Bio
I have been walking alongside the spirits of my ancestors and the spirits of the land since the mid 1990’s when an experience with ancient earth-based practices resonated as a home place for me. Following the Celtic wheel of the year grounds me in my relationship to the cycles of nature and wisdom ways of the more than human. I am a queer aging woman with a passion for the earth and all her beings. Among the things I hold dear are organic food, farmers and farming, body centred healing arts, community co-creation, ritual and ceremony, music and the written word. In striving to reduce my impact on the earth, I have reduced my material possessions to what will fit in my tiny home on wheels in which I live, write poetry and make textile art beside a meadow on the Southern part of Salt Spring Island, unceded ancestral territory of the Hul’q’umi’num and SENĆOŦEN speaking people, of the Quw’utsun First Nation.
I have lived all over the country called Canada in my fifty six years here. I am particularly grateful for the years I spent in the North where I was privileged to witness the courage of the indigenous community in mounting some of the first land claims in Canada. Since then my decolonizing process has led me down many paths of connection and healing through sweat lodges, healing circles and medicine wheel ceremonies. Among my teachers and influencers are Starhawk, Joanna Macy, Aline LaFlamme, and Robin Wall Kimmerer. I am grateful beyond words for all the friendships and communities that have been part of my life.
