Story Art
I’m Here For You
As are the long line of ancestors that stand behind you.
Sisters of this earth.
Come sit with me.
Lightly touch your finger tips to the ground.
Our sister tree, brings her rings of wisdom.
Shows us a deep rootedness
And at the same time a reaching upwards, ever slowly, surely.
Her strong centre reminds us of our own footing, our own resilience.
This time has challenged us--
One ring in this tree.
One cycle around the sun.
Remember you are loved.
Remember you have inside the strength to stand with your sisters.
Our fires burn bright.
All held by this earth.
Remember, I am here for you.

Between Roots and Rings
These tree women are strong, grounded. They connect and communicate through their roots— nourishing each other, expressing their needs and warning each other of danger. Each ring tells a story and situates her present within her life’s history— her periods of growth, times of being stuck, her traumas, when she flourished and where her scars are. Her unique story is found within and between these lines. Their story is intertwined through the spaces between them.
Raven Voice
The voice inside our heads that tricks us into thinking we are not worthy. The raven is intelligent, adaptable, and can imitate human speech. It can be very convincing. It takes strength to notice this voice, take a step back from it, and be kind to ourselves. Beyond this voice is hope, love, and wholeness. These brave women work with the raven trickster to help others navigate these complexities and connect to their true worth.
Eskwukwem: On the Shore
Coarse sand beneath her feet,
Sister mountains stand behind her,
Ancient memories wash over,
As soft waves repeat their stories on the shoreline,
Layering, repeating, gently moving,
A place to forage, to gather, to greet,
It’s how it was and how it is,
Ancestors guide,
Patterns repeat,
In this place,
On the shoreline,
She watches and she waits,
She is steadfast through time,
Enduring the cycles,
Her heart beats strong,
She host us with her love,
Bringing ancient wisdoms,
‘We are all one,’ she whispers,
Stone, earth, fire, wind,
Bird, fish, forest, animals,
Life connected across oceans, air, and land,
One home— one family.
Moon Woman
There is an ebb and flow to the struggles and joys in life- the cycles of the moon show us this. She experiences these pains along with the joyful moments. Struggle is a part of life- it is inevitable. It is a part of being human, what connects her to others. But, in the darkness, she has a light that shines inside her. When she trusts herself and ceases to resist or try to control— her light shines brighter. She relaxes into the flow of life, living each moment in the moment. Not anticipating, being patient and allowing. She chooses to surrender.
Hummingbird Woman
A quiet sadness
Holding
Hiding
Soft medicine provides
A slow release and a supported heart
Ancient Stone Medicine: Moonstone
She is ancient--her energies gathered through time, her wisdom earned through the years. She is solid, holding space for the inward journey—drawing out hidden truths so balance, nourishment and tranquility can be found. She is waiting for you to seek out stillness, accept her guidance, and find your own inner knowing.
The animals, birds, and insects have many medicines to share with us-- transformation, flight, perspective, protection, quiet, companionship, and strength.
