FIRE WOMAN Cultivating a relationship with fire. Learning through nature based and embodiment skills
Practicing earth-based skills commits us to perseverance and patience.

In the slowing down we remember the rhythm of nature and where we come from. We are Marie and Claudelle. Women born crawling close to earth like you. Marie was born and raised in the far West of British Columbia, breathing in the salty salish seas. Claudelle in the East under the canopy of sugar maples and Birch forests in Quebec. Forever changed by initiations given by the speaking land and the mentorship of incredible humans and their mentors. They are driven by the expansive opportunity we all have to connect closely with our animal and plant kin and started FIRE WOMAN to open others to their own connection to naturalist practices

Claudelle Charette and Marie Whimsy share years of experience in nature-based schooling and wilderness settings. Both educated in the 8-shields lineage, their vision is to inspire people of all ages into the wonderful world of wind, animal, fire, water, bone, flesh, fir and forest.

I am thrilled for this up coming workshop. In collaboration with Ancestral Rays at the Wild Hawthorn homestead on Gabriola Island. This coming Oct 24

Together, we’ll learn to make and tend fire, while being in relationship with all who surround us: land, women, and our own body wisdom. We’ll tend to the beauty of being in a circle with women, tending both our inner and outer fire. We’ll also tend to our ancestral wisdom through intuition and by slowing down to be present with one another.

These last 4 months we've been gathering every second weeks to connect and tend to fire. We fed fire with our stories, dreams and offerings. Fire guided us on how to tend to our inner fire and to create a spark to bring into life.

We slowed down, listened, and tuned in. Where is fire living in you? We tended to our inner fire as much as our outer fire. Fire was offering us our own reflection. In those weeks many got the chance to finish their own bow drill kits and by the end of the sessions some of them even got a coal!

Every time I am very touched to see how much bringing fire into life from our own energy and rubbing pieces of wood against each other is really a connective practice that awaken memories and a depth inside of us that no words can explain. Tears, joy, empowerment, awe and reverence.

Thanks to all the women that showed up to this guild.
More will come in the fall... When the fire ban is over.

Story of the month -February (2 guilds).
I am so grateful for all the women that showed up to the guild to cultivate and tend a deeper relationship with Fire.

Bringing our voices together with songs, our hearts and mind with gratitude.
Circling around the fire
Moving slow. Slowing down to the rhythm of the tree, to spark up the life force energy into our bow drill coal
It is a lot of work, but with attention and patience we get there.

It is a real delight to be gathering around a shared fire with sisters and learning from one another.

We even have a baby joining us! what a treat :) 🔥🥰

Attunement with the wild 🐦🦉🐻

Since I learned bird language, I’ve been able to notice when someone is approaching before I see them. I’ve seen more predators and animals such as owls, raccoons, minks, hawks, bear, even the hidden cats.

It’s very simple: we just need to attune our ears back to this universal language that all wildlife uses. Here is a video of what we will explore and practice.

Sound ON
Have you also noticed more bird activity these days?🐦
More songs? More calls?

It’s been three days now that, between 4 and 5 pm, a flock of American robins has been coming around my place. A good mix of females, males, and younger ones. Are they starting to establish their territory?

This is a very good time of year to start attuning our ears to the language of the birds. It’s also a good time to begin tracking local and migrating birds. Where are they going to nest?🪺

The first Attunement with the Wild Guild gathering will focus on bird language, and we will become familiar with their common calls, attuning our ears to what is happening on the land.

📅Saturday, February 7, 10:30 am

Gratitude to cycles, to the dream and the unseen.

It’s been a while since you've heard from Fire woman. Indeed, lots of change happened this last fall. Marie felt inspired to move towards other projects, leaving the Fire Woman project in the good hands of Claudelle.

Adding to this, after a rich summer living in the deep forest by the kokshila river, tending relationship with the bears and barred owl, I (Claudelle) relocated myself to Salt Spring Island.

I took the winter time to mimic the bears and took advantage to rest and feel into the new creativity and inspirations to come.

So here I am!

With new offerings for women, adult of all genders and for children :

The Guilds,

Those guilds are being offered at a very low cost and will happen in the north end of salt spring island:

Fire Woman guild

Fire Woman guild is happening bi-monthly. Every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month. 10AM- 1pm.

This bi-monthly guild is a place for women to gather and connect with the ancestral ways of making fire. This is a space for us all to share our skills with fire.

Attunement with the wild guild

Attunement with the wild will be open for all genders. Every first Saturday of the month. 10:30 AM- 1PM.
This guild is a place to come and connect deeper with the wild. A place where we will quiet the mind, connect with our wilder selves, and tune into our body radar (intuition).

Child Mentoring

I am also offering Private Nature Child Mentoring on Salt Spring Island. In these sessions I will focus on the element of fire. Fire making and using tools safely.
