“the soul yearns for thresholds: the wild edges, the river crossings, the moments between inhale and exhale.
these are the sacred cracks in time where the veil thins, where Mystery can seep in.”
— bill plotkin, soulcraft
at the quiet turning of the season, there is a threshold waiting

through plant work, reflection, and nature-based practices, this class invites you to step into the sacredness of everyday life.

why this work?
in a culture that rushes through endings and fears the Unknown, we rarely pause to mark the moments that shape us. every season of life carries a threshold. a chance to listen, transform, and begin anew. nature remembers how to be still, how to shed, how to root down. this workshop is an invitation to do the same.
born from amy's lived practice and years of study, Tending the Fire draws from her experience with plant devotion, grief tending, and earth-based ritual. this class is a bridge toward a greater vision: helping people reconnect with their own strength and to walk as our ancestors did: in partnership with the Earth as a friend, teacher, and guide.
This class is a doorway into ancestral remembering.
