Nourish. Connect. Belong.
“People heal by telling the story - the whole story.” Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Come home to yourself. Rest easily in your own skin. Collect all your scattered parts and come to know yourself better. Through women’s circles, kitchen table workshops and tutoring, I offer support to find the answers within and around you together. Whether you seek your own wisdom, or simply a safe space to explore, I'm here to accompany you on your path.
We live in ways which have tamed or banished connection to the wild within and around us. Women’s wisdom circles, workshops and gatherings are invitations to reconnect with the natural cycles of our lives, connect to nature’s cycles, and honour the rites of passage at each stage of womanhood.
Kitchen table workshops rekindle this knowledge along with stoking our creative fires in the heart of the home - the kitchen. The kitchen is a central place of creativity, connection, nourishment, of storytelling and deep listening to understand. It’s where stories are shared in living together, where girls and women learn their lineage, where hursts are shared and support is given. In my home or yours, we cover creativity or any aspects of women’s wisdom you’d like to explore, with you and your invited friends / family.
And in tutoring sessions, we work on building confidence and skills to deepening your understanding in reading, articulate your unique perspectives in writing, speaking and presenting.
A bit about me: I’ve been an educator, faciliator and seeker of authentic ways of being for most of my life. Nature revives me, grounds me and offers me abundant lessons when I slow down and listen. After my formal education (Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Literature, Drama, French and Music, and my Grad. Dip in Education, I sought further education in the Hatha yoga tradition (Shanti Gowans), informed by Co-Counselling methods (Shayla Mallick) and in Shamanic Womancraft (the School of Shamanic Womancraft and the teachings of Jane Hardwicke Collings). I have a seasoned understanding of the transformative power of self-discovery / recovery, finding purpose, and finding your voice.
