What makes this offering unique is that it not only gives you the guidance to work on something now, it is the library in which I will continue to add to as I work different things. What makes this offering different than any YouTube video or taxidermy how-to video is the magic and medicine aspect. You will strengthen the skills of listening to spirit as you learn the skill of dealing with dead things.
This is where I stand out. It’s not just dealing with a dead thing. It’s an experience in which you will be changed…surprised…deepened…awakened…and rewilded into the wholeness that is innate within you. Because, when you cut through skin…you cut through the barriers and enter a remembery of ancient sensing. I ask you to rise by digging deep and cutting through that skin. How could it NOT change you? How can you do anything and not be changed by it? I think the questions that really matter are…will you change with the change? Will you DO what it takes to BE-come who you are so you can BE-have in what you DO? You can sure as shit give it a go with me here.
Dealing with the dead is often not as bad as it seems. Once you get started, it’s amazing how an ancient awakening unfurls from within your body and moves your hands in a sacred dream state until it is done. And if you let yourself…you will unlearn, experience, and become so much more than you are know.
Dealing with dead things with actions and behaviors that challenge you, give you opportunities to show up better than you have before and remind you of the wise fortitude you actual are capable of.
Death is a part of Life, so deal with it in a way you can be proud of. And just like Life, it is a gift to feel the depths that grow our roots.
If you have come across a dead thing and are not sure what to do with it until you are ready to work it, watch THIS VIDEO. Then, after you enroll and get going, your dead thing will be safe and ready for you to work it.
In this content, you will be encouraged to feel grief…and thereby befriend it’s clarifying qualities. You will be treated as a wise adult who can take risks, create pathways, and think for yourself. You will be offered moments to connect with Spirit and embrace the power within.
What you will learn…
if a dead thing is useable or not
how to dismember a bird
how to process and preserve parts for crafts and medicine making
how to cleanse and preserve bones
what to do with rotten tissue on otherwise good parts
how to face the feelings of death in a full spectrum without demeaning or justifying
how to listen to the guidance of the animal spirit that you are working on
how to process an animal hide for making drums and rattles (rawhide)
how to try new things, experiment new paths, take risks, and create known from unknown
knowledge by doing
receiving spirit guidance
how to overcome the queezies and get shit done
what to do with a dead thing (obvious, I know, but relevant all the same)
and I believe there is more, but some things must be left to magic for you to learn
And don’t worry. Blood washes of. Stinky things can be cleansed, and parts are what make up the whole. So dive in, with or without a dead thing to work, and remember the sacred stirring of being a human with a strong spirit and body who can deal with anything.
