CRAFTING OUR BELONGING

a journey of coming home to our voice, hands and the land

Every Thursday from 26th March - 30th April ‘26

with Mae Bird and Bonnie Medicine

In this 6 week online container, we will journey with & explore the ancestral lifeways of Woman :: Singing, Spinning, Weaving, Grieving and Being on the land.
With 6 weekly calls, beginning at the Spring Equinox and ending at Beltane, we will gather & circle, as our bare feet are called once more to the blooming green carpet of Mother Earth, remembering our innate connection, presence and creativity as a daughter of the land.

In this course we will learn rituals and practices for tending connection to our grief, to the land, and our hands - using our voices as tools for personal and collective healing, our hands as instruments to weave beauty and belonging, and our feet as vehicles to explore the animate and sentient world around us.
With the help of our ancestors, their ancient practices, and the land that we live on, we will learn ways to be with the intense darkness our world is experiencing, finding solace in the medicine of being together as Women at this unprecedented time on Earth.

The Journey ::

  • Women's Circle

    Week 1 : Opening the Circle (26th March)

    Arriving into this unique constellation of sisters with breath, song and an invitation into a land connection practice which will hold us through the entire 6 week journey.
    Here we shall invite and invoke our healed ancestors and the council of Grandmothers to guide us into our innate connection with story, place and belonging.

  • Ancestral Craft

    Week 2 : Ancestral Craft and the Holy Spindle (2nd April)

    We begin our journey with the practice that we will tend throughout the whole container: Spinning yarn!
    As well as teaching the fundamentals of spinning, we will dive into the Herstory of craft: spinning beauty with the threads of life & weaving stories of beauty and peace for a better world.
    {There will also be an optional video in the course material to make your own frame loom & learn to weave)

  • Voice Alchemy/ Vocal Workshop

    Week 3: Voice Alchemy (9th April)

    In this week we will be exploring a practice of opening and softening to become a portal between spirit and matter. Through presence, vocal toning and connecting to the deep wisdom of our bodies we will release tension and held emotions so that we can hear and sing the voice of our soul: embodying the original, powerful instrument of life that we are.

  • Grief Tending

    Week 4 : Grief Tending (16th April)

    This week we will be exploring ways to tend our grief; to welcome it home into the sacred family of life once more and remember the wisdom it holds. Through our relationship to water, voice and land connection we will allow ourselves to be witnessed in the depths of our emotions so that we can let the waves wash over us, bringing healing to parts we previously thought would never come into wholeness and to remember that we are not alone in all the we feel.

  • Song Channelling for Collective Healing & Social Justice (23rd April)

    Week 5: Song Channelling for Collective Healing & Social Justice (23rd April)

    As our final workshop, we channel the grief we have been holding since last week and find our voice, our truth, our reason for wanting to create through the deeply moving practice of Song channeling for collective healing and social justice.
    An opportunity to alchemise our grief into fuel for the revolution, and open our channel for the collective.

  • Integration

    Week 6 : Integration & Closing (30th April)

    We complete our journey together by honouring the land, the fibres, the songs, and eachother for all that we have been with through the gates of this container. We give our creations back to the land and give thanks for the deep medicine of sisterhood & ancestral lifeways.

What women Are Saying about our work:

This was a deeply nourishing gift - to marinade myself in the healing balm of sisterhood.. Singing as a collective was pure bliss - I could feel more voices than our own in the space. The stories shared from our circle brought me so much joy and comfort. Mae, Mairead and Lucy are truly powerful women carrying the medicine of the old ways into our lives. The women who gathered also deeply inspired me. I felt awe - Awen - throughout. Diolch yn fawr, fawr iawn.

- Veronica Stanwell of Rooted Healing

‘Emerging from our days in the wilds together was like emerging into life anew, nourished to the bones and tender hearted from all the beauty that naturally arises from simply spending time with other women on the land. Simple, yet utterly profound. It was so far beyond what I could have ever imagined, and my heart was opened wider than I thought possible. We were so tenderly cared for and fed with so much beauty - whether that was song, ceremony, time to craft, or space to simply be and stretch into the timeless time that invites true intimacy with the land. Plus of course the food that filled our bellies (which was nourishing beyond belief and so carefully and lovingly prepared). The depth of holding that these women brought to the space was extraordinary, and I’ll carry what we experienced together with me for a very long time.’

-Bethan

The Circle of Women immersion was truly a treasure of an experience. So authentic, intentional, grounded, and carefully tended. I have a new level of respect for sisterhood and the power we as women have to resurrect ancient and needed ways of being together with the Earth in ceremony. I am thankful for the vision and wisdom of each facilitator and am looking forward to see what they continue to create and shine into the world.
