Your Voice Is Meant To Be Here
About
The Cashavelly Collective (The CC) fosters nurturing spaces and resources for women to free their unhindered voices and expression; delve into their inner mysteries to explore their strangest ideas; and share them in a loving community. Our gatherings help systemically change patriarchal conditioning, shed restrictive roles and limiting beliefs, heal sisterhood wounding, and build a supportive community where women are uplifted and celebrated. We believe that a woman’s truth and freeing her voice and heart’s longing will collectively correct the many imbalances humanity now faces.
Songbird Supper Club is currently paused. Future events to be announced.
About Songbird Supper Club
The CC presents Songbird Supper Club, a cozy performance series where we celebrate women who create and express, or want to start! At each event, 3 to 4 featured artists share their work and are interviewed by Cashavelly. The discussion is rooted in building trust and collectively healing patriarchal-conditioning that has led to sisterhood wounds, perfectionism, masking, and outmoded belief systems. At Songbird, we shed all the pressures we've taken on so we can be our vulnerable, authentic selves and experiment with our expression in a safe, loving space of friendship and support. We've got nothing to prove here. We can be messy. It might be your first time performing or sharing your vision - we are here to cheer you on, encourage you, and see you shine. Or, you might be a seasoned professional who wants deeper connections in our community or to try something new. QTBIPOC+ women are especially encouraged to participate. All are welcome. Bring your partners, kids, and friends and enjoy supper from our featured food vendor! If you’d like to be considered as a featured artist, please sign up above.

About Soulbirthing
Soulbirthing is a gathering of women to connect and offer resources to help free ourselves from the blocks that prevent us from living in our truth and authentic connection. We believe that all we imagine is meant to be birthed into the world. In Soulbirthing, we explore tools and strategies to follow our inner knowing; we share our stories in a safe group where we are seen and supported; and we experiment with the various parts of ourselves that we gradually integrate to experience a sense of wholeness and fulfillment.
Monthly Gatherings
In a FREE once-a-month meeting throughout the year, participants are guided through 13 different archetypes, or facets, of a woman’s inner life, informed by an ancient Celtic feminine wheel that some of our ancestors once lived by. This is a springboard to get curious about and deepen our understanding of all we may have had to hide and put away out of survival. We need a safe place where we are supported in differentiating what is truly authentic and joyful to us from what is conditioned expectation. We may have taken on behavioral patterns and limiting beliefs to appease others or meet standards that we can now shed with the help of a loving community. This guided introspection allows for deep healing of the past and a way to give ourselves now what we couldn’t be given then. Since 2022, this gathering has catalyzed women into overcoming fears to create their dream of life. There is also an online written and audio guide for purchase that complements these meetings. It includes numerous holistic resources, self-exploration through the archetypes, and examples of women throughout myth and history who have carved out their unique paths against all odds.
Retreats
In addition, each year our community has the opportunity to meet in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains near Hot Springs, North Carolina. Women gather on 14 acres of land, setting up tents and sitting around the fire - to laugh, share stories, learn resources, and follow the signs of the land. We take time to rest, go inward, get playful, and explore what we are compelled to follow. Everyone is invited to carve wood, try friction fire, weave, or make symbolic power pieces to wear. This time in the woods allows us to feel into our primal selves and our inherent sisterhood, free from any male-dominated spaces. We share meals and create a group-designed ritual. Our next retreat is TBA due to hurricane recovery in WNC.
International Pilgrimage
We also take an international pilgrimage each year to a meaningful place we are being led to. Our first pilgrimage was to the Caves of Mary Magdalene in Southern France, and our second was to the Black Madonna in Switzerland. We felt we were intuitively drawn to each place to free ourselves from the constrictive, dichotomous Puritan concept of the penitent whore and virgin, and discover who these women really were.
