Only a couple spaces left in this one-of-a-kind immersive….do you hear the call?

There comes a time in a woman’s journey when, no matter how much “work” she has done, she is called to let go so she can step into a deeper way, a deeper wisdom, and a deeper truth.

Within the time of perimenopause/menopause comes profound change, opening, and unraveling. With our Wise Woman ways of knowing stifled, our rites and Elders unseen, many of us fall into patterns of personalizing, resisting, or pathologizing this time of unraveling.

Yet it is in the unraveling that the power lies and the sacred journey begins…..

The journey that can bring us into the depths we and the world hunger for and are being called into….

This is why Tracey Forest and I crafted Root and Bone. It’s a transformative, immersive experience that provides women with the container and community needed to embark on this initiatory journey and travel this rich terrain.

Into the rooted, authentic Wise Woman or Elder you have become and Into the medicine and ways needed as we lift Earth-based, soulcentric, thriving culture.

As the college and back-to-school posts circulate, giving a deep bow to those following a less seen/known but vital trail - all the ways our young kin are taking risks and leaps due to passion or necessity.

May you feel honored and celebrated on your Way! May you feel held by much and many and know that you are an integral part of the Web.

May we hold and guide you in ways that allow you to fully thrive - ways that support you as you hone the skills and precious gifts you carry that are fundamental for our Way forward together.

We see you, believe in you, and remember how to hold the Way with you.

May it be SO!

Calling in the women who hear the undeniable call to finally and fully step into your fullness, truth, and medicine as a Wise Woman.

This immersive is a unique weaving of personal/group nature-based depth work, honing your midlife medicine and a communal rite of passage—a container to relinquish masks, old roles, harvest your life wisdom, and fortify your soul gifts in the sacred and potent perimenopause through postmenopause life stages (Wise Woman life cycles).

Join a powerful group of women on this one-of-a-kind journey.

We are the Ones.

Thank you, Tom. 38 years ago the trail picked up and continues on. I don’t keep stuff around, but these notebooks from ‘88-92 are filled with experiences that are threaded and woven deep in me.

Would you love an opportunity to deepen your work/skills and apprentice (tuition-free) with skilled guides?

Tracey Forestand I are excited to offer this incredible opportunity to those who might hear the call -

Sisterhood Apprenticeships for

Root and Bone: ReWeaving the Wise Women
A Nine-month Immersion

Looking for two women who have not yet entered the Wise Woman life cycle (perimenopause and beyond) and would like to be in support of this dynamic immersive. We are inviting those who feel the call to step more into their own leadership as holders of sacred spaces or who are already guiding their own programs. *Applicants need to have been in group/retreat or personal containers with one or both of us and able to commit to all 9 weekends.

We see this as an opportunity to apprentice with seasoned guides, to hone your skills, and to deepen your medicine and capacity. This apprenticeship will include physical support/tending, crafting spaces, holding/tending space for the participants (we expect a group of up to 18 participants). This is for those who feel well-resourced and are seeking a deeper dive.

You will receive support from Tish/MotherBone and Tracey/KeyTurner around creating strong containers, gorgeous spaces, and learning hands-on skills like conducting council, leading ritual and ceremony, guiding deep imagery work, shadow and story work tools, mirroring and assisting people in their wholing and self healing to name a few.

This is a unique opportunity to be supported as you apprentice your medicine, feel into/see the Wise Woman life cycle up close and step more fully into what is calling you in your own sacred work. Apprenticing is tuition free.

We both left Forest and Village with such a fire for the importance of cross-pollination among different stages of the woman’s journey and how we weave together. And we’d love to continue!

Check out our website to see if you feel the pull and the juice.

What a precious gift you are. ❤️

“Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star

Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like when you’re older must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams

And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
And they tell him take your time it won’t be long now
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down

And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There’ll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through.”
-Joni Mitchell

Starting in October! Registration coming soon…

My dear sister and seasoned guide Tracey Forest and I have been dreaming this one-of-a-kind 9-month journey forward and are thrilled to begin calling women in.

Root and Bone: Reweaving the Wise Women

This nine-month journey is for women in the perimenopause through postmenopause years who hear the undeniable call to finally and fully step into your fullness, truth, and medicine as a Wise Woman.

This immersive is a unique weaving of personal/group nature-based depth work, honing your midlife medicine and a communal rite of passage—a container to relinquish masks, old roles, harvest your life wisdom and fortify your soul gifts in the sacred and potent perimenopause through postmenopause life stages (Wise Woman life cycles).

As we know, with the loss of the wild mature feminine and our rites of passage, the Wise Women are missing. This is inside-out work to repair, retrieve, and bring this vital medicine into our relationships, communities, and the collective.

If you're interested in learning more about this transformative journey, DM me

“Finally on my way to yes
I bump into
all the places
where I said no
to my life
all the untended wounds
the red and purple scars
those hieroglyphs of pain
carved into my skin, my bones,
those coded messages
that send me down
the wrong street
again and again
where I find them
the old wounds
the old misdirections
and I lift them
one by one
close to my heart
and I say
holy holy”
