The Journey to
REKINDLING
Your Hearth
will include the 4
Hearthstones of:
Singing is your birthright.
Across time and culture, humans have sung to work, to play, to grieve, to pray—to make meaning and beauty of life.
In this course, you’ll be gently guided to reclaim your voice—for yourself and for your children. You’ll explore how to bring song back into the rhythms of daily life: around the table, at bedtime, in transitions, in moments of joy, and in times of sorrow.
You will leave with a basket of recorded songs to weave this essential cultural element back into the fabric of your every day lives where it belongs.
SONG
HEARTHSTONE 1:
Stories are the heart seeds of culture.
They root us in place, teach right relationship with the ecology, that lay maps for community, and guide us through life’s thresholds.
In this course, you’ll learn how to bring ancestral stories into your home—and how to tell them.
You’ll practice the art of storytelling for children, and discover how to weave challenges your child might be facing into supportive, meaningful stories that help them heal and face the challenges in a good way.
Together, we’ll remember how story shapes culture, and how you can use it to tend your family’s roots.
STORY
HEARTHSTONE 2:
One of our greatest gifts as humans is the incredible things we can create with our dexterous, holy hands.
Anciently, our people not only made everything they needed to live, but they made these things beautifully in honor of the resources we take from the wild world to live.
In our course together we will empower you to take up our capacity to craft beautiful things with our hands again and gift our children with this capacity as well. Drawing inspiration from the vast capacity our ancestors had to make all they needed right from their land.
You will reawaken your heart and hands to bring more beauty and life into the heart of your home and family.
CRAFT
HEARTHSTONE 3:
Through learning to grow and prepare the foods that sustained our ancestors, we have a huge opportunity to feel our connection to the larger web of life.
In this course, you’ll explore how growing, preparing, and sharing food can become a doorway to ancestral connection and family tradition.
From seed to table—most culture is built around the growing, processing, cooking and sharing of food!
Together we will find and share recipes to explore the endless ways we can let this deeply spiritual, nourishing, and joyful terrain guide us in building delightful traditions for our family that will literally nourish generations to come.
FOOD
HEARTHSTONE 4:
BONUS: SAMHAIN CEREMONY
At Samhain, the veil thins.
It’s a sacred time to remember and give thanks to the ancestors—those whose love, labor, and longings made our lives possible.
In this course, you’ll be guided to create a family-centered Ancestors’ Feast: a grounding ceremony that gently welcomes your children into the great lineage they belong to, through reverence and remembrance.

Meagan comes from an educated, working class family in the United States, and now lives in the ancestral home of the Tewa people in Santa Fe, NM in the Galisteo water shed. She performs and directs a rich array of original works and cultural art forms and teaches people of all ages and walks of life across the U.S. and around the globe. Meagan has been deeply shaken, re-organized, and inspired by her studies with Martin Prechtel, Bill Plotkin, Sage Hamilton and Melissa Michaels, among others.
Through many creative mediums and with great playfulness she devotes herself to nurturing relational paradigms and cultivating the seeds of human cultural that will nurture the Holy Wild World for generations to come. She can often be found singing for all occasions, learning new hand crafts, and trying new recipes in the kitchen with her wee one.

Item description
Reconnecting with our ancestry can feel daunting. The past thousands of years have been marked by war, displacement, oppression, and trauma. Many of our ancestors both suffered and caused harm, and for many of us the stories of where we come from are fragmented or lost.
We now know that unhealed trauma doesn’t vanish, it ripples forward through the generations until it is faced. Looking to our lineages can bring deep grief, but within that grief is an invitation: to begin the work of healing for both those who came before us and those yet to come.
This course helps your family root into meaningful ancestral practices—song, story, food, craft, ritual—that build resilience and give us strength to meet the grief when it arises. There is space here for hesitation, overwhelm, and tenderness. While our course is not “therapy”, engaging in this work begins to mend the amnesia we carry and offers balm for ancestral wounds in small, profound ways: one offering, one song, one celebration at a time.
