Crack open your frozen parts. Invite warmth back into your heart.

Join us for an intimate feminine salon inspired by the powerful myth of The Skeleton Woman from Women Who Run With the Wolves — a story of thawing the frozen heart, reclaiming aliveness, and allowing warmth to return after seasons of loss, survival, or silence.

In this salon, we’ll explore how to write from the depths of you - the most instinctual place within — the part that longs to soften, to be seen and to return to life after a long winter.

Through grounding, reflective conversation, and guided writing, we’ll move into themes of emotional thawing, vulnerability, tenderness, and the wild courage it takes to stay present with our own truth.

Together, we’ll tend to the places within us that may have grown guarded or numb, while making space for what is ready to awaken, open, and breathe again.

Whether you are healing, creating, or simply longing for deeper connection with yourself, and your community, this salon offers a gentle pathway back to your inner authority, your creative vitality, and the warm, living pulse of your own heart.

Come as you are.

Leave feeling softer, lighter, creatively awakened, and more deeply connected to the wild, tender truth within you.

At The Poetry Apothecary, we know the value of putting ourselves in the way of beauty.

Join us for a midday poetry reading & write in.

We’ll begin with a gentle centering meditation, then read a selected poem together. From there, you’ll have space to reflect, write, and (if you’d like) share. We’ll close with a final reading of the poem and a closing meditation — sending you back into your day nourished and inspired.

For our final March gathering, we enter the world of Hamnet — the novel by Maggie O'Farrell and its film adaptation — a story of love, grief, and the quiet endurance of the natural world.

This story broke my heart and stitched it back together in the most beautiful, organic way. It returned me to the forest — to something elemental and deeply alive within myself.

I’ve been so moved by it that I feel called to gather around it, to write inside its themes of love, grief, and the natural world. And there is no more fitting time than March — our month of Spring Awakening — when the earth itself is softening and coming back to life.

At its heart, Hamnet is not simply about loss.
It is about love that continues.

It is rosemary and returning to the earth for answers.
It’s paving your own way in the world.
It is being loved for who you truly are — not who you were taught to be.

As the earth begins to soften this spring, we’ll write into:

• The loves that shaped us

• The grief we still carry

• Our connection to the earth’s apothecary (a little herbal lesson!)

• The longing to be loved as we are

** Please note that it is highly recommended to read the novel or watch the film - or in some way acquaint yourself with the story before the salon.
