Spiritweavers

Humans have been making cordage for at least fifty thousand years. It has helped us to shape our world and to thrive in it. We twist fibers to create strength, length and beauty. It is indigenous to all cultures; as is the impulse to adorn ourselves. The process is simple and repetitive in a way that leaves room for conversation, laughter, and contemplation. What becomes available when physically exploring the metaphors of adornment and transformation with our hands? This is an opportunity to reflect, connect, share as our hands find the rhythm while making a necklace adornment. We will use worn fabrics to learn this ancient technique and create beauty from that which would otherwise be discarded. Folks will come away with an understanding of how to...

Fire is the life force of us all :: the Sun we revolve around, the hearth at the center of our homes, the lava core of our Earth, and the energy feeding all life on this planet. This being transforms and catalyzes life, story, and ritual. They are a profound spiritual teacher and source for endless lessons and growth. In this class you will learn how to build and sustain a fire from the landscape :: gathering wood, building a fire structure, and practicing both the bow drill and hand drill methods of friction fire. Through patient courtship and curiosity, we can call on the solar energy stored in our bodies and the bones of plant beings to create a flame and deepen our connection to...

Our voices and songs are deeply personal— and it is with good reason many of us have learned to hold them close. Still, many of us long for the freedom to share with ease— to let our songs and voices breath and grow. The limiting beliefs that have taught us to hide, live in our bodies. In this workshop, we will utilize practices inspired by somatic healing modalities such as Hakomi and IFS— to explore the body and our voices. We will work with our own internal barriers and beliefs to develop greater awareness, courage and freedom. Open to all regardless of self-identification as a musician, songwriter or artist. This work can be applied to any form of expressive freedom. Please note the workshop is focused on active...

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....
