From Fibre to Form: Wet Felting a Vessel
Saturday October 17 // 1-4 PM // The Fig - Okotoks
A gathering of women, moving their hands together in warm water and wool, shaping something ancient and alive.
Wet felting is one of the oldest textile arts, Born of water, fibre, and the steady rhythm of hands working in circle. Long before language, women gathered in this way: creating, remembering, making meaning through touch.
In this space, we return to that knowing.
We will shape wool into vessel and vase, listening to what wants to take form through us. Woven through the experience is gentle storytelling, threads of myth and reflection carried around the circle as we create.
This is a return to an old way of making, where creation is both craft and remembering.
All felting supplies are included in the workshop
The Returning Light: Felting A Lighted Vessel
November 8 // 12:00 to 3:00 PM // $120 + GST // Elma + Elk Okotoks
In the Northern traditions the Winter Solstice is associated with Deer Mother. A being that carries the light of the new year in her antlers. On the longest night, when the world seems suspended in the in-between, the Deer Mother travels into the dark to retrieve the sun. She does not rush it. She carries it home carefully, as if she knows that light must be held before it can be shared. We gather here in that same spirit: to shape a vessel, to remember what can endure the winter, and to make a home for the returning light.
All felting supplies included

She Who Sings Over the Bones
Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica • February 6 - 14th, 2027
SOLD OUT
There is a place within you that remembers.
A place that has been gathering… quietly, patiently…
waiting for the moment you return.
In the old story of La Loba from Women Who Run with the Wolves, she walks the wild lands collecting bones,
the pieces that have been scattered, forgotten, left behind.
And when she has gathered enough…
she sings.
And what was once lost begins to rise.
This retreat is for the woman who feels that call.
The one who knows there are parts of her still waiting to be reclaimed.
The one ready to listen for the song that only she can sing.
8 days of myth, ritual, creation, movement and deep remembering
held in the lush, wild lands of Costa Rica.

Testimonials
Let Others Inspire You.
Jamie's approach to teaching is refreshing. She doesn't tell you how to feel or what to think - she guides you to simply be curious about. I found her style to be a great fit for me and she helped me to 'be real' with myself. She creates a safe environment and makes her students feel comfortable right from day 1. I could not be more grateful.
Each Sunday I went home with a new out look on life and my life began to change. I've never felt so safe, so supported or so loved as I did each weekend at training. It was by far the best thing I have ever done.
