“If someone asks “What kind of love is this?” say “Let go your tiller and see.” ——— Rumi
If you already know what you want, please go here to submit an inquiry on my contact form.; If you’re unsure, please explore further.
If you are longing for the stability of peace, greater physical/emotional and mental capacity, sane loving connections of all kinds, equitable living and working spaces and opportunities, fecund, healthy bio-regions nourishing diverse species, generous creative time, more honest and aware self-expression, dynamic communal cohesiveness, and a sense of truly belonging to this life, then you might want to consider exploring the services offered here.. I know that we have reached a difficult and unknowable point in our time on Earth and that whatever lies ahead calls for our deepest capacities to be fully human.
And so I’m moved to offer myself in the ways described here by the undeniable beauty, diversity and intelligence of our Earth and know, that as expressions of this planet, those same attributes lie within all life here, within human nature, even in those of us who have become overshadowed in some way. I have witnessed countless times the real opportunity for change that exists when we come into deep relationship with the living earth and benevolent spirits. And we are part of the animal world and have an intrinsic nature that long evolved to live cooperatively within the laws of nature because we are that.
We are all a creative expression of this wondrous planet who so far is reliably generative, generous, wildly diverse in expressiveness and fully conscious. Instead of living helplessly in a poisonous industrial culture that preys relentlessly upon most inhabitants and the earth herself, we can re-align ourselves with the ways of the Earth and create in an informed, balanced way to enhance all earth species in mutual thriving. What could be more wonderful than this? It includes you too…
.In the Services section below I congregate this tending of what I offer into distinct categories, despite that they are not at all discrete: healing/medicine rites, teaching/mentoring, and ceremony/ritual; all of which focus on coming into conscious relationship with the heart of the Earth, her home the Cosmos and those dwelling therein, seen and unseen, and living this within community in service of thriving Life. I have experienced this to be a path on which we can discover the more essential natures of our humanity in a way that is ongoing and open to change.
Within these realms of experience you can find that I offer personal as well as community guidance and/or healing opportunities for:
— ways to respectfully meet and tend your Ancestors and other dead when needed and be tended by them
— tracking inherited ancestral patterns and dissolving unhealthy ones while nourishing what is vital (Time Spirits and the Ancestral Weave)
— reconnecting and working collaboratively, sanely and effectively with benevolent spirits of the Earth and Cosmos
— learning spirit assisted medicine rites on behalf of people, animals, the dead and the land
— bringing your awareness into the circle of kinship with other than humans
— tending land areas, their bright forces and inhabitants, living and dead, who have suffered loss or violence in some way through human overshadowing
— remembering our capacity for moving with the truth of human grief as well as the great ecological grief of this time
— learning good death practice
— reactivating our true nature and feeding the World Soul
— evolving a reliable animistic relationship to life with great Beauty .
Much of this is for the practical purpose of being able to be present without drama and other forms of evasion to meet the greater dynamics at play in the world which are perpetuating collective insanity and destruction in ways that counter the on-going harm .In tandem with my spirit council I offer to act as a steady, experienced guide and fellow traveler as you reignite your biological/spiritual heritage of this knowing of inspirited communal, grounded relationship with the seen and unseen; a reflective companion as you learn and practice sound inquiries and re-form new perspectives and behaviors and I also offer earth-based rituals to lovingly understand and transform the process by which our remembering has been overshadowed and the consequences; to enter conscious reconnection with the Earth and Spirit realms for a return to the orientations called for by these times and to celebrate the wonder and beauty of all of this Earth life. I engage all of these ways through the lens of the Soul as Artist.

SERVICES
HEALING/MEDICINE RITES
The most widely known form of earth/spirit tending practice is that of healing/transformation and the transmission of medicine rites. From an Earth/Spirit tending perspective, all imbalances, whether physical, emotional, mental or energetic, begin in one's spirit and earth/spirit tending addresses these imbalances at their source. And from an earth/spirit perspective, this imbalance is not solely within the individual, but mostly derives from and is an expression of the imbalance within the greater environment.
MENTORING/ILLUMINATING
People the world over have always had rituals and patterns of belief and behavior that include the unseen world of Spirit as the most vital source of their nourishment and power. These kinds of practices truly are our birthright. I help those in contemporary life learn about these kinds of perspectives, effective practices and their slowly evolving expressions through private and group mentoring, workshops, retreats, online courses, etc.
CEREMONY/RITUAL
Ceremony and ritual are deeply nurturing, powerful and loving ways to be fully human. They help us form more effective intentions, they assist us in developing discipline, focus and concentration, and they bring us into conscious community with ourselves, with each other, with the beings of the Earth and the rest of the multi-dimensional cosmos, with creative power, and with our Source and the entire spirit world. They create the way of Beauty.
