From Catholic roots to mysticism and animism, a diverse community raises my awareness and encourages endless curiosity. Gratitude for the many hearts, minds, and helping hands comes easy. To the wild earth, I offer my most primal gratitude. Crunchy pine needles, crawling ants, scolding birds, and coiled snakes freely push my growth edges and tug heartstrings.
Naropa University
The contemplative and compassionate education I received at Naropa is invaluable and continually unfolding. I am forever grateful especially to the midwives of the Ecopsychology program and torchbearers into the deepest recesses of our shadows.

School of Lost Borders
Founded by Steven Foster and Meredith Little, Lost Borders has been guiding and teaching Wilderness Rites of Passage for 35 years. The pan-cultural model at the center of ceremony in this lineage resonates deeply with me. Training with the School is an ongoing journey and privilege. My gratitude is endless for the guides who went before and built the road as they traveled. Because of their courage and perseverance, the transformational experience of questing in the wild is accessible to us who strive to live as self-initiated adults.

Sharon Blackie
After graduating at Naropa, I yearned to continue studying Ecopsychology application. Since 2013, Sharon Blackie's teachings have significantly rooted theory into my real life. If you are seeking a vibrant blend of ecopsychology, mythology, and depth psychology I highly recommend knocking on her door. I am deeply grateful to her for helping me learn the more about the stories of part of my lineage.
