What wisdom could the Earth show you if you slowed down long enough to listen? ✨

I am so honored to be a part of the Beauty Way Woman Immersion alongside my friends and teachers, Song Carrier Madi Sato of Praising Earth and Diné Elder Dr. Alta Piechowski.

Nestled beside a flowing river beneath the forest canopy of the Santa Fe mountains, this 3-night, 4-day immersion invites women into a wholehearted return to nature, voice, and embodied presence. Through song, movement, council, deep listening, solo time on the land, and sacred ceremony, we gently step away from the demands of everyday life and into the living rhythms of the Earth.

If your heart has been longing for spaciousness, authentic sisterhood, and a deeper relationship with the natural world, we would be honored to welcome you.

Join us for a day of intentional making, ritual, and creative reflection as we handbuild personal clay altars and craft natural herbal cone incense. ✨

These altars become vessels of remembrance, intention, prayer, and connection. A space to honor a transition, hold what matters most, or simply slow down and listen more deeply to yourself.

No experience is needed. Just a willingness to create, explore, and embrace your inner artist alongside other women in a warm and nourishing space.

What will your altar serve as? 🔥

So grateful to have gathered with 23 women for another Medicine Doll Ceremony & Workshop.

Held over the Total Lunar Eclipse Blood Moon, this threshold invited us to release perfectionism and soften into a more authentic way of being, where vulnerability could be met with community and care.

Each woman showed up humbly and tapped into the medicine that was ready to meet them.

I am honored to carry this work and gently shepherd practices that help reignite and reminder others of the inherent creativity we all carry. To witness this awakening and transformation in others is so healing and inspiring.

I’ll be offering this practice during the Moon Session at the this summer in Cave Junction, OR, and again at the Restoration Room in July.

What message is your medicine doll waiting to share with you?
