Our skin is the largest sensory organ and drinks in everything we put on it. It's time to nourish, heal and brighten your facial skin with an all natural facial regimen using ingredients 'straight from the kitchen'. This facial regimen has supported Tamu with healthy glowing skin through the hormonal shifts of menstruation, motherhood and menopause. Her 3 children even found it helpful as they navigated their changing skin through puberty. During this class we will mix up a cleansing, nourishing, brightening face mask powder. We will then be guided through a supremely nourishing, all natural full facial regimen that includes a cleanser, mask, toner and moisturizer. Each participant will leave with a face mask recipe, knowledge of a full facial regime to support vibrant skin and a jar...

In this workshop, we will explore the history of tattooing, as well as piercing and other adornment practices from around the globe. Body modification has been, and still is, a prominent part of almost every indigenous culture. We will talk about different methods of tattooing & piercing, materials used, ceremonies, symbols, patterns, and revivals. My goal is to help folx reconnect with their ancestral roots through body adornment and deepen their understanding of tattoo, not as a trend, but as an ancient and sacred practice. I hope that people walk away from this workshop more knowledgeable about the tattoo traditions of their people and hopefully rekindle a connection to those who came before us. Nicolette Torres will be hosting the workshop 'Tattoo Traditions Around the World'...

We will be showing you how to identify if the uterus is out of alignment and how to gently bring it back into alignment. The uterus is our body's internal compass, returning the uterus to its natural position can not only bring relief from painful menses, but can...

  The Wild Rebirth of Living Language introduces a framework for re-imagining our world through the power of our words. Through mindfulness and embodiment practices, writing exercises, nuanced discussions, and grounded ritual we will examine the ways structural domination, oppression, and dichotomy are woven into our identities and relationships. We will cultivate more honest self-knowing, generous empowerment, intentional betrayal of false belonging, and collective liberation, as we practice towards a grammar of healing and interconnectedness. Part etymological geekery, part compassionate inquiry, part liberatory anti-establishment dreamscaping, part co-created emergent ritual, this class is a cauldron of transfiguration guided by wonder. Can we turn a weapon of destruction into a tool of co-creation? Niema Lightseed will be teaching The Wild Rebirth of Living Language...

This class will focus on 3 main areas of technical wilderness skills: navigation, shelters, and first aid. It will be a collaborative space where our community can learn skills that allow us to explore wild spaces and bring us closer to our ancestors and earth relations.

Come explore, wander, and learn to read stories written on this landscape by our animal neighbors. During these half day classes we will learn the fundamentals of wildlife tracking, pattern literacy, sensory awareness, and how these skills intersect with land tending and regenerative wild practices. As we delve deeply into the historical ecology and current natural history of this place, we will see how land, water and weather influence and inform animal behavior and the tracks they leave behind. Though all classes are designed for experienced and beginner skill sets, each class will build on prior classes as our story of place becomes richer and more nuanced. Classes are designed so that students leave Spirit Weavers with skills they can apply in their own homes and...
