Upcoming Events
In Person Sessions in Nature
I felt the call to create a sanctuary in nature and am excited to begin sharing it with others.
Nestled among the trees and with a fully screened-in gazebo, this peaceful space is supported by the energy of the forest—a place to reconnect with yourself, nature, and the wisdom that emerges when we slow down and listen.
I'm now welcoming clients for nature-immersed spiritual guidance sessions, Higher Self Readings, spirit-guided meditation journeys, and energetic resets.
Fire and moon rituals, shamanic drumming journeys, and small group ceremonies are also available. The space is magical day and night!
Located in Dunrobin, just west of Ottawa, ON.
Summer Special now available: https://www.wildrising.ca/promotions
Would love to hear from you if this sparks your curiosity, gives you a nudge, or resonates on a deeper level.
See you in the forest.

Gifts of Ancestors, Candlelit All Saints Day Women's Circle
November 1 - All Saints' Day - has long been a time to light candles, gather in remembrance, and honour those whose lives have shaped our own. Across Europe and many ancestral traditions, communities have marked this sacred season by visiting graves, sharing stories, offering prayers, and remembering that we are part of an unbroken chain stretching across time.
Join us for a candlelit evening of reflection, ritual, and sisterhood connection as we gather in sacred circle to honour the gifts, wisdom, and resilience passed down through our lineages. Through ancestral song, shamanic drumming, tea, community, and contemplative practices, we will explore what it means to carry the light of those who came before us.
Held in the historic setting of St. Mary's in Dunrobin, this intimate women's circle offers a warm and mystical space to remember, reconnect, and awaken the ancient light that continues to live through us.
Full Buck Moon Drumming Journey
Update: Indoor location added in case of rain.
As we move toward the Full Buck Moon on Tuesday July 28, there is a noticeable shift in energy around us. Significantly, this year's Buck Moon arrives on the opening day of the powerful Lion's Gate portal—a period of heightened spiritual energy that peaks on August 8 and is associated with courage, intuition, manifestation, and stepping more fully into your authentic path.
The Buck Moon is traditionally associated with growth, strength, and regeneration. Named for the time when young bucks regrow their antlers, it reminds us that periods of transformation often require us to shed what no longer fits so that new growth can emerge. Combined with the Lions Gate energies, this is a potent time to reconnect with your inner wisdom, release what is holding you back, and align with what is calling you forward.
I invite you to join us in circle for a Full Buck Moon Shamanic Drumming Journey on Tuesday, July 28 at 7:30-8:30pm. Weather permitting, we will gather on the beach in Constance Bay beneath the moon and open sky. In the event of rain or storms, we will meet in the beautiful historic St. Mary's Church in Dunrobin and add the transformational power of storm energy to help us cleanse and renew.
Our evening will include an opening circle in community, a grounding meditation, a shamanic drumming journey, energetic clearing, reflection, and a closing circle.
This gathering is offered by donation ($20 suggested). Space is limited.
If you feel called to join us, email [email protected] and I will send you the details and add you to the event email list, where the final location and weather updates will be shared.
I'm excited to gather in circle beneath this powerful moon.
Smudging Bundle Workshop
Join us for a peaceful morning in forest gardens as we gather in community to create your own personalized herbal smudging bundles.
Surrounded by the energy of nature, you'll choose from a beautiful selection of native botanicals to craft bundles that reflect your own intentions - whether for cleansing, grounding, protection, gratitude, or simply celebrating this season of abundance. As we create together, we'll enjoy WildRising herbal tea, connect with the wisdom of the plants, and take time to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with ourselves.
No experience is needed, and all materials are provided. You'll leave with 3 custom-made bundles, a deeper connection to the plants, and the heart-opening joy that comes from creating in community and nature.
$65 (all materials and teas incl.)
Come as you are and leave feeling grounded, inspired, and connected.
Email [email protected] to book your spot. Spaces limited for a small group experience.
