OFFERINGS & EVENTS

My work lives at the intersection of embodiment, creative practice, and cultural remembering. It moves between solo and collaborative projects, somatic facilitation, land-based ritual, and shared inquiry through art and conversation. The through-line is relationship — to body, to land, to lineage, and to the more-than-human world.

Whether I’m creating performance, guiding group process, or composing an image, I work in a responsive and emergent way: listening deeply, following intuitive structure, and tending to what wants to unfold.

Here are the threads I currently offer:

Artistic practice and commissioned work

I create original works in installation, film, visual art, performance, and sound, often in relationship with place. I welcome collaboration and am available for commissioned work, creative partnerships, and group projects. My practice is rooted in relational attention, embodied research, and interdisciplinary composition.

Somatic education, therapy
and expressive arts facilitation

I work with individuals and groups in somatic, creative, and therapeutic capacities — through ongoing sessions, workshop series, and invited facilitation in educational, artistic, and research settings. My approach is grounded in the Tamalpa Life/Art Process, an integrative method that bridges movement, drawing, and writing to support personal and collective transformation.

Much of my facilitation carries an ecosomatic orientation: inviting participants into deeper relationship with their inner landscape and the living world, through embodied attention and creative response.

Collaborative creative direction

I offer creative direction and project support to artists and collectives working in performance, film, and interdisciplinary forms. I help shape the arc and coherence of a work, offering structural insight, generative questions, and a reflective eye — all while honoring the integrity of each collaborator’s voice. I’m especially drawn to projects that engage ritual, land-based practice, or cultural inquiry.

Site-specific ritual facilitation

I co-create and facilitate rituals, community gatherings, and embodied rites of passage rooted in place and collective intention. This work includes grief circles, beginning- and end-of-life honoring, seasonal ceremonies, social practice, and ecstatic dance.

Each offering is shaped in dialogue with the people and the land involved, and is held with care, presence, and a commitment to the sacred work of transition and repair.

Shared reading and inquiry

I share ongoing writing through Body of Earth, a seasonal Substack — part essay, part fieldnote, part glimpses along my path — tracing what it means to live in conversation with the body and Earth. These offerings include reflections on somatics, ecology, and cultural remembering, alongside visual observations from my time with land, weather, and place. This is an embodied place of study in the oldest sense: to attend, to dwell with, to be changed by what we encounter together.

I also host a seasonal study group that invites shared inquiry through selected texts. Each cycle weaves together reading, conversation, and gentle somatic invitations — creating space for deep listening, reflection, and collective meaning-making.
