Earthwise Mother: Winter
The Dreaming Matriarch
This is a page where those who are accepted will have access to essential info like zoom link, passwords for virtual event etc.
“It’s animist, heartfelt, and rooted in the rhythms of the land and cycles of matrescence to nourish and inspire your journey as mother, your family, and your lineage.”
“Here we connect with the Matriarch, not as a fading crone, but as the powerful rooted elder, who can touch the stars and the great mystery unafraid and unapologetically, she who stands strong in who she is, and sits on her throne as the center of her family, village, and greater community.
Can you sense her in your bones, the one who stands tall and rooted, wisdom in every fold of textured skin? She is the voice of the wise women before you, and that of your own knowing, braided together. I invite you now to listen, trust, and dream with her.
As winter wraps the land in quiet and the trees stand bare, the Matriarch takes her place by the hearth. She is the keeper of deep time, the weaver of stories, the one who remembers. In this season, we turn inward towards the silence that holds the seeds of the year to come, towards the dreaming that shapes our future, and the wisdom carried within our bones.”

About your guide
Hello lovely mama, I’m Colleen.
I’ve spent the past two decades walking with women and families through the hands of functional medicine, herbalism, eco-somatics, and of my own journey into and through motherhood.
This offering brewed in my heart over those first four sleep-deprived aching and beautiful years of early motherhood initiation, tending, and messy reformation. I’ve poured my love, sweat and tears into this medicine basket of offerings that’s shaped into Earthwise Mother Seasonal Circles.
Each season gathers together so much of what I’ve learned, craved, and am living through in order to feel grounded, nourished, supported and inspired in today’s busy overwhelming world. I want all mothers to feel rooted, empowered, connected to their intuition and deep wisdom; because we need our Mothers to thrive so we can speak up for our children, ourselves, and our communities and world.
There is so much healing, guidance and beauty in living cyclically, as we were designed as well as the earth. And through reconnecting threads of wisdom from our ancestors, the plants and rituals they tended, we can weave the wise ways of our past with our modernity to better navigate this wild world feeling nourished. Earthwise Mother: Winter is my heart offering to you and mama earth.
In a world of busyness, overwhelm and depletion, I hope that you’ll join us in this potent remembering what is real, true, and meaningful for ourselves, our family and our futures.
