Of Stone and Bone: a Wisdom School to Reclaim the Sovereign Wild

Join Tonja Reichley (Northern Hemisphere/ Ireland) and Alison Powell (Southern Hemisphere/ Australia) for a year-long immersion to reclaim the value and wisdom of the elder, honoring them in our own lives and in the broader culture.

Weaving participants from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres of planet Earth, we will deepen into the meaning of each season, with the Cailleach as our guide, honouring the sacred elder and the sovereign wild discovered there.

Together we will live and dance, grieve and die with the veiled one of myth and memory.

The Cailleach, the veiled one of myth and mystery, of the Celtic wisdom traditions, will be our guide as we participate, remember and embody the rhythms of the season and the power and magic we share with the Elements.  We will weave in magic and possibility as we tend to the land who is an embodiment of the Cailleach. We will work with native European and Irish herbs and practice ritual together for each of the holy turnings of the year.  We will remember who we are before patriarchy when the wisdom and life of the elder was honoured as sacred.  We will listen to myth and story of the Irish Wisdom Tradition and receive from these stories a compass to guide our path forward, hand in hand with elder.
