Living Your Muse : Embodied Creativity Group, online starting in July
The Sacred Wild speaks to us in unknown languages that we learn through creative listening, sensing, and processing. Often we understand our interactions with the Wild only after we have put an image to paper, or allowed poetry to flow out, or felt the gestures and movements of a dance. Within each of us is a Muse who, if called, will help us to fully engage in a deeply embodied, soulful way with the Sacred Wild and our own inner landscapes.
Join us for an experiential journey over 4 weeks of a full moon cycle, of Living Your Muse. Together we will stoke the fires of our creativity with drawing, expressive writing, photography and movement. Each invitation to create will be rooted in connection to the natural world and our internal reflections of it.
Hosted on Center for Wild Spirituality’s Mighty Networks ecosystem, we will have a private group page to share our creations and thoughts, as well as recordings of sessions you miss. Attendance live is important though, so plan to be present with us as often as possible. No art experience necessary - this is about tapping into the innate creativity within you.
Facilitated by Michele Walker & Melissa Fritchle, Guides for Seminary of the Wild Earth
4 Wednesdays, July 23 - August 13, 2:30pm to 4:30pmPT through Center for Wild Spirituality

Prayer as Portal : Yoga and Embodiment Workshop in Santa Cruz, CA
Our prayers are doorways we consciously walk through. In this workshop we will work with our prayers as conversations and collaborations with the Divine that come through our whole embodied Self.
Practicing yoga, guided meditations, and embodied writing we will find our way into deeper, juicer, more vulnerable prayers. We will explore ways to connect with inner and outer guidance to shape our prayers and perhaps bring some healing to our often striving or fearful Ego.
Words, action, visioning, and surrender all as necessary to make your prayer a portal. Join us in grounded exploration and community.
Saturday, August 23 3-7pm at Pleasure Point Sanctuary
Duo or Trio Contemplative Nature Sessions
These sessions are one hour outdoor with one or two other soul explorers. They are not designed to address the relationship between you, but rather to share and witness each other as trusted companions. They are not hikes for exercise, but contemplative time to listen and take in the natural world as a guide and teacher. Suggested that you commit to at least 6 weeks together to allow for deepening.
You can choose your own fellow soul explorers or if you are interested in share sessions and want to be paired with someone, we can do an intake call & I will let you know if there is someone who would be a good match for your interests & timing. $250 a session, split by group
