The EarthWise Way

Banner colored papers

Registration is Closed

The EarthWise Way is a place to find yourself through a connection to the Earth and the turning of the Wheel of the Year.  We journey within and nurture our souls. We use creative play to discover wisdom, growth, and inner sight. We travel together in a community guided by the rhythms and cycles of the seasons.

I invite you to The EarthWise Way 2023, a year for you where you will have an opportunity to choose self-care, self-expression, self-healing and self-love. Along the way you will meet yourself in new ways, find your own mythic language and sacred images through art making, altar building and inner journeys that stir the soul.

We begin at the spring equinox as the earth comes into balance. This powerful time of harmony between light and darkness offers inspiration, and new possibilities for discovering your own stories and connections to the Earth.

The EarthWise Way Experience

  • As you step into the EarthWise Way you will be met with opportunities to find your inner, authentic self through the never ending rhythmic cycles of the seasons, the healing and illuminating powers of art making, and the sense of belonging to part  of a sacred sisterhood of kindred spirits with like minded hearts. 
  • You will find a deep and powerful sense of connection to the divine in all things as you learn to engage with the mythic life and the inner flight of the soul as you travel inwardly to the spirit realms through guided journeys.
  • Each season on the Wheel of the Year helps to ground you in ancestral practices, myth, and wisdom, providing an antidote to the isolation and overwhelming pace of modern life. 
  • As you learn to re-enchant your life you begin to find your own stories, your own intuitive knowings, and the personal myth that helps chart the voyage of your soul through life. 
  • The EarthWise Way journey is a quest that calls you home to yourself and your connection to the earth.

You need a place to share your spiritual life, and your creativity.

I bring together women from all across the globe in an online community designed to help you embrace your creativity, connect with the earth, find your voice, heal, grow and express all of who you are.

Why the Earth Wise Way?

  • It's isolating when you don't know anyone else whose heart leaps at the thought of spending quiet time in nature or whose spirit lights up at the thought of creating art.
  • It’s discouraging when you’re awestruck by an ancient tree, feel deeply connected to the earth or have a totem animal and other people just give you blank stares or roll their eyes.
  • You love being creative, but always get the feeling that other people view “playing around” in an art journal as a waste of time. They don’t share your need for creative expression that nurtures your soul.
  • Your interested in your inner life. In healing and authenticity, but there’s not a single person you feel comfortable talking with about that.
  • Without a community to share your inner life with, you discount and diminish its value.
  • When you begin to question those parts of your truest self, you stop doing the very things that bring you joy and create a luminous life filled with wonder and magic.

Envision how your creative and intuitive life will transform when you're part of The EarthWise Way

  • It’s empowering to speak your truth. It’s affirming and reassuring to know that your deep interest in spiritual and creative ways of being, are also shared by other women.
  • Imagine the deep satisfaction of embracing your creativity and living an intuitive, authentic life, true to your core values.
  • It feels amazing to honor and use your gifts, insights, inner wisdom, and spiritual practice, in ways that translate into practical real world skills. Then you can create positive change, heal your stories, clarify your vision and live a richer, more expansive life filled with possibilities, confidence and joy.
  • That kind of empowered life begins when you have the sacred witness and companionship of others whose journey in life has called them to this kind of deep work too.
  • The most powerful way to reclaim your voice and water the inner garden of you soul is to find other women who share that same kind of deep inner life. I created the EarthWise Way online community after leading in person creative retreats for women for many years, because I saw how deep the need was.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tech stuff do I need? Expand

You need a device ( desktop computer MAC or PC, , laptop, tablet, smart-phone) with reliable internet connection, a reasonably recent browser (one to two years old), a webcam with audio is best but you can also use phone or computer audio. Most laptops, tablets and smart-phones have audio/video capability, but if you're using your desktop computer and don't have a webcam I recommend this inexpensive one Logitech Webcam  which simply plugs into your computer.  You also need to provide an email address as materials, information and reminders are sent via email.

What if I can't make the monthly video call on Zoom? Expand

No worries all the calls are recorded and you will get access to them so you can listen when it's convenient. Calls are scheduled at various times and days to accommodate different time zones. 

Do I need to be on Facebook? Expand

No, we will use a private online space, not Facebook.

Do I need to be an artist or know how to make art? Expand

No. You'll certainly learn a lot of art making techniques during the year but all you need to begin are old magazines or books, scissors, a glue stick and something to glue your images on. 

Do I have to sign up for the whole year? Expand

Yes. This type of deep, transformative work requires time to unfold and grow. Traveling together for a year provides a rich, nourishing experience and allows you to experience the flow of a yearly cycle in your inner work. Less time would diminish the process and leave you with a sense of incompletion.

How much time do I need to devote to The EarthWise Way every month? Expand

The EarthWise Way as a process touches all areas of your life. Busy times are met with simply an awareness and intention, and you don't need to feel pressured to create art, perhaps a relaxing bath with scented oils will be your art and ritual one week. Remember self care is sacred care. Your life journey will rise to meet you and everything in your life counts as part of your EarthWise Way journey.  This is about living real life with creativity and deep awareness of your inner life. Some months you may have time and spaciousness to create a lot, other months much less. There will always be creative techniques and choices available,  many that can be done in very short amounts of time, with little mess or fuss. The journey is yours and it's ebb and flow will always be the perfect amount for you at that moment.

Do I have to know how to do SoulCollage® or JourneyCircles™ Expand

No. If you already create with SoulCollage® that's a perfect modality to bring into the EarthWise Way with you. But if you don't even know what SoulCollage® is that's fine, there will be many other art modalities offered. I am a licensed JourneyCircles™ facilitator and I will offer  JourneyCircles™ process at various times in the year as something you might choose to use.

Do I need to have a lot of art supplies? Expand

No. You'll need old magazines, books and junk mail to gather images from. A scissor, and glue sticks are easy tools you'll need to start with.  I love up-cycling, so pizza or cake rounds, file folders, paper plates, scrap mat board or cardboard, old game boards work well as surfaces to hold art. Acrylic craft paint, and markers are fun to have. Make use of what you have or use inexpensive craft store supplies in the beginning.

Can I also do individual coaching while I'm in the EarthWise Way? Expand

Yes.  Coaching packages along with the EarthWise Way are a perfect way to have  more personalized support, accomplish deeper work and activate powerful growth and transformation. Bundling coaching with The EarthWise Way allows you to take advantage of special pricing and coaching packages.

Can I drop out before the year is finished? Expand

No. You are committing to personal and creative growth within a community over the course of a year. The energy and sacredness of the community is compromised if members come and go before the year is done. If your circumstances radically change during the year please contact me and we will work together to see what can be done.
