Becoming an offering 2026/27
A woman’s Journey of Embodying her Cyclical Nature
“How do we emerge from our journeys with grief, from our inner winters, and like spring become an offering that will both romance and feed the whole world?”
Working with the cycles of the cosmology, ecology, story and our body, we will be re-membering the cyclical nature of the human being. Giving ourselves a whole year to be in an intentional and ritual relationship with these truths enacts within us a big story that our psyche deeply needs to know where we are in our own cycle, pattern, story and how to tend to that place. It gives permission for all to belong and we learn how to embrace and ritually tend to the season we are in internally. The mystic Kabir wrote, “Few men reach the shores of spring,” suggesting that many get stuck in an eternal winter. Becoming an offering is a year long embodied practice of truly and deeply listening and relating to our inner winter, so we might grow the inner capacity to receive our inner spring, and become an offering to the world. In the middle of our year together, we will walk two weeks the Camino de Santiago de Santiago, to enact an embodied prayer to remember our cyclical nature.

“Stories have to be told or they die and if they die we can’t remember who we are and why we are here and where we are going.

Beyond the 8 points of the year, we will meet every new and full moon for one hour for a story ritual (some of those new moons will be part of the 8). The times for these meeting are to be determined.
“I did the year-long “Becoming an Offering” program with Siobhan, including the pilgrimage walk in Spain, and she creates one of the safest containers for grounding and opening that I’ve ever been part of. The walk itself was striking: we headed west to the coast for a ceremony on the summer solstice, then turned east, walking against the grain — a deliberate shift from death toward life. That physical turn mirrored something real happening inside me, and it gave me a lasting sense that transformation like that is actually possible.
On top of the depth of the experience, Siobhan handled everything — pacing, lodging, meals, the route — so thoughtfully that I never had to think about logistics. I could just be fully present for the walk and what it opened up in me.”
Investment
As someone that believes in magic, I believe that each person who longs to be a part of this year long program and Camino walk, can make that happen. Often when a number is placed on a page like this, it can pull people away from magic and into mind, the brilliant logical, practical and rational part of our psyche. It is a practice to tend to mind, while also staying connected to possibility. And so, I am going to invite you to set up a discovery call if you feel a yes for this journey and we can work the financial pieces in the holding of magic. One thing I can say here is that there are partial scholarships and payment plan options available. The flight would be yours to take care of, but the program fee will cover the year long zoom container, and all the lodging and food for the two weeks on the Camino.
“To enact these old rituals of making pilgrimage, to embody a prayer in this way, to live for weeks outside of time, changes us in ways that few other activities have the power to do.”
