The EarthWise Way

EarthWise Way is a year long guided experience of

deep soul connection with the earth. It's a sacred gift of time

and community designed to help you birth personal,

spiritual, and creative growth using art as a transformative

process and nature as your guide.

You'll be traveling the spiral path of your heart with other

creative women, while cultivating your intuitive knowing, and

honoring your authentic self. Monthly themes, inspiring

materials and creative art invitations will gently guide you in

nurturing a sacred connection to the earth, celebrating the

seasons, and attuning your inner and outer worlds to the

rhythms and cycles of nature.

Is The EarthWise Way a good fit for Me?

This group is for you if:

● You know that nature and creativity have always called to you, and

nourished your soul.

● You long to be part of a community of likeminded creative women who

explore a spiritual connection to nature, and earth wisdom, through art,

creativity, myth and metaphor.

● You'd like to creatively deal with the "stuff of life" and want support for that.

● You’re willing to dive deep into yourself using art and Mother Earth as your

guide.

● You know that experiencing creative process, making art and time in nature

would enrich your life and heal your soul.

● You know that the dizzying pace of your life needs the counterbalance

found in solitude and time in nature.

● You want to be more spiritually-oriented in your life, and tap into the

earth wisdom our ancestors knew.

● Connecting with a community of amazing women committed to designing

their lives around nature's rhythms and cycles appeals to you.

● Thinking about being in tune with the earth and creating art that deeply

reflects that connection sparks your imagination
