Keepers Of The Seasons

Creating Space for the Spirit to Remember

Land-based teachings with Darcy & Jenny Fisher

WALKING THROUGH THE SEASONS

Monthly Gatherings | March through October 2026

A Year of Learning, Making, and Reconnecting

Every month we gather to walk with the land, work with seasonal plants, prepare nourishing food, and remember that we belong to the living world.

These gatherings blend Indigenous knowledge, hands-on making, and gentle ceremony. No experience needed. Just curiosity and willingness to walk softly.

Each month includes:

  • One Community Circle (2-3 hours, $85 USD)

  • One Hands-On Workshop (half-day, $250 USD)

RETURNING TO THE BODY

Walking Through the Seasons - March Gathering

Facilitated by Darcy & Jenny Fisher, Keepers of the Seasons

  • Date: March 20th, 2026
    Time: 10 AM - 4 PM (4-6 hours)
    Location: Within ʔAMAK̓IS KTUNAXA
    Cost: $250 USD per person (includes food + materials)
    Register: info@kotstek.com

  • March is when we ask the land for permission to walk together again.

    The waters begin to move. Buds swell. The first greens press quietly through cold soil. This gathering is about reawakening spirit, reuniting heart and mind after winter's separation, and walking within a permissive state where we reintroduce ourselves to the natural world like a spiritual hug.

    We observe what is emerging. We assess the health and wellness of the land. We identify where our harvesting areas will be in the months to come. We tread lightly enough that the land recognizes our footsteps as prayer.

    We learn to leave footprints that matter. The kind that guide our spirit home. The kind that honor those who walked before us. The kind that show those yet to come how we walked, how we listened, how we cared.

  • Morning: Welcome circle, seasonal tea, meet early plant relatives (birch, willow, cottonwood, conifers, dandelion, wild strawberry), gentle land walk, story and reflection

    Afternoon: Prepare root + broth soup together, early spring tea tasting, simple infused spring fat or oil to take home, shared meal, closing gratitude circle

    Focus: Warmth, minerals, fats that carry medicine. Grounding foods, respectful relationships, rebuilding the body after winter.

    Bring: Weather-appropriate clothing, water bottle, notebook. Small basket optional. March is for noticing, not heavy harvesting.

  • Year-long land-based gatherings rooted in Indigenous ecological knowledge, food as medicine, and ancestral teachings. You do not need experience or perfection. You only need curiosity and a willingness to walk gently.

    For those who cannot. For those just remembering. For those yet to come.

    September calls us back to earth. Root medicine, autumn salves, and preparing the body for winter.

  • Community Circle: Grief, Gratitude & Story
    Workshop: Winter Preparation + Medicine Making

    October closes the circle. We honor what we've learned, prepare for winter, and gather around fire for story and song.

  • We're choosing to live this year differently - more outdoors, more nourishment, more making with our hands, more teaching through being rather than explaining.

    In times that feel uncertain, one of the most powerful things we can do is gather, learn, cook, create, and walk together. These seasonal gatherings help us feed our homes, strengthen our spirits, and remember that the earth still provides.

    We're doing this to tend both our own family and our wider community - sharing practical skills, ancestral knowledge, and simple joys that help us live well together.

    For those who cannot. For those just remembering. For those yet to come.

What To Expect

    • Seasonal plant identification and harvesting

    • Food as medicine (cooking, preserving, nourishing)

    • Traditional skills (soap, salves, teas, syrups)

    • Land-based practices and protocols

    • Time outdoors with plants and land

    • Shared meals prepared together

    • Circle and ceremony

    • Hands-on making (you take things home)

    • Story and reflection

    • Deeper relationship with land and plants

    • Connection to others walking this path

  • This isn't lecture-based learning. We work side by side. We make mistakes together. We figure things out together. The real learning happens when your hands are in it.

    We both bring years of experience in human services and community wellness. We work well with people reclaiming themselves. We're patient with those in active recovery, those rebuilding, those actively seeking change. Our teaching is grounded in self-care and mindfulness because we understand that making things by hand, working with plants, rendering fat, preparing food, is itself healing.

    Teaching goes beyond recipes and measurements. It's about relationship: with land, with plants, with each other, with ourselves.

  • Darcy Fisher (Ktunaxa) & Jenny Fisher (Salish, Kootenai, Pend d'Oreille)

    We're co-owners of Six Twenty Skincare, co-authors of Walking Through the Seasons (320 pages, 66+ plants, framework for intimate relationship with natural world and self), and practitioners with decades of combined experience in plant medicine, traditional foods, human services, and community wellness work.

    What we're sharing comes from generational knowledge passed down through our families, gifted by Elders and knowledge holders who trusted us to carry it forward. This knowledge has evolved with modern science and practice while staying rooted in what our ancestors knew.
