Soul of the Earth Village

Where Families Learn Together

For a while I thought I was going to open a school.

But the more I sat with it… the more I realized something wasn’t feeling aligned. There was resistance, and not the kind that leads to growth, but the kind that says, this isn’t it.

It felt forced.

I think I initially wanted it because I see so many incredible alternative schools and learning spaces that already exist, people doing truly beautiful work, people I’m deeply inspired by. But the more I listened, and the more I prayed for clarity, the more I heard that the stirring inside me wasn’t a school at all.

It was something different.

A village where learning is not divided into “children here” and “adults there,” but held through both shared family experiences and thoughtfully supported drop-off programs.

Soul of the Earth Village is a living learning community rooted in connection between children, families, guides, and wisdom keepers.

Learning here is understood as something that can be shared, witnessed, and experienced in relationship, not only as something delivered, but something lived.

It is a space where learning is not separate from life.

Children are free to be outside, moving, exploring, creating, and building real skills through experience, relationship, and curiosity.

Play With Us

Where we learn not only from guides, experts, and wisdom keepers, but also from the parents within the community, creating space for homeschooling parents to share their knowledge not as something held privately, but as something that can be lived, shared, and offered in a way that also supports their families..

And where families are invited to stay connected - not just at the beginning and end of the day, but throughout the learning experience itself.

This 12-week small-group outdoor education program invites children into a hands-on, immersive experience in nature, where they build practical outdoor skills, deepen their connection to the land, and grow in confidence navigating wild spaces.
Throughout our time together, breathwork, movement, and nervous system regulation practices are thoughtfully woven into the rhythm of each gathering to support grounding, emotional awareness, presence, and self-regulation.
Each week follows a natural rhythm that may include:
• Opening circle with breathwork, movement, and grounding practices
• Sit spot (quiet observation in nature)
• Mapping and awareness skills
• Seasonal plant identification and wildlife tracking
• Practical outdoor skills (fire tending, harvesting wild edible and medicinal plants, shelter building, etc.)
• Nature-based games and sensory exploration
• Closing circle, reflection, song, or integration practice
One parent or caregiver from each family is welcome to join for the day, or families are invited to return for our closing circle as a way to reconnect, witness, and share in the experience together.
Children ages 4 and under are required to have a parent or caregiver remain present throughout the gathering. Siblings ages 2 and under are welcome to attend free when accompanying a registered child.
Activities are seasonal, weather-dependent, and guided by what is unfolding on the land at the time.
Ages: 0–10

Group Size: Small, intimate group (12 kids)
• Fire building & safety
• Shelter building & land awareness
• Plant identification & herbal connection
• Tracking, movement & nature-based games

Children will leave the program not only with practical knowledge and outdoor skills, but with greater confidence, connection, emotional awareness, and a deeper sense of belonging within the natural world.

Daughters of Earth and Moon:

Young Maidens Circle

Young Maidens Circle (Ages 9-12)
Together, we will journey into the wisdom of the womb, the sacred intelligence of our cycles, and the beauty of living in deeper relationship with the earth and the world around us.
This offering invites young maidens to reconnect with their moon time in a new way(even if they have not yet bled,) releasing shame, fear, and disconnection around menstruation while remembering the power, wisdom, and sacredness woven into the feminine body.
Through teachings on womb cosmology and womb mysticism, we’ll explore the cyclical nature of our bodies and how our inner seasons mirror the seasons of the earth. We’ll learn how to work with each phase of the cycle in ways that support us emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually, cultivating greater self-awareness, intuition, compassion, and trust in ourselves.
Together, we’ll also explore how to weave more ritual and ceremony into our everyday lives, remembering that the sacred is not separate from us, but lives within the small, intentional ways we move through the world each day. Through connection with the elements, earth, water, fire, and air, we’ll reflect on how nature can become both teacher and mirror. We’ll deepen our relationship with the living world through practices rooted in presence, reverence, and connection: listening to the birdsong, sitting with the trees, honouring the waters, tending the fire, and grounding into the earth beneath our feet.
This circle is an invitation for young maidens to remember their connection to themselves, to their bodies, to the rhythms of nature, and to the sacredness woven through all of life.
Our intention here is to support young maidens in remembering their inherent wisdom, power, and magic early in life so they always know they have a place to come home to, rooted in their bodies, the earth, and their own inner knowing.

She holds a passion for weaving ceremonial, healing spaces; and has had the honour to facilitate both online and worldwide within the last 8 years. While exploring a vast terrain of Embodiment and Spiritual Arts, the path of Womb Healing & Reclamation became incredibly central on Britt's path. She awakened to the depth, power and beauty of her own womb through physical ailment as a cunning teacher, her relationship with the Earth, and the collective cry out for repair with the feminine principle.
Not only does Britt hold a growing body of work that invites women to come to know their womb-body-soul intimately, she also has 12+ years of working with Children & Families. She is an Early Childhood Educator, certified in Children's Yoga, and has been holding Ritual Spaces for healing, connection and empowerment for children and families alongside. She has completed courses like 'Raising Sexually Healthy Children' and 'Mindfulness for Children' and is thrilled to be offering a space for girls to connect to the brilliance of their bodies as an extension of Mother Earth.
Brit Calixterio is a breathwork practitioner, ceremonialist, community weaver, space holder, homeschooling mother, and the founder of Bearheart Breathwork and Soul of the Earth Village.
Her work is rooted in remembrance through breath, motherhood, and a deep return to nature as teacher. She believes the breath is our first medicine, and that through it we can soften, release, and come back into right relationship with ourselves.
A core part of her work is weaving ceremony into everyday life, remembering the sacred in the ordinary and returning to relationship with the elements as living teachers. Through earth, water, fire, and air, she invites a deeper listening to what is always here supporting us. She believes the natural world offers constant medicine and reflection, and that healing happens in relationship with it.
At the heart of her work is a devotion to remembering, the body, nature, and inner knowing.

This is a space for families, for both adults and children, to slow down, to connect, and to remember the beauty of gathering in circle.
All are welcome.

About the Village

Hi, I’m Brit, the heart behind Soul of the Earth Village.

For many years, I’ve been holding spaces through breathwork, ceremony, and community gatherings. This work has shaped the way I listen, how I hold others, and how I support people in coming back into their bodies and what feels true.

Soul of the Earth Village was born through my own journey of homeschooling, unlearning, and following what felt aligned for my family. It continues to evolve as I listen to what is needed, both for children and for the adults who are walking alongside them.

My role here is to hold the container, to weave rhythm, support the guides who share their gifts, and help nurture a space where connection to land, learning, and community can deepen over time.

You’ll often find me present in the background of the space, supporting where needed, holding ceremony when called for, and tending to the ongoing weaving of this village.
