Phoebe and I prefer to source second-hand, and thrifted clothes as much as possible, and also make our own garments and accessories. 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’ll supply a variety of thread, needles, yarn, embroidery floss, fabric and mending inspirations. If participants don’t have their own items to mend, we’ll help them create an adorned patch to use at a later date. We’ll encourage sharing and storytelling as we work together to extend the lives of our beloved garments and goods.   Mending Circle will be taught be Phoebe and Laura Whipple....

  Money Conversations with a Bankruptcy Law Professor Drawing on 20 years as a law professor focused on finance and debt, this workshop will help participants examine their beliefs and experiences around money.

This is not a financial literacy workshop, but you will come away with important practical tools and resources. Together we will: - [ ] Unpack...

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...

This circle is a ritual space to commune with the wildness of the soul-based teachings that arise from fungi.

Fungi are sacred ancestors and guides of soul cycles between heaven, earth, and the underworld. They can orient us in our soul’s journey through transformation and connection.In this space we gather in a circle as a fairy ring or what my Italian ancestry calls a Witch’s Circle: “Cerchio delle Streghe”. We will explore and study how fungi are essential to the resilience of earth’s ecosystems and human wellness. We will also commune with fungi in ritual practices and invitations. We will look to fungi...
