Poetry As Prayer
MAY WORDS BE OUR WELLNESS, OUR WISDOM, & OUR WONDER
"To write poetry is to be alive."- Rainer Maria RilkeStrangely, wonderfully, when we use poetry as a tool for wellness, spiritual exploration, or healing, we find ourselves using words to explain, transmute, and experience all that is beyond words.
In small group sessions, we will connect with our etheric kin, as well as our wise, well, and creative mythological ancestors, and we will explore the world of poetry together. Partnering with words and spirit, we will undertake guided journeys, writing prompts, discussion and plenty of space for sharing and reflection will be offered at this wee, mossy, digital space.
“In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: it goes on.” - Robert Frost

Wisdom of the goddesses dark
BLESSED BE THE WOMEN FIERCE
Do you hear them calling? Sometimes whispering, sometimes screeching, waking you from your walking dreams, and demanding you heed their call?
We will connect with the Cailleach, Beira, The Morrigan and Na Morrigna, Macha, Badb, Nemain, Medb, and the Sheela-Na-Gig. We will make our offerings, slowly and with great intention, stripping ourselves of anything that is not clear, just, and true, and then together we might witness the magnificent, powerful, and transformational wisdom these exquisite, wild, and oft forgotten goddesses have to share.
May we be deemed worthy of their gaze.
Who better to shepherd us through these times than those who thrive in the dark?

TO LIVE A STORIED LIFE
OPEN THE PARTS OF YOU THAT THIRST FOR LEGEND
A time for relaxation, rest, and receiving.
Pour something warm, settle in, and open the parts of yourself ready to receive nourishing story.
Stories shared are from our Celtic heritage, folktales, myths, and legends shared by a mystic, an oracular storyteller, who partners with the etheric to transmit the beauty, wonder, healing, and insight offered by our mythic kin.
You are invited into a living space to experience and explore your emotional and spiritual self, deepen your connection with others, and find a greater sense of belonging and community.

Temple of the Bear Mothers
ELDER WISDOM, ANCIENT GUIDANCE
Bear wisdom has been heeded for thousands of years across the indigenous cultures of the northern-hemisphere. In the Celtic traditions, bear has many associations, from King Arthur to Beowolf and the bear gods of old.
What if the bear mothers and grandmothers are calling us to reconnect with them, individually and collectively? Might we heed their call today?
Together let’s discover what the bear mothers might have to teach us about the human walk at this time.
How might we deepen our relationship with this mighty, wise, and venerated guide?

UNRAVELING THE CURSES OF CONTROL
THE AGE OF HARM MUST END
A communal healing offering for advanced practitioners only.
As we witness the fall of the last age, let us come together to unravel the curses of control that have bound humanity in an endless repetition of destructive, cruel, and vicious cycles.
Together, let us pool our power and usher in the dawn of the new age of human potential, planetary partnership, and compassionate evolution.
Together, joined by all that is divine and true, let us offer endless waterfalls of blessing to all who we share this world with.TRANSMUTING THE NARRATIVES THAT DIVIDE & HARM
“We see quite clearly that what happens to the nonhuman happens to the human.
What happens to the outer world happens to the inner world.
If the outer world is diminished in its grandeur then the emotional, imaginative, intellectual, and spiritual life of the human is diminished or extinguished.
Without the soaring birds, the great forests, the sounds and coloration of the insects, the free-flowing streams, the flowering fields, the sight of the clouds by day and the stars at night, we become impoverished in all that makes us human.”
— Thomas Berry
