APPRENTICED BY LIFE 

My background is in history, English, and religion, and I’ve spent nearly two decades homeschooling my four children while apprenticing myself to the forest and the rhythms of the living world.

I carry over 20 years of practice in folk herbalism, more recently deepened through a four years of friendship/mentorship with two Anam Cara friends, an experience that helped shape my understanding of sacred companionship, spiritual ecology, deep listening, and the transformative power of being witnessed within the unfolding of one’s own becoming. These relationships profoundly influenced the way I hold story, healing, creativity, and the slow work of remembering what is essential.

I’ve edited books, written poetry, co-created courses, co-hosted writing retreats, and gathered women around firelight and story, but the deepest shaping of my life has come through relationship to the land, to motherhood, and to the women who weave in this collective.

They have expanded my understanding of friendship into something sacred: a practice of mutual witnessing, creative devotion, honesty, and becoming. Through one another’s grief, beauty, work, and unfolding, we discovered the kind of belonging that asks us to arrive fully as ourselves.

This collective emerged from a desire to create a space capable of holding that kind of brilliance— a living ecosystem where story, creativity, healing, and soul-work could root deeply enough to transform us.

I am someone always returning: back to the body, back to the myth, back to the living thread that reminds us who we are.

My path has also included sacred naturalism, astrology, ancestral healing, trauma-informed mentorship, faith deconstruction, meditation, an Artist’s Way cohort, and somatic exploration— including work in a trauma cohort, studies in plant-based healing, and sacred listening practices that help weave coherence through the nervous system and the mythic field.
