Are you a compassion warrior, culture worker, and rebel who cares deeply about humanity; who's tired of doing all the “right things” and still getting what you’re trying to avoid; and who feels trapped between burning it all down or dying but would rather be wildly, and sacredly alive? I'm an animist and ancestral wisdom guide; ceremonialist, and empath. And I love guiding other humans who want to use their burnout and purpose anxiety as a jumping-off point to journey into their shadows and the shadows of modern society in order to de-armor their hearts; remember a deeper, wilder sense of belonging to the world; and reclaim the rich and sacred spark of their aliveness. This newsletter contains wisdom nuggets, podcast episodes, and invitations to paid and free offerings from my business. All in support of remembering a more animist and land-based culture; holding firm to our humanity in a dehumanizing world; and living with compassion, vulnerability, and reverence.

Hello, dears - I wanted to hop on here and remind you that we're at *last call* for both our Winter Solstice online round house tomorrow and the in-person ceremony in Winchester, VA on Sunday. Registration for both closes tomorrow morning. But along the way, I noticed how much work I'm having to do to stay centered in myself and the type of seasonal life I want to live. And I thought this was a great opportunity to pull back the curtain a bit and share a bit of my process with you. photo by...
Hello dear ones - This picture is from last November (2024) just outside of Oban, Scotland. A view from the daily walk the dogs I was caring for and I went on. A few days a ago, I sent an email beginning to make a case for restoring more beauty and meaning in our holiday celebrations. But I’m aware that “beauty” is a word that comes with a lot of baggage for many of us.

Hello, dear ones - Who else’s inbox has them feeling like a spinning piñata, sales and ads left right and center, all hoping if they hit you enough, money will start falling out of you?
