The spirits of my ancestors did not manifest themselves in my soul bones to watch me become a convenient place for someone else’s feet.

As we enter this time when the veils between the worlds are thinnest, remember that real magic involves gaining mastery over yourself. Blessings to all this Samhain. ❤️

Before it became a Halloween costume, the pointed hat was a symbol of knowledge — a marker of those who walked between worlds.

In the old villages, the women who brewed, healed, and listened to the earth often covered their heads as a sign of respect for spirit. Their hats were tall and practical — keeping herbs dry, rain off their shoulders, and a sense of dignity in their craft.

Some say the pointed hat traces back to the cone-shaped headdresses worn by ancient priestesses and wise women — symbols of connection between heaven and earth. Others whisper that it echoes the duns and cairns, the sacred mounds that rose from the soil like earthen spires, marking places of power and burial.

Over time, these women — the midwives, the brewers, the herbalists — began to stand out. In marketplaces, they wore distinctive, tall hats so villagers could see them in the crowd and seek their remedies or wisdom. The hat became a sign of their trade, their skill, their presence.

But when the tides turned — when the church grew wary of women’s power and independence — that same symbol was twisted. The pointed hat, once a crown of knowing, became a mark of shame. The Wise Woman became the “witch,” and her visibility — the very thing that once connected her to her community — was recast as threat.

Yet the truth endures. The hat’s point still reaches upward, a symbol of spirit and intuition, while its wide brim shields and grounds. It is the meeting place of above and below — heaven and hearth, knowing and mystery.

So when you see the silhouette of a witch in her tall, dark hat beneath the October moon, remember what she really wears:
a crown of wisdom.
a marker of lineage.
a reminder that women’s knowing once stood tall — and will again.

What do you do to raise your vibration? Are your energies depleted, are you taking time for self-care? There are so many ways to recharge and let go of all that no longer serves you. I have my yoga practice, meditation, Reiki and getting out in nature. Remember you cannot pour from an empty vessel. You must first take care of yourself before you have enough energy to overflow to others. ✨

“A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.”

We believe in the power of community; the power of holding space and empowering one another; that by lifting someone else up, we also heal. We feel that small intentional groups foster the most meaningful interactions. We are small but we have great heart. Facilitating transformation, growth and healing on all levels is our passion. Through a synergy of gentle, trauma-informed yoga, energy clearings, meditation, sound healing, holistic lectures, natural therapies and yummy plant-based snacks, we will explore how we move through life, how we are aligned with our authentic selves and how we allow ourselves to release, accept and receive.

Life is beautiful, but at times it can be downright overwhelming. It is through the tough times that we sometimes lose ourselves. We forget who we are when we are succumbing to our pain. It doesn't matter if our pain is physical, emotional, mental or spiritual. Pain is pain. The good news is that you are not lost, you are simply buried under all that is weighing you down. This is a temporary state. I recognize that there is no set template to reach optimal health as it is a matter of finding individual balance. I am here to guide and support you as you work towards a healthier, more balanced life whether it is through a yoga & energy gathering, natural therapies or one of our transformational retreats.
