Adornment

Hair Healing and Adornment

We gather here to celebrate and connect with each other and ourselves. We are here to adorn, be adorned and facilitate self-love, self-care and transformation. We weave in our connection to the earth and the land, the seasons and the elements as central truth of cultivating beauty from the inside out.

We are here to provide our unique offerings as we come together on the Cedar Bloom Land for the Spirit Weavers Gathering. Among the trees we will create a beautifully adorned salon space, incorporating the beauty of the land around us into an alter of sacred self-care. We will be offering hair services woven with adornment and intention…..Ritual cuts, oil treatments, braids, floral adornment, stick and poke tattooing, henna, color healing and crown empowerment. It will be a place to come and kneel at the alter of your self, and honor and adorn the unique beauty of YOU, reflected and held by the land and our sisters as witness.

We are working to create a new model for cultivating beauty by building and facilitating an intentional Space filled with love and void of judgement or perpetuation of negative beauty beliefs and standards. We aim to create a sense of sacredness and intentionality around beauty so that it may be felt deep within ourselves and grow to permeate our collective world.

The Hair Healing and Adornment Space is a place to come and learn about the beauty and importance of our hair, the sacredness of self care, and the ways of protection and adornment of our crowns.

In this space our Hair Sisters will offer hair trims, rituals of hair care, oiling and brushing, braiding, weaving, and crown adornment using the plants from the forest to decorate our crowns in earthly beauty and rooted strength.

2019 ADORNMENT OFFERINGS WILL BE SHARED THIS SPRING

MEET OUR ADORNMENT SISTERS:

Roxie Jane Hunt

Roxie Jane Hunt is an artist and hair weaver. She is Creative Director of How-to Hair Girl, a blog and shop which seeks to empower people through the art of Hair and it’s importance in our lives.

Her experimentation with hair and plants and earth-based alchemy brought her to create a line of small-batch earth-based products for hair styling and care called the Free Your Hair Earth Collection. She can often be found growing, digging, mixing, and infusing in her little Seattle home-based apothecary and parlor hair salon.

Through the medium of hair, Roxie has woven together a community of radical beauty, acceptance, and personal exploration through hair and the gifts of our natural world. She became a Spiritweaver sister last year, and experienced an indescribable shift. She is thrilled to have the opportunity to share with you and bare witness to your journeys as our community grows together in to one big, beautiful, fierce embrace of the feminine heart.

Hanah Zinn

Hair braiding is not only an esthetic, it’s a cultural fixture. It’s a tool for community building and personal reflection; its a traditional skill. Hanah’s work is to help rescue ritual beauty from the grips of capitalism and patriarchy, and place them back into the hands of the people. Hanah offers classic to complex braided hairstyles as a service to those celebrating and centering in their body. Intuitive designs are intended to serve the braided in their efforts and affirm a playful, expressive self. She has been braiding for 20 years with intensive study in the last four years, and a more recent invitation to the public. Raised in the Midwest tying friendship bracelets, macrame, and weaving baskets, her practice is coming full circle in Southern Appalachia. She braids to honor rites of passage for those moving through milestones. She braids as an act of encouragement for those learning how to own the space they take up; and as an act of love for those defending their bodily autonomy. She braids as an act of resistance against forces that benefit from our isolation and as an act of celebration for our strength in togetherness.
