​

My most influential teachers have been deeply connected to the Other World; they have taught me how to navigate and to listen to the voices of the unseen. These teachers include Elder Malidoma Somé, Eliot Cowan, Deanna Jenné, Leslie Grasa, and

the plants and elementals themselves.

(More about this here.)

​

I hold a Master of Divinity in Buddhist Studies from Naropa University, as well as a certificate in Grief and Death Studies from the Center for Loss and Life Transitions. I co-create community ritual with the Community Grief and Gratitude Project.

​​

I have held Dagara-style community grief rituals since 2015, with the blessing of Dr. Malidoma Somé.  I also offer one-on-one healing sessions,  as well as energetic land tending and remediation, in person or at a distance. 

​

As a white person in the USA, I recognize and fully acknowledge the advantages I have received solely due to the color of my skin. This unearned privilege comes with a significant level of responsibility, and given this reality, offering African-style ritual is not something I take lightly. I acknowledge the profound legacies of oppression that have created the pain, trauma, and injustices that so many marginalized people have endured for centuries on this continent and beyond. As a queer Jew, I honor the struggles of my ancestors and my LGBTQ+ community and I stand in solidarity beside all who suffer. I respect the living and ancestral lifeways of the Arapahoe, Cheyenne, and Ute peoples, and the 48 contemporary tribal nations who are historically tied to the state of Colorado.
