Let’s get cozy together this Holiday Season!
$30 monthly membership that you can cancel ANYTIME!
The winter season is a time for slowing down, enjoying the fruits of the sunny seasons, resting and reflection.
It’s a time:
for sinking deep into our crafts and sharing in front of our fires.
to feel, play, sleep and reflect.
for small rituals and meaning making.
to grieve and enjoy our blessings.
Busyness & Chaos
Modern holidays in late stage capitalism demand impossible social media standards, and glorify spending in a time when the cost of living has risen. It keeps busy and distracted, with all the baking, planning, shopping, spending. It’s an intentional recipe for failure that pulls us into an endless loop that serves capitalism and really doesn’t serve us at all.
There’s no time to reflect and rest in the capitalist holiday calendar; no time to build resilience to remain grounded when the people around us might not feel that way , set boundaries, or find contentment in the slow season of darkness. We end up tired, depleted, and often broke. Not exactly that Norman Rockwell scenario we strive to recreate.
Here is your invitation...
To step out of the cycle together this season. Give yourself the gift of time to remember what really calls to YOU at this time, and allow space to create it over the next month..
Kin Keepers’ Haven
We have created a space in the Kin Keepers’ Haven for you to set intentions, come back to your body, honor grief, and find belonging over the holidays; a space to share ideas about how we can celebrate and honor this sacred time of the year with joy; a space to create and practice small rituals, co-regulation and connection; a space to support the way you want to feel through all the season.
Meet your Hosts
Janine and Trevia are excited to welcome you to our sanctuary to co-create this space together.

Janine Bertolo (she/her)
Living on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishanaabe People, colonially renamed Gatineau, Quebec, Canada.
I’m an anti-capitalist crone, certified post trauma growth coach, and political junkie who helps humans to identify and unlearn the voices of systemic oppression that are planted in our brains from an early age. I long for a world where all living beings have equal access to the necessities of life, including laughter, rest, creativity, and joy. My dog is pretty cute too. I love books, art, birdwatching, and prowling the countryside with my love.

Trevia supports people in unpacking cultural appropriation, community building, as well as helping Culture Makers gift the world with their knowledge, lived experience and wisdom so not only they, but their clients can thrive.

We are creating a co-creating a space that centers healing from misogyny and working towards a future where we can have spaces that can include all people without harm.
This is multigenerational transformation. This is a brave space for those who have been most harmed by misogyny to do the work of reclaiming our authenticity and dismantling all forms of oppression.
