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.
The Heart of the Healer
THOTH and it's soulful members were the first to help me dive deeper into nature-based ceremonies, ecological spirituality, and animism. Thank you Oscar, the Heartland Ayllu, the Chaupinsuyu, the Sipapuvians, and to each Pachakuti Mesa carrier dedicated to aligning the human heart with the heart of pachamama.

Author, teacher, and friend Michael Roads continues to take my minuscule understanding of life to new heights. Thank you, Michael, and the "Roadswayers" for sharing unconditional love and uncovering boundless depths of spirit.

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.

Wilderness Guides Council
Thank you to these wonderful kindred spirits. How lucky to have found my place, my people and be welcomed so warmly. Thank you for the gatherings, the community, and the never ending story by the fire. If there are any new or seasoned guides looking for a community of professional wild things, this is it!
