Join me for an afternoon of community, wise counsel & ceremony to craft your own Totemic (animal-kin) Mask.
Totemic masks have been used in rituals and ceremony as a tool to cross liminal thresholds for thousands of years. Mask-wearing ceremonies were once common-place during Pagan Sabbats - celebrations of the solstice(s) and seasonal shifts in the Wheel of the Year. Totemic Masks can be a powerful tool of transformation, symbolising a reclamation of our instinctual-animal body (anima). In this workshop we honour our animal-ecological-kinship through community and ceremony.
Once registered participants will receive prompts on ‘calling in their animal-kin’ and ways to work with animistic energy.
This workshop will be held in a relaxed-ceremonial manner, shifting between deep process and shared creativity. A collection of art / crafts will be supplied (including your mask), however, I encourage you to seek, thrift and / or gather embellishments that compliment your chosen animal-kin.
WHERE: La Casa 169 Lord Street, Guruk (Port Macquarie)
WHEN: Saturday 29th August, 2026. 10am - 4pm
COST: $165 pp [$135 pp for Paid Patreon Subscribers]
*Please note: This workshop is an offering for Women.
I pay my respects to the Birpai people as the Traditional Custodians of the land upon which this workshop is held, and to their Elders past, present and emerging. I recognise their continuing connection to land, sea, culture and community and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
*FINAL WORKSHOP FOR 2026*
Join me for a day of wise counsel & ceremony to craft your own Totemic (animal-kin) Mask.
Totemic masks have been used as a tool for crossing liminal thresholds during rituals and ceremonies for thousands of years. Pagans & Gnostics frequently celebrated the Summer and Winter solstice(s) and mid-seasonal shifts with spectacular (and sometimes terrifying) mask-wearing ceremonies and parades - as did many traditions and cultures from around the world.
Crafting your own totemic mask is not just about making a mask. It's an invitation to rediscover your wise instinct and intuition - rich medicine to embody throughout life's transitions (grief); your mask becomes a vessel for transformation long after completion.
This workshop will be held in a relaxed-ceremonial manner, shifting between deep process and communal creativity. The option to request quiet and solitude exists too - there’s enough space for your needs - which will met, with maturity and understanding (wise counsel).
A collection of art / crafts will be supplied - including your mask, however, I encourage you to seek, thrift and / or gather embellishments that compliment your chosen animal-kin in the weeks prior to the gathering. Please note: once numbers are confirmed, participants will receive prompts on ‘calling in their animal-kin’ and ways to work with animistic energy.
WHERE: La Casa 169 Lord Street Port Macquarie
