The Arbor
Legacy
Leadership Program
A multi-year transformational leadership program with three in-person retreats each year to step into your service and purpose while learning the art of ceremony, dreaming, constellation, nature, and embodiment with Grandmother Sarah.
Applications will open soon for Fall 2024.
Welcome
THIS IS YOUR INVITATION to step out of a patriarchal, linear existence and lean into your soul’s purpose in an organic, mutually beneficial way of leadership and belonging.
You will do this alongside a devoted community of like-minded healers, coaches, therapists, circle-holders, seekers, and change-makers.
There’s a call right now to become a spiritual agent of change.
There is a deep yearning to live in reciprocal connection with the earth, the elements, the rise and fall of the seasons, and to embrace the great unknown—the liminal space, the betwixt and between.
To be in relationship with the rhythm of the universe itself.
And, of course, with each other.
You’re well underway on your personal and spiritual growth journey.
But what would it feel like to experience greater support and resourcing while in relationship with others?
To alchemize and expand your knowledge, gifts, wisdom, and insight into service?
Through gnosis, self-inquiry, research, and discussion,
The Arbor Legacy is an experiential program taught in a spiralic, co-created way.
Who it’s for…
Learn the art of ceremony, dreaming, constellation, nature, and embodiment under the mentorship and support of Grandmother Sarah, along with other members of The Arbor Legacy.
Discover the tools and skills to heal and inspire your community as you explore the depths of your own self-inquiry. Learn ancient earth ways and ancestral wisdom, root into your own cosmology, and understand what it means to be in right relationship.
The Arbor Legacy is open to all who feel called to
- Expand your consciousness, access intuitive knowledge, and gain confidence as a leader.
- Expertly create ceremonies for yourself and your community.
- Form profound connections with individuals on the same path of leadership.
- Go deep in a supportive community cohort for the year, strengthening your integration, understanding, and application of the work.
- Hold both the seen and unseen, the visible and invisible.
- Become a visionary dedicated to serving the planet and following your soul’s purpose.
Being in the Arbor Legacy has been one of the most nourishing and richest experiences because I am in community with a group of people who are so devoted to honoring themselves the Earth and humanity as a whole, which are things that are deeply important to me. Within this group and my smaller cohort, I feel incredibly supported and loved for EXACTLY who I am, which I don’t think I have experienced in communities before at this depth.

Our commitment to equity
Everyone carries dignity, wisdom and belonging. Our systems have reinforced the illusion of separateness and created structures of oppression and hierarchy. We are each responsible for understanding our relationship to these systems. We are committed to unearthing how these dynamics play out within ourselves and our community. Nothing is created until we dream it first; we are a community dreaming in a more liberated world.
Acknowledgement to Becca Piastrelli for the inspiration for this fee structure and wording
“Together, we are creating a movement of change led by strong and connected community members.
Let this movement of change ripple out and transform darkness into light.”

Explain what you mean by “multi-year facilitator training program”
The Arbor Legacy is a multi-year facilitator training program that begins with Betwixt and Between (Year 1), followed by Elemental Weaving (Year 2), and Alchemy in Action (Year 3). Each year consists of nine months.
Do I need to take The Dreamer & The Messenger if I’ve participated in other dream circles not led by Grandmother Sarah’s teachings?
Yes, you will still need to take this class (at a deeply discounted price of $100). We want to ensure you understand the basic principles of indigenous dreaming, as this will be the foundation for future dreamwork throughout the program. We will be offering The Dreamer and The Messenger in the Fall for all those in the Arbor that need to take it or would like a refresher.
