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.

Dear ones - Apologies for the radio silence of the last month: no emails, no new podcasts. While we’re taught that consistency is what we need to aim for, we’re human. Imperfect. Seasonal. I find myself curious as to what trustworthy is, what relationship is, if not consistency. I have a suspicion it’s good faith and honest presence. And so in this life season of wandering and wondering, where a lot of my energy frequently needs to be diverted towards handling life logistics and being in...
Dear ones - Happy Spring Equinox! A day of balance between light and dark. A time of planting seeds. Winter may still make an appearance from time to time until the cross quarter day of Beltane (or May Day), but the tide has shifted and Spring is here. The sun is getting stronger. Early flowers are blooming and trees are starting to bud and blossom. A few weeks ago, a Scottish woman quoted to me: “Oak before Ash, you’re in for a splash. Ash before Oak, you’re in for a soak!” An old folk rhyme...
