Chantelle Aitchison | Founder + Host
Mother, Spiritual Guide, and Sacred Space Holder devoted to women’s remembrance and reclamation, Chantelle walks the path of healing with bare feet on the earth and a heart wide open. Her soul’s work is rooted in tending to the unseen, reclaiming ancestral wisdom, and creating spaces where women feel deeply seen, heard, and held—in their bodies, their voices, and their becoming.
Grassroots was born not just from vision—but from lived experience.
For years, Chantelle walked her healing journey feeling alone—longing for a village, a circle, a place to land. She searched for spaces where women could gather in truth, not performance. In reverence, not rush. In sisterhood, not silence.
When she couldn’t find the community she longed for, she began to build it—slowly, soulfully, from the soil of her own becoming.
Grassroots is the answer to that longing. A call back to the inner grassroots of who we are as women. Before the world told us who to be, we were wild. We were wise. We were woven into the rhythms of the earth and the cycles of our own bodies.
This gathering is a homecoming to that truth.
A return to simplicity, to depth, and to the sacred ways of being in relationship—with ourselves, each other, and the land that holds us.Chantelle holds this container as the sacred womb of the gathering—tending to the roots, nourishing the soil, and honoring each woman’s unique unfolding. From this place, your magic can flourish. Your truth can rise. And the village you’ve been longing for… can begin.
The Lands We Gather Upon
We gather on the sacred lands of Treaty 6 Territory, a place that has long been home to the Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Métis, Dene, and Nakota Sioux Peoples.
With deep reverence, we acknowledge this land as part of Turtle Island, the ancestral home of Indigenous nations who have stewarded its beauty, wisdom, and resources for generations. As we come together in ceremony, healing, and community, we honor the original caretakers of this land and commit to walking in reciprocity, respect, and deep gratitude for the teachings and gifts it holds.
