Things I know …

I come from primordial oceans and the commons of the micro-bacterial cosmos. My immediate family is part-human, part-serpent, part-canine, part-crow. A grandmother oak helps grow my spine and models my seasonal giveaway. Dawn-song birds awaken me to community, and nightly orb weavers teach how the body brings home. I engage long conversations with ravens (and envy their love affairs). I howl with my dogs—and sometimes the canyon’s coyotes. I am a pollinator of dragonfruit and a disperser of seeds. I dream mycelial dreams.

Deep ecologists speak of an ecological self, attempting to express the experience of a self that extends beyond the ego to include more and more of the phenomenal world. For me, self emerges from continued encounter: I belong to something that is so much bigger than my seemingly bounded being. I know—because I live it—that to be human is to be more-than-human.

It is this sense of connection that I strive to bring to all my offerings. I’d love to help you find your own embeddedness and belonging to yourself, your community, and this beautiful wild Earth. I invite YOU into delicious entanglement.
