Who made the world?
Who made the swan, and the black bear?
Who made the grasshopper?
This grasshopper, I mean —
the one who has flung herself out of the grass,
the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,
who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down —
who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.
Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.
Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.
I don't know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?

A Winter Gathering of Grandmothers, Mothers, Sisters 🤍

Sunday, January 18, 2026
3:00 – 5:00 pm
Mount Shasta CA

Madre Sanctuary is a gentle and intentional circle devoted to women across generations, grandmothers, mothers, sisters, who are called to gather in shared presence, listening, and care.

This winter gathering invites us into the quiet wisdom of the season: a time for slowing, remembering, and being held by one another. In a world that often asks us to keep giving, Madre Sanctuary offers a space to receive through council, ritual, and simple human connection.

Let us...
– Sit in council and listen with open hearts
– Honor the lived experiences carried in our bodies and lineages
– Share in grounding rituals connected to earth and season
– Tend grief, gratitude, and remembrance within a supportive container
– Rest in stillness and collective care

This sanctuary welcomes women at all stages of life who feel called to be in community during the winter threshold.

Bring a mug for hot tea.

It's the kids arriving at this Earth school...15 kids! 🐐

Oh my goodness, sooo many cuties!!!

There's been a lot of work of love and trust in tending the herd. New fencing was just installed so the mamas and the kids can be safe being out there in the sun and play.

Gratitude to the land and steward holding the space for these sacred births.

Would you like to be a member of the goat herd to receive some super fresh goat milk to support our farm?

Community Envisioning Day & Lantern Land Tour

Join us on December 4th for an evening of nature connection, lantern-lit wonder, and shared dreaming for our community’s new farm & forest Montessori school on a 20-acre land. Your presence helps shape the village we are building. All ages welcome.

Thursday, December 4th 3:30–6:30 pm
Mount Shasta Nature School Farm & Forest Learning Village

A relaxing and regenerative afternoon for families, neighbors, changemakers, and all who feel called to imagine what a village-rooted learning community could look like in Mount Shasta. Together, we’ll walk the land, listen to its stories, share our hopes, and illuminate the path forward for our children and our community.

Schedule of the Day:

3:30–4:30 pm
Wilderness Connection Activity

Arrive, settle, and let the land welcome you. We will open with a simple, playful wilderness connection practice designed for all ages

This is a chance for families and community members to feel the spaciousness, creativity, and connection that the nature school embodies.

4:30–5:30 pm
Lantern Walk Land Tour

A magical twilight walk as we explore the pathways, classrooms-in-nature, goat pasture, forest learning spaces, and the future home of our yurt classrooms.

Each guest will bring a small lantern or tealight in a mason jar or battery candles to illuminate the trail as we walk together. Along the way, we’ll pause for stories of the land, the school’s vision and seasonal learning pathways and dreams for regenerative gardens, forest classrooms, trails, and village gathering spaces, a shared moment of honoring the ancestors of the land and the new stewards rising.

This is a beautiful time for children and adults alike, moving together as a village, guided by light, curiosity, and possibility.

5:30–6:30 pm
Appetizer & Side-Dish Potluck

We gather around warmth, nourishment, and conversation.
Bring a small appetizer, snack, or side dish to share (finger-food style makes it easy!).

We will share visions for the school, meet other local families and neighbors, explore how to participate, collaborate, or enroll.

A closing circle will offer gratitude, blessings for the land, and next steps for building our village together.

We come to celebrate the beginning of the Mount Shasta Nature School community!
