“Who am I?”
Me
I am a heart-led facilitator of compassionate grounded presence who has spent the last decade cultivating a personal relationship with plant medicines, practicing mindfulness, and advocating for cultural change. My core approach revolves around a deep trust in each individuals unique ability to know…
When appropriate, I use tools sources from Somatic
An ever learning student of the animal heart and disciple of that which lies behind the sound
A student of the earth, wielder of the mind, and grateful disciple of the animal heart. A modern magician using spells of word to escape from, interact with, and create reality. Carrier of the fire of awareness. Listener and follower, gazing attentively at the horizon of spirit crying “show me, teach me, take me”. A brokenhearted warrior of the new psychedelic world. I am a maelstrom and the stillness it emerged from. A single breath blown into the howling expanse of time. Rain into the ocean, wind into the sky, rock into the ground, a flash of necessary separation lighting the way back towards a familiar unity. Accomplishments accoutrement. Storied adornments overlaying the already whole self burning behind the eyes of all humans. I am the canvas on which detail is painted, the substrate through which narrative crawls. A process, not a product. I wander lucid through the wreckage of the American dream as an unmoored and disillusioned cultural refugee. Driven by adaptive reflex to abandon sacred empty values and search instead for a medicine of the heart.
More than tools of the mind, I work
Ten years ago my Younger Self (link to letter) was busy living life as an act of hugely destructive rebellion against the traumatic banality of this modern world. At 18, an LSD experience revealed a faint glimmer of sacred fire on the distant horizon of my life. Following my own Inner Guide, I began a journey of growth and healing which would fundamentally divert me from the dark path I had been walking and bring me ever more in alignment with the path of my heart.

The YouMeWe
The YouMeWe is the third individual entity created when we gather together in groups of two or more. It is the sum collected total of You, Me, and We. To honor and acknowledge the YouMeWe is to recognize our inherent interconnectedness and consciously work to create harmony within our shared experience of one another. It is the artistic collaboration between the masterpieces-in-progress that each of us are.
