Winter Portal

I am deeply rooted within nature's divine cycles. I am part of the evolutionary shifts happening now.

Welcome, Wild Ones! The Winter Portal is where you will find links to all of our winter content. It’s your jumping off point to explore whatever here calls to you. Please remember you don’t have to read all of this! Each of these sections simply provides an invitation to explore one aspect of winter’s magic and energetics. More will be added throughout the season, and the Telegram group is a space where you can share and reflect on what comes up for you throughout the season as you peruse the offerings here.
