Being in a Forest

Being in a forest as the light pours in. Walking barefoot on moss. Midnight wanders in wild places. Coffee and clouds. Dawn and dusk. Skinny dipping. Moonlight and the Milky Way. Picnics and poetry. The perfect sentence. Dancing with the wind. Walks in the rain. Food from the garden. Music, songs, and singing. When the leaves turn gold. Being enraptured by a sky of stars. Watching a tortoise walk All the things to still learn. All the trees to love. The ecstasy of finishing a perfect meal. Contemplating the great mysteries of existence. Bats. Owls. Ravens. Storms. Dreams. Moths. Mountain ash. The song of a hermit thrush. The smell of lilac. The euphoria of petrichor. Laughing hysterically for hours on end. The susurrus sound of rustling leaves. The call of...

The Joyous Body: Weekly Online Course for Women

The Joyous Body “It is the nature of the saplings to quake in the winds; hesitant, learning to hold their own places. But, the older trees, with their years of testing and being tested, they are the ones who, whether in the long stern winds or misty gales, sway the most.  Less a bouquet of tentative trembling first-time buds, now much more the leaf-perfumed hips of a hundred wide women dancing—these old ones, regardless of form, sway, by heart, to the music that thunders through them.” —Clarissa Pinkola Estés, PhD Phoenix Arrien  invites you into nourishing community and empowering spaces on this program from Clarissa Pinkola Este's original stories, poems, and psychological commentary on the challenges, remedies, and ancient knowings of the holy female body, “that which is not...

Trauma-informed Spaces

When we say we are trauma-informed, what does that actually mean? Safety: Ensuring that you feel physically and emotionally safe. This does not mean you will always feel safe because of personal factors, what you carry in with you and occasional mistakes by us, but that you are essentially safe. Trustworthiness: We try. We may not always get close to the mark but we believe that listening and understanding where you are at helps us to maintain a helpful level of trust. Choice: It is up to you to participate as much or as little as you want. Collaboration: Healing is a journey together. Trauma-informed is not an end state, but a process. We are always learning and developing to become trauma aware, trauma sensitive, trauma responsive and trauma-informed. We both...
