Path of Pollen Gatherings

Journeys, Circles & Community Experiences

These gatherings create spaces to listen, experience, imagine, create and explore together.

Through guided journeys, story, ritual, art, reflection, movement and shared conversation, we pay attention to what is moving through our lives and what may be asking to be seen, expressed or understood.

Some gatherings take us inward. Some bring us into relationship with nature, dreams, symbols or the unseen. Others invite us to witness one another through grief, transition, creativity and change.

Each gathering develops in its own way, shaped by the people who arrive and the
conversation that begins among us.

Community Witnessing & Threshold Work

Honouring the moments that change us.

Life is marked by thresholds—beginnings, endings, losses, initiations, unexpected turns, and experiences
that change how we understand ourselves and our lives.

These gatherings create space for those experiences to be witnessed. Through story, reflection, ritual and
compassionate presence, we listen to what has happened, what is still moving within us, and what may be emerging.

Sometimes simply having our experience received by others allows something new to become possible—meaning, integration, expression, or a clearer sense of where we are now.


Walking the Path of 8

Following the movement of experience into wisdom and back into life.

The Path of 8 is a way of weaving wisdom into existence.

The Path of 8 follows the movement of the lemniscate—the figure eight—as a living pathway through experience.

Listening • Receiving • Discerning • Descending • Embodying • Relating • Transmitting • Returning

We listen for what is arriving, receive it, discern what it is asking of us, and allow it to move more deeply into lived experience. What has been received can then enter relationship, find expression, and return to Life carrying something that did not exist in quite the same way before.

Through guided experience, reflection, movement and creative exploration, we follow this continuous weaving between inner experience and participation in the world.

The Path of 8 is a way of weaving wisdom into existence.


Collective Dreaming in the Hive

Collective Dreaming in the Hive brings people together to explore dreams, images, questions, ideas and
possibilities within a shared field.

Through guided journeying, reflection, conversation and creative exploration, we notice what each person
brings and what begins to emerge through the gathering itself.

Like a hive, the intelligence of the gathering is created through participation. An image carried by one person may open something in another. A story may become a doorway. Separate threads begin forming patterns
that none of us could have planned beforehand.

We listen for what is taking shape among us and what may be asking to come into form.



Bee Medicine Woman

Listening to the intelligence of the living world.

Bee Medicine Woman grew from my own encounters with bees and the questions they began opening in me about relationship, communication, community and our participation within the living world.

Through story, guided journey, ceremony, creative practice and time with the natural world, these gatherings invite
us to become more attentive to the forms of intelligence already moving around us.

The bee becomes teacher, pollinator and messenger—not as something we need to imitate, but as a living presence through which we can explore belonging, reciprocity, collective intelligence and the relationships that sustain life.

These gatherings continue to evolve as my own relationship with the bees evolves.

Grail Integrations

Making room for the experiences that change us.

Some experiences change the course of a life.

A near-death or out-of-body experience, spiritual awakening, vision, profound loss, encounter with the unseen, unexpected healing experience, or other life-changing event may leave us carrying something
we don’t yet have language for.

Grail Integrations creates a space where these experiences can be spoken, witnessed and explored without needing to explain them away or immediately decide what they mean.

Through conversation, reflection, story and shared witnessing, we listen for what the experience has opened, what may still be unfolding, and how it is finding its place within the life being lived now.

Sometimes understanding comes much later. The experience continues to live with us until we are ready—or until life gives us another way to meet it.

Seasonal Circles & Ritual Gatherings

Gathering with the rhythms and transitions of Life.

Seasonal Circles bring us together at different points in the year to notice what is changing within us and around us.

Through story, reflection, ritual, music, guided experience, creativity and shared presence, we mark transitions, honour what has been lived, and listen for what the season may be asking of us now.

These gatherings may arise around the turning of the seasons, significant life passages, community needs, or simply the recognition that there are moments when it is meaningful to gather.

Each circle takes its shape from the season, the people who arrive, and what is moving through the gathering.

Gather With Me

New circles, guided journeys, workshops and community gatherings are offered throughout the year on Vancouver Island and online.

Some grow from the Path of Pollen, the Path of 8, Collective Dreaming, Bee Medicine Woman and Grail Integrations. Others emerge through the seasons, the community, and the conversations already unfolding through Life.

If you would like to hear about upcoming gatherings, workshops and events, I invite you to stay connected.
