Red Thread Gatherings
“To forget how to dig the earth and to tend the soil is to forget ourselves."”
MAHATMA GHANDI

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.

Summer Solstice Women’s Day in the Forest
Everybody Needs a Rock: A Solstice Day of Quiet Choosing
Everybody Needs a Rock by Byrd Baylor. This isn't just any book, it is a beautifully illustrated 'children's' book, a gift from a very special woman in my life. I read the inscription and hugged the book to my heart, the Solstice ceremony was here.
So this day will be inspired by the quiet magic of finding our rock. That one special stone that feels like a true companion.
Our day ceremony is about personal belonging and sacred choosing: each woman will wander in silence, find her own stone, and treat it as a small talisman of the solstice. The ceremony honours the idea that ordinary things can become deeply meaningful when we meet them with attention, reverence, and our own inner knowing. We will sit in circle with all the other-than-human beings holding our container. There will be food, felting and laughter, space for whatever needs to be.
We’ll wander gently, meet the land with quiet attention, and find a stone that feels like a companion. The terrain is easily walkable, with gentle paths and flat ground suitable for all levels.

She Who Sings Over the Bones
Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica • February 6 - 14th, 2027
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.
Registration is opening soon but if you are interested, put your name on the waitlist. In the meantime, you can check out our private resort at the link here.
I am hosting a zoom information session on June 17th at 7 PM

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.
