Journey with the Goddess- A Divine Feminine Temple Experience the Initiator
Journey with the Goddess- A Divine Feminine Temple Experience the Creator
Archetypes are timeless personifications of the universe — sacred patterns of thought and expression that live within the collective unconscious. They unite us across cultures, generations, and traditions, revealing our shared human story. Exploring the Self and the Soul through archetype is a profound pathway of spiritual awakening. As a student of the divine feminine mysteries, the divine feminine archetypes in particular, are foundational to Caitlin’s studies and her work.
The Divine Feminine is rising in the world once again- entering in as whispers of the soul, sensations in the body, and longing in the heart. The medicine of the Goddess is so desperately needed in our chaotic and rapidly changing world- for the restoration of balance and reciprocity on Earth, and with the Earth. As Priestess Initiate, Caitlin is here to serve as a guide in anchoring in this medicine.
And so, you are invited to join her in this divine feminine temple experience, where we will journey with the divine feminine archetype of the Great Mother — she who creates, nurtures, and sustains all life.

Inspired by the loss of her mother to cancer, her plant-based offerings are rooted in self-study, holistic wellness, and a deep belief that healing can be both gentle and accessible.

Dr. Ariana Greene is a ceremonial psychologist and land ceremonialist devoted to the eco-psychospiritual evolution unfolding on Earth. Her background in collapse-aware psychotherapy, depth psychology, dreamwork, animism, and earth-based ceremonial healing arts led to her development of the emergent healing paradigm of Ceremonial Psychology and the body of work known as Terras Gamos: Earth Union. Her work transforms conventional psychology into a living landscape of relational ecology, collective heart healing, human psyche restoration, and grounded integration of spiritual insight. Ariana lives and loves in the mountains of Western North Carolina.
WORKSHOPS:
Terras Gamos Land Ceremony - this is the heart of the heart of my work, a marriage ceremony with the Earth. This ceremony was developed as a modern day revival of an ancient land ceremony of my Irish ancestors called the Banaís Righi. The ancient ceremony took place at a time when humans understood that the health of the land and people were inextricably connected and once a year the high kings of Ireland would gather and marry the sovereign goddess of the land in a demonstration of devotion, commitment, and recognition of right relationship with life. I am bringing back this ceremony today because ceremony is what is needed to meet these times of changing Earth, and as the humans we've become, it is time to reclaim the inner high king and sovereign goddess within each of us and choose to partner with the Earth again. The ceremony helps us recognize Earth not as a backdrop but as an alive, conscious being in need of our partnership. In this ceremony we will take wedding vows and be witnessed by each other and the land as we choose the marriage of our lifetimes: the alchemical marriage between humans and Earth.
Earth Weave Workshop - this workshop was developed through my work as a psychologist and understanding that mental health symptoms can almost always be explained as a disruption in life force energy. I see that the modern world has taken the creativity of humans as a commodity and has taken advantage of our captivity to utilize our precious life force to continue building infrastructure rather than feeding it back into the Earth, who was always our greatest and most creative partner for building a harmonious world. In this workshop, participants will learn about the main ways that humans express life force as mapped onto the medicine wheel, find their own unique expression of aliveness, connect with an Earth ally and receive a channeled message from Earth, and co-create with her to build an Earth Offering of their own unique essence. Part didactic, part experiential, part community healing.
ARIANA GREENE
Nicole Bussiere is a licensed mental health counselor, mentor, and facilitator devoted to embodied awakening and integration.

WORKSHOP:
The Way: A Gathering for the Jesus Curious -
In this gathering we will explore Jesus as a wisdom teacher, healer, and embodied mystic whose teachings point toward inner transformation, love, truth, and awakened living. Rather than worship or doctrine. The session will center on practice, embodiment, and lived experience.
Drawing from the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament (the “red letters”), early Christian writings such as the Didache, Essene and historical context, contemplative traditions, and parallels found in Buddhism, yogic philosophy, and other wisdom traditions we explore a chosen aspect of what early followers called “The Way” - not the only way, but a path of consciousness rooted in compassion, presence, and alignment with what is real.
The session will include:
• an opening intention or invocation to ground and cohere the group,
• a core teaching exploring Jesus’ life and teachings in historical and spiritual context,
• reflection and dialogue,
• and practical integration focused on embodying the teaching explored - in everyday life.
This is a gathering that honors curiosity, questioning, and personal experience. Religious trauma, skepticism, and uncertainty are welcome here.

ISabella Wennberg
I am an artist and community organizer who finds balance between the physical weight of industrial metalwork and the abstract exploration of human connection. My creative practice often involves refurbished, antique steel furniture, large-scale fabrication & steel sculptures, including pieces designed to serve as focal points for music festivals and community gatherings. This technical expertise is paired with a deep interest in existentialist thought and the search for human consciousness, reflecting a lifelong curiosity about how we are interconnected across both local and universal scales.
Beyond the workshop, I am dedicated to facilitating wellness and community engagement, whether through organizing regional recovery campouts or developing immerisve recovery workshops. I value the discipline of hard work and the importance of shared spaces, often blending practical "how-to" education with wellness strategies to help others find their own sense of vitality.
Sometimes I'm spending time with my dogs, cats and roasting a tray of vegetables at home and sometimes traveling between the Northeast and Central America…but I remain focused on building structures—both literal and social—that promote freedom and insight.

Join Bear for a men’s circle combined with breathwork and meditation that will help us heal our hearts and move out of toxic masculinity and into divine masculinity. Come and sit in sacred circle as we share our hearts, help carry one another’s burdens, and lean into our healing work.
Ultimately my work is about the energy we carry, the emotions we mask, and the light that pushes through anyway. Each painting a celebration for the raw authenticity of the person portrayed. I build layers quickly allowing marks to remain visible so the process stays alive within the finished piece. The paintings are not still they're meant to carry a pulse, as the energy felt by the muse portrayed.

WORKSHOPS:
Altar of Connection: Welcoming Love and Loss (Children's Circle)—
Some of the people we love most aren't with us today. And yet — love doesn't end when someone is gone.
In this gentle, earth-based workshop, we come together to call in the ones we carry in our hearts. Whether you're missing a grandparent, a pet, a friend, or someone who couldn't be here this weekend — every kind of love and every kind of loss is welcome.
Together, we'll gather natural objects from the land and build a living memory altar — a sacred space where those we love become present with us again. Through storytelling, song, and the simple magic of placing something meaningful with intention, we'll discover that joy and sadness can live side by side, and that both are expressions of love.
The altar will remain as a living offering for the whole Moon Bloom community throughout the weekend.
For children and teenagers of all ages. Parents warmly welcome.
Altar of Connection: Welcoming Love and Loss (Adult's Circle) —
Grief is not the opposite of love. It is love.
In this embodied, earth-based gathering, we create a sacred space to honour the people, beings and parts of life we are carrying with us. Whatever you have lost, whoever you miss: you are welcome to bring them here.
Grounded in our bodies and in the land beneath us, we gather, share our stories, and together build a living memory altar, adding our offerings and blessings to the Altar of Connection that the children started.
