Workshop Experience

Together we will explore the cycles of Grandmother Moon as they relate to the cycles of women and all our relatives of Mother Earth. This will include remembering traditional ways, exploring the sacredness of our life-giving bodies, and creating medicine tools to support our personal wellness journeys.

We will explore the relationship between Grandmother Moon and the waters of Mother Earth and make Moon Water medicine to encourage self-care; shifting back to viewing Moontime as it was meant to be, a celebration of life-givers.

This workshop offers a safe space to remember traditional ways, share teachings about the sacredness of our bodies, and create medicine tools to support your personal wellness journey.

Dawn has been doing workshops in Indigenous communities for 20+ years.

Bird Medicines and Feather Bundles

Cultural lessons that reflect respect for others, respect for Mother Earth and our relatives. We explore natural order and introduce the ways in which Indigenous cultures hold Mother Earth's animals in high esteem. We will explore the medicines that the birds bring to our lives and touch the feathers of dozens of birds in Dawn's extensive collection.

Traditional Clay Pinch Pot Smudge Bowl

Connecting with Mother Earth, hands on clay.

Participants create traditional pinch pots the way our Grandmothers used to make.

Putting your intentions into the clay and shaping her into your own personal pot is such a meaningful way to include your spirit with every smudge.
