"We must confuse our ideas of the solitary self. ~ Tie our roots to other roots. ~ Drop below human exceptionalism into the underworld of symbiotic co-creation." as Sophie Strand says.

Join us for the fourth of 4 Story Councils where we gather to lean in to story, myth and the council of all beings.

~ ~ ~

Each week, we’ll

~ Share a different story telling inspired by the works of many, Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Martin Shaw, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Sharon Blackie and others.

~ Co-create a council and safe container with gratitude and story catching (deep listening) practice.

~ Bring our trouble to the story and unearth its medicine.

~ Reflect and deepen through sharing and the art of questioning.

~ Receive missions to take home.

This is for you if you are:

Curious about the intersections of myth, ecology, and inner personal work

Yearning for a community practice

Wanting to deepen your skills in inner tracking and intuition

Know deep in your bones that we are part of a larger story of becoming

Are feeling the downward pull into the liminal, dark earth times, composting, and

council of the more-than-human

*Would like to support me with this pilot project, joining at a lower, sliding-scale cost in exchange for your feed back and a chance to grow a deeply nutritious workshop series.

*** Coyote Get’s Hitched ***

A tale about love and gifts! And so much more….

My invitation to you is to step into council with each other, with the more than humans, and with the curious generosity of very old tales.

“They are safety for hard times, the embryo of survival.”

Robin Wall Kimmerer, The Council of Pecans

What if like seeds, stories hold the ‘fat of the land’ needed to survive the hard times?

“Traditionally, The elders would speak in stories. ‘Story’ also means storehouse and what can be found in stories is what keeps being lost and forgotten in the daily world. Sometimes a little story can open up an uncommon way of seeing a path forward that otherwise would remain hidden to simple observation or common sense.” Michael Meade, Why the World Doesn’t End

Join us around the virtual fire on Zoom this Wednesday for a new seed offering of mine ~ Can't wait to share this time with you.
