About Me
I believe in the power of community, connection, communication and cuture as the greatest remedies for the spiritual amnesia that our society is experiencing. To build a tribe, a living culture, through art, music, dance, food, land and living with the seasons, we may remember and revive the way of our ancestors, living in reciprocity, continually feeding and giving back to what made us. I have spent several years living in community, dedicating myself to healing these individualistic wounds, and inspiring radical authenticity and vulnerability.
Two years spent living and learning in the Americas awoke within me the longing to connect back with my land, and I brought the wisdom, music and medicine that I received there here to the UK, with the desire to integrate it into this land, and re-awaken the indigenous soul living within me and within every one of us. I see life as a ceremony, with each act being a form of devotion and prayer, hoping to always carry this forth and act from truth and integrity. I am here to support the thriving of community living, the central role of arts in healing and raising our children, all while following the trust in and guidance of Spirit and the Earth.
Certifications
Yoga Teacher Certification
I have a 200 hour certification in Hatha and Vinyasa from School of Yoga Institute, received in April 2023.
Reiki Masters
I began my reiki studies in March 2022 in Level 1 and completed my masters in February 2023.
My Music
I found medicine music when I began living in community in Mexico at the end of 2021. There was an immediate resonance, and I devoted myself to delving deeper and deeper into this world of exploration. It felt incredibly powerful to witness the level of harmony, deep connection and unity that appeared when we sang in unison together.
Music and sound have been the strongest medicine for me on this path, weaving into and inspiring everything I do, bringing me back home again and again, back into trust and bringing me immense healing and transformation.
I have experienced what it is to receive this in intentional settings, with strong prayer, and the depth it is possible to touch, and I hope to share this for others to receive in this way, to come into closer contact with their hearts and truth, to inspire radical change in the wider paradigm.
Sacred song has been at the core of every native tradition, it is innate to our well-being and the health of our community, and I feel passionate about bringing this back into our society.
This links profoundly to my experience of the healing of plants and Nature, and I often combine the two in ceremony together. Much of the music I share centres around deep reverence and prayer to the elements and forces of Nature that surround us, live within us, and give us life.
Reverence for the wisdom keepers
I would not be where I am today, sharing what I am, if it weren't for the profound wisdom, teachings and medicine I received in learning from ancestral traditions, specifically in the Americas.
I aim to always pay reverence to these lineages and act from utmost respect, with an awareness of my position of white colonial privilege, hoping to learn from these still-intact wisdom traditions with humility and authenticity, whilst trying my best to sit with the very real potential of appropriation. I am continuously re-checking my intention, and am always open to conversation about how to carry forth these much needed teachings which we long for in our spiritually orphaned nations, while doing our best to empower the voices of these peoples, stand for their rights, and give back in reciprocity for all that we receive.
I want to name in particular the Tz'utujil Mayan descendants of Santiago Atitlán and Chacaya, Guatemala, María Apaza and the Q'eros community of Peru, and the Huni Kuin and Yawanawa people of the Brazilian Amazon. The voices, music and messages of your traditions are rippling out into the world for the benefit of all beings, to remind us how to live in reciprocity with all life, to reconnect with ourselves and our own ancestry.
There are many hardships they continue to face, including the constant threat against their lands, from plantations, deforestation, fossil fuels, large scale agriculture, and much more. I am sharing here some links towards places you can put your money that will support them, in order to be good allies, good ancestors, and in some small way, act to remedy some of the profound and devastating impact of colonialism on the First Nations of our Earth.
