Soil. Skin. Bone.

A home for the wild body, the mythic soul, and the ancestral remembering.

I’m Louise, the face behind Soil.Skin.Bone (Weaving Wonderment) and the creator of Animal Body: a body of work born through years of listening to land, death, dream, myth, and bone.

My work lives at the threshold where body meets earth, where grief meets devotion, where instinct meets myth, and where the old ways of relating to a living world begin to stir again beneath modern forgetting.

I do not offer spirituality as performance, nor borrowed ritual as aesthetic.

What I offer is an invitation into relationship. Relationship with the body as animal, with instinct as intelligence, with myth as ancestral, with the land as living teacher, with death, eros, grief, and the thresholds that shape a human life.

If you are longing to come back into your skin, back into the land, back into right relationship with the living world

you are in the right place.

My Work

Everything I offer emerges from the same root:

The remembering that we were never separate from the wild.

Through retreat, ritual, apprenticeship, mentorship, and craft, I create spaces that invite people into deeper relationship with the ancient animal body and the animate world around them.

Whether through movement, myth, drum, death work, deer hide, dream, grief tending, or direct encounter with the land, my work is devoted to one thing:

Helping people remember how to belong again.

Why This Work Is Different

Much modern spirituality offers techniques for transcendence, My work asks something else:

Not how to rise above the body, but how to descend more fully into it.

Not how to escape the ordinary world, but how to become intimate enough with it that the sacred begins to reveal itself again.

This is not self-improvement , It is remembering.

For Those Who Feel The Ache Of This Remembering

If something in your bones stirs as you read these words, if you feel the longing for a spirituality rooted in land, body, myth, instinct, and relationship, I would be honoured to walk with you.

Crafted By Hand

Alongside my facilitation work, I create ceremonial objects rooted in the same devotion to land, craft, and remembrance.

Each drum, deer skin, rawhide, rattle, and ritual tool is made by hand in reverence—through relationship with hide, bone, wood, and the old ways of making.

These are not products made for consumption alone. They are crafted objects of practice, prayer, and belonging.
