SKILLSHARE MOON

I created an Ancestor Essence at my Dad's grave once with a bowl of spring water, roses and infused it with song. We'll be gathering in a circle and practice embodiment, sing a bit and then each create a 2oz tincture bottle infused with the memory & love of a chosen ancestor.We'll share stories of the ancestor and sing their memory into the water. I'll bring some flowers/herbs that we can add as well. Then we'll all fill up our bottles. This essence/potion can be carried with them at all times, a small way to ritualize 'closeness' with the one they are longing for. The essence is also an energetic medicine for grief; filling their hearts with the memory of storytelling and singing the ancestor's praises...

Creative Process Mapping: Cultivating Creative Discipline from an Embodied Place In this workshop, we will explore how to nurture creative devotion and discipline through the wisdom of the body and the cauldron of our bellies. Drawing on principles from Chi Nei Tsang and somatic practices, we’ll connect with the seat of our creativity—our core—and discover how embodied awareness and mindful action can sustain a creative vision. Through guided reflection, journaling, and creative expression, participants will map the terrain of their unique creative process, cultivating devotion, discipline, and follow-through. Somatic techniques will help release blocks, build trust in the creative flow, and reconnect with the natural rhythms of the body. This approach honors the understanding that creativity is not only of the mind—it flows through the entire being and...

What about the space in between the mother and the crone, the space in between a woman’s reproductive years and post menopause? Dancing The In Between Womb Circle invites women to gather in a safe, facilitated container, to share, learn, grow, be inspired, empowered, honored and celebrated through the dance of perimenopause. “Dancing the in between” speaks to the journey women move through for approximately 4-10 years often beginning in our mid-40’s and moving through to our mid-50’s (age range varies, sometimes beginning earlier or ending later). “Dancing the in between” speaks to the space in between, when a woman is no longer reproductive/ child bearing and not quite an elder. “Dancing the in between” speaks to this period called perimenopause and the journey transitioning to postmenopause....

Shaping Earth & Fire: Earthenware Pottery Earthenware is a dialogue with the elements; listening to and from the ways of fire, the personality of clays, and the alchemy of color and form. When we shape wild clays, made of minerals and iron like us of bones and blood, our intentions are magnified and fortified. We will create an earth oven to fire our pottery. Pit firing clay vessels is practiced by many cultures around the world, each with rich, pottery traditions, cuisines and histories. This simple method is the oldest form of pottery making, but with the prevalence of modern technological methods and commercial clay companies, the inherent connection between ceramics and the land has become abstracted. The very use of foraged clays can be a profoundly...
