Because the world needs us to be sensitive, spiritual badasses with dead-level bullsh*t meters. Folks, we have a problem. We need you. I'm many things. . .

The capitalist, imperialist, white supremacist patriarchy that we live in is crushing our nervous systems for the sake of productivity. That's why I'm passionate about sensitive souls finding their voices in this world. Intuitive. Scientist. Trauma-aware. Deep listener. Meditation teacher. MS in environmental studies. Naturalist. Animist and witch, among other things...

I'm living through these times with you, optimistic that as we find our center and sense of belonging we will both survive capitalism together and offer the world better solutions. We don't have time to mess around. I'm your practical witch, your brass-tacks spiritual teacher. I blend intuitive, spiritual technologies with practical knowledge and context so that you get solid, grounded solutions and clear next steps. I give fresh, centered, pertinent guidance that helps sensitive souls gather, ground, and lead. Let's do this together.

The world needs to change, and we can’t do it without you. We need you doing your most authentic self out there in the world. We need you leading with:

: the ability to tune into and reflect the subtle information in the environment. This includes all environments,including relational. We need leaders attuned to details, nuance, and complexity.

: To be connected to the idea that all people are interconnected and interdependent and equally worthy of rights.

: People over profits, trauma-informed, no spiritual-bypassing, aware of the needs of the most oppressed.

We can’t get out of this mess without new leaders who have new ways of doing things.

These times have felt dark.⁠
⁠
Other-worldly. Apocalyptic. New. ⁠
These are all words that I've heard describe the times that we're in. Whether you're in the western US and breathing the death of forests and creatures, watching governments turn against the people, or caught in the parenting double-bind of in-school school or at home school, these times are tough.⁠
⁠
The body needs comfort. And rest. ⁠
⁠
Our nervous systems are holding SO MUCH right now. So what can you find to bring you even a sliver of comfort in these times?⁠
⁠
My son has a soft blanket he has to sleep with, because it's cuddly. My infant has a lovey and a pacifier. I have my softest pajamas and my bra tucked firmly in a trash can. These things bring us the small comforts we need to survive right now. ⁠
⁠
What is yours?⁠

What kind of container holds you?

It seems counter intuitive, but when we have a container of personal or physical boundaries, it creates freedom within. It generates safety, a sense of certainty, a hug around what we're trying to hold sacred.

Containers can be physical - like an office for your work, or a beautiful wooden drawer for your treasures. Containers can also be non-phhsical, like a meditation practice to protect your state of mind, a self-care practice to honor and calm you, or a movement practice to care for your body.

Containers are sacred. They calm the nervous system.

Where are yours?

I'm building a sacred office for my practice opening again in September. See more of it in my stories.

I've been called back to the herbs. So today we're getting back to basics. Prepping to make digestive tonics and bitters, the dregs of my favorite digestive seed tea, and rest. I'm thinking of posting some basic herbal recipes and how-toy's... Are you interested? Let me know!

As I feed my son for the fourth time since we woke up, I'm thinking about nourishment. So much is changing and moving away from us during this pandemic in terms of soul nourishment - gatherings, alone time, work spaces and events. What are you able to do to nourish yourself?

I'm taking time in the quiet to breathe, connect with my guides and ancestors for wisdom, connect and meditate. Short periods of time between parenting. I'm casting runes. I'm connecting digitally with friends. I'm curling my hair and getting rid of household excess so things feel more calm. I'm eating well. Baking. Going outside and walking among the trees.

What is nourishing you right now?

I've been less active here recently because this eight week old is my current full time commitment. He is full of reminders - to be gentle, to take naps, to listen closely, to rest, to rely on others sometimes, to be amazed at nature, to be patient, to be proud of the small things.

What or who is your teacher right now?

I'm doing two deep doves right now - one into caring for a newborn and a toddler, and one into the magic and world of Northern shamanism.

My ancestral blood carries this wisdom, and it was the summer of 2018, during my spiritual ancestral healing work, that my ancestors showed me my lineage and asked that I rekindle this wisdom. "Get a set of runes," they said. So I did.

And they sat on the shelf for 6 months. Because runes are hard to learn. They're a study, and a journey.

Then, in late 2018, a student introduced me to . "You should get a rune reading from him," she said.

Hailing from Glastonbury, England, where the other half of my ancestry lived, I immediately knew his teachings were my next step. I studied runes with him, and have been working with a studying runes since then.

Now I'm on a journey to rekindle the Shamanic wisdom of that lineage and bring it forward to modern times. While I'm not exactly sure how I'll use it, a few things are certain - the earth communicates with us, and one of my callings is to teach others to listen; animism may be the key to changing hearts; this legacy must be kept alive.

So I'm diving.

Here's one of my latest homework assignments - runes coming to life on my sacred drum (while my 6 week old naps).
