curious

in process

---

i look, sense & gather

through the lenses embodied social arts, energy healing traditions, expressive & contemplative frameworks & practices, ritual wayfinding, intuitive & spontaneous art forms, divination tools, and ecosystem thinking, feeling and presencing. I take time for solitude. i wander. 

i practice

as an everyday human in the midst of my very ordinary life. I have found myself on thresholds of deep change, loss and uncertainty for which there were no outer guides. this has spurred me towards a deeper compassion for my / our inevitable encounters with the unknowns and in-betweens. It has also taught me the wisdom of and power of transmission, lineage, the wild truths of our inner landscapes, and safe ways we might practice together, while walking our own unique paths of healing, creating, and being of service to the world.

i offer 

from practices I deeply engage with and the places in me where I experience and find my own inner resourcing, resilience and healing met. You are your own best teacher and all that I offer eminates from this foundational truth. joy, awe, and the sacredness of our everyday lives through my practices and presence alongside nature, ritual, wandering and creating. We are each worthy, and wholly equipped for this connection. I am devoted to the view that in crisis there is creative possibility, and in the inevitable changes that arise as we navigate our human lives there is a sanity and wholeness within and around us that is quietly, patiently, calling us home. Creativity, nature, self-expression, movement, play, all support me in remembering.

​The same questions have surfaced over and over again throughout my life, how and where do I find belonging? What is it that makes me human, what is the art of being human (especially when I am afraid, disconnected or in traumatic stress)? How am I a part of all that is around me? and most of all Where do I bridge these gifts into service? It has led me to recieve many teachings and personal lessons on the path of spiritual and creative unfolding.

i recieve

from nature first and foremost, and from a great stream of human consciousness explorers, householder mystics, environmental wisdom holders and deep ecologists, artists, activists and trauma survivors, my ancestral well, and the many known and yet known to me lineages of wisdom traditions and teachers. I am grateful for all the teachings I've been gifted so far in this lifetime. The good, the bad, the harmful ones where I have learned to take some and leave the rest. The guides and friends who have come from all walks of life, from all kinships around me, from inside. The lessons from my gifts, my misunderstandings, my callings, my hurt, being in and with nature, things beyond my control, doulaships with birth, illness, caregiving and death. I am grateful to offer from the flow of life that has carried me this far. I am always learning, practicing and (mostly!) remembering to keep opening, one tiny move at a time. I am wholly human.​

​It may be that when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work and when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.
​- Wendell Berry

what next? what now?

This website is an art project.
an evolving space for me to share my work, offerings and projects. Come back soon or send me a note, letter or other thoughts via my contact form or PO Box 1663 Tonasket, WA. I love snail mail! ​Or let me send something to you or the 'verse via my postcard blessings project.

Welcome to you. I am emerging from a long hibernation, have you been there before too? I am bridging my gifts into the larger world at a time when I believe all of our voices are needed to sing into the truths of inner liberation,interconnectedness 
and aliveness for this world we live in. I like to make art. I write poetry. Sometimes I offer my work for sale, show or do comissions. I like to listen. Being present with things is where the gold is. I write it all down. Sometimes it gets published. I live rurally and love rivers and being outside with nature. I make skits and music and performances for nobody in particular. I aspire towards a comedic life of soft landings. I educate from my spot here, to your spot there through various mediums and forms. The thread between us creates more resonance for changes we want to see out there. I've been on longish hiatus, I'm creating this as I go. See up top to send me note!

Note to reader, this will all change. Thank you for reading this far!
