Since childhood, I have innately related to land as sacred. During childhood trauma and the later deaths of loved ones, my animistic relationship to land has consistently been at the root of my resilience and wellbeing. 

While the land has always there for me, I’ve also sensed — since childhood — that our Earth Mother is in pain and that the land here on unceded Wampanoag territory (South Shore MA) was holding grief.

So, my relationship to the earth has necessitated reciprocity — the earth heals and shows up for me, and I aspire to confront and name and divest from the oppressive roots of colonial-capitalist-patriarchy that desecrate her/us. Reciprocity also involves the ongoing journey of politicized lineage repair and ancestral healing (see teachers below).

I believe that our embodied healing and the healing of the earth are inextricably bound and unavoidably political – and this belief is at the heart of my work.

My love affair and grief tending with the land informs the deeply rooted, heart-led creation of community offerings that weave earth-based somatic practices and ritual with an eco-feminist, anti-capitalist political framework - a framework that unapologetically confronts rather than bypasses the very roots of our disembodiment & severing from our earth mother.
