the world needs your heart work
we are living through oppressive times that violently disconnect us from our hearts, purpose, creativity, each other, and the world. yet, every moment holds the potential to co-create bridges towards new possibilities. rooted in a scorpio stellium and 15+ years experience as an educator + facilitator, I believe transformation, renewal, and change are our birthright. I offer support in tuning in and developing the skills needed to bring your heart work into the world. let’s build something beautiful together.
what do you need to make your heart come alive?
transforming pollution into possibility
single-use plastics get a second chance as trashy treasures
massive amounts of plastic pollution are on earth with us forever. even when plastic waste finally breaks down, it’s in the form of microplastics. instead of burying plastic in the ground, an unsustainable attempt to hide/ignore a key issue of our time, let’s bring it into the spotlight. garbage gardens remind us of new possibilities.
if you are interested in collaborating on or commissioning a garbage garden, please reach out :)

transforming violence into community connection
facilitating alternatives to violence project workshops with teens and adults
the systems in power isolate us and disconnect from our hearts and from each other. forgetting our sacred interconnectedness, violence permeates our communities. alternatives to violence project guides us to grow healing communities across factors that typically divide us (like race, gender, age, ability, religion, etc). we can listen, learn, grow, and heal together. i remain incredibly hopeful for what’s possible when we are committed to each other, building networks of care and learning to move through conflicts in restorative and transformative ways. together, we can create beauty and connection.

transforming silence + shame into knowledge + healing
with the mentorship of ericka hart and the support of my badass classmates, i’m deep diving into sex education to heal myself and my ancestors, so i can better show up for the young people in my life. as ericka says, “we all deserve comprehensive and decolonial sex education.” the decolonial lens helps us see how gender and sex have been used to dominate and control bodies throughout time. i highly recommend this course and encourage everyone to follow @ihartericka.
