We will...

Attention Different in a Modern World: Remembering the Old Ways of the Mind is a 3-hour circle for women whose nervous systems don’t fit neatly into the modern, linear world. Together we will explore “attention different” (having ADHD-type traits) not as a flaw, but as an old way of sensing — a hunter / tracker / village mind that evolved for forests, firesides, weaving circles, and communal life. Drawing on nervous system science, evolutionary perspectives, and gentle earth-based practices, we’ll remember how our ancestors used wide, sensitive attention for important survival skills: tracking, listening, storytelling, weaving, tending children, and tending the land. We’ll then ask: What does it mean to carry this kind of mind now, in a world of screens, deadlines, and constant noise? This is...

  This workshop centers on the traditional practice of hand-dipping beeswax candles. A slow, rhythmic process that has long been part of hearth life and seasonal preparation. Working with warm beeswax and cotton wicks, we’ll build candles layer by layer.

We’ll explore the role of the sacred feminine in the home through practical gestures and shaping spaces that support family health and well-being. Participants will leave with their own hand-dipped beeswax candles and a grounded understanding of how this simple craft can support a healthier,...
