As the younger sister of Amy, Queen Bee of the Sacred Hive, my introduction to the world of retreats was “How can I help, I want to help?” So in 2018, I was granted a great gift of going to our sweet Madison and Amy’s magical retreat. Along I came with my car loaded down and my kitchen apron packed ready to cook and help. What started as a weekend of work ended up being the spark I needed. The women I met that weekend spread out a seeded quilt of knowledge to us all that continues to sprout, all these years later.

Madison. My journey here begins with my cousin, Madison.  This journey that I’ve begun to think of as the ever-unfurling gift that she left with me. Last year was my very first time stepping into the sacred sisterhood circle — and what a beautiful, healing adventure it turned out to be. I arrived open-hearted yet full of emotion, not knowing what to expect as we gathered to remember our sweet M.  Two days later, I left feeling deeply connected to a circle of incredible women I hadn’t known before — and a little more healed, knowing I would carry her spirit with me, always.

With over five decades of embodied wisdom, I’ve come to see life as a dance—a blend of laughter, healing, movement, and soulful connection. I’m Cathy Eason: holistic nutritionist, health educator, massage and bodywork specialist, yogi, and lifelong believer in the power of whole foods and whole life living.  

Hi everyone — this is Melissa! I’m so excited that our Sacred Sisterhood community has grown in both size and connection to the point where we now get to gather online. Each of us on the leadership committee will be introducing ourselves here, and I’m happy to volunteer to go first.

Honestly, I’m living my dreams in a grounded, abundant and spiritual life. I’ve done my best to redefine my humanness and practice gobs of acceptance. I owe this sacred path to many things…the love from my friends and family, the teachings from earth medicines, the reflections I receive when I integrate the work and of course the conversations I have with my version of God/Spirit/Universe.

Rooted in the Ozarks, I was raised in a small town with a big-hearted community and a family that believed in showing up for one another. That sense of connection shaped who I am—grateful, grounded, and guided by love and support.
