AiAiA is the name of an island of magic and medicine in Homer’s Odyssey.

i came to know the island more intimately in Madeline Miller’s book, Circe. Circe is the name of the demi-goddess-witch that is banished to and then enthralled in deep relationship with the island of AiAiA.

in the book, the island is visited by many.

gods and goddesses, nymphs, spirit animals, powerful plant allies and humans alike. the island is rich in aliveness, rich in pain and beauty, rich in experiences that are seeped in the magic of transformation.

Circe’s heroine journey is about choosing between the weight and power of immortality and become fully human - immortal, flawed and deeply feeling. this choosing to be immersed in humanity and all its complexity, is what struck me most in the story. i believe this is a choice we each have to wrestle with, a birth rite we must claim responsibility for if we want to live up to the gift of being in a body.

your humanity and choosing responsibility are honored here at AiAiA. we welcome you deepening your connection to your body to place and to people through relationship. that is where the healing is.

the healing space that is now named for the island is for all of us - all parts. the divine, the animal, the vegetal, the adult, the child, the ancestors, the tricksters, the gifted parts, the broken parts, and especially the utterly human parts.

it’s also a collective of healing gifts, each one pouring vitality and connection into the next. on the practitioner side, we each hold total sovereignty in the ways we practice and the ways we run our practices. and yet, the sum of our work under one roof, housed on one island, is what allows for the mystery of healing and the gifts of deeper connections to unfold continually.
