Maiden, Mother, & Crone
This is our Story…
Two winters ago, in Mila’s yellow kitchen, with a soft snowfall out the window and the jingling giggles of her two year old daughter coming in and out of the room, a dream seed was born. With hot coffees in hand, Jasmine and Mila began to whisper excitedly about an idea they both had been harboring for some time. It was a shared dream of bringing their women kin back to the land.
To gather the women, and invite them to share what skills and wisdom they had gathered in their lives in hopes this could nourish the earth, each other and their own hearts. They brought their idea to their beloved friend and mentor Sasha Padron, who had been tending her own kindred seed for some time. In the early days on her farm, Sasha had a vision come to her while in the cedar forest that asked her to bring women together on the land. When she shared this with Mila and Jasmine, they knew something far wiser was at play and they drove up to Sasha the next week. When they arrived, the three women all lay belly down in the back field, amongst the dogwood and cedar, and asked how they could be in service to this vision.
Since that spring, we have woven four beautiful gatherings. As we change and evolve, these gatherings are growing along with us and with you, dear sister!

Mila Redwood
Mila is a song-weaver, mother, and community gatherer. She uses song as a tool for building community, for restoring our sense of belonging and connection in the world.
Mila is passionate about gathering women to sing together in the oral tradition, in the simple yet powerful ways that our grandmothers have sung together for time immemorial. She rejoices in the communal sharing of ancestral skills, as a way of remembering our connection with land, lineage, heart, and soul. Mila is grateful to live on the shore of the ‘river that beats like a heart’, in Nogojiwanong-Peterborough.
