In Ancestral times All Beings were communicated with and included as part of the Council of Collective Wisdom, giving Life and Voice to the Elemental Powers, the Air, the Fire, the Water, and the Earth, as well as to All Our Relations, the winged, the crawlers, the swimmers, the four-legged, the stone people, the tree nations, and all ones.

Earth Mother Vision by Fyre Jean Graveline
Welcome to ReAwakening Ancestral Resiliency through Eco-Arts Therapy. This may well be one of the most hopeful, beautiful and inspiring journeys we can take at this important transitional time for Humanity and for Earth Mother.

Together, we can take time to shift the stressful energy that we are all currently walking with, through Connection with the Natural World, and ReAwakening all kinds of sensory awarenesses that we have been Gifted, like our Ancestors before us, to attune to Mother Earth.

We have developed a series of diverse and relevant online spring classes to reach out and support individuals and their communities. We are thinking of you during this time of social distancing and life adjustments resulting from the current global health concern.
