RITUAL ARTISTRY IN COMMUNITY
Creating intentional sacred space to experience nature-based ceremony
Mama Circles
Ritual portals of self-care to support the motherhood journey through the childbearing and childhood years.
Tending our roots to navigate the joys and challenges of parenting
The rites of passage into motherhood dramatically shifts our identities and affects so many facets of life. Yet, this can be a unique and powerful opportunity of self-discovery if we take the time to honour, deepen, and connect to the depths of this life transition.
In these offerings, we will create a carefully-woven container, to come together and explore the motherhood transition through:
- shared inquiry
- nature-based contemplative practices & rituals
- soulful poetry & story
- ceremony
- take-home invitations to apprentice to our wild allies
This approach is based in part on Bill Plotkin’s inner-wilderness work, combined with my celebrant training specializing in rites of passage, life transitions, story-tracking, and ceremony. This approach is not therapy, but rather provides a ritual framework and practices to tend our inner resources for greater resilience and authenticity.
At the heart of this all – the breath and blood of this offering – is my own personal journey as a mother and the inquiries I hold everyday as I wake up to ever-deepening layers of what it means to be a mother in today’s world, here and now. And how when we come together – with each of our stories and experiences – we weave the broadest tapestry of possibilities. Contact me to register!

In this day and age, we are being called to step into ritual artisanship.
We need to reinvent ritual, build our ritual muscle and deepen our ritual roots to empower ourselves through change.
Through the crafting of a ceremonial container in which we can experience ritual, contemplative practices, shared inquiry and storytelling, let me introduce the art and craft of nature-based ritual to your community.
