My Prayer and passion

It is my strong belief that we have the ability to heal our shared ancestral psychological-emotional-cultural traumas, and the dysfunctional and oppressive systems they have created and maintained, through healing ourselves as individuals and in community. As we heal the pain within ourselves, we become equipped to come together and heal our pains of relationship by communing with one another in mutuality and respect. As we do this with other humans and the Earth herself, we embody the principle Right Relationship. This empowers us to create sustainable healing communities, and a culture founded on the sacredness of all life, and empowering sovereign divinity of all beings.

As a Medicine Woman, I am committed to being a part of the spiritual evolution of humanity and the cultural revolution of the Earth. My medicine—whether shared in sessions, services, my musical medicine, poetry, teaching, group facilitation, or writing—is here to help us to face the truth of our personal and collective shadows, and to resurrect the golden shadow of our long suppressed and forgotten Truth as Source Consciousness. I engage in sacred activism through my social artistry and play my part in helping humanity heal from the traumas we have been repeating for thousands of years. I do so with the full Joy and Love of my Spirit.

It is with eternal optimism that I continually dive into myself and the collective field in order to heal my own personal, ancestral, and cultural traumas, and to help others to do the same. For it is only together that we rise, or not at all. We can heal the world together if we answer the call!

Let us co-create a culture of Peace, Love, Unity, Respect, Responsibility, Right Relationship, and Balance for all!
