REKINDLING

the HEARTH



Through ritual, craft, song, story, and food, we’ll root deeper into our own ancestry & weave meaning into our daily lives.

Together, we’ll learn how to raise children in rhythm with the earth and in relationship to what is sacred, crafting a family culture that tends the hearth of home as a sacred place of meaning, nourishment, and belonging.

A 10-week online course for parents ready to rebuild what’s been lost.

Do you wish you had more meagingul rituals, songs, stories & crafts to share with your children?

The truth is that most of us are culturally orphaned, yet know in our bones there are beautiful, meaningful ways our ancestors honored life. Sadly, these weren’t passed on.
We are here to change that…

So our children are raised with CULTURE & BELONGING

THE ROOTS of CULTURE

SONG. STORY. RITUAL. CRAFT. FOOD. FAMILY

Join us for a journey of
REMEMBRANCE

In this course, we’ll explore the age-old cultural building blocks of song, craft, story, and food as ways to begin cultivating a healthy, beautiful culture…starting with our own families. We’ll delve into the importance of ancestry and how to share it meaningfully with our children. Through teachings and hands-on practices, we’ll infuse our days and seasons with awe, wonder, and life-giving ways…creating rituals and rhythms that root our families in belonging, resilience, and beauty.

Together, we’ll share our journey, inspirations, and discoveries, while building village-minded support as we take up the courageous work of shaping the kind of culture we know is possible, in service to future generations and the precious,
holy earth that holds us.

Nurturing their bodies, hearts, minds, and gifts. Our days are filled with both the deep magic of their presence and the overwhelming weight of being their everything.

And yet, beneath the surface, many of us carry profound isolation,
confusion, & grief.

We are raising children with less support than almost any generation before us, in a world strained by injustice and ecological crisis. our precious earth is overtaxed by our presence to a breaking point, and we are at once more comfortable and more spiritually impoverished and lonely than most other eras. 

In a post-colonial world, we are often disconnected from the land where live, from the stories of our own people and how they came to live where they do, and from the meaningful and rich cultural legacies that come with in-tact cultures who live in relative balance with their local ecologies.

In rare quiet moments, something deeper stirs.
A remembering…
That there were once other ways to live and raise children.
Ways rooted in rhythm, community, and reciprocity.

And we can learn how to bring this back into the heart of our family life.

As parents in today’s world, we give everything to meet our children’s needs…

Our children deserve to know they come from a long line of people & place worthy of

The Journey to
REKINDLING

Your Hearth

will include the 4 pillars 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.

Together we will take courageous steps toward reclaiming our voices for our children and ourselves, and weaving this essential cultural element back into the fabric of our every day lives where it belongs.  

SONG

PILLAR 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

PILLAR 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

PILLAR 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 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

PILLAR 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.

Together we will learn how to tend to our ancestors, share their stories, and hold age-appropriate ceremony that honors both life and death with beauty and care.
