Kinship and Creation
with Kelly Walsh & Simon Barkworth
This is a call into relationship: a living process. A way of being in conversation, moving with the web of connection—with your art, your body, the land, the unseen forces that shape and reshape the world.
This is not about technique. Not about bending materials, words, movement to your will. That way is brittle. That way breaks.
This is about participation. About entering the conversation already in motion. About noticing the way things already want to move. The way a story arrives whole, but in symbols you don’t yet understand. How meaning emerges not through force, but through presence.
This is kin-making. This is art as an event—an offering that shifts the field of relationships. Creativity is a way of weaving yourself into the larger patterns of meaning—ones that existed before you, and will continue long after.
You do not "discover" something here, you recognize something. Something that was always there, waiting for you to notice.
A Four-Session Journey
Session 1: Foundations – Making in Kinship
We begin by shifting perspective. Creativity as a relational act.
Storying yourself into relationship—where do you stand within the web of connection?
Explore ancestral understandings of art as offerings, kinship, and reciprocity.
Identify the relationships—seen and unseen—already present in your creative work.
Begin a process of making that listens, rather than directs.
Session 2: Breathwork & Listening to the Sacred
Deep listening shifts perception. Here, we attune to the intelligence moving through us.
Engaging breath, movement, and rhythm as ways of receiving rather than controlling.
Practice deep listening that de-centers control and expectation.
Work with breath in a way that allow symbols, patterns, and rhythms to reveal themselves.
Notice how land, ancestors, and the unseen communicate through creative process.
Session 3: Shamanic Drum Journey for Perspective & Deeper Connection
We move beyond the thinking mind and enter the intelligence of altered states.
Experience drum journeying as a tool for shifting perception and receiving guidance.
Work with non-linear ways of knowing—seeing through the body, the senses, the unseen.
Honor the role of the Norse Völva as a seeress who navigates relational wisdom.
Letting go of control—allowing meaning to take form through relationship.
Session 4: Sharing & Integration – Sacred Completion
Completion is not an ending. It is a transformation.
Witnessing and honoring what has emerged within a shared creative field.
Explore how to maintain sacred relationships beyond the workshop.
Explore ongoing creative stewardship—not just making, but tending and carrying forward.
Offering back—where does your work want to go? What will it seed beyond you?
Who This Is For:
those who feel the quiet pull toward something beyond themselves—who sense that creativity is not just a personal act, but a living conversation.
artists, healers, seekers, and guides who wish to deepen their practice as an act of kinship.
those who no longer see their work as something to control, but something to be in relationship with.
those who are ready to shift from extracting meaning to tending meaning.
those who understand that wisdom is not static—it moves, it shifts, it disperses.
those who recognize that they are already within a web of connection and want to step more fully into it.
If this speaks to something in you—if it stirs a knowing that is difficult to name—then you are already in the conversation. This space is here to deepen it.
What You’ll Leave With
You will not leave with a conclusion, but with a thread—one that continues weaving itself into the fabric of your life.
The ability to sense and work within the web of relationship.
A way of making that does not extract meaning, but moves in reciprocity with it.
A practice of honoring the pace at which meaning reveals itself.
The recognition that knowledge is not static, but moves, shifts, and disperses.
You will not leave with a finished product, but a living relationship—one that asks to be tended, honored, and carried forward.
Are you ready to create in kinship?

Dismemberment Journey
Dismemberment Journeys can happen spontaneously or we can intentionally use this journey experience to support us when we wish to dismantle an old identity. This journey is a way for us to allow a death of an old way of being that is no longer serving us to become reborn with new gifts and awareness.
Some reasons for choosing a dismemberment journey include:
moving into a new role in life
wishing to shift to a higher vibration
feeling stuck in some way
Visionary Journey experience is recommended. This is a big journey to begin with if you aren’t familiar with the practice.

Visionary Journey Circle to the Foundation of Your Soul
A visionary journey to tend to your foundation might not sound super sexy, but this practice gives you the ability to participate in consciously creating a sustainable place for your power to harness your creative potential.
If you've felt destabilized, confused, or hyper-sensitive, especially over the past 2 years, this practice will assist in cultivating a deeper connection with your spiritual center and purpose.
This circle is open to anyone, whether you’re very familiar with the visionary journey process or completely new to it. Instructions will be given along with the recording so that this practice can be returned to again.
We’ll have the opportunity to share insights that have surfaced and allow for integration; an invaluable process which is such a gift to bear witness to within community.
During this visionary journey circle we’ll:
learn how to tend to our foundation
learn what the state of our foundation reveals about our waking life
share the insight gained from exploring our foundation.
This offering will be recorded and available for you to download within 24 hours after meeting.
