BECOME A DAUGHTER OF THE CANYONS
traverse the vastness of the earth and discover the hidden wisdom of the dark. delve into the metaphorical landscapes of the canyons to experience the convergence of biomimicry -nature as teachers, biophillia - love of nature, and botanical arts - communion with nature.
like the biologically diverse canyons, we are unique formations sculpted by rivers of experiences, emotions, and stressors. overtime such weathering can downcut the psyche and descend us into unrecognizable chasms of change and destruction.
as Daughters of the Dark we learn to embrace our jagged edges and attune to the prophecy of our cyclical nature. the descent is both the erosion and the emergence.
EMPOWER YOUR SIGHT IN THE DARK NIGHTS
dark nights are like eruptions. such as the loss of child, relationship, career, home, health, identity, or sense of purpose that leaves us paralyzed by a future concealed in grief.
dark nights can feel like tectonic plates drifting, slowly pulling us apart. the undertow can drown us with unconscious pressures that eventually surface to be healed. sometimes we don’t even know we’re in the dark.
dark nights can be liberating and revolutionary as we learn to strip away the layers that suffocated our soul for far too long and venture into the unknown.
in the dark nights we can reach out for connection and recognize that shadows are also the shroud of the Mother holding us in a mysterious love greater than death.
darkness slows you down into a chrysalis of transformation. experience the nature of you sculpted by soil and soul in the twilight
DESCENT IS A VOYAGE OF FORMATION & SELF-DISCOVERY
create a spiritual sabbatical with winter solstice to release the roles and expectations you may feel pressured to uphold, and gift yourself a sacred container to reflect, receive, and reset. prepare for the new year with tools that’ll help you climb out of the depths with Capricorn strength and Aquarian vision.
enter the womb of the Mother to incarnate a new version of yourself. let the dark transmute pain and grief into directives of love. there is a desire in you to birth something, it might not have words or form, but there’s a spark that needs time in the dark to incubate, macerate, and generate the power to manifest itself.

LET’S JOURNEY TOGETHER
HI, I’m Kimiko
as a daughter of the wilds, I’ve traveled into the dark nights and canyons many times. each descent and ascent has cultivated my healing practice as a naturalist, ritualist, and mystical herbalist. amongst the flowers and diverse landscapes I’ve learned to lay my heart to the earth and serve from a place of openness, humility, and reciprocity.
initiated by the sacred passages of loss and pain, I’ve invested in over 18 years of formation in yoga, herbalism, and shamanic practices to build a legacy as a facilitator for personal and group transformation. as an educator and space holder, I mentor authentic relationships with your soul and the natural world.
as a devotee to the many faces, myths, and medicine of the EARTH as MOTHER & FATHER, I am called to create embodied rituals that commune with the lands and spirits in direct and tangible ways.
like jumping onto a swing, I invite you to play in the mystical worlds to deconstruct and reconstruct your life as a DAUGHTER OF THE DARK.
these wild times call for fierce medicine and darkness holds pure potential. are you open to unexpected miracles from unseen worlds? align with the holy days of winter solstice to demystify the dark with renewed hope.
