Seasonal School for High Spring: Re-enchanting our lives, reawakening our senses.

May 1 – June 26, 2026

As the land awakens into the vibrant beauty of High Spring, we are invited to move beyond the numbness of modernity and back into the vivid, sensual reality of the living earth. In this session of Seasonal School, we will be drawing inspiration from Sharon Blackie’s The Enchanted Life, exploring what it means to live in a participatory, deeply reciprocal and rooted relationship with our inner and outer landscapes.

Through somatic practice, dreamwork, animist inquiry, writing and shared reflection, we will cultivate the sensory clarity and rooted stability needed to navigate our current times with wonder and resilience.I have gathered my favorite trusted practices to create a three-month container for those who wish to live more intimately with themselves. This is not a typical school; it is a school of gnosis, of self-knowing through direct experience.

In a time of polycrisis, forging these inner resources is an essential life skill. These are the practices I have turned to for refuge and resilience for over 20 years. They are designed to be a sturdy container robust enough to encourage intimacy with life, but gentle enough to never feel heavy.

Seasonal School Testimonials

Carly's seasonal school is a rich and vital part of my life, and has been for 2.5 years. It is an anchor to a nurturing routine and a tether to stay in the real ground of my life. This school opens me to my inner knowing, teaches me to work gently and skillfully with my subtle body, and provides a path to greater authenticity and aliveness. Bill Plotkin writes that "Soul is the largest conversation you are capable of having with the world", and for me, Carly's seasonal school is the primary way that my true expression expands, as I learn about myself through dreamwork, meditation, writing and somatic practices.

Seasonal School has offered a depth and dimension to my life that feels both seismic and subtle, like my soul remembering what my conventional mind has forgotten, but yet has a natural thirst for. Like a seedling seeking sunlight. Through Carly’s trustworthy guidance and consistent, caring presence, I feel a semblance of learning to live as we were meant to live— in community, intuitively attuned, 'know thyself' as humble path and practice, with Mother Earth herself as steadfast teacher, revealing something essential with each new season, and ultimately inseparable from the ground of our very being.

Paying attention to my dreams has absolutely changed my life. I will always be so grateful to Carly for her teachings, especially her dreamwork sessions. Immeasurable gifts have arisen as I tap into this space; dreams and the imaginal realm have bridged connections within myself and helped me understand my deepest inner workings. Dreamwork has given me access to unlimited support through ancestors, guides, and guardians who now comfortably enrich my daily life. I understand now that these connections fulfill a deep longing to companion this journey through life.

I used to be such a seeker. Upon reflection, I don't think I truly understood what I was looking for until I stumbled into Carly's seasonal school. Her vast experience and gentle approach provide a wonderful framework for supportive self-inquiry and have brought me back to myself in the most unexpected and enchanting way. Walking this path, with Carly as a teacher to shine a light on our own embrace of our messy and beautiful lives, has been such a gift. Thank you, Carly, from my deepest heart and my awakened belly!

I am so grateful for Carly's qigong treatments. A single session combined with gentle follow-up practices not only cleared my ovarian pain and began to regulate my menstrual cycles, but also yielded profound insight into the original source of these long-time imbalances. This first session was a turning point for me, and additional treatments continue to deepen my experience of healing and energy cultivation. Carly's gentle, skillful and beautifully intuitive approach to Qi Gong has won my heart forever.

Carly is a warm, intuitive, compassionate individual with extensive knowledge and experience working with the subtle body. I have deeply appreciated her ability to hold space and help me work through some challenging areas in my life. Her mindful, non judgemental approach makes it easy to trust and talk with her and I have found her Qi Gong treatments to be incredibly grounding and profoundly healing. I feel blessed to have this opportunity to work with Carly one on one and for her gentle guidance in navigating this path of my life.

Carly has guided me in a myriad of ways to look at my inner life. The unseen terrain. Through workshops, courses and phone chats, I have been able to uncover some very well hidden and guarded aspects of myself, places where I get caught; aspects of myself that are stuck and holding me back from living a happier life.  A life that is more true to who I am. Opening to your vulnerabilities is tender work and I only dive in as much as I am able, but I do this knowing I have Carly’s unwavering support and wisdom at my side. What Carly offers is vast and is tailored to where you are at on your spiritual and emotional journey.
