Fear is a primal experience that can cause us to become frozen in terror or sweep us into a rushing current of panic. At times, fear is caution that should be heeded; other times, fear is a sign to swim deeper, further, into the heart of what scares us most.

What could be possible for you in the coming Spring if you practiced flowing with your deepest fears this Winter?

It takes discernment to understand which habits, relationships, situations, and paradigms are ready to fall away like the Autumn leaves, and this is what we'll be covering in this seasonal class.

Once you know how to do it, visioning can be an incredibly helpful tool in understanding your inner world, receiving guidance from your wise and well ancestors, and more. 

In this gathering, I'm going to share what I've learned about what it means to actually live seasonally and why it's deeper than cute decor or special recipes (although those are lots of fun, too). 

We invite you to Listening to the Land: Oak Island. This is a free, monthly gathering on the third Saturday of each month. It will likely be quite informal and emergent. We envision a time to say hello and make offerings to the land, some individual listening, and coming together in circle to share what we've heard.

The first harvest coincides with the halfway point between the Summer Solstice and Autumn Equinox and is an apt time to gather the fruits of our learning. To aid you in making medicine from the Summer of Support, we'll go through each of the four areas we've covered and work with them more deeply.

When we know how to give ourselves meaningful ritual, we’re able to notice the changes that happen naturally and we also have the agency by which to transform in the ways we need to.

Capitalist culture maligns, appropriates, and commodifies our gifts, but what if we re-created a society in which gifts were welcomed and nurtured, from birth to elderhood? In this late Spring class, we'll be envisioning other ways we could relate to ourselves and one another.

Your gifts are here for you to enjoy. They are your inner Nature, which means they are regenerative: they aren't things that should feel draining, toxic, or like a burden.

If you work for yourself and care about showing up in a grounded, reciprocal way in your business, join us for this Anti-capitalist Small Business Circle.

This gathering is a lightly structured retreat created by and for practitioners who work with the Earth. We welcome space-holders, facilitators, and land/Earth-based practitioners of all kinds.

In a dominant culture with values that are antithetical to Life, we're not given guidance about what our gifts are or how to offer them to the village, so we have to look to the natural world as our guide instead.

In this workshop series, you’ll learn about the true story of capitalism’s emergence and how it has always been met with courageous resistance. Our wild natures know that having to exchange your life force for a wage so that you can buy what you need to live is wrong.

With just a bit of guidance and reflection, you can attune to where you are in your own cycle of growth and take action from a place of integrity and permission rather than obligation or urgency. 

As the lines between Winter and Spring blur, we’re wise to remember how to let these seeds grow naturally, on their own perfect timing, without overly attaching to what they will become or where they’ll lead.

In this seasonally-inspired workshop, we’ll make space to ask those questions and listen for an answer from the quiet depth of the Wintry land. I’ll share some ways that I stretch into new visions for myself at this time of year and how I’ve seen that lead to greater growth come Spring.

In my experience, the land is the wisest teacher of all, and the more-than-human beings who inhabit this Earth are eager to show us new perspectives, deeper levels of connection, and alternatives to our current ways of living.

If you’re someone with an ecological heart or an established land-connection practice, I would love to gather with you this Autumn.

The systems we live in are broken – oppressive structures that are based on linear progress and exploitation of resources (including our own energy) in order to keep up with the self-proclaimed "norm" of continuous growth.

Yet, when we look to our beautiful planet Earth and Nature, we have the best example of sustainability and regeneration right there:

Nature is cyclical, and as part of Nature, so are we!

What we yearn toward can be a guidepost to a deeper and more aligned way to live. Our yearnings (unlike the transitory desires capitalist culture sells us) can awaken us to our own lives, and to the world around us. 

So often, we are taught to ignore and stifle those yearnings.

In the ripening Summer, we will join together to honor and invite in our own and others’ yearnings. We will create time and space to pay special attention to what calls to and enlivens our spirit. 

This is the 3rd of four land-based workshops in our series, Rise Up Rooted.

This Summer Solstice workshop is a chance for you to widen the possibilities available to you, clarify your focus, and step into the bright river of your agency for the rest of 2024. 

In a capitalistic culture like ours, we were taught from a young age that our talents are only valuable if they lead to an income. Many of us grew up not knowing what our gifts were, or being taught to forget the fact that we had any.

Every organism in an ecosystem has an important role to fill, and that is true for you as well. You have unique perspectives, talents, and desires that want to be cultivated–regardless of whether or not they’re connected to how you earn money.

This is the 2nd in our four-part workshop series, Rise Up Rooted.

One of the many things we are robbed of in a culture devoid of an intact, land-based ritual practice is a deeply rooted sense of welcome. 

We each carry birth stories that may or may not have included a hearty “Welcome!” from the community we were born into.

Join us for the first workshop in our four-part series, Rise Up Rooted.
