4 Season Bundle Description:
The Nourishing Kin 4 Season Bundle includes recordings from our Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn classes. 
 
Winter | Yule & Imbolc:
The turn of the wheel into winter brings us into a season of chill and darkness. Alongside our ancestors, we look forward to contrasting this season with light and warmth. This is the season of winter, where candles are aflame, warmth is found around the hearth, and delights are shared with friends and family as we await the return of light. 
 
Spring | Ostara & Beltane:
As Spring blossoms we find ourselves nearing the transitional time between the hibernating depths of Winter and the delicate emergence of new life. We take this time as an opportunity to pause and gather ourselves as we enter a new season, allowing ourselves to go gentle and slow and looking to the land and our ancestors for examples of how to do this in the most grace-filled and celebratory ways. 
 
Summer | Midsommar & Lammas:
The Sun, which has been steadily growing in strength since the Winter Solstice, will be at its full power and peak. Summer is a time to celebrate and wholeheartedly accept the invitation to be outside and in communion with the vibrant energy of life in nature at this of year. 
 
Autumn | Mabon & Samhain:
The season of autumn is certainly one of harvest and celebration, but it also denotes the beginning of the darker half of the year. During this time, accounting and preparing for the times gone and ahead, as well as honoring one’s beloved dead are powerful practices rooted in breath, body, and bones.
 
 
 
 
What is Nourishing Kin?
nourish: to feed or care for
kin: one's family or relations
 
Nourishing Kin Circle gatherings will focus on rekindling awareness and reverence of earth-based and ancestral practices of Northwestern European origin. With a focus on education and connection with community, we will focus on the repair and restoration of relationships with kin of all kinds: body, spirit, earth, ancestors, and community.
 
Who is the circle for?
Nourishing Kin Circle is a space for those who are ready to step into deeper ancestral awareness and connection with the sacred. Because this space was created with awareness for women who are deconstructing from Mormonism, some topics will be specific to that context, but those of all backgrounds are encouraged to attend. 
 
Presentations and discussions will have a breadth of focus and will include conversations around topics such as: matrifocal iterations of the Divine, generational grief, anti-racism, cultural appropriation, colonization, diaspora, queer inclusion and awareness, the history and practice of ancient wise women, and creating inclusive sisterhood communities.
 
Simply put, if you are looking for resources and a supportive community focused on social awareness, spiritual awakening, and generational repair, welcome. We will find our way home together.
