Upcoming Live Session

Can't make it? The session will be recorded and available after the live event.

In this teaching, elder Twila shares a practice carried through her Apache lineage: healing grief with the help of stones. She has walked a hard road to get here. Through that journey, she found her way back to Mother Earth, and to twenty-one years of sobriety, one stone at a time. Now she opens that path to us.

You will learn to hold a stone as a sacred alliance to help release your grief. How to speak to those you have lost. How to release what you have carried too long, and how to respectfully give that weight back to the Earth so it can be transmuted, gently, in ceremony.

Join us for this special session with Grandmother Twila.
