“Oh woman
remember who you are
woman
it is the whole Earth”
Full sun. Opening to the sky. Birdsong and scent of rose at dawn. The poppies sway and hummingbirds fly.
Facing South, we walk together as women, with our dreams gathered gently held with soft hands. We walk together as women to tell stories, to dance, to let the light in. We walk together as women to create and to make, to give thanks and give back.
The Medicine Wheel is an ancient way people from all different walks of life have mapped out time, seasons and phases of growth. It is a map of the four directions, each of which have special qualities. Each direction is associated with a color, a rhythm, a season, a time of day, a phase of a person’s life. Each are kept by different plant and animal allies. Each have messages for us and lessons to teach.
“Mandy’s skillful guidance and nurturing presence are unavoidably healing to be around. Through her eyes, the forests and stones speak clearly and truth emerges easily. She is a healer in every way, and I feel so grateful to have walked alongside her.”
Join in this circle of women as we turn to face the South direction in this season of fullness and gratitude. We’ll walk together listening to the land and our own wisdom. Through journeying, poetry, and making art with the land, we’ll find our way back to what’s important for us.
We’ll gather objects as we walk and make an earth altar—a gift of ourselves, our hands and our hearts to give back to the one who keeps us. Please bring seeds or dried flowers if you’d like to make an offering.
You can check out details below, and please register or let me know if you’d like to join us!
“We are the descendants of the wild women you forgot. We are the stories you thought would never be taught. They should have checked the ashes of the women they burned alive. Because it takes a single wild ember to bring a whole wildfire to life.”
