A Multi-generational Mending Circle led by mother and daughter Laura and Phoebe Whipple. Phoebe and I prefer to source second-hand, and thrifted clothes as much as possible, and also make our own garments and accessories. We both know that fashion can be a source of creative inspiration, but as a global industry, it's also a huge source of pollution and waste. As big believers in extending the life of our existing clothing and home goods, we’ll encourage participants to bring their old clothes or other fabric / fiber based items that need a little love to sustain their usefulness. We can take 12 students, and there will not be a materials fee. We’ll supply a variety of thread, needles, yarn, embroidery floss, fabric and mending inspirations. If...

Matrescence is a term used to define the physical, emotional, hormonal, and social shift to being a mother. From the changing territory of hormones to the incredible changes in brain physiology to the shifts in our bodies and perceptions and realities, there is a very real and very misunderstood terrain that we, as mothers, enter into as we become pregnant and that exist regardless of whether our babies make it earthside or not. Motherhood is one of the most profound rites of passage and portals of transformation that exists, yet very few of us have the tools, community, or support to truly explore what this really means for each of us individually, and to be honored, within and without, for the new woman and archetypal reality...

Almost every region of the Earth has a local version of the deer, from Ancient Europe to the Steppe and from Asia to the Americas. Deer species have roamed the planet for over 3.5 million years. They are entwined with humanity on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. In many world cultures, the Deer Mother, Deer Goddess, or Sacred Feminine-as represented by a Deer, is a figure of veneration, petitions, miracles, fertility, and empowerment. The ubiquity of the Deer Mother archetype in global myth suggests an interdependent co-arising of human awareness, as our ancestors interfaced with her sacred species across vast territories. She is a narrative locus for many stories of women's mysteries worldwide. We can gather in the depths of her liquid eyes and her trembling...
