Walking with Earth & Crone

Learning to walk with wisdom in these trying times.

WHAT:

The Crone archetype teaches us that wisdom grows not just through age, but through conscious relationship with life's cycles of death and rebirth.

Through my own deepening relationship with Crone wisdom and Earth's teachings, I've discovered tools for navigating life's transitions that are too precious not to share more widely.

This workshop represents both a natural evolution of my work with elders and a response to our times' urgent need for wisdom that bridges generations, honors Earth's teachings, and helps us all navigate periods of profound change.

Why this workshop:

  • In these times of unprecedented global change and disconnect from nature, many of us feel called to rediscover deeper ways of knowing and being.

  • The ancient archetype of the Crone - the wise elder who stands at the threshold between worlds - combined with Earth's profound teachings, offers us a pathway back to wisdom that is desperately needed today.

    What makes this work unique is the weaving together of:

    • Earth-based practices and wisdom

    • The Crone's fearless truth-telling and transformative power

    • Multi-generational perspectives and experiences

    • Both traditional and emerging ways of knowing

In my lived experience and years of practice, there is nothing more powerful or transformational than an embodied understanding - practical tools - that bridge the worlds of the spiritual/mystical/metaphysical with the natural/physical/material.

*No prior experience necessary. Powered by mirror neurons & human connection, the Kindrêd Meditation™ practice is so simple it can be learned in 10 minutes, but so powerful it’s being studied by neuroscientists in 4 countries.

*Kindrêd Meditation™ is a somatic practice for those who want to feel the regenerative power of their own body... to feel renewed & revitalized, so that we can face life’s challenges with confidence and ease.

It invites us to remember our inherent right and sovereign responsibility to choose what most benefits us in each moment.

Utilizing the power of Kindrêd Meditation

we will learn to access feeling states that are generative, nurturing and nourishing for the body…

This is what we will declare:

  • Authority: I give myself permission to be present/engaged/actively choosing how I want to respond to life - even when there is discomfort, challenge, uncertainty.

  • Agency: I own my sovereignty. I claim my right to a beautiful life - in my own body. I make choices that are healthy and beneficial for my body, for my life.

  • Authenticity: I know who I am. I embody both feminine and masculine qualities (yin/yang): of grace, beauty, flow, chaos, collaboration and receptivity, & also of structure, form, security, safety, action, and focus.

As empowered and precious human beings, we will use these attributes to support, benefit, guide and bless our lives and those of our loved ones, community, Mother Earth.

Other Offerings for those royals who want to encounter the archetypal power of the Crone.

The Crone represents

  • the power, passion, and purpose of ancient female wisdom…

  • the crowning triple phase of the ancient Triple Goddess: Maiden/Mother/Crone.

Joyous, outrageous, real, and at ease, living from the inside out, she celebrates the Mystery.

The Crone’s title was related to the word crown and she represented the power of the ancient tribal matriarch who made the moral and legal decisions for her subjects and descendants. 

It was the medieval metamorphosis of the wise woman into the witch that changed the word Crone from a compliment to an insult and established the stereotype of malevolent old womanhood that continues to haunt elder women today.
