We gather to remember who we are in relationship to one another
Life is forged through our relationships and shared experiences. It is in community that we heal, grow and gather wisdom.
Since the dawn of time, humans have come together in ceremony and sacred space to learn, share, process, celebrate, bear witness and integrate.
Soul Seed Gathering began as a traveling gathering of women, with an aim to support our research and documentary work through these collective journeys and experiences, learning alongside elders and medicine women and being witnessed, honored and supported as we explore who we truly are - together.
Soul seed EVENTS
Our events are a weaving of active participation and co-creation, gathering seeds of remembrance that can be planted back into the soil of our life to grow. We are nourished by a collective garden with those who are remembering too.
Explore the different ways to gather with the Soul Seed Community.
