Offerings

I believe there is a need in the world for poetic medicine circles that support individual resilience and community connection and are catalysts for exploration, heart integration, and transformation. It is meaningful to me to assist people to expand their mystical awareness and poetic voice, even as together we practice and integrate the skills of empathy, presence, trust, listening, gratitude, compassion, self-compassion, and generative action, all of which will benefit our depleted world.
