Musings from Shaela Noella

I, Shaela Noella, welcome us in this journey of remembrance, healing, and embodied expression and gathering as women. I am honored to present a series of offerings rooted in song, ancestral connection, and the wisdom of the body.

​

As a songstress, medium, and healing arts practitioner I have spent decades remembering my own indigenous wisdom and studying from various healers, and wisdom keepers from many different lands. Those that have influenced my pathway most are my mama, the nature spirits and Kahunas in Hawaii, Curanderas from all over Latin America, Siberian Shamans, Ann Drucker with Miss B, and many friends and family along the way. Most recently I have been slowly moving back to California to study and be with my Midwife Mama, it's been a great and slow shift of my life and lifestyle and I am so thankful to return to Red Earth Gathering this year.

Keep reading to hear more about my offerings:

**Ancestor Healing Ceremony**, inviting you to gather around the fire in honor of healing our ancestors. I will call upon benevolent helping spirits and ancestors with Song to support healing within our family lineages, and we will have plant brushings for healing, and work with our Herbal Allies of the year. You are encouraged to bring a cup to receive a nourishing herbal brew as part of this ceremonial experience.

It will be followed by a **Song Circle: Ancestral Blessings**, an evening devoted to opening the voice in honor of those who came before us. Through toning, harmonies, and songs from various traditions, we will explore the freedom of authentic expression while releasing stories, emotions, and silences that may have been carried through generations. The circle will be held with reverence, creating a safe and welcoming space for both experienced singers and those discovering their voices for the first time.

**Song of the Womb, Whispering & Care** offers a three-hour intensive exploring the profound relationship between womb and voice through song, movement, and self-care massage. Women of all ages and experiences are welcome, including those who have had hysterectomies, as the workshop honors the energetic and spiritual dimensions of the womb as much as the physical. Learning about womb alignment supports an optimal womb position for vitality, balance, and heart–womb–intuition coherence.

**Kids Yoga and Dance Class** encourages joyful movement, imagination, and play through animal-inspired yoga and dance. 

**Song of the Flowering** in the Girls Grove  we will create a nurturing space for girls to explore self-expression, body awareness, and inner wisdom through song, conversation, and creative exploration.

Let this be a time to reconnect with the ancient threads that weave us together and remember the medicine we each carry within. I invite JOY as our ally through ceremony, song, movement, and connection; may we be part of this remembrance, and belonging.
