She is an initiated Mayan wisdom keeper. James Hobson has more than 30 years experience as a fire keeper and Nature Elder Messenger. Together they create a wonderful opportunity for guests to grow, learn, and develop their own relationship with Spirit and the Land.

The Summer Solstice Weekend at StoneHeart, held annually in Coe Hill, Ontario, offers a profound experience with a Mayan Sacred Fire Ceremony to honor nature, the Creator, and the 20 Nawals. This is a time for spiritual transformation, releasing old patterns, and embracing the sun's energy to inspire change and connection. Participants are encouraged to bring sacred offerings, drums, and rattles, and to follow Indigenous protocols by wearing skirts (for women). A potluck follows the ceremony for shared community connection.
