About Me
From this place of deep connection, I fiercely embody the forces of divine feminine awakening, here to collaboratively bring forward the guiding wisdom of Ocean and Earth for the restoration of human and planetary well-being.
I am a luminary, a light. I do not find the path; I merely light the space for others to better find their own way back to nature, into deeper connection with self.
Call people into closer connection with nature, earth, and oceans.
Unify the viewer with their higher nature to relate through feeling rather than thinking.
Inspire authentic emotional connection to spark immediate action.
My Journey
My present writing life and personal practice explore the evolution of conscious awareness among natural and quantum systems.
I create a mix of poetry, narrative, and acoustic spoken word that peel back the layers of deep connection underlying “growth hyperintelligence,” the field of ancient and dynamic interspecies synergy that has balanced the Earth’s evolutionary health since pre-technology, pre-human times. I believe that a reverent and rooted return to primordial Earth intelligence will seed and nurture the visionary innovations needed to overcome the crises of our time.
Most recently, I explore the ancient wisdom and connective forces of language, family and emotion among whales and dolphins in the documentary feature film OCEAN SOULS, winner of sixteen international film festival awards (released Dec 2021), and my spoken word poetry is featured in the sonic immersion live show SOUNDS OF THE OCEAN, which has been raising funds and awareness for ocean conservation while responsibly touring through Central America, Europe, the Middle East and California.
The call towards sonic, energetic, and heart-based resonance and learning have been fueled by my life-long immersion in yoga, meditation and indigenous wisdom practices.
With over 20 years of training and teaching history, I have traveled worldwide in my exploration of energetic connection / communication between human, animal, plant and mycelial realms, through the ancient lenses of Hawaiian Shamanism, Buddhist meditation, and traditional pranayama – all contrasted and complemented by research in contemporary depth psychology, and the quests of 20th century psychonauts Aldous Huxley and Terrence McKenna to current interspecies communication research from Paul Stamets and Suzanne Simard.
My unique ability to interpret on behalf of plants and animals has been trained as an energetic sensitivity to movement and physical presence through a lifetime of yoga, wildlife tracking, terrestrial and aquatic field research, and hands-on treatment/rearing of injured and orphaned animals, specializing in birds of prey. These skills build upon my inborn empathic energetic receptivity to wild things…my capacity for energetic resonance give me a defined ability to know and feel what their bodies know and feel, making me an exceptional voice for wild causes.
I have fins-on experience underwater with cetaceans – freediving, scuba diving and researching since 2000, and a year of terrestrial wildlife field research across six African biomes. My history as a research diver, expedition leader, educator, conservation grant writer, program manager and film writer for nonprofits and government agencies based in Africa, Europe and the US, has focused on ecological carrying capacity in Southern Africa, cetaceans and reef recovery in the Indian Ocean, fisheries and watershed education in the Pacific, and wildlife rehabilitation on the California coast.
I am guided by an innate curiosity to explore the underlying connections among all things, and I love going DEEP, in all realms
My work contributes to restoring collaborative balance to our world by honoring and growing the sacred power of ancient wisdom and the divine feminine in each of us, in alignment with the needs and nourishing forces of our Mother Earth.
