Mythopoetic Living
Live like your life depends on it.
Begin Your SeasonEach of us carries an intimate, and completely unique, interpretive map of the world and our place within it. This is an intricately personal weave, composed of the stories we have been given — through experience and inheritance.
The waking dream we live within is held together with the mortar of the stories we echo within ourselves, and thus, consequentially, they become the living stories we believe define our lives.
Together, through deep presencing, we examine the myths and the folklore that have been the bones your dissatisfied life has been built upon. We respectfully, and compassionately give them the space for expression, catharsis, meaning, context and resolution.
We transmute the texts, and explore the rewrites that bring you into the life you want to be living. More importantly, my desire is to imbue you with the skills and confidence to navigate this terrain and embrace your life fully — with the power and agency of embodying the temporal Narrative 'I' from a place of gentle equanimity. We do this by connecting with primordial and primal powers for medicine, healing, grace, and guidance — through remembering and recontextualizing the scope of our individuated identities within the epic, infinite and eternal tapestry of life itself.
For those standing at the threshold — birth, death, initiation, separation, or any great turning. These moments ask for ceremonial container and skilled witnessing.
For those ready to reclaim agency, voice, and sovereign power — to stop living the inherited story and begin authoring a more alive one.
For those learning to walk with their guides, ancestors, and allies — to develop spiritual fluency and a living relationship with the unseen world.
This Arc is a 12-session progression, typically held within a single season — though it can be expanded into 6, 9, 12, 18, or 24 month commitments.
It is built as a continuity container — meaning we don't do the deep ceremonial opening without the steady thread of integration running alongside it. Because once this work begins, it illuminates inner shadows. Not to punish, but to be loved, metabolized, and repatterned.
This is intensive, layered work. It is for those deeply committed to self-actualization, spiritual sovereignty, and the kind of healing that changes the shape of a life.
3 hours each — deep inner work and ceremonial opening. Full ceremonial containers for expanded states, ancestral contact, and deep somatic release.
2 hours each — integration, nervous system tending, life-application, and repatterning. Weaves ceremonial insights into daily life.
Recommended pacing: every other week — enough space to integrate, close enough the thread stays warm.
Available as Solo Acolyte Intensives (3, 6, 9, 12, 18, or 24 month commitments) and themed Group Trajectories.
Six interwoven modalities form the living fabric of this work — each one a doorway, each one a medicine.
Turning to the great Mother through animist relational synarchy — Nature's wisdom and medicine. Elemental, ancestral spirit, beings of person and place, plant and animal medicines. Undomesticate your sense of self.
Voice, movement, dance, poetry, art — creative outlets of becoming. Sing through feelings, move what the body needs to release, tell your story in embodied form for liberation and self-authorship.
Initiated diviner in the Dagara lineage of West Africa, and naturally gifted medium and oracle. Turning to the unseen worlds for clarity on behalf of communicating spirits.
The body vessel as keeper of truths. Using somatic, therapeutic, shamanic, and energetic modalities to address primary energy centers and held physical tensions.
Communing with the subconscious mind like lucid dreaming — conscious, curious, free. Engaging depths of self for innovative solutions from inherent genius. Repatterning what no longer serves.
Connecting to the roots of indigeneity within us all. As a medicine woman and lineage-carrying priestess, drawing from medicine basket and spiritual allies for development and healing.
The living spiral of transformation. Each phase feeds the next — the serpent swallows its own tail and is reborn. This is how change that lasts is made.
Connect with and cultivate intentions through lessons, assignments, and personal sessions. Prime the psyche — addressing inherited blueprints, identifying limiting beliefs and emotional wounds. Build a foundation of somatic and embodied practices to support peak emotional states.
The peak: ritual and medicine ceremonies. Access extraordinary states of consciousness, bring all modalities together. Turn to the realms of Spirit through Earth-based modalities — divinations, channeling, ritual, offerings, prayer, and the cultivation of spiritual fortitude.
The recombobulation phase. Proper aftercare for lasting positive impact. Tend to what's been revealed. Intensively integrate new awarenesses and ground the changes from your intentions into a life you recognise as your own.
The cycle returns — each revolution deeper, each season more alive.
