Witching Ways ~ Reviving Femme Folk Wisdom & Sensuous Power

As the present meets the past, there is a collective wound of the feminine we experience personally, intimately.

Yet go back far enough, we also inherit lineages of wise women healers – known and unknown. These witching ways are our blessings and birthright, an inextinguishable magic rooted in the body, earth, hearth, and wilds.

This workshop is an invitation to come home to yourself, your true voice,  your integral wholeness – together channeling timeless, unbroken sources of wisdom. We will share in a rhythm of singing, dancing, telling old stories, being in sacred circle and ritual, conjuring magic with the living beauty and elemental power of Hollyhock. Sipping healing brews, crafting with herbs, we commune with the forest, sea, soil and each other.

This is a space to soften into the body and open our wild expression. We will explore sensuousness, eros, and pleasure, tend to our grief and rage, drawing nearer our sources of vitality. Through rest, care, and dreamtime, we reconnect with the subtle language of intuition.

Uplifting the wisdom of the whole, the multiplicity of identities, voices of place, forces of life, seen & unseen, we will reweave lifeways of healing folk magic together.

Testimonials

Heather holds space so well. I feel so safe and held with her. I cherish it actually, it’s quite a rare gift.

Heather’s insight and compassion create a powerful container for profound exploration. In group settings and one-to-one, Heather has an exceptional ability to bring a spirit of lighthearted freedom and play to the serious business of inner and relational transformation. Her guidance has helped me to identify the stories that hold me back, access my innate wisdom, and move toward more joyous, unencumbered creative expression. If you’re seeking a guide on the path to deep personal and artistic growth, I can’t recommend Heather highly enough.

Heather’s deep holding and compassion for me to embody the truest expression of myself, that deep permission she offers is seeping into all aspects of my life. Working with Heather has been a reclamation of who I truly am and who we truly are as humans. Our time together is shaping who I am becoming not just in the aspect of singing but in the aspect of my wholeness as a mother, wife, daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin and friend. I am deeply thankful to you Heather, for all the powerful space that you hold for us to be able to shine and be heard from the truest place. Deep bows.
