Gathering the Bones

School of Way & Bone

for Practitioners, Creatives, Collaborative Visionaries and Edge Tenders

Gathering the Bones is a uniquely crafted mentorship for women who know it’s time to connect more deeply to your unique gifts and medicine -

Devoted space to sharpen and hone the Art and Skill of crafting and guiding strong containers, holding transformational and ceremonial spaces, and gaining fluency in your medicine as space holders, practitioners, and collaborative visionaries in these times.

The Art and Practice of Honing

This highly experiential training is a small, intimate group experience. To maintain the integrity of strong container work and true mentorship, there are only 5-8 spaces.

Gathering the Bones is, at its roots, an apprenticeship with your medicine and training ground to strengthen, fortify, and deepen your skills as a guide, space holder, and collaborative visionary.

This container is not beginner terrain; it is for those who have some experience, are in relationship with their gifts, and are on the scent of that which is yet known and emergent. For those who are ready to devote time, energy, and focus to becoming more seasoned soul guides of these times.

We’ll anchor together in council, depth practices, and inner/outer work so we can inhabit our gifts more truly and fully to cultivate the potency and skills needed to bring our most generative work forward.

Key terrain and content we’ll cover:

*soul gifts + medicine

*crafting + holding strong containers

*art of ritual + ceremony

*tracking + guiding skills

*strong collaboration + transformative relationships (tracking power and the wounded feminine)

*instinct + improvisation

*tending creative fire + vision

Practices during our time together include:

  • Soul based expression + craft

  • Shadow + story work

  • Council

  • Ritual, Ritual Theater + Ceremony

  • Nature Connection (inner/outer)

  • Deep Imagery Journeys

  • Healing + Expressive Arts

  • Myth + Movement

Phase One Focus and Core Skills:

~gathering our medicine and harvesting our gifts

~uncovering the essential relationship and synergy of our gifts and skills

~guiding tools of attunement, tracking and reading the field

~arc and rhythm of crafting strong containers (brave space)

~clear communication and holding transformational spaces - navigating challenge/edges

~ritual and ceremonial structure and core pillars (soulcentric)

Phase Two Focus and Core Skills:

~advanced tracking skills (how to pivot, adapt, respond instinctively and effectively)

~deepening skills of mirroring and attunement (often overlooked how significantly this serves a container)

~designing and guiding containers that reflect and align with your unique gifts and medicine (soul centered guiding)

~enactment and embodiment (practice) of our gifts and skills

~collaboration and co-creation - the art of weaving and navigating bumps/challenges

Our soul gifts and guiding skills carry a sacred synergy that is so often missing and overlooked.

Gifts without skills leave us foggy, unable to execute or craft our visions, and skills without our gifts leave us in a mechanistic or disembodied style that greatly limits our ability to craft, hold, and fully deliver what we long to bring to the world. 

And what the world hungers for.

Gathering the Bones is space to honor and strengthen this vital relationship.

Is this for me?

This mentorship is a fit if you have experience, are an evolving artist and practitioner craving a well-crafted space and intimate container to make way for what is emerging in you, strengthen your relationship with your medicine, fortify key skills as a guide and collaborative visionary, while having a devoted, seasoned mentor support you, mirror your gifts and powers, and hold your edges with you - naming the places you might be hiding from or hijacking yourself. 

This space honors the art of apprenticeship that has been missing for too long - sacred space to hone the ways and skills that have been stifled or suppressed and that we long for. 

And the world needs.

Gathering the Bones is for women who are in service to the Great Web, Mystery and Great Turning.

Your Guide + Mentor

Gathering the Bones has been cooking for several years, with tending and time to ripen as needed. This container reflects the call I am in to share my many years of experience, training, and dirt-time as a giveaway to those rising in their commitment to their medicine and strong guiding. Time to re-member the sacred art of apprenticeship with your medicine, with space to deepen and embody the needed skills for what is asking to come through you.

This mentorship comes in two phases as we travel the wheel from Autumn through late Spring with resting and fallow time January - February so we are inhabiting sacred rhythms.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

School of Way and Bone is for creatives, collaborative visionaries, practitioners, and edge tenders to root deep, build strong community, sharpen key skills and be well-resourced so that together, we can bring our most regenerative, fertile wisdom/work into the world.

For the long Way.

MotherBone is known for her capacity and unique skill to hold transformative space and mentor with great love, precision, edge tending, and humor.

Tish Linstrom, aka “MotherBone” brings over 35 years of experience + training as a guide, teacher, holistic practitioner, and mentor.

“When the call comes to apprentice your medicine - to deepen into the wisdom you carry and lay down the constant striving so you can hear and refine what is truly yours…..you have stepped into sacred ground.

Those who follow the trail and re-member their full song, bring gifts and essential nourishment for a hungry world.”

— Tish/MotherBone

Words from Women I’ve guided

  • “MotherBone is a steady guide, tracking the energy, drawing out what is hidden, and holding a beautiful space for transformation. Highly recommend taking the journey.” TP

  • ....Because she is unafraid of any parts that come up, you can quickly let go of fear too in pursuit of something more true and present. MotherBone’s responsiveness in addressing whatever material arises with the right amount of heat and light is indescribable. Whether through poetry, visioning and active imagination, movement, mythology, archetypes, or one word or question with just the right resonant tone, she supports the inner journey in ways that are so rare and life-giving. To work with MotherBone is to open yourself to the soul’s most important questions and in doing so to reenchant yourself with all of life itself.

    ~JB

  • The way MotherBone holds space is unlike anyone else. She is both strong and fierce — a mountain rooted in truth — and yet soft and kind, like moss cushioning stone. Her presence invites you deeper into your own marrow.

    And the sisterhood… the bonds formed here will live in my heart for a lifetime. To be witnessed, to witness others, to remember that we are not alone — this is soul nourishment we rarely allow ourselves in the fast pace of modern life.

    ~KG

  • MotherBone brings an energy and a full presence I have rarely experienced…I didn’t realize how healing it would be for me to be with someone who holds space as she does…what a difference it made for me to finally release old patterns and claim my gifts.

    ~BL

  • “Words cannot begin to describe how transformative working with Tish has been.  I joined a mentorship last year and still can’t believe how much clarity I gained into my life and my gifts.” JS
