Dear Ones, 

I am looking forward to our Red Thread Gathering in May with great anticipation! It seems that an experience of sisterhood, where you can really remove the invisible cape and be authentically YOU, is what we are in need of. When our ancestors were here, gathering for every celebration, rites of passage, as well as birth, death and other events they considered sacred, ritual was a daily part of life. 

For me, while much of my business is online, I feel deeply called to create sacred space where women can gather. Hence, our campus, museum and studio, known as MUSEA Center. I really LOVE inviting women, both local and from all over the world, to come be together in person. There is a difference when we can hold hands, speak eye to eye and witness each other with our whole heart, which simply isn't the same in the virtual realm. And HOLD the red thread!

I feel so blessed to have my wonderful friend and teacher, Dr. Mary McCrystal come and share her gifts of ritual and ceremony. When Mary is in the room, it is filled with sacred beauty, as you will see. I am so grateful to have her in my life at this time, and we have been on each other's red thread for over twenty years. Mary is also, a potent therapist, painter, and Intentional Creativity Teacher. Another dear friend since childhood, Lavender Grace, will offer her skills of intuitive drum song – an on going tradition that is rooted in the rich history of women. AND Each woman will hand paint her own drum, which you can use to lead your own circles or simply for your own use, to connect with the great mystery. We will work together on accessing the symbols and colors that are perfect for your next place on the path and your personal medicine.

This experience will include connecting in Red Thread Circle and tuning into your piece of the Red Thread, that which is yours to cause and to create, paint, dance, eat good food together and more! We look forward to you joining us and receiving the beauty of gathering with women in sisterhood along the Red Thread.

Let's INVOKE a new era of feminine power, wisdom, song and sharing. The world needs YOUR SPECIFIC MEDICINE. 

with gratitude for our connection,

What is the the Red Thread? At the most basic, it is simply a red thread used in an intentional connection. A Red Thread is a symbolic and literal tool for transformation. Leading experiences with a Red Thread includes circles, conversations, and ceremonies to create a powerful feeling of connection and belonging for you and your guests. 

From birth to death...and all the bumps in the road along the journey...many of us long for initiation experiences to mark the passing of time. Whether that is a celebration or a trauma, or the marking of passing from one relationship to another, human beings seek out delineation in cycles.  

We want to know where we have been and then put it behind us and move into a new space - yet we are often at a loss for ritual. Red Thread Ceremonies create the context for living a life well loved, and being able to provide initiatory experiences for others and yourself.

The Red Thread is a sacred technology : A sign of connection + destiny + desire + protection + transformation  

In our circles we say 'tug on the red thread' if you need to feel us with you, and in an instant, we are there.  

When we call circle together, you can feel the love and the sisterhood. This is the kind of gathering that changes the way you feel about Red Thread Circles and perhaps gathering your own beloveds into circle. Come Join us!
