Writing Prompts: Final Shed of the Year of the Wood Snake
Final Shed is a ritual writing circle held at the edge of a cycle, where we gather inside serpent medicine to name what is ending and consciously release it. Together we write into the cords that still bind us to dying systems, inherited patterns, and the exiles or shadows that surfaced over the year, allowing grief and truth to move without being rushed toward resolution. This class is both communal descent and deliberate severing, a final skin laid down before momentum returns. From that honest ground, we turn toward the Fire Horse and ask what courage, movement, and embodied power we are ready to claim, calling our strength up from the earth and stepping forward changed.
Decolonizing: Abandoning Individualism In Favor of Community Care With Malialani Dullanty
This class asks us to loosen our grip on the individual self and remember what it means to belong to one another. Malialani walks us through the roots of individualism and how it has shaped the way we understand self, success, safety, and even spirituality. Together we look at how that mindset fragments community and how decolonizing the self opens us back into reciprocity, responsibility, and care. This conversation feels foundational. It shifts the ground we’re standing on before we ever step into archetype or ritual.
History of Gaia's & Luna's Cycles With Natalie Stoemmer
This class brings us into direct relationship with the menstrual cycle as a source of intelligence and authority. We slow down enough to learn how the body actually functions and what it has been communicating all along. Plant allies are introduced as steady supports, offering care, resilience, and regulation through cyclical living. This is a space where trust in the body begins to rebuild and power grows through listening, consistency, and informed choice.
Writer’s Soul: Joy Harjo
This class sits inside Joy Harjo’s way of listening to the world. We move through her poems as landscapes shaped by breath, memory, grief, and belonging, paying attention to how voice carries responsibility to land, ancestors, and spirit. We stay close to the tenderness and ferocity in her writing, the way image and truth travel together without explanation. Writing here feels devotional and grounded, guided by what has been carried forward and what still needs a voice.

Cord Cutting: The Red Thread
This cord cutting works with the red thread as something inherent rather than something to earn or repair. The journey stays in the body, especially the sacral waters, and moves slowly through sensation, consent, and creative energy. Release here is not about severing connection to desire or instinct, but about loosening what has dulled or quieted the wild knowing we’re born with. The Maiden, Mother, and Crone appear as witnesses and companions, helping restore access to erotic vitality, belonging, and continuity without collapsing into shame or obligation.
Self Reclamation: Island of Joy
This is a unique meditation that leads us to the island of our joy. What we find there is likely to be complicated. It may feel full, distant, guarded, or unfamiliar, and grief is allowed to move alongside it. We approach joy with curiosity rather than expectation. Nothing is asked to resolve or brighten. Our attention stays with listening, learning how joy actually lives in the inner landscape when it’s given time and room.
Wyrd Changer: For a Better World
This journey widens the lens beyond the individual and asks what it means to change together. It works with manifestation as a collective, ecological process, shaped by relationship, imagination, and responsibility rather than willpower. The images here are rooted in interdependence, inviting us to release what no longer serves not just the self, but the shared terrain we belong to.
Self Reclamation: La Loba
This journey follows the old story of La Loba, the Bone Woman, as a way of remembering what has been scattered or buried in our inner territories. It moves with the quiet devotion of gathering bones, trusting that what has been preserved still knows how to live. Nothing is rushed or forced back into form. This reclamation happens through attention and patience. We are guided by the Bone Woman’s song to restore our instinct, vitality, and soul memories.
Self Reclamation: Sitting In
This journey is built around attention and patience. Drawing from older, earth based practices, it turns the act of Sitting-Out inward, moving slowly through sensation, detail, and presence. Exiled parts aren’t summoned or analyzed. They are given time to notice that they are being listened to. Reclamation unfolds through continuity, through staying with what’s here long enough for relationship to form, shaped by land, ritual, and remembered ways of keeping watch.
Cord Cutting: Invasive Roots
Cord cutting is held here as a gardening practice rather than a severing, guided by relationship with land, body, and the wisdom of what is native.
If you can, try to spend some time in Nature before this cord cutting. Watch the way plants, animals, and elements interact with one another. Observe how the interconnectedness of Nature feels in your own body. Take note of what is native to your part of the world and what is not.
Inner Territory Journey: Embodied
This journey pulls the soul back into form. It rejects disembodied transcendence and instead roots inner work in gravity, sensation, and presence. The body leads here, not the mind, carrying us deeper and recalibrating to the womb of the Earth. Inner Territory work sees the body not as something separate from the soul, but one part of a complex soul system. To recover our exiled parts, our agency, our most central Self, we move deeper into the body.
Wyrd Changer: Your Oracular Sight
This class restores trust in ways of knowing that were trained out of us. It situates intuition inside lineage, ethics, and responsibility, not prediction or performance. Oracular sight is remembered here as collective, relational, and wise enough to alter direction with care.
Writer’s Soul: Audre Lorde
This is a writing and listening class rooted in Audre Lorde’s insistence that language is a site of power, survival, and truth telling. The work centers her voice as queer, Black, feminist, and uncompromising, inviting writers to meet their own words as living forces shaped by body, grief, love, and responsibility. Writing here is not separated from politics or soul. It is understood as a way of telling the truth of one’s life in relationship with the world.
