Jewelz Ann Lovejoy -
Artist & Creatress

Jewlez is a visionary Creatrix, mother, and sacred artist whose life’s work bridges beauty, healing, and spiritual empowerment. Over time, she realized that every path she walked whether in hair artistry, ceremony, or holistic wellness was an act of living art.

As a master hair designer and color specialist, Reiki Master, Light Worker, licensed esthetician, and Spirit Spa lineage carrier, Jewelz has spent decades helping others bridge the inner and outer self through sacred self-care and intuitive transformation. Initiated into the Spirit Spa lineage through her mentor and teacher, she carries this work forward through her own lived artistry, ceremonial presence, and home-based healing sanctuary she calls Spirit Spa. Her studies in Kundalini meditation, American-Celtic Shamanism, and Goddess-centered ceremony have deepened her path as a ceremonial leader, circle keeper, and Earth-based guide.

Jewelz has led Djembe drumming circles, raced motorcross in off-road terrain, and mothered a life and business rooted in creativity, resilience, and fierce feminine wisdom. She believes that every day is an opportunity to create, to inspire, and to remember who we are. She is devoted to helping others awaken their own flame of truth and creativity through touch, ritual art, and soulful mentorship so all may walk the path of their own radiant becoming.

Catherine Dart - Regenerator

Catherine, from a young age, has been exploring - and like all of us, has experienced the bounty and the pain of life. Having both traveled extensively and lived abroad in several countries, it has informed her of how much we are all alike.

As the world becomes smaller, it is ever more clear to recognize and appreciate our connections to one another and is the way we will truly survive, grow and benefit ourselves and our future.

As the mother of two now young adults and midway through her own life, it is critical to restore and revive ourselves and this planet in whatever manner you can offer. It is time for Regeneration.

Dana Gillem Klaebe - Priestess

Dana has a degree in painting from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. For 30 years she has concentrated her creative efforts on painting and mixed media. Her work is primarily influenced by mythology, decorative arts and expressionists, as well as crows, ravens and magpies – all collectors of shiny, sparkly things. Her paintings are the result of a lengthy process of building surfaces, reducing those surfaces and recreating them over and over, until surface and meaning are revealed. Armed with a power sander and boxes of golden glitter and paint, each work reveals shimmering secrets of distant places and time.

Hello! I'm Sharon Ann Rose

A mother, author, ceremonialist, and devoted steward of the sacred feminine. For over 25 years, I've midwifed women through personal, professional, and spiritual rebirth.

Initiated into the mysteries of the heart–womb connection through motherhood and nature, I've spent my life listening deeply to women’s stories ~ holding space for what longs to be spoken, honored, and restored. My work affirms the co-creative power within women ~ the force that births relationships, systems, and new worlds. ৡ

Grounded in women’s studies, the feminine mysteries, spiritual peacemaking, and sacred union, my presence is marked by listening, curiosity, and a deep trust in the unfolding path ~ even when its destination remains unknown.

I live in Portland, Oregon, USA with my husband, our three sons, and a crew of urban farm animals. My days are nourished by forest walks, early morning sunrises, barefoot gardening, tending chickens and quail, swimming in natural waters, and communing with the aliveness of the Earth. ৡ
