Our mission, vision, inspiration & philosophy; fostering connection.
To create a sanctuary for the soul, where people come to connect with the land, themselves and one another by engaging in relational & creative processes.
By acknowledging the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and practical aspects at play in process based arts/crafts we bring awareness to the transformation. These alchemical processes can provide powerful reflections and become embodied in ourselves and the objects we create.
To explore humanity, our relationship to the earth, and how we take responsibility individually and collectively to acknowledge, value and sit in the balance.
In 2026, we look forward to inviting individuals and groups to this land, place, and space to engage in a variety of ways and lengths of time. While we will offer some weekend workshops, our focus turns toward supporting longer-term immersive experiences and mentorships—rooted in land-based practices, art, and traditional skills—beyond the weekend workshop model. Building relationship requires, attention, attunement, and commitment. Moving with the seasons, one moment at a time.
This is the Year of the Deer at Coyote Tales, a year-long dedication to practice and deepen into our relationship with deer consciousness. We look forward to sharing these processes within an alliance-based ritual context and animist perspective where learning unfolds through presence, reciprocity, and skin time.
We look forward to offering some unique experiential and process focused in-person/online workshops in 2026. Our guiding focus and inspiration this year is rooted in exploring death and the generative cycles of life through hands on process based craft and artistic creation that calls us into the somatic field of lived experience and invites us into liminal spaces full of transformative potential. May we honour the thresholds.
As we continue to navigate the balance of being on the internet and present in person, we look forward to offering: public and private group circles on Zoom and in the physical world:
- Grief Ritual Circles
- Dream Alliance Sessions
- Community Building Conversation Forums.
- Crafting Circles
- Dance Dome Series
- Woman’s Circle and Sauna Nights
- Deerly Departed Engagements
We are excited to share our hand crafted creations with you this year available in our online shop. With copper & silver jewelry, hand cut stones, leatherwork, naturally brain tanned deer skins, rawhide and our new Deerly Departed series of ritual tools. We are currently working on a collection that focuses on and deepens our relationship with death and dying – called, “Ritual Remains”. Where art meets craft.
We look forward to sharing our creations with you soon!
Coyote Tales Farm Studios has been and continues to be home to a variety of domesticated and wild animals. From White Tailed Deer to Ziggy & Cider, a couple retired draft horses, from a multiplicity of wild birds to many egg laying chickens, from quick and spunky wild hares to tasty meat rabbits, from howling wolves/coyotes to human companion dogs and so on….
From the smallest of micro organisms that live in the soil to the largest black bears in the forests and everything in between, we value and appreciate all animals.
Conversations around “settlement/civilization/colonization”, and agriculture rise to the surface in the space. The keeping of live stock and farming/cultivation practices begs us to consider the impact we have on the environment, food sovereignty and cultural conditioning that plays a part in our own processes of domestication and control. Tending to this ‘farm” consistently invites us to question the ways in which live today, how we have come to be here and to recognize the impact our modern times have on all living beings.
Coyote Tales is an event space to Rewild, Renew, & Celebrate.
We offer a variety of venue & rental options to support your community gathering, workshops, and group adventure experiences.
We are elated to be offering longer stays for those interested in an immersive environment to explore community, land connection, and individual practices here at Coyote Tales this year. We look forward to developing more opportunities for share educational, creative, and place oriented explorations. We believe in strong, resilient relationships. By forming alliances we contribute to a culture of balanced reciprocal energy exchange and mutual support through our convergence.
Current Artists in Residence:
