Are you a compassion warrior, culture worker, and rebel who cares deeply about humanity; who's tired of doing all the “right things” and still getting what you’re trying to avoid; and who feels trapped between burning it all down or dying but would rather be wildly, and sacredly alive? I'm an animist and ancestral wisdom guide; ceremonialist, and empath. And I love guiding other humans who want to use their burnout and purpose anxiety as a jumping-off point to journey into their shadows and the shadows of modern society in order to de-armor their hearts; remember a deeper, wilder sense of belonging to the world; and reclaim the rich and sacred spark of their aliveness. This newsletter contains wisdom nuggets, podcast episodes, and invitations to paid and free offerings from my business. All in support of remembering a more animist and land-based culture; holding firm to our humanity in a dehumanizing world; and living with compassion, vulnerability, and reverence.

Hello, dear ones - Just a quick note that today is the last day to register for the Summer Solstice ceremony, held at Arterra Wines in Delaplane, VA this Friday, June 19. We'll begin promptly at 6:30pm. It's an intimate group so far, which feels right. I'm starting to feel the energy building a bit as we near. It feels to me like a dropping in and homecoming all at the same time. A remembering how to connect with our own roots. A sacred pause before the busyness of harvest and the waning of...
Hello, dear ones - Like "community" or "nervous system regulation," the word "ceremony" is a big buzz word in the wellness and spiritual spaces right now. There are cacao and other plant medicine ceremonies and moon gatherings. Every retreat seems to promise "ceremony" as being part of it. And what about weddings? Aren't they ceremonies, too? (Even though I've experienced some that sure didn't feel like a meaningful or spiritual experience...) As someone who is stepping into offering...
Hello, dear ones - Summer is ripening in my corner of the world right now, though it's been a strange one. Some days, unseasonably cool. Others, unseasonably hot. Drought, then a week of steady rain.
