Yael Deckelbaum
Yael Deckelbaum, is a platinum award-winning Israeli/Canadian singer/songwriter and activist.
Her powerful voice has inspired millions worldwide. Her viral anthem, "Prayer of the Mothers", has become a symbol of unity and hope.
From her early days as a singer songwriter to her current role as a leading advocate for women's rights, Yael's music continues to break barriers and ignite change, uniting voices and hearts across cultures and continents.
Yael performs internationally throughout Israel, Europe and the USA, where she has become more and more active in using her music to inspire positive change and support non-violent communication between cultures that are in conflict, emphasizing the necessity of female leadership.
In her workshop “What About The Women", Yael will also combine poems and stories from her travels around the world and share insights into the connection between music, activism and healing.
Urtema Dolphin:
Urtema has always been attuned to the unseen. From a young age, she experienced vivid dreams of flight, glimpses of faeries, and a deep connection to the natural and spiritual worlds. Her early years were marked by a profound sense of wonder and an unwavering belief in magic, which, like so many of us , she kept hidden for fear of ridicule. A childhood vow to serve the divine laid the foundation for her spiritual path, which awakened fully in 2001 through a deep transformative experience.
Urtema has always had a deep interest and connection to indigenous cultures and peoples and has travelled extensively visiting , living with and learning from many people in many lands . As a channel, healer, ceremonialist and Complementary Therapist, Urtema now supports others in their healing and awakening. She stands today as a wise elder, holding the light of love and truth, guiding others with compassion and clarity so they too may rise into their own power and purpose.
Urtema has supported Medicine Woman from the beginning and it is an honour to have her gifts and presence with us.
Steph Magenta:
Steph Magenta is the founder of Seven Directions® Breathwork Training. She is a fully trained breathwork teacher and trainer, Oxygen Advantage Advanced guide, and Red Path shamanic practitioner.
Steph’s background in substance misuse, addiction research and sexual freedom activism informs her grounded, heart centred and trauma aware approach to the practice of breathwork. She has devoted much of her life to healing and wellbeing, exploring many modalities including a decade of working with plant medicines before coming to the realisation that for her, embodied breath and somatic based practices afforded significantly increased insight and integration.
She is trained in many things, perhaps the most pertinent here being The Right Use of Power, Authentic Relating, TRE trauma release practice, The Wheel of Consent for Professionals and most recently, Dra.Rosales Meza’s Decolonizing the Whyte Mind work.
An activist for most of her life, Steph is deeply passionate about engaging the practice of breathwork for social change.
A note from the creatrix/ mamma of Medicine Woman:
At the heart of all my work as a creatrix is a deep sense of connection, belonging, and empowerment. My intention is to create spaces where every woman is honoured and heard, weaving together the threads of wisdom and healing. Through these gatherings, I bring together medicine women and elders, holding the space for collective healing and empowerment.
My own journey continues to be one of profound inner work and resilience. Wisdom beyond my years and a deep sense of connectivity have always been at the core of who I am. I believe that every woman has a voice and deserves to reclaim her sovereignty, especially in these times of rapid change.
In this work, my vision is to foster a village of empowerment, education, and celebration, where every woman remembers her medicine. This work is not just about healing; it’s about reclaiming our collective voice and the wisdom that resides within us all.
