Earth Altar The Creative Medicine Path

Sacred arts are a portal

An invitation to shape the invisible into form. In these offerings, we work with our hands, hearts, and stories to create objects of meaning and beauty. Whether it’s through weaving, felting, clay, or natural fibers, each creation becomes a mirror of something deeper: a prayer, a memory, a dream.

These workshops are not just about making things—they are about becoming through the making. With intention, intuition, and reverence, we remember how to shape the sacred.

Sacred Arts & Ritual Craft

  • Awaken the Ritual

    In this first step, we listen. Through guided reflection and intuitive inquiry, we begin to clarify what wants to be honored—whether it’s a threshold, a healing, a celebration, or a creative reawakening. This is where expression meets meaning, and intention begins to take form.

  • Create with Intention

    Through sacred arts workshops and guided sessions, we craft with meaning—using natural materials, ancestral techniques, and timeless tools like song, storytelling, and symbolic gesture. These practices awaken intuition, invite creative self-expression, and honor the unseen.

  • Life as Ceremony

    Your ritual doesn’t end at creation—it lives within you. Together, we explore how to integrate your sacred art into daily or seasonal rhythms, offering tools to ground, honor, and grow your practice long after the altar is built. This is the slow art of remembering—that your life is worthy of devotion.

Workshops

Each workshop is a ceremonial container—woven with myth, song, story, and the sacred act of making. I draw from ancestral practices and expressive arts traditions to guide participants through symbolic, hands-on experiences using fiber, clay, gourds, and natural materials. Together, we explore personal and collective transformation through gentle prompts, witnessing circles, and creative rituals rooted in deep listening. Whether we're crafting Spirit Dolls, Storycloths, or Earth Altars, the work invites you to engage the symbolic, tend your thresholds, and honor your becoming. This is where art meets soul, and the process becomes the medicine.

In these sessions, participants are invited to design and embody personal ceremonies, channel symbolic acts, and step into archetypal expression through movement, sound, and presence. Whether through solo performance, group witnessing, or intuitive unfolding, these offerings create space for participants to be seen, held, and transformed in ritual form. The process becomes a sacred mirror—reflecting the soul’s story as it is spoken, danced, or breathed into being.
