Full Moon Water Circles
Let’s explore the elements of fire and water together, revisiting them each month to see how far we’ve journeyed into this enticing mystery. In person, by invitation only.
Aura Soma Introduction
Color is part of our everyday signature of being, both in our own bodies, emotions, minds, and spirits, and in the world around us. Come learn more about Aura Soma, a modern rebirth of an ancient wisdom system embodied in color (sound, dance, play, music) and body oils. An energy system with physical body care products organized to support personal growth and transformation, Aura Soma links to a network of color for change. Each month we will explore a different aspect of this ancient-modern color system. Topics include Rescue Bottles, Pomanders, Quintessences, Four-Bottle Readings, and more. Email kirstenbohl at protonmail dot com for an updated schedule. Free, open with pre-registration.
Four Worlds: Personal Spirals
How has your life evolved over time? Investigate patterns in your personal and collective timeline through magic, art, and play. Trace and color moments in your lifeline: in the worlds of fire (spirit), air (mind), water (emotion), and earth (physical plane). Meet others and hear aspects of their journeys they wish to share. Bring art supplies for tracing and coloring, such as markers or colored pencils. Let’s connect the dots into a spiral that deepens over time. Online, by request.
Meeting Your Resistance
Hard to make the changes you want? Meet your resistance and befriend it. We will explore many methods of playing with your creative potential when it is tripping you up. Bring a thorny tangle you’d like to ease. Pick one to start with. You may find once you unravel one conundrum, others loosen, too. Come prepared to dance, move, draw, color, and vocalize your song of (as the Muppets would say) “Movin’ Right Along.” Hint: Love is the prime mover, always…. Online, by request.
Arts as Metronome for Daily Life
Which creative expression draws you: coloring, painting, clay, collecting Nature objects, dance? We will step into a shared space in which each child plays with different modes of artistic expression to find a daily rhythm and purpose. If preferred, the class will center on the same modality for all participants for a more unified and holistic experience. For children ages 3-8. Online by request, with an adult caregiver nearby. May be adapted for in person, depending on the modality that is chosen. Sliding scale $20-$50 per child with a maximum of three children total.
Dream Queries: Ask and Ye Shall Receive
Ever wonder what your dreaming self can show you if you send a nightly invitation? Come ready to write a beautiful invitation card (or three or four…) to your sleeping self, for growth and change. Perfect for the darker months! Online, by request.
Climate Writing Workshop
Many are distressed at changes in the climate: both inner and outer weather are severely disrupted right now. Can we enter into a harmony with the changes that are coming? Do we dare? What would happen if we opened ourselves to this disruptive change? Let us hear the Earth and her helpers, plants, animals, storms, wildfires. What can they tell us about adapting to micro and macro bursts of evolution? Online, by request.
Web of Life
What would happen if we showed ourselves how we are connected to every other person and living being on the planet? What would it take to recognize the doorways in our lives when they present themselves, and to walk through them in Love? Who are our companions on this journey and how do we identify them? Come and play in a spirit of Love with new and old friends. Online, by request.
Centering and Protection
How do we find our center? How do we stand in love with clear, gentle, even, strong boundaries? Where is the energy to stay heart-centered and open, living transparently, in view of suffering? What is our best personal stance (each day, month, year…hour, minute, blink of an eye) to support our stability and creative change? How do we discern when we are called to serve — including when our service is (as the poet John Milton said on his blindness) to “only stand and wait”? What is the chain of life and how do we link in? Let us be creative playmates to one another on this caring, careful, beloved path. Online, by request.
Voices of the Flowers
We surround ourselves with flowers for their beauty, color, scent, and the joy they bring us. The loving gardeners at Green Hope Farms have cooperated with the flowers to bring us their essences. Explore flowers as a way to support your desired transformations in a gentle, heart-centered, playful way. Free, open with pre-registration.
Woods and River Playtime
Do you like to play with the elements: earth (the body & the planet), water (emotions), air (your mind, the collective will), fire (spirit world)? Come visit the woods and river and breathe deeply, and step lightly. Let’s see who we meet and who greets us when we pass by. Let’s greet these “spirit friends” in return with playful singing, movement, dance, and humming. Come ready to walk in puddles, mud, and brambly places. Kids, bring a playful adult for your companion. We will invite our spirit friends to join us as we walk. In person, by request. Class size and composition negotiable, $75/class minimum.
Magicians’ Tea: Psychospiritual Dimensions of Perimenopause

Meet many interesting allies, resources, and playful and creative opportunities along the way. Includes a list of physical OTC remedies recommended by Dr. Crystal Ellen Honeycutt, ND; a set of practices and mindsets for approaching midlife with joy and aplomb; and reflections by licensed acupuncturist Dr. Li-Lan Hsiang Weiss. Online, by request.
Healing Circle: For the Planet
Let’s gather together and send healing energy to wherever in our lived environment needs it the most. We will explore different ways of doing this, including interacting with the elements; heart-centered intention; and physical movement and play. Be ready to walk! This is living, moving circle. In person, by request.
Healing Circle: For a Person
Let’s use our tender, healing graces to gather in support of someone who needs our healing love. With prior permission, we will connect with Earth Mother energies and send Love where it is needed most.

TESTIMONIALS:
I participated in a lunch with Kirsten and several friends on the topic of perimenopause. The wisdom Kirsten shared with us that day has literally changed my life. It has allowed me to take this transition seriously, and to give my body and spirit the support that I need to feel as good as I can during what is turning out to be a time of intense physical and emotional changes. I had never heard the information Kirsten shared on that day from anyone else, and the supportive and companionable environment of a meeting in a small group of women in her warm and inviting home allowed me to be open to her message of self-care and transformation. – B.A.
I love it all. The kids are ecstatic. – a parent (about a fairy party outdoors for kids and adults)
