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.
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: Life Raft
Rather than cutting the cords this time, we untie the rope, toss it into the water, and watch that person/that connection float over the horizon. Instead of severing, we allow distance to form gently and naturally. The release here is quiet and buoyant, offering space to float, recalibrate, and breathe again. It trusts that safety and separation can coexist, and that letting go does not have to be abrupt in order to be real.
Wyrd Changer: The Way Changer Journey Archetype
This journey introduces the Way Changer as an Inner Territory archetype. Here, we soften was has felt fixed, letting our grooves and ruts become fluid again. We liberate ourselves from the inside - still delicately and patiently - and then we watch as that change ripples outward into our lives in its own time.
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.
Inner Territory Journey: Trickster
This journey moves through the part of the self that disrupts in order to wake things up. Trickster shows up here as clever, subversive, boundary-testing, and deeply necessary. As we follows this energy through the inner territory, it became clear that this isn’t about chaos for its own sake. It’s about thawing what’s been frozen, slipping through thin places, and nudging us into growth we might not have chosen consciously. What gets integrated here doesn’t stay personal. This journey carries collective impact, reminding us that small acts of disruption, humor, and courage ripple outward, loosening stuck systems and opening new pathways.
Wyrd Changer: Inside Your Green Heart
This Journey is rooted in older, land-based ways of understanding change. The heart is treated as an ecosystem rather than a place of willpower, something that listens, sheds, and regenerates in its own time. Nothing is argued with or forced here. Beliefs are composted, burned back, and returned to soil. This is the beginning of the Way Changer arc, where the heart is reestablished as a place that knows how to guide us.
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: The Land Of Giants
This journey opens into the scale of the towering giant redwoods in the Pacific Northwest. It places the self alongside something vast and alive, where awe interrupts self scrutiny and perspective shifts through direct contact with largeness. What we reclaim here comes from remembering that we are shaped by land, movement, and wonder, not only by the stories we carry about ourselves.
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.
Cord Cutting: The Green Ribbon
This is a cord cutting journey rooted in reclaiming sovereignty through story. Drawing from The Green Ribbon folklore, the work centers the moment when curiosity, entitlement, or devotion crosses into possession, and asks what it means to belong to oneself again. Cord cutting here is held as an act of self authorship rather than rupture, honoring the truth that some boundaries exist to keep life intact.
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.
Cord Cutting: Place
This journey works with Place as something alive, something that shapes us in real and lasting ways. It recognizes how environments, shelters, and landscapes have fed and held the soul, and it does not ask for erasure in order to release. Letting go here is ecological rather than abrupt, guided by respect for what has been gathered and trust in Nature’s ability to regenerate, carry memory, and continue on in new forms.
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.
Self Reclamation: Seiðr
This journey draws from the Old Norse practice of seiðr (pronounced say-thr) as quiet, relational spirit work, moving gently toward the inner goodness of the heart. It creates space for parts of the self that have been silenced or set aside to return without pressure. Nothing is performed or pushed. Attention stays with consent, attunement, and the body’s own way of recognizing what is ready to come home. Reclamation unfolds through listening, at the pace it asks for.
Cord Cutting: Lanterns
This cord cutting moves slowly, led by tenderness rather than urgency. It’s less about severing and more about illuminating, turning a soft light toward connections that no longer fit. Curiosity and self regard stay intact as clarity emerges, allowing release to happen through honesty and care instead of force.
Writing Prompts: Rewriting Fairytales
In this class we return to the old stories and lay them open on the table. The princesses, the wolves, the bargains, the glass coffins, the girls sent into forests. We notice where fear was planted, where obedience was rewarded, where mothers disappeared, where magic was distorted. Then we begin again. Together we freewrite with intention, following a loose but steady structure that helps us breathe new endings into inherited tales. This class moves something deep in the Inner Territory. It stirs grief, anger, delight, defiance. Bring a fairytale that won’t leave you alone and carve out real time to enter it. When you’re done, share your rewritten myth with us. We are building new storylines on purpose.
Self Reclamation: Nothing Is Permanent, Not Even Exile
This journey questions the idea that exile is permanent. It follows sensation and the subtle inner threads that lead back to parts of the self that have gone quiet or distant, meeting them without urgency. Some moments here are tender, others feel like thresholds, but return isn’t forced. It happens through attention, patience, and the willingness to stay present long enough for something to recognize itself again.
