I remember pouring over the pages of National Geographic Magazine as a child. This iconic magazine ignited my wanderlust. Distant lands and peoples intrigued me. During my teenage years I began using magazines to collage and envision a future filled with wonder! A big, beautiful world was calling me to go experience it, and so I did. I studied abroad in Europe, taught abroad in Asia and travelled extensively throughout my 20's, 30's and 40's. I followed my bliss by studying Intercultural Communication, World Religions, Goddess Mythology, Western & Eastern Astrology, Yoga, Ayurveda, Tarot, the Esoteric Enneagram, Nature Therapy, Contemplative Practices and Soul Shadow Work, because often the most difficult voyage is the one within...
12th-century Zen master, Hongzhi Zhenjgue instructed his students to “wander into the center of the circle of wonder.” Our soul's purpose can be found by exploring the nature of wonder. The poet, Cole Arthur Riley describes how wonder increases our capacity to love ourselves, our neighbor, and the stranger.
WANDERLUST MEETS SACRED ART
My travels, spiritual wanderlust and awe of nature's beauty have inspired me to create sacred art experiences that foster connection to self and the collective consciousness in ceremonial circles of wonder. I weave wisdom traditions from different cultures and the earth-based practices of my ancestry to provide a safe place for soulful reflection. My events are interactive experiences where we co-create the mandala together. I also offer opportunities to engage in intuitive collage, and experience the wonderful gifts of my fellow collaborators.
The practice of UBUNTU
I am a firm believer in the ancient African concept of, ubuntu, 'I am what I am because of who we all are'. I joyfully welcome creative collaborations and seek to amplify the work of others. I look forward to seeing you at one of my upcoming events.
My first sacred travel experience was a life-altering safari in the Maasai Mara Natural Preserve of Kenya 20+ years ago. The majesty of wild animals roaming freely on untouched land awoke the wildness of my own soul. I longed for more encounters with wild spaces and began to take transformational journeys stateside and abroad, connecting with nature as a portal to my own untamed spirit.
Travelling became a deeply spiritual practice for me; a tangible way to expand my perspective by visiting more than 25 countries and counting! My vacations turned into pilgrimages that led me on a camel caravan in Rajasthan India, a 125 mile walking journey along the divine feminine route of the Camino de Santiago in France. I then was called to study the earth-based practices of my Celtic and Norse lineages in Ireland and Iceland and visit my ancestral lands.
It is my desire to inspire others to journey within and venture out of their comfort zone to experience the wonder of our complex and beautiful world.
A pilgrimage is simply a long journey to a sacred place. The ultimate destination lies within YOU, no matter where you wander.
Mandalas are artistic portals to the inner world of the subconscious where many of our stories lie unexplored. I create a variety of life-size mandalas, spirals, wheels and sacred altars that serve as spiritual guidance tools. Weaving ancient wisdom for modern living provides insight and direction for the soul.
I utilize a number of esoteric and divination traditions including the Eastern Enneagram Mandala that embodies the energetic wisdom of the chakras, Chinese Astrology, Western Astrology & Classical Tarot, Celtic & Norse ancestral nature rituals and Rune Work. My East meets West approach helps to guide you on a holistic journey of the psyche, discerning areas for growth, integration and evolution.
Explore your inner landscape and awaken the soul by booking virtual Reading or personal Mandala Ritual.
In Joseph Campbell's book, The Hero's Journey, he describes the final stage of the voyage as a time when the hero or heroine returns home with an elixir for the collective. Our healing is never just about us. As I approach 50 and begin my Chiron Return, my work in the world is to impart some of the wisdom I have learned on the long road back to myself. My journey has been full of mountain top experiences and desert wanderings. Each has been a guide and a teacher.
I am excited to share this wisdom thru my Rewilding the Soul Ceremonies. These sacred circles are are curated to empower you to liberate your divine feminine energy as you embark on your journey of self-realization.
