Rites of passage thresholds and practices. Ideas around sacred purpose and deep belonging. Womb wisdom. Connection to the moon, ebb and flow. Openheartedness and vulnerability vs. boundaries, sacred sexuality. Mentoring. Meditations and ceremonies. Deep connection to the natural world. Inner wise woman, inner council. Sealskin/Soulskin. Drum journeys, stories, ceremonies songs, games, nature connection and immersion, advice and support. Looking at feminine based leadership, resilience, and restoration.

4 beautiful days of communion and connection with each other and the forest/ocean. Bonding, sharing, celebrating together the wonderment, mystery and power of the feminine and the glory of the forest beings, trees and their seasonal journey of transformation and community support, taking into the sense the life force, the smell and the beauty of the natural world. The understanding of our true home and place on earth  through our relationship with the forest ecosystem.There will be a day for each season - with nature immersion games, stories, songs, and beautiful ceremony.

​* the "river beneath the river" comes from Dr. Clarisa Pinkola Estes, in her book Women Who Run with the Wolves. She uses this term to describe the deep space we are drawn into when the soul calls.

​

We need a challenge to make the work work! Initatory challenges. River journeys. A whole day spent canoeing down the river. Symbolic of the jpourney to womanhood. Teachings from the river.camping out in the woods. Make offerings from bundles of leaves and herbs to the river, what they kight want to release. Fod cooking on the fire, shared sleeping space, big lodge. Next morning bringing in what teachings they received from the medicine of the river. Introduce circle of courage and mastery (just mastered canoeing, silence and fear, perserverance, strength on journey). Mothers arrive with a feast and gifts for each of the firls to place in their bundles. Witnessed by their family/community.

OLDER WOMEN

Also design for adult women whop didn't get t experience this the first time around... Soul Retrieval. Already intact just need to find it. Recovering fragmented parts of self - piece of it here.  Some trace of it to reveal. Maybe concealed or not visible but it's felt or pieces of it are visible or a thread is present. Opening the awareness to what is present now, not so much what doesn't exist. Reconnecting to parts of ourselves we have hidden from our own view. The psyche has a way to survive especially when young and implements these psyche survival strategies. So these strategies emerge as naturally and spontaneously as heartbeat and breathing - autonomic. Then later they can do the work of stabilizing themselves and learning new strategies, by understanding the limitations of the beliefs that were formed around the conditions that were happening at the time. We can heal the thresholds that we crossed as young women unconsciously. Holding the split off, fragmented, soul parts that were not honoured, witnessed, held or celebrated by our families, communities and culture. Then these parts/strategies can heal, transform and become whole. Feeling into the threads and strands of our medicine that lay hidden and dormant during our teenage/maiden years and pull them through into the present to harvest the gifts that are now available. This in turn leads us towards healing our future thresholds, our future rites of passage, weaving our medicine bundle, helpinf us to step fully into our calling and leave our legacy for future generations. This is the work that is needed for all of us, our daughters, sons, for the earth.

Sessions are typically 60-90 minutes long and might take place by phone, FaceTime, Skype, Zoom or in-person depending on the circumstances. As it is important to me that my work be accessible to those with limited financial resources I operate a sliding scale for low income clients and provide some pro bono sessions to those with severely limited resources. For more information about my work and rates, to discuss your needs, and for any other questions please contact me. I also offer in-person intensives for in-depth facilitated healing experiences.
