10am - 4pm

Boulder, Colorado

At this time of the year where the veil is thin during Samhain, Halloween, Dia de los Muertos, and other rituals, we gather together to weave and craft sacred baskets as a way to commune with, celebrate and feed our friends and relatives in the other world.

This will be a sweet and nourishing creative ritual adventure with plenty of breaks, wildcrafted tea and yummy snacks provided. Singing, stories and all around fun are also likely to be had!


In order for each person to can get hands on support and guidance, this workshop is only open to 10 folks so please register ahead of time to secure your spot! 


I'm offering this workshop on sliding scale from $110-$125. The sliding scale is intended to make this offering more accessible to all, and appropriately respond to the wide range of access to financial resources within our community. Please pay what you can reasonably afford knowing that your willingness to do so makes it possible for others to attend. For those in abundance, there is an option to offer more if you are able and would like to be able to pay it forward.


If this sounds like fun, please sign up below!  We'd LOVE to weave with you!


 

Your Guide:

Mandy Bishop is a ritual artist, medicine maker, nature-based guide and mentor. She’s a farmer, sister, daughter, teacher, storyteller and perpetual student of these ancient ways and ancestral lifeways.  She’s a seeker, a lover of life, a dancer and a ceremonialist.  Born on the front range of Colorado (lands of the Arapaho, Cheyenne and Ute peoples), she is deeply connected to the mountains and the wild places, and when not tending her garden might be found foraging food, wildcrafting medicines or making art.

She’s also the founder of Old Ways Wisdom—a place to bridge the gap of disconnect in these wild times by rekindling the old ways and fostering relationship with the land, our bodies, and the ancient wisdom in our bones through deep story work and ancestral skills. Mandy is in service to the remembrance of our wild selves; to a partnership between nature, creativity and soul; and to the wisdom carried in our bones waking us up to what is most important in our lives. And she loves more than anything to share in these old ways and wisdom with you!
