Red Owl Sisterhood is a Sacred Space of exploration for Women. Its intent is focused on upholding, honouring and celebrating the Second Universal Law stating; All things are born of the feminine, receptive conceptive energy and sparked by the masculine, active conceptive energy. Within this universal womb, we explore, experience & celebrate the ancient roots of womens wisdom and power, as we pursue our commitment to individual and collective mutual growth for all humans.

The Living Clean Program is an intensive 10 day process designed to help you face those addictions, patterns & behaviours keeping you trapped in an unproductive cycle. As you free yourself of their grasp, you will learn to identify & develop constructive ways of taking care of your real needs, providing greater fulfillment and satisfaction from life.

Relationship Workshops set the stage for honest, clear communication with yourself as you learn to create healthier, more empowered ways to be in relationship on all levels – whether it is your self, your beloved, your children, your parents, your co-workers or the server in your local grocer.

We honour & celebrate Grandmother Earths natural seasonal cycle by coming together regularly throughout the year for Community Gatherings. Each Gathering is different. Every time we come together to sit in Circle, we honour ourselves & each other for who we are & our current state of being. Contact us to for upcoming Community Gatherings.

We all seek to be the best we can be, for ourselves, for our impact on the world & in the way we engage with and relate to others, especially those we love.
These Gatherings have been created to offer you profound opportunities for healing, growth & personal transformation so you can thrive.

Lou & Laurel come together to form a rare combination of honesty, authenticity & vulnerability as they nurture & share their dream child, Sacred Journeys. Their partnership is one that provides inspiration, mentorship & healing for those who are called to come & work with them. Their combined teaching style offers the opportunity to witness a co-empowered relationship at work. Together they walk their path with heart & continue to co-create this sacred sanctuary.

Laurel Weaving Willow: Building on years of training, knowledge & experience, I hold a space of support for those who are drawn to work with me. I listen with clarity to their life stories & I challenge them to see other perspectives in order to take a different approach to life. This provides them with the opportunity to open their hearts & minds, find more of themselves and gain acceptance, appreciation and self-love.

Lou Worldweaver: For over two decades, I have been weaving beauty into my own life as well as empowering others to do the same for themselves by applying my multifaceted skills and mastery as an accomplished international teacher, human behaviour specialist, counsellor, writer, ceremonialist and master craftsman.

Lou and Laurel, of Sacred Journeys, are truly divine. They are open to love, and free to express what is happening without ego. I recently went for a sweat. It was called the Spring Equinox Ladies Sweat. In this situation, ladies get together in a sacred healing space to chat about and let go of fears and frustrations. Before we went into the sweat lodge, we sat together and chatted about where we were and what was happening in our minds and heart. This sharing process is so beautiful because it made me realise that I am never alone. We all go through so many hardships, and often have no idea how to deal with them. This sharing process is a type of realisation and release. Then we started to prepare for the sweat. Shamanic healing is truly profound! The sweat lodge is hot, yes, but once you allow yourself to open up to the divine within and trust, youre able to let go of stuff.
This process leaves one with a profound AHA moment of, “Does it really matter?”. What matters is our innate ability to manifest and create our own realities! After the sweat, we enjoyed a fabulous feast, spent time in up roaring laughter and just enjoyed each others company. I thoroughly enjoy these sweats and recommend those who feel they are ready to experience one, should contact Lou and Laurel. Set up an appointment and go meet these two gorgeous beings in Drummond! Trust me, it is well worth it.
