About
WREN (DEBORAH HOLLINS)
Coimeádaí Eagna
Folk Healer ~ Teacher ~ Circle Elder~
Non-Profit Leader
Wren is a Coimeádaí Eagna,a Wisdom Keeper, and Crone Elder devoted to remembering and restoring the Sacred Feminine. For more than twenty-five years, she has held circles, ceremonies, and pilgrimages into the mystery...spaces where women gather to listen, to heal, and to awaken the ancient knowing that lives within their bones.
​
Her path weaves together somatic wisdom, 5Rhythms dance, shamanic healing, and social work practice, guided always by the pulse of the Earth and the voices of the ancestors. Through ritual, song, storytelling, movement, and creative expression, Wren tends the sacred fire that lives at the heart of each woman, inviting her to remember who she truly is: powerful, connected, and whole.
As a facilitator of women’s healing and a leader within the non-profit realm, Wren bridges worlds, the sacred and the practical, the mystical and the social, honouring both the inner and outer work of transformation. Her circles are sanctuaries of truth where the personal becomes collective, and healing ripples outward into community and planet.
​
Wren is also a Reiki Master, Integrative Body Therapy practitioner, Psychedelic Guide, and published writer, drawing from many streams of ancestral and energetic medicine: shadow work, soul retrieval, and deep ancestral remembrance. She is devoted to rekindling the ways of the Old Ones...those who walked in reverence with the land...and believes that their wisdom still hums in our DNA, waiting to be reawakened.
​
Outside of ceremony, Wren is a writer, doll maker, and lover of all things wild, whose creations honour the spirits of the land and the lineage of the feminine. Her writings appear in She Rises: Goddess Feminism, Activism, and Spirituality and Celebrating Intercosmic Kinship of the Goddess, as well as in various earth-based and pagan publications.
​
Wren calls women to gather, across generations and differences, to dream, to heal, and to bring the Sacred Feminine through once more.
Together, we can explore, heal, lead, and bring Her through.
My greatest teachers have always been the women with whom I have sat in circle—those I have danced, drummed, laughed, and wept beside—each one a keeper of her own sacred story. From their wisdom, resilience, and truth, I have learned the art of presence, humility, and deep listening.
