Being in Communion

Kinship & Animism The Womb Continuum Rites of Passage Embodiment

Welcome and Vær Hilset
I’m Kaya and my wish is that you experience the enchantment of loving Earth and all of Earth kin with the deepest devotion. The folklore and mythmaking I offer here is dedicated to that prayer.

I am devoted to the Earth, guided by her cycles and beings. My path is that of listening to the deep rhythms of life and death. 

I apprentice directly with my wise and patient body. With my own inner seasons, waves and cycles. 

I believe we all hold the keys and codes we need and long for. To reconcile and integrate the past, and lovingly give birth to the future. 

I am deligthted and ignited by the mystery we are all part of. And dedicated to showing up and greeting what I am given with love.

The Living Body &
The Living Earth

Your inner and outer ecology are living systems. Your body house and hold you throughout life, as the physical vessel for your humanness, and through it you are always in some kind of connection with your environment.

Consciously engaging with your experience, cultivating presence and communing with yourself and your world grows belonging and kinship.

Walking the path of remembrance, recognizing the beings and beingness of the land, and our place within the Earth community, fosters acceptance and gratitude. You can actively grow your devotion to love. And nothing is more powerful then real wild love.

There will always be cycles of emergence and descent. But by being in communion you can embrace life as it is, through a magical relational exploration.

We are all here together

Most of us weren't taught how to listen, how to discern or how to be in loving relationship with our bodies and the natural world. 

We all long to yield to the love that our bodies, the Earth and the beings of nature so genuinely have for us.

You are not alone! Your cells, ancestors, spirits and the beings of nature are here with you, waiting to support you in surrendering and receiving the reciprocity that naturally arises from allowing yourself to be the unique being you are, in relationship with your world.

By consciously consecrating the transitions you pass through, gently witnessing and fiercely loving the being you are, you can surrender in trust and allow presence to initiate you into wild raw grace again and again.

Rites of Passage

Marking the significant transitions of life has always been a part of being human. We all need to be witnessed. We all need community. Rites of Passage can be small personal rituals, or grand communal ceremonies. I teach the art of conducting, and I co-create with you based on your needs.

Relational Herbalism

What if, instead of projecting the paradigm of symptomatic relief onto herbalism, you based your interactions with plants on relationship? What if instead of searching for ‘use’ or ‘properties’, you befriended plants and your body in a way that you can navigate health and wellness together?

The Womb Continuum

Menstruation, pleasure, contraception, fertility, pregnancy, abortion, birth, postpartum, menopause. All is natural, all is opportunity to be real, practice magic and embrace the inner seasons of life and death. Befriending your body is an act of rebellion against status quo and brings more love into the world.
