​​honoring
the dreaming otter’s dream is powerful and beautiful. in it, we respond with lovingkindness, curiosity, and gentleness in our times.
as the guardian of the dreaming otter, I honor you regardless of age, ancestry, color, disability, economic background, ethnicity, gender identity, national origin, political affiliation, pregnancy status, race, religious beliefs, reproductive choices, sexual orientation, or weight, and I recognize the complexity that can arise in each of these ways of being.
we honor working directly with spirit here, and are united by a shared love of revelatory experience with the mystery. through working with our helping spirits in trance states, communing with nature, performing ceremonies we create with our guides, engaging stillness through retreat and contemplation, and circling together with lovingkindness, we learn and grow. we respectfully practice universal pathways of direct revelation here, and our helping spirits teach us directly as they have done for humans since the dawn of time.
our strong vision includes wellness for the living earth, her systems, and all of her inhabitants, whether they walk on two legs or four, swim or crawl or fly, or exist as nature, elemental, or multidimensional beings. if you wish to receive them, I send you blessings of peace, and grace.
may we be kind stewards of the earth, and of each other.
​service
service is one of my core values. below, a handful of wonderful folks I appreciate who are teaching, leading, and healing, and also nonprofits up to amazing and needed service. thanks to those who help and show up, and everyone who contributes kindness, poise, and grace in our complicated times.
small acts of radiant kindness change the world, and we celebrate them large and small here.
