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...

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. Cordage is accessible even to those who would not consider themselves artists or crafty- our hands can hold the memory. In this informal circle, folks are welcome to drop in and try their hands at this ancient technique or to continue with the cordage they have already begun. Just like an old fashioned quilting circle, it is an opportunity to sit with others- share, reflect, ask questions and to explore the process and form. Come away with an understanding of how to turn the materials in your life into beautiful and useful lengths of...

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...
