To engage healing and transformation in our own lives? How do we safely forage, process mushrooms for...

  We are emerging out of thousands of years of a different sense of ourselves as women, and with this comes a need to reconnect to the roots of who we are. By attending to, nurturing, and healing the broken matriarchal lineages, we are able to feel our full sovereignty and dignity. Now, we can stand alongside the strong and loving women on our line. With joy and solidarity, we will gather in circle, as ancient as a circle of women has been and is. We will face and name our fears of standing in our fullness. We will bless our Mothers before us to be, and to hold what is theirs and then we will go to the river and celebrate our new sense of being...

We will learn about reciprocity and what it means to take care of the land and each other. Bring a notepad and pen! Herb walk will be offered by Andrea Jimenez....
