This is happening in Camrose and I love to see it! A beautiful program for boys 8-12yrs old, learning such important skills and self reflection🙏🏼 🐎
Changing Ways is offering "Horse Sense" an equine-assisted learning workshop for boys ages 8–12 on May 1st. 🐎
The session uses horses to help boys build awareness of their body language and choices, while exploring respect, problem-solving, confidence, and empathy.
Spots are limited to 12, so early registration is encouraged!
I keep the anger and outrage to direct my purpose, while also... I won't allow this world to break my soul.
So I go to the winds and the air and the sun and the trees... I watch the song birds and the crows, I listen to the Ravens talk to me and each other...
I push my toes into the dirt and feel the heat of fire on my skin and the scent of wood smoke surround me...
This is one of the ways I clear and cleanse and nourish my Soul in a world that sometimes feels completely soaked in pain.
What do you do?

Birth/life, decent, death, and rebirth/rise is a rhythm found in many, many mythologies, cultural stories, and the resulting ceremonies and rituals for observing, understanding, growing, and healing.
Much older than the story with Jesus. His is one of the many, and certainly not the only, valid stories of how we
understand the natural rhythms of transformation.
Trans and Q***r folks -We've always been here. And we always will. Q***r and Trans divinity has always been a part of human collective stories of the Gods.
The only thing 'new' is the hate.
A favourite:
"The Healing Stones of Kapaemahu tells the story of four māhū - individuals of dual male and female mind, heart, and spirit - who long ago brought healing arts from Tahiti to Hawaiʻi. Before they left, they used special dual male-female kiʻi to transfer their powers to four large boulders that the people brought to Waikiki. These stones still exist on Waikiki Beach and may be the only monument in the world to honor and uplift gender fluidity"
LGBTQ themes in mythology occur in mythologies and religious narratives that include stories of romantic affection or s*xuality between figures of the same s*x or that feature divine actions that result in changes in gender. These myths are considered by some modern q***r scholars to be forms of les...

It's important that we intentionally learn what these terms actually mean, and not the reductionist and/ incorrect way they have been applied in social media sound bites.
Introducing the newest course from Haven's Healing School!
⭕️ Circle, by Haven
Have you felt the longing to be able to call in sacred space and create sacred connection?
Perhaps you've sat in Circles that felt brave and safe and nourishing, and thought "I want to do this, too". Perhaps you have witnessed the discord of meetings and classes and groups that are called in a different way, having lost the ancient protocols and magic of Circling, and thought "there has to be a better way"...
Or maybe just simply, there is an ancient knowing deep inside your soul that longs to be a part of Shifting your current community's way of connecting into something healing, growing, nurturing, and sustainable.
No matter what has brought you here, if you feel that soul yearning to learn the ways of Circling in Sacred Community, this course is for you.
Use it to create a women's / girl's circle with your kin and kindred; or perhaps to build and connect with your communities; or add it to how you create healing and wellness and peacemaking in your spaces.
Circling is our Ancestral gift to Sacred Connection and Council.

The Equinox arrives and I am deep into memory of my time at Loughcrew cairns...
Of all the places I walked in 2011 when I went on my solo pilgrimage to the land of my Ancestors... Loughcrew felt the most wild
The most elemental
The most between and thin...
I wasn't there on the Equinox, as I went for my 33rd birthday around Bealtaine... I can imagine the increase in potency to be there at the time on the Wheel that this chamber is aligned to...
Over 5000 years, this monument has marked the sunrise at the time of balance on our Earth. The sun breaks over the horizon and slowly enters through a small opening into the hill, making its wandering way through the passage to eventually illuminate the chamber and the back wall carving stone.
5000 years....
This was our first language.
Art. Symbol. Ritual. Ceremony. Deep connection to the Earth, the Heavens, and the Underworld.
We need to return to what our Ancestors knew so very, very long ago.
We ARE nature. We ARE earth. We ARE sacred.
Hands on tools.
Bodies in motion and stillness.
Senses engaged.
Relational intimacy with all spirits.
Today, as we are given our moment of balance between light and dark - what is calling you back to your Ancestral wisdom?
May we Remember.
And mark the Return.
The Wheel turns. Blessed Equinox to you all 🙏✨

Woman Rewilding
~The Way of the Great Fire Mare & the Return of Matriarchy
Rewilding as Restoring. Repairing. Renaturalizing.
Reestablishing. Rejoining - The Herd. The Council. The Community.
The potency of women leading. ReWorlding.
The matrilineal and matriarchal ethic.
Under the current systems, we are programmed to live in survival. To compete with each other for resources.
To be distrustful of others and keep our walls up.
Under the current system, we are disempowered and are harmed.
We harm each other.
Some of the deepest cuts we experience are from other women who have internalized the system of dominance and exploitation.
Sisters. We need to grieve this truth. And we need to feel the righteous rage of being placed into a system that creates it.
We need to heal the wounds we carry AND the program inside that we didn't ask for, so we can begin to do the work that the world is desperately crying for.
Re-wilding. Restoring the systems centered around care.
Re-worlding. Finding which roles in the herd that sing to our souls. What part of the return to matriarchy we can take up as our own, to weave together a new story.
A new world.
Not a reverse of what we have, - no. Matriarchy is not hierarchal and never has been. It is circular.
✨Systems of collaboration and council. Systems of care. ✨Systems centering the vulnerable.
✨Systems of leadership, not domination.
When the lead mare moves, the whole herd moves with her. They look to her wisdom to guide them. They trust she will lead them to safety, not dominate and exploit them. The mares, and the stallion at the back, protect the young. The vulnerable.
We will call upon the Great Mare to lead us in this immersive healing work.
Grief.
Rage.
Reflection.
Facing Shadow.
Finding forgiveness.
Receiving love.
Taking our place in the Herd.
This is Her year. The Fire Mare comes every 60 years and with Her, great change, great movements.
