Manifesting Maplines
This journey slows us down inside the lower three chakras and lets us really look. Root, sacral, solar plexus. Death. Life. Rebirth. We wander the landscapes of each center and notice what has been stored there, what was cut off, what went quiet, what has been overworking to keep us upright. This is relearning the language of energy and intuition from the inside out. We sit with the density, the heat, the hunger, the numbness, and begin building trust with the parts of us that learned to survive through disconnection. The work here is embodied and steady. It deepens everything that follows.
Cord Cutting: Desert
This cord cutting uses landscape as context. The desert isn’t symbolic here, it’s practical. Sparse, exposed, honest. The journey moves through a place where there’s nowhere to hide and nothing extra to carry, which makes it possible to see an old story clearly and decide what no longer belongs to it. The cut happens through revision and choice, not confrontation, letting the narrative itself loosen so the attachment can fall away without force.

Hunting the Viper King Prompt Class
In this class we sit inside Hunting the Viper King as a living piece of folklore, tracking how desire, inheritance, and devotion shape a life. We move through questions of fate, power, and the cost of wanting something enough to pursue it for years. The story opens a field around myth making, unfinished quests, and the moment knowledge alters the body and the future. Writing here stays close to ambiguity, moral tension, and the pull of stories that refuse clean endings. We write into hunger, into silence, into the places where a tale keeps working on us long after it ends.
Writer’s Soul: Mary Austin’s Wild Voice
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.
Persephone
This class moves with Persephone as an initiation story that unfolds over time. We stay with descent as a lived process: the slow shedding of identities, the disorientation, the ache of longing, and the quiet work of integration that happens in the dark. Persephone opens a way to understand how loss, love, decay, and rebirth weave together, not as a single moment but as a cycle that repeats across a life. The class holds descent alongside companionship, grief alongside witness, and emergence alongside memory, reminding us that transformation happens in relationship and never in isolation.
Self Reclamation: The Tomb
This journey moves toward what has been sealed rather than avoided. It follows subtle inner threads to places where parts of the self have been caught in memory, guilt, or unfinished stories, and offers a way to bring them home without forcing resolution. The tomb is not a place of finality here, but of sacred decomposition, where old narratives are allowed to break down and become nourishment for what comes next.
Cord Cutting: The Old Forest
This cord cutting is deliberate and unhurried. It moves through old growth, following the pace of something that has been rooted for a long time. The forest holds history, attachment, and patience, allowing the connection to reveal itself rather than be hunted down. Release here comes through sovereignty and steadiness, trusting that what is ready to be severed will show itself when approached with care.
Self Reclamation: The Red Road
This journey lives at the moment of leaving the garden. It follows the Red Road as a place of choice, lineage, and wild encounter, where versions of the self begin signaling from beyond what is familiar or protected. What unfolds here is often surprising and alive. Ancestors, future selves, mythic figures, and portals appear not to be interpreted, but to be witnessed. Care is the throughline. Not rescue, not fixing, but learning what it takes to tend what has been waiting out in the holy wild.
Cord Cutting: Let it In, Let It Out
This cord cutting lives in movement rather than separation. It works through rhythm, breath, and repetition, allowing what has been held too tightly to move through instead of being severed. The volcano is not about destruction here, but circulation. Heat, pressure, grief, joy, fear, and relief are all allowed to pass in the same current. This class belongs to moments when containment has done its job and flow is what’s needed next.
Self Reclamation: The Wolf
This journey moves from protection into instinct. It tends the outer gates and energy body, then follows the pull toward the wild threshold where the Wolf waits. What is reclaimed here is not softened or civilized. It is met with loyalty, care, and recognition, allowing exiled parts to return without needing to be reshaped.
Inner Territory Journey: Samhain
We float down a river to a doorway of connection, a place to commune with your own intuition and soul’s wisdom, choosing whether to open the door for our beloved dead to join us at a feast of remembrance and communion. We wait and see who comes to sit, what blessings or advice they might bring, bearing witness to the long story of our souls woven with the lives of so many other souls. There is an invitation to reclaim our joy, our imagination, and our wild nature around the bonfire of our souls.
Cord Cutting: The Sea Cave
This journey unfolds slowly, held inside the warmth and shelter of a sea cave tucked away in our inner territories. What loosens here does so without shock or force. The cave offers a place where the body can soften and loosen gently, guided by a sense of safety rather than intensity.
Inner Territory Journey: Below The Deep
In this unique Inner Territory journey we travel through bioluminescent waters, diving all the way to the floor of our inner great sea.
We encounter whale graveyards, the libraries of all of our lifetimes, and we connect to the threads that link us to ourselves and to one another - beyond language and time. We move into depth without urgency, and encounter vast, quiet, connective landscapes. We are reminded of the long story of our souls, that we are made of many lifetimes, stories, and shared threads that persist even in the deepest dark.
Self Reclamation: Largeness
This journey makes space instead of seeking change. It softens the inner landscape to make room for feral, jagged, grieving, fire breathing parts to lie down without being managed or improved. In this meditation, we offer all parts of ourselves haven rather than transformation, trusting that rest holds its own kind of intelligence.
Cord Cutting: Uproot
This journey moves directly to what is tangled beneath the surface. We recognize when a bond has grown too entwined to tend, and when release is needed for life to keep moving. The letting go here is clear and steady, meeting deep attachment and trauma bonds without drama, and trusting that honesty can be enough to create freedom.
Cord Cutting: Eras
This journey moves through time as a living landscape. It allows past eras of the self to be witnessed, honored, and released without collapsing them into a single story. The cord we cut here is temporal, loosening identification with who we were so who we are becoming has room to arrive.
Cord Cutting: An End Is Also A Beginning
This journey works with endings that are honest rather than catastrophic. It begins with the wisdom of the Death card, letting cycles complete without clinging or collapse. When something is ready to be released here - a cycle, a pattern, a relationship - it makes room for agency, dignity, and a quieter beginning that does not need to announce itself.
Self Reclamation: Samhain
We're going to be riding the gates of Samhain, thinning the veils of our own decomposing stories and laying out a plate for our nearly dead parts. We're going to be making sacred ground from the dark loam of our lives, at this time of the year when stories soften and identities loosen. The turning here is quiet and preparatory, shaped by what is laid down and what is allowed to rest as the year shifts toward winter.
