Before we ever had words for what we were doing in the woods, we had ochre.
Red ochre: iron pulled from the earth and ground into pigment.
It's one of the oldest ritual substances known to humanity.
Found in burial sites on every continent, used by cultures separated by oceans and centuries, all arriving at the same instinct: mark the threshold with the color of blood and earth.
The Adena people knew this land.
They built here, deliberately and cosmologically, long before the Army Corps of Engineers came through and made East Fork Lake.
Their mound still stands in East Fork State Park.
They buried their dead with red ochre on the bones as a preparatory marking for what comes next.
This is the language of rebirth.
The iron that colored their ceremony is still in this ground.
Still surfacing along the creek banks. Still rust-red where the water finds it.
Breath & Bone sessions begin at the trailhead with an ochre marking, sourced from this land, applied in silence before anyone steps into the woods.
The same gesture the Adena understood: you are crossing a threshold. Your body knows it even when your mind hasn't caught up yet.
We didn't invent this. We remembered it.

Gracie and I scouted some this morning and while we didn't find the location we were looking for, we found a motherload of wild rosehips.
Perhaps when autumn arrives, we can have a wildcrafting event where we sustainably harvest wild rosehips, make some tea, and infuse some skin oil.
If that's something that would interest you.
