ceremonial women’s immerions
"I walk the edges of things and find the places where the veil is thin, where the boundaries between worlds are softer and more yielding. It is in these places that the mysteries reveal themselves, and the path forward becomes clear." - Carolyn Hillyer
In these tender times, I ache for the fire. For the salt of the ocean on my skin. For song, prayer, stillness, for space to listen—for gentleness amongst my days so I may soften into the change. This shift is not a delicate one, and yet it is our choice within mind and body to make it so.
In moments like these, our ancestors knew the way. They knew the importance of gathering to pray, to be in ceremony. The women especially knew to gather. When women gather amongst changing tides, we become a lighthouse. A circle of oracle. A powerful portal of truth and embodied change. The potency of coming together to consciously give way to something new is deeply inherent in our blood.
We give birth—not only physically, but spiritually.
The women with courage gathering now are like stars in the night sky. We have an opportunity to shift deep wells within—not only personally, but collectively. It is within our gathering into stillness, into rest, into pause, into prayer—that all life connected to our webs also receives the exhale of release.
this is the work of the Daughters of Devotion.

Talisman | Day Retreat :: Nov. 15th
We invite you— from the tenderness of our hearts, to join us in a simple and rather special day of retreat. We gather to weave not only metaphorically but literally, a space to hold the coming dreams of our lives. Talisman came to us as a call from the ancestral lines in which we sing from, to gather amongst women to do what we have been doing for ages, to gather in a way that is innate within our bones. We will sit in circle and let the creative and ceremonial artist and devotee within each of us emerge. To create a talisman is the invitation. And there are many things that could look like. Perhaps it is a small satchel that is strung around the neck and hangs at the heart for the dreams and visions and seeds to rest within. Perhaps it is a small bag which travels in your purse that carries offerings and prayers. Maybe it is a token that will live amongst your altar. Whatever you feel called to create will be the perfect talisman for your journey forth.
