A note from Erin: 
Hello, friend.
Today we are celebrating Samhain/Halloween/Celtic New Year. Such a sacred time of year, on this threshold right between autumn equinox and winter solstice in our northern hemisphere. I hope you feel surrounded by loving ancestors whispering blessings through the veil and beaming generous support.
I’m excited to share that these holidays are not the only thing we’re celebrating. Today is a special day for us as we are so excited to unveil Refugia, an offering from our hearts. 
I heartfully invite you to click here to read all about it. As many of you know, we’ve been gestating this baby for quite some time. We thank you for your patience as we distilled this body of work and prepared to introduce it to you! We are grateful to those of you who have reached out to ask, “When is it coming?!” Well, today is the day! This work is our hearts’ offering for these times. This is us pouring forth the gifts and medicine we carry in wholehearted fashion. This is going to be a beautiful, transformative journey weaving Practices of Presence, Practices of Depth & Soul, and Practices of Reconnection & Remembrance. The roots are deep and the medicine is potent.
This training is aimed at bringing forth the medicine that is inherent in you and your indigenous soul.
The training begins in early February. We hope you will take some time to read all about it! 
Last night we were blessed to attend an event with Lynn Twist, one of the cofounders of the Pachamama Alliance. She shared a quote that made me nod my head, because this is exactly why we’re offering Refugia. Nobel Laureate Ilya Prigogine said, “When a complex system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to shift the entire system to a higher order.” 
“Sea of chaos” feels like a rather apt description of the world right now, eh? Refugia offers an island of coherence, and is dedicated to helping each of us both become and create our own islands of coherence. I have such fierce belief in the importance and power of coherent beings and communities to shift the trajectory we’re on in a more life-giving direction!
I’m excited to share that we are offering a $500 discount for the enthusiastic early birds who say yes to joining us on this journey before November 8th. Don’t miss it! It’s the largest discount we’ve ever offered, and we’re so happy to do so for those of you who are ready to jump in with an enthusiastic yes. We are so looking forward to steeping in soulful community and potent practices with you!
If you haven’t yet heard the story of where the name Refugia comes from, oooh, it’s such a good one! On this page, there’s a link to listen to me read the story to you. Check it out. It’s good, heartening medicine for the times. 
 As the saying goes, “We were made for these times.”
Refugia aims to ensure that the times are also making us into the most authentic, wise, and soulful version of ourselves.
More than ever, the world needs such human beings in all our unique and diverse expressions.
Thanks for being here. Thanks for tipping the scales toward more love and goodness. Thanks for caring about our work in the world.
Thanks for staying connected. And thanks, always, for making the world a kinder and more soulful place. It matters.
In kindness & kinship & a fierce dedication toward a more beautiful world,
Refugia offers precise and potent healing waters to nourish and hydrate your life at the roots while supporting you to become a sanctuary for yourself and others.
Refugia is a potent distillation of what we wish everyone knew.
