MEET YOUR FACILITATORS

 

 

Hello Sister!

We are Cherstaria & Carrie Poe, and we have been journeying together in womb centered work since 2019.

We met through our beloved lineage, Song of Sophia School, and recognized we'd known one another for lifetimes before.  We affectionately refer to ourselves as the Swan Sisters.  

We are both plant-taught, womb-wise Ceremonial Healers and Sophianic Wave practitioners- and we each bring our own unique medicine to the cauldron of this creation. We are both within the threshold of the peri & menopause initiation, and this container we are offering is also the container we desire.

We have created together for many incarnations, and we invite you to join us now!

Carrie Poe 

As a Sophianic Ceremonialist & Guide, I’m here to help you reconnect with the wisdom of your body and the unique song of your soul.  I help those with the longing to bridge the gap between their busy outer lives and their soul's deep knowing. 

Gifting the felt sense of mother love is my particular gift and greatest joy.  The pathway is divinely guided including:

  • Somatic Journeys & Integration
  • Plant Spirit Ceremony
  • Healing through Song
  • Practical 3D life Coaching
  • Hands on energy healing
  • Practices to connect to seasonal rhythms and shifts, both within and without

Cherstaria Crystal-Lynn

is a Brigidine midwife, mother, and womb-centered ceremonialist informed by plant medicine wisdom and the divine creative spark.

I bring the songs of the plants together with oracular inspiration to support your path, your integration of trauma and life-cycle events, and your connection to Gaia Sophia. I listen deeply to the truth you and your body express but that you might not see or hear.

I contribute to and draw from deep wells of ancestral and spirit-honored tradition and have studied and practiced for many years garnering a body of lived experience through dark nights of the soul and through rebirth into new realms of freedom and liberation.

I offer plant attunement, ceremony, creative exploration, and restoration of the divine feminine for all genders. I'm also a writer, songwriter, and poet and love to create with word magic.

CLAIMING OUR QUEENDOMS

Across 6 calls,  we will move into our bodies and learn to dance within the flame and inspiration of midlife transformation.  

CALLING OUR GUIDES

We call upon the love of Gaia Sophia, our beloved plant and human teachers, our sisters, and our most well healed ancestors as support for this passage: our wisdom of cellular memory within each part of us gets to come along for this ride.  

INTRODUCING...

THE SECOND BLOOM

 

A Mythical, Magical offering of SUPPORT and COMMUNITY on navigating the path of menopause to Matriarch.

THIS FLOWERING HOLDS CAPACITY FOR TRUE EXPRESSION OF YOUR SOUL.

In our first budding at menarche, whether or not we consciously realized it, we received capacity to create and prioritize conditions to build a nest from which to birth (whether your births were physical, spiritual, or practical).

At menopause (and peri), we are hormonally, spiritually, and energetically supported to cross another threshold into a NEW station in life, from mother into Magi or Queen.

This Second Bloom can be a perfect time to ALLOW ourselves to live from a place of delight of the inner child coupled with decisive certainty in OUR choices and desires. 

It’s an opportunity to LIVE for what lights you up inside, Sister!

Entering the Flame

INITIATE your true spark and let go of old identities and patterns that no longer fit. 

Ascending the Throne

EMBRACE your inner sovereignty and wisdom, exploring fortitude and sanctuary in the center of your center.

The Second Bloom

OPEN to a new phase of power, delight, and clarity.  

Samhain Threshold Retreat

 October 30-November 3, 2025 in the beautiful forests of Bellair Michigan

An Optional In-Person Ceremonial Plant Medicine Retreat for Second Bloom participants wishing to go deeper with Carrie and Cherstar with the support of our plant allies.

In the potent energies of the Samhain portal, we cross a threshold into the deep autumn colors of our lives.  As the forever green of summer falls away, we show our true colors in a display of authenticity-we no longer want or need to edit for anyone’s eyes.  For four nights, we will journey together into the truth of our own hearts and lived experience.  

During this journey we will be witnessed by the women around us who are also standing at this threshold between seasons.  Somewhere between the end of summer and the beginning of winter we stand, each in her perfect placement.  Into the darkness of liminal spaces we will go- the fertile darkness of the womb where the seeds of all organic life swim in the oceans of our wombs. 

 This is the place where the answers to all of our questions reside.  

In this way we rebirth ourselves into the second bloom of life.  This bloom is for our internal universe, our internal expression.  It is not curated for the public eye.  It does not care how it appears to others.  It is a bloom that we midwife in ourselves for our highest expression. 

🌀 What’s Included:

  • 4 nights in a cozy forest lodge 
  • Sacred ceremony with the mushroom ancestors
  • Daily yoga and/or embodiment practices 
  • Deep soul exploration & personal myth retrieval
  • Guided nature communion & land connection including time with wild waters!
  • Fireside chats & authentic sisterhood
  • Organic, nourishing meals 

IS SECOND BLOOM RIGHT FOR YOU?

 

Midlife is a time of burning away all that isn't quite right in our lives.  This fire can get soooo hot! 

Maybe you used to be able to brush off the feeling you got when your partner or boss pulled rank on you in subtle ways before “to keep the peace” and now it’s unbearable.  

Maybe you used to give people who disrespected or disregarded you third and fourth chances but now you just  want to walk away.  

Maybe you used to say yes to social commitments that you really wanted to say no to.  Events that you “had to go to.”  But now you can’t find the energy to make yourself go. 

Maybe you have already made this passage and intuit that you have parts to retrieve that were left behind.

Maybe you just need a little bit of embrace, a little bit of community to gather with through this doorway.

Join us here. In this place of PROCLAMATION.
