Beginning March 20th, we will gather together monthly on this Inner Knowing: Body~Earth~Soul Journey. Because we know...when women weave together in conscious, respectful community- cultivating deep rooted relationship with our Bodies, Earth and our Souls - the flame of our Inner Knowing grows steady and we embody our truth and gifts in the world. These times and our earth need this from us.
Inner Knowing is a process. We are born to KNOW by perceiving through body, heart, mind, imagination & intuition; through deep listening to our Earth and people, to that which is visible and the invisible connections between things.
Come gather in these heart-breaking and heart-opening times for our Earth and people. You who know it is both our responsibility and privilege to live and serve, rooted in our Inner Knowing and wholeness. On behalf of ourselves, our families and loved ones, our communities, and for our Earth.

This Body-Earth-Soul Journey Might Be for You if…
- You want to know yourself, cultivate your Inner Knowing, and be more fully and wholly known within an intentional community of women.
- You long to be (even more) at home and alive in your body, expressing/moving freely, every day of your life.
- You desire to cultivate an (even more) embodied connection with wild nature, to feel, move and serve in intimate relatedness with Earth.
- You are willing to stretch beyond limiting storylines and ways of being, to clear what’s in the way and open into the largest story you can live, alongside other courageous and dedicated women doing the same.
- Something within you is lying dormant, waiting to /really/ live and you are willing to breathe life into it. You may not know ‘what’ but you know it is time.
- You are willing and able to carve out time and hold yourself accountable to a 9-month supported gestation of what is ready to be lived, in and through you. No more waiting…

You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves...

Body-Earth-Soul Practices:
- Our Knowing arises through our bodies. We will wake up the sensibilities and capacities of our human animal bodies through dance/movement and embodiment practices, listening for the stories and wisdom that our bodies hold. We will engage in TruthTelling , a contemporary form of embodied council created by and for women.
- Our Knowing arises through intimacy with Earth. We will regularly bring our bodies onto the land, on our own and together, in full-bodied and consciousness deepening wandering practices. We’ll bring our voices and hearts into intimate communion with the other-than-human beings, cycles and rhythms of Earth.
- Our Knowing arises through the Wild Imaginal Wellspring. We’ll burrow beneath the surface of what is simply rational or "makes sense", beyond familiar & limiting storylines, to reconnect our umbilicus to the wild imaginal wellspring whose native tongue is image, story & poetry, symbol & pattern, dream, prayer, music, song and rhythm. We will engage deep imagination practices and mythic perspectives that allow us to gather and embody threads of our soul stories or larger stories.
