A year-long journey in awareness of individual Oorlog, open to women of all ages. Weaving the Wisdom Keeper offers a tapestry of deep personal work for women who desire to heal the broken threads that come with separation from our ancestral ways of connection to the earth, the moon, the sun and each other.
Twelve one-day sessions offered over the course of one year, with a final Wisdom Vision Camp, in the forest. Sessions may be attended individually or enrolled for the entire year.
Each session runs for eight hours, over one day, at The Place in The Wilde at Mongarlowe, NSW. (1.5 hours from Canberra).
Ørlög : (oorlog) (from Old Norse)
n.
the accumulation of an individuals ancestral “karma”, DNA, inherited conditions, actions, beliefs and traditions which creates potential for the individual. Individuals create oorlog for themselves and their children through their actions, beliefs, and even nutrition and health choices. (definition from Kari Tauring in her Völva Stav Manual)
Inviting the internal and external work of the shamanka, this program teaches a variety of methods for deepening self awareness and creating a life that sets you free, through the framework of the Rhythm of Life. Throughout the 12 sessions, women will gain understanding to weave Oorlog deeply in an individual and appropriate way, representing personal heritage, culture and beliefs.
The work of weaving your personal understanding of your Oorlog is the work of Self Crafting the tapestry of all that has been, is now and will become. It is a way of uncovering your deep ancestral roots. It is a way of connecting to your inherent Inner Wisdom. You Know more than you think you do.

FAQ
Q. I’ve heard Hollie to talk about some of these topics before. Is the content the same?
A. The day sessions are in-depth explorations of the work of Self Crafting as a Shamanka (female medicine woman/wisdom keeper), including many elements I’ve never taught about before. There will be many layers of new information for anyone who has worked with me before.
Q. I’ve never been to a women’s event. Is this appropriate for me?
A. The sessions are suitable for entry level to shamanically-advanced women. You might like to try the “Heavy and Light Tool” to assist you in exploring whether this program will be a contribution to you.
Q. Can my teenage daughter attend?
A. The program is offered to women of all ages. In this instance, “woman” is defined as a person who has or did once have a uterus, has reached the biological stage of menstruation and has a maturity level appropriate for a broad range of discussion topics.
Q. Can I bring my baby?
A. Babes in arms are VIPs. Toddlers are unable to attend.
Q. It’s a long way for me to travel. Is there somewhere I can stay?
