Who We Are
We are two dynamic and passionate women, each with over 30 years of experience living close to the earth and sharing the gifts we've gathered along the way. Our mission is to create a space for intimacy, authenticity, and freedom, using the powerful tools we've cultivated to help women reconnect with themselves and each other.
Harbin Hot Springs was the home for us both for almost 20 years. This land and the community provided a lifestyle very close to the earth. A life that valued freedom. As we mature we have both discovered that true freedom is inner freedom, the freedom to discover and be who we are in a real way. Our lifes at Harbin invited walking barefoot, carrying our water, sitting in many women's circles for moon ceremonies, sweat lodge, singing, dancing and celebrating diversity. We together learned the way of the earth from the community's grandmother, Lorindra Moonstar.
