If women remember that once upon a time
we sang with the tongues of seals
and flew with the wings of swans,
that we forged our own paths through dark forests
while creating community of its many inhabitants,
then we will rise up….

What would it be like to stop trying to fix the world for ourselves, for our grandchildren, for all the creatures of this planet, and instead take their hands
and the hands of our ancestors, and the hands of our great great grandchildren
and with fierce love make a path by walking it?
Wise women have seen that we are living on an edge at the end of a world. Much of what humanity has known, including our way of living on the planet, cannot endure. Yet the way forward is unknown.
This is when and where our work as women begins, the moment when we rise to reclaim what we have always done and make a path through the dark forest by walking it.
We can avail ourselves of deep feminine wisdom. We can drink from the well of the Sacred Feminine and learn to live in a hope beyond the hope that we can fix the trouble we’re in.
Sacred Mystery resides among the more than human: tree and forest, mountain and river, fox and turtle, hawk and bramble. By learning to love fiercely and by reweaving these ancient relationships we and our children’s children’s children might possibly become creatures who have a place within the unfolding story on the far side of what we can now imagine.
This Heroine’s Journey is small and spiraling, hardly a path at all…but we will set forth with courage and joy.
Join us to:
- Wander the sacred land of Rolling Ridge listening for the wisdom of the wild inhabitants of the forest, mountain, and river.
- Listen to ancient stories rising out of the heart of the Sacred Feminine with wisdom of what to do and how to behave when the dark times come around again.
- Gather for council and ceremony woven with the heartbeats of our drums and the power of dancing in sacred circles.
