Testimonials
“The work in Circle, and the work in other pathways in my spirit’s journey this year, have combined to bring me a year of major growth, change, and delight. I am incredibly and humbly grateful to Maris, and the Circle, for the support and impetus in this hugely significant year.”

What I got out of Sacred Ways of Women: Deep transformation. A spiritual tool belt stocked with practices and experiences for accessing alignment with my own inner nature and a truer understanding of what it means to live an intentional life.
Kady deWeese - Sacred Ways of Women Participant
For years I have chipped laboriously away at my personal healing work. [Ancestral healing] was exponential in that it helped me access the roots of so much dysfunction. Such a relief that I don’t have to do this work alone, but have compassionate human guidance and the tremendously powerful and effortless work done by my well ancestors.
Rachel - Ancestral Lineage Healing Intensive
I loved the way the teachers used vernacular language to relate to the ancestors. Didn’t have to be so serious all the time. And made the ancestors seem more approachable.
Toni - Ancestral Lineage Healing Intensive
“Maris’ class has been extraordinary in ways that I could not imagine when I first began. The biggest pluses for me have been the wisdom about another approach to life and healing, as well as the community that has been created.”

Maris listened deeply and pondered before answering. The high quality of her responses was reflective of her thoughtfulness. Her singing is magical. She is a blessing!
Erin - Ancestral Lineage Healing Intensive
“My two favorite specific things we did, aside from the journeying and practicing intuition with each other, were the Soul Retrieval and the treasure map collage exercise. I can clearly see now how those two events set up a whole chain of steady and inevitable minor steps, leading me to the great awakenings in my path this year.”
Medicine Circle Participant
[The facilitators] created a safe, fun-serious, all inclusive, loving, container. They know their ancestral medicine and taught me so much.
