humble human learning how to be with/in all this immense complexity

weaver of gatherings, curious about conjuring of life force, resting into magic, shared dignity, the interwoven and collaborative reality of generative Life.

how we warm our hearts. how we become gentle in perception. how we make nuanced ways of unfolding fear.

What wants to emerge? How do we support the groundswell? participants in Life.

I am interested in the wild myriad of ways we can creatively shift harmful cultural perceptions and practices as they are alive within us and among us. I believe that life is a magical and surprising unfolding, full of beauty, mystery, and uncertainty, and, it is also clear that much of our human culture has gotten seriously mired in domination methodologies that substantially harm our psyches, our relationships, and our beloved planet.

In my various work endeavors, I help folks identify, resist, and rebel against the forms of oppression that have pressured them to shrink, hide, contract, brace, flee, fawn, pose, mask, self-harm, rage without focus, collapse, and (or) dissociate.

I help people connect with wisdom, sensing their inherent belonging in Life and their creative supple embodied dignity and vitality. Life force in flow.

I am interested in collective processes that weave us together in playful and radically transformative configurations and happenings. I want to change the ways we do things when we gather to learn, when we gather to heal, so that we do not feel isolated, humiliated, shamed, frightened.

As a somatic & creative arts psychotherapist and teacher of therapists, I have been collaboratively exploring creative processes for transformative learning for the past 26.5 years. As an artist, writer, photographer, dancer, poem carrier, vocalist, song catcher, and embodied storyteller, I am grateful for the many ways that creative process connects me and us all to the hum of the murmuring deep. Passionate about the arts and embodiment praxis as potent currents to unravel forces of domination, shapeshifting culture in humble but meaningful ways towards regenerative social permaculture. I am.

Especially interested in centering neurodivergence, decolonizing, Indigenizing, Queerness, Dis/Ability, POC, Black and Indigenous folks and Wisdom lineages in Methods, Teachings, and Voices, those of us who walk in margins in various dimensions and thereby learn so many important things about changing culture. Biodiversity is health for us all.

Resonant clear meaningful creative articulate kind supple soft responsive dynamic playful comforting connecting relations, and places, who help us feel that we are whole and loved and valued. We can nourish and focus the simple unique beauty magic that is growing through us and offer this nectar through worlds of interactions and happenings . You. Me. Us. All My Relations.
