The Humble Hermit

Hello magickal folk of the Invermere area! ✨ Unfortunately due to the wildfire smoke descending in the valley, I've chosen to postpone my outdoor events for this month.

Our current air quality is a concern for gathering outdoors during this time. Anyone who has purchased tickets, I've reached out to you via email. Please check your inbox!

The New Moon Ceremony on private land in Invermere will now be on the next New Moon on September 10th 🌑✨

The upcoming Meditation in the Garden at Groundswell Community Greenhouse & Gardens will also be moved to next month's event rotation and will be on September 15th!

Save these dates 🌼🌿

The upcoming Intuitive Art Class at Carm Haven Studios is still on since we can be cozy inside! Tickets are available through the ticket link on the event 💖

Wishing everyone healthy lungs during this smokey wildfire season, and blessings to anyone effected by the wildfires across the lands. Prayers to our earth mother as she moves through these fires 🙏🏻

✨🌸 August Magick 🌸✨

Another month filled to the brim with magickal community offerings, travelling with my art, my drum and my bowls and sharing it all with you beautiful people 🥰✨ my heart is already sparkling thinking of all of the magickal people I will meet along my travels this month!

This weekend my love and I travel to Lucent Festival to be with this wholesome and grounding community of families, couples, men, women and children all enjoying the wonders of nature, yoga and togetherness. This festival was a beautiful grounding point in previous market & festival tours.

✨🌿 Life Lately: July Edition 🌿✨

Life has been full full full! Enjoy this photo/video dump of life lately 🌼🌿 These hands have been busy. Plenty of pottery is being crafted and shared with magickal people 💖✨ I'm travelling around sharing some whimsy from festival to market to festival! And gearing up for Lucent Festival as we speak. I also recently restocked made In The Mountains with some beautiful creations! Home renovations are nearing their end as summer begins to wilt. Which is relieving as soon we get to cozy up in our home and admire all of our hard work so far 🥹

The farmers markets are popping off with beautifully colored and delicious produce, which is my favorite thing to do each week. The garden is a jungle, some blooms are spent while others carry on. The raspberry patch has yielded more raspberries than we could have ever dreamt of. And mother Earth continues to push out the beauty of summer for just a few more weeks. Harvey's season has begun with the turning of the wheel and passing of lughnasadh 🌾🧺🔥

Community offerings are in full swing and I'm delighted that they have been well loved by the invermere and area community 🙏🏻 it's an honor to share my magick with the people, whether that be guided meditation, the drum, the quartz bowls or my love for intuitive art creation. Each offering is poured from a well of love. I'm so thankful to see many enriched by these precious moments shared.
Stay tuned for my upcoming offerings happening in August ✨

And the hands keep crafting, the markets continue to blossom and the people continue to gather while magick brews in late summer. I wish you a beautiful august full of adventures, sunshine and time spent doing things that make you sparkle 🥰🌼🌿

✨🌿 Market Magick 🌿✨

I'm out sharing some whimsy at the Invermere Farmers and Artists Market today! It's a beautiful morning for a market! The weather is perfect, people are rolling in and I'm surrounded by amazingly talented vendors. I'm feeling blessed to be here sharing my creations alongside such cool people 🥰✨

Come find me sharing my handcrafted pinch pottery, ritual oils, aura alchemist and earthern whimsy! 🌿✨

🌿🌼 Market & Festival Season! 🌼🌿

And so it begins! Early mornings packing the van, checking off everything on my lists and crafting away to create beautiful things to share with beautiful people!

Market & Festival season is kicking off for me over here at THH and it all began last weekend at Reclaiming Evolution Festival 🌸🌿

This festival was full of the beauty of community. It was soul nourishing to see so many people from all walks of life coming together in a family environment and sharing experiences with one another. Young couples with new kids, people who came alone, friends who came together, couples who came to become closer. Swarms of children running around making friends. Carefully curated workshops for everyone, men, women, kiddos and couples. And so many familiar faces!

I really enjoyed witnessing this community and all of its beauty and friendship. Everyone was so welcoming and it was beautiful to see eachother in a place where the masks can fall and we can enjoy the magic of being together. I met so many genuine people here and witness many moments of community coming together. Whether it was people passing around and loving on someone baby while they were in a workshop, or everyone being kind and patient with eachother and whatever elements we were facing.

The managed to make it through an insane amount of mosquitos, intensely hot and humid weather and a tornado warning/insane wind and rain storm. As a vendor I greatly appreciated everyone who helped us batten down the hatches in the vendor village that night. At Reclaiming Evolution Festival everyone genuinely cares for one another and we all came together in moments of challenge. This festival reminded me there are soany good people out in the world 🥹

Thank you for having my creations and I Reclaiming Evolution Festival and thank you so much Haley Squires for being the best assistant and braving the elements with me all weekend! It wouldn't have been nearly as great without you 💖

Up next Lucent Festival! 🌿✨

✨🎨 Intuitive Art Class 🎨✨
July 26th 6pm-8pm at Carm Haven Studios

Join Jasper at the cute and cozy Carmen Lewis for Intuitive Art Class! Carm Haven Studios is a local paint your own pottery studio and art supplies store located in the heart of downtown Invermere.

Intuitive Art Class teaches a unique kind of artistic expression. It asks you to let go of expectation and judgement and embrace who you are in the moment. Tapping into your creative energy and laying it all out on the paper. We aren't learning fine arts techniques, or how to paint specific subject matter. We are learning to experience a flow state of creation that can often be abstract and imperfect. That is the point, to embrace a piece of art that is organic, raw and made in the moment. The more you intuitively create, the more you will learn about yourself as a person and as an artist.

In the July Intuitive Art Class we will be creating Affirmation Flags! Colorful watercolor paper flags with inspiring affirmations written on them. Something you can hang in your space that will bring forth joy and positive messages in your home.

Register your spot to attend on www.thehumblehermit.ca ✨

🌿🌸 New lumpy drippy Mugs 🌸🌿

I recently got my hands on some new glazes and decided to craft up some super textured lumpy bumpy mugs to try them out on!

Umm... I LOVE these!!

The lighter green is "Beetlewing" by Mayco from their new stoneware line.

The darker green/brown is "Mood Ring" again, by Mayco from their new stoneware line.

Both of these glazes are supposed to do neat things as they break over texture. I'm really enjoying the cool drippy lumpy look to these mugs. You can see each finger print of mine in the clay, bringing a whole new definition to "hand crafted".

Beetlewing is my favorite! It's beautiful and the thicker it goes on the cooler the results get. Mood ring is a bit of a catfish glaze tbh 🫣 I think I need to play with it more. Though I do enjoy the earthy green/brown vibe to it.

It's so fun to play with new glazes! I have a couple other new glazes I'm playing with, I'll have to share those with you soon.

More to come from the Pottery Portal...

✨🌑 New Moon Ceremony 🌑✨

This offering to the water, the mountains, the trees and the people was something truly special.

Held by the mountains, overlooking the Columbia River, with eagle and raven flying overhead. The wind brushing our faces and whisping our hair, the clovers and plush grass giving us a soft place to lay upon the earth.

Woman next to woman next to woman settling into some time carved out just for themselves. Slowing down from the day to day. We gathered in ritual, setting intentions for the days to come and leaning into the cyclical magick of the moon. Oh how she carries us from chapter to chapter. Night by night, whether in the shadow of her newness or the glow of her fullness.

Ritual, drum, song and sound from the Quartz Bowls carried us through an evening together in nature, soaking up the medicine of community and ceremony.

Blessings abound on this new moon 🌑✨ a soft landing amongst the rolling tides of cancer season. Gentle or great shifts within the self as we pray for what is to come. Travelling deeper within to find the answers we seek, and coming together to love the land as it has loved us so.

We meet again on August 12th as the energies shift into Leo season, exuberant and bold.

🔥🌑 New Moon Ceremony 🌑🔥
Wednesday August 12th • 7pm
Private Land, Invermere

Registration available soon.

🌸🌑 New Moon Blessings 🌑🌸

Floating through the waters of Cancer season, I find myself nearing the edge of a new beginning. As the shadow of the moon hangs darkly in the sky, I wonder and wander deeper within myself and the cosmic energies that exist when I close my eyes and exhale my breath.

Ahhhhh. Shhhhh.

Toes in the water of the womb of feeling, raw and uncanny. I've been here before, drowning in feelings, or so it feels. As I tilt my head to the sky and witness the stars as they twinkle, I find my footing in this journey, coming back down to earth, yet tethered to some romantic pulse in the sky.

This spirit of mine is pulled between two worlds. One longing to reach far beyond this earthen plain to touch the magick of the unknown and otherworldly. One that expands beyond what this body knows as it has lived on this earth.

The other, she is grounded and rooted in this body and this earth. Reveling in the wisdom of the ever cycling systems that nature dances in. She knows to trust. She moves slowly, and sometimes simply stands still for a while. Honoring the process and soaking up the moments of magick along the way. A student of great teachings from the green.

Ooooooo. Shhhhhh.

Coming home to the knowings that Cancer season seems to swell open. Intuitive, master of the oceans of emotion, not to tame but to experience feeling into it. Takes time to think, yet also quick to act. Thoughtfully meticulous, and constantly riding the inner tides. Willing and able, yet quarrelling with thinking and doing. Beautiful polarity, with a vast and wide scope of emotional intelligence.

I'm riding the waves and kissing the waters as the planets move toward an amazing pairing of motion. A cosmic cradle is woven in the sky as Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto cuddle together with shockingly similar degrees. This cosmic energy paired with the Cancer New Moon is gifting us a very special kind of new beginning, an opportunity to step through the veil of lifetimes. Supported and encouraging growth in ways that feel like tough love blended with trust and wise nudges.

The shadow of the moon looks down upon us lovingly, as we step into our becoming.
