After the details then the magic happens!

Cassielle was born dancing, moving and breathing fire into her life as she grew and changed and morphed and evolved and became more and more herself as years passed. She has dedicated her life to the exploration of consciousness and evolution through embodied creativity. In her work with individuals and groups, Cassie acts as a midwife for those standing in the places in-between here and there, those who are suspended, for a moment, at life transition portals. Using creative modalities she helps each person to take the next inevitable step towards themselves and embodied wholeness. Her work is informed by her life as a dancer, mother, baker, gardener, partner to her beloved, movement therapist, painter, quilt artist and, above all, a deep believer in the power of love to transform universes.

Cassielle is the hearth, the place where people come to warm themselves and know their soul in seeing.

She is the baker who nourishes the soul with sweet cookies – who takes individual ingredients and magically brings them together, turning all into gold.

She is the quilt maker who knows how to set the table for all the scattered pieces and invite them to sit at the table -to dine, to sup, to be fed nectar, to become part of a whole.

She is the high priestess who prefers the cauldron of creation to anything else and stirs this pot deep  where liquid fire pours forth to heat the cauldron of soul initiation and transformation.

She is the elder who listens in between the quiet spaces, bringing her embodied wisdom into action through movement, breath, sound and creativity.

With beauty and love, with kindness and creativity, with fierce compassion and laughter, with curiosity and wonder, join Cassielle in creating a world, a field, a gathering, that meets the deep needs of the heart.
