Palika Wilding
Palika Wilding has been courting and centering the mysteries of the Underworld, moon and the miraculous Blue Green Pearl for as long as she can remember. As Threshold Midwife she listens and tends the edges and holy cracks where the Earth body and psyche, and human body and psyche collide. With fierce love, she invites seekers towards psycho spiritual and ecological thresholds to recover pearls and shadowed gems within, that lead us to embody an enchanted, reciprocal response-ability with the Animate Earth & Mystery. Committed to the somatic, imaginal, creative entanglement and porosity between humans and the web of life; she humbly tends our innate, original design to mature into soul centric adults and Elders for our people and Earth. An astute tracker of the forgotten, forsaken, forbidden and feared, and artful tender to the hearth fire of beauty and death – Palika invites us closer to embodying the fragrant poem which Earth has imagined as each of us, in service to the greater good of the precious Web of Life. She lives on unceded Awaswas Territory, the fecund edge where Elder Redwoods, gnarly Live Oaks and Wild Salty Sea entangle in Santa Cruz. Painterly sunsets, owl, red shouldered hawk, towhees, bobcat, poppies and lilac capture her heart constantly.

The Way of Council and the Art of Mirroring - October, 2026October 4 - 8, 2026
THE ART OF MIRRORING: There is an art to hearing a story as well as telling one. Mirroring is a collection of skills employed in receiving, embracing, and honoring each others’ stories. In mirroring, we neither project nor interpret but rather celebrate the magic of the story and the gifts of the One Who Bears the Tale. We help the storyteller glean-harvest-reap the jewels, the dark ones as well as those that sparkle. The Way of Council and the Art of Mirroring are invaluable practices on the descent to soul. Although much of the descent is solitary, gathering with others…
