Stirring the Bones – A Creative Incubator for Deep, Integrative Change

  • Jan 20
  • 2 min read

Calon y Ddraig has just announced its upcoming year-long virtual group, “Stirring the Bones,” an incubator offering soul-based wisdom, as well as right- and left-brain exploration, and support in bringing longer-term creative goals and projects into being. The group will meet bi-weekly via Zoom on Tuesdays from 11 am to 1 pm CST, beginning March 24, 2026, and welcomes creatives, sensitives, and depth creatures who seek support and mentoring rooted in the wisdom of the old stories and the retrieval and integration of lost parts of the Soul seeking to return home.


A red, dragon-like creature gracefully ascends through swirling bones and light in a gradient yellow to brown background, evoking a mystical aura.

In her seminal work, “Women Who Run With the Wolves,” Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Éstes reminds us that “Stories are medicine... story is far older than the art and science of psychology, and will always be the elder in the equation no matter how much time passes… Stories set the inner life into motion, and this is particularly important where the inner life is frightened, wedged, or cornered.”


With the power of the old stories as its foundation, this year-long exploration will allow participants to:


  • Experience consistent support and gentle accountability in moving steadily towards their self-identified creative goal(s);

  • Gain an embodied understanding of the Feminine & Masculine Growth Lines as they pertain to creative process;

  • Develop an appreciation for the archetype of the Weaver and learn how to lean into her shifting and non-linear flows with greater trust;

  • Deepen trust in their own intuitive knowing;

  • Recognize places of “injured instinct” within themselves and support these places in beginning to come back into alignment;

  • Strengthening the protection and hardiness of their own energy fields;

  • Broadening their range of choices in how to respond to what life and creative process offer on a day-to-day basis; and

  • Develop access to deeper relationships with animal, plant, and elemental energies as well as with well-resourced and supportive ancestors.


All group sessions will be facilitated by shamanic practitioner, storyteller, and artist, Eamon Willow Davies, MSSW, and will include an embodied arrival exercise, check-in circle, focused guidance and/or skill-development, and a sharing of one of the old stories as fits and aligns with the material being evoked through the group process and progression. As Eamon Willow is currently immersed in a year-long Celtic storytelling apprenticeship with Daniel Allison’s “Myth Singers,” the majority of the stories will come from the old Celtic tales and myths, with stories from other parts of the world weaving in as befits the needs and energy of each session.


Registration is now open for this select group opportunity, and those interested can check out the Calon y Ddraig website for more information and to schedule an exploratory conversation towards possible participation in this year-long adventure.
