From me, to you, to us: We begin by connecting.

An ordained lay student of Buddha Jewel Monastery, tracing my own spiral path of discovery, I hold space for others at the crossroads where creativity, culture, and a passion for liberation converge. My facilitation centers the reactivation of intuition and is an extension of my interest in the Japanese art of butoh. Through creative ritual, I seek to reclaim the transformative role of dreamers, storytellers, and artists in community.

My ancestral roots trace a path from Virginia and North Carolina to Nigeria, Ghana, and the Southeastern Bantu regions of West Africa. A multi-disciplinary artist and educator, I am a practitioner-in-training of Dr. Daniel Foor’s method of ritual, cultural repair.

Ancestral lineage healing centers our relationship to the invisible and other than human lives that sustain our own. It invites us to realign ourselves with nature and higher frequencies of space-time. Understanding the experiences of those who came before brings deeper meaning and purpose to our lives in the present.  Ritual is especially valuable for colonized people whose cultural roots have been severed or damaged. The ancestral healing process is grounded in ancient cultural practices and is a somatic pathway for addressing intergenerational troubles.

This site is a work-in-progress. It reflects my aspirations for an integrated, arts-focused, spirit-centered, multi-dimensional healing space. Like me, the site will continue to evolve. I look forward to it becoming a warm, communal, laboratory with varied offerings hosted by me and a collective of talented collaborators.

Here’s to that bright future!
