kit herself is 45 and in the experience of utilizing her steam practice to support this transition.

Women who are through the menopausal portal are very welcome here too. It's a gift to be in your presence. Many women come to steam after the bleeding years, finding it a potent practice to claim at this life phase.

Will I steam on a seat? What if child’s pose isn't comfortable for me?

Seats are available and Kit will also walk you through steaming in child's pose, a powerful way to steam in circle. All bodies are different on all days, so options for you abound and you'll be guided through it all.

Do I need to bring anything?

Showing up as an act of nourishment for yourself and the circle. We are grateful to you for it.

You may choose to also bring a journal, a pen, a mug for tea, comfortable clothes, and a favorite large blanket if you have one.

But honestly, we'll have you covered with all of that too.

What exactly is included?

You'll receive the full Nourish experience: women's circle, guidance around womb health and naming and claiming your needs, and a fully guided yoni steam to support what is ready for you to release, receive, and integrate.

You will also take home a Kitara Yoni Steam Pot and knowledge of everything you need to continue with the practice at home.
