Alchemy is the process by which the base, dense, and raw materials of spirits, psyches, and bodies are transmuted such that their deep, holy purpose radiates outward from within. My offerings are cauldrons through which interior landscapes are transformed in service of exterior liberation.

The material world is imbued with divinity and material things are animated by a sacred force. They are gateways to the holy. I practice reverence and reciprocity with the enchanted and enchanting world that is our home, to honor and enjoy it. This includes experiencing grief and anger over modernity’s destruction, while also cultivating resilient love for reality’s fervent depths. Apocalyptic conditions are revelatory invitations towards new ways of being, and spirituality help us see into these nascent possibilities. My work invites us to live into new, emerging realities.

I value authenticity and integrity, which means I offer what I’ve most needed to receive. My offerings are thus informed by years of study; they are heartfelt reflections of my imperfect attempts at finding meaning and healing. I only offer what I’ve been thoroughly trained in.

I don’t expect others to agree with every facet of my approach because it’s heavily informed by my unique journey. Rather than force clients to fit into predetermined expectations, I help them embody their authentic selves.

Surviving polarizing times requires the dexterity to hold “opposing” truths at once. Spiritual practices help us cultivate such inner and outer flexibility by trusting that something vaster than our dualistic imagination is possible. My offerings guide people in adopting nuanced, non-dual understandings of self, other, reality, and divinity.

Devotion is the act of honoring that which we trust is sacred. To live in these times requires that we push back against false idols, including the fake gods of capitalism, nationalism, and more. In this era, we are being asked to redefine (or, rather, remember) what is truly sacred. By guiding clients to touch the profound mystery we all belong to, my offerings seek to support this endeavor.

I devote myself to the mystery from which all things emerge and to which all things return. There is nothing more gratifying to me than this. While I often call this mystery “God” it is ultimately beyond names or categorization. I know the divine is thoroughly tangible by virtue of our embodied experience and wholly unknowable by virtue of its vastness. I know in the deepest parts of myself that there is no realm beyond the holy’s reach, no being too unlovable to be blessed, no wound too deep to be soothed, no wrong too great to be tended in partnership with divinity. Thanks be to God for this liberation.

In the words of adrienne maree brown, "emergence is the way complex systems and patterns arise out of a multiplicity of relatively simple interactions. it emphasizes critical connections, authentic relationships, listening with the body and the mind. in emergence, the whole is a mirror of the parts. fractal - the health of the cell is the health of the species and the planet.” In understanding that we are interdependent – that we “inter-are” – and that private emergence is inextricably linked to that of the whole, I divest from the cult of independence and invest in interdependent flourishing.

I value the rights of individuals and communities to live lives of joy, wellbeing, fulfillment, and security, free from state-sanctioned violence + oppression. I aspire to help create a world in which these things are accessible without assigning any being as disposable, superior, or inferior. I choose to support systems that honor the inherent dignity and divinity of all beings, ones that prioritize our safety, wellness, joy, and fulfillment. I work diligently to free myself from the internal prisons I inherited through wounded lineages, because liberation is an inner pursuit as much as it is an outer one. I pray my offerings honor the inherent belovedness of all beings and support this vision of collective liberation.

I celebrate the fact that we are limited, finite beings by virtue of our embodied existence. Our capacity is not finite: eventually, we require rest, and ultimately, we die. No one can escape these truths. I believe that in honoring these limits, we learn to touch the sacred infinite nested within us. In the same way that there is an endless number of decimals between 0 and 1 (such as 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, etc.), so too does the infinite hide/reside within finite boundaries. Honoring our limited experience opens us to the limitless essence of reality.

As taught in Meditations on the Tarot, I understand magic as the art of using the subtle to influence the dense. When we intentionally collaborate with the imperceptible, we practice magic. This framework helps me understand most things as magical processes, including spiritual care. While we may not always “see” the heartbeat of existence, possibilities unfold as if “by magic” when we trust the holy is real. I create magic by working with the subtle elements of reality, to invoke sacred transformation in our dense, embodied experiences.

I honor mystery and the potent power inherent to unknowing. In a world that values knowledge and rationality above most things, I work to become a better devotee of the unknown. Given that deep truth reveals itself in its own time (rather than on our schedule) and that wisdom makes room for uncertainty, relearning the etiquette of knowledge will help us find delight in mystery’s surprises.

I am a mystic, which means I know the divine is readily accessible to anyone without mediation or middlemen. This embodied awareness of divinity is supported through the regular practice of contemplation, ritual, devotion, and conscious relationality. I aspire to support myself and others in developing authentic, unmediated relationships with divinity, as a reclamation of our spiritual sovereignty.

In valuing interdependence, I also value the cultivation of personal sovereignty and differentiation. Our ability to be in healthy, transformative relationships is directly proportional to our rejection of false masters, in our ability to know where we “end” and others “begin.” This requires us to have a clear sense of self, that we become able guardians of our inner domain, that we establish and maintain the parameters that support our health and flourishing, and that we remain committed to our deep wellness even when this upsets those who wish to control us.

In opposition to the capitalist mindset that argues “busy is good” and that incessant productivity is the marker of worthiness, I value spaciousness, rest, and fallow seasons. I aspire to lead an exceedingly spacious existence, and I pray my offerings counter scarcity narratives. May my work be an outgrowth of a beautifully spacious process.

Just as a human body necessitates both skeleton and muscle to function, I seek to balance solidity with flexibility, flow with structure. In a spiritual sense, I wish to nourish myself with consistent practice while allowing unexpected movements of spirit to change me in surprising ways. I pray my offerings remain supported by stable foundations that are also open to change.
