Bluebeard: The Key to Knowing
Bluebeard is a story about initiation. The key is her key to opening the doors of greater knowing, truth and an opportunity to sharpen her instincts, intuition and senses. And while many may say “curiosity kills the cat” I disagree. When combined with good reason, it is precisely curiosity that can even save a life …
Beauty and Her Beast
The idea of a house and a white fence are not what binds a couple for a lifetime; it is our ability to adapt in any climate and adjust through the changing shapes, within and without, as we walk along the wilderness, side by side.

Women’s Rites of Passage
Innocent girl, virgin, maiden, mother, crone, lover, priestess, enchantress, seductress, warrior, healer, mystic, storyteller, queen, wild woman. All of these we carry within us, sometimes simultaneously; and yet life carries us, time comes, and we change naturally like the cycles of the land; we enter into a different phase of our life, one, that should be supported, appreciated, honoured and celebrated…
The Secret Threads
