styles: i love facilitating collective learning that utilizes a wide variety of modalities to help us attune to multiple ways of knowing. journaling, guided meditation, plant medicine, crafting, small and larger group discussions are all

goal: these tend to focus on co-creating containers that help us nourish our connection to ourselves, each other and the more-than-human world.

sometimes, all we need is someone to connect with in a way that feels supportive. this could be tea time, a walk, cooking, creating… whatever experience we co-create together that fosters connection.

i see land and culture as inherently interwoven and tending them together has the potential for us to cultivate our practice of collective liberation.

any place-based practitioner has a responsibility to support access to land for our Indigenous communities. there are several inspiring Indigenous-led projects and initiatives to connect with and support in ways that are meaningful to us and ideally, ultimately, help us remember and reclaim our own Indigeneity and what it means in this place, and in this moment.

so much pain and trauma is sourced from deeply internalized oppression that undermines our sense of self worth. plants are here to support us build a stronger foundation to root into in times of conflict and accountability.

organizations, especially those that rely on conventional decision-making structures and roles, provide fertile soil for oppression to be maintained and fortified. i’d love to find ways to inoculate your organizational culture with life-affirming practices and processes that help compost the systems of oppression and create tilth for organizational cultures that are rooted in wellness.

boundaries are fertile ground for healing, gaining clarity of purpose, engaging in relationship hygiene and nurturing trusting ourselves.

i’m beginning to learn a variety of place-based crafts including botanical dyeing, ink making, basket making and more. i can facilitate some beginner level learning opportunities with you.

grief continues to be a potent teacher and i am very grateful to be able to share and learn and grow together as we hold containers for collective grieving.

so much healing can come from connecting and co-regulating with trees, birds, rivers, rocks. i love leading nature walks that support people in feeling connected to the more-than-human world in ways that center inter-being.

in many places, dominant culture tends towards conflict avoidance. but often, just underneath the conflict, lies the rich pollinating potentiality that conflict brings to catalyze our own fruition.

in my early adulthood, i struggled with alcohol use as a form of coping with a world that i was finding hard to be at peace with. as i deepen my herbal practice, i love concocting herbal beverages as another way to work with plant spirits.

watercolor painting is one of my favorite ways to adore plants in a slow and intentional way.

so often, we focus our design skills on things we consider outside of ourselves. and yet, we are intuitively designing our lives in so many ways ranging from our kitchen set-up to our daily, weekly, annual and even multi-year cycles and rhythms.

i’m nurturing a very special dream seed to collectively tend land and culture in my place of origin - kerala. the western ghats are an incredible biocultural hub that i feel deeply moved to be in deep relationship. when i visited this area in 2017, my bones let me know that this is where they would like to be buried.

at this time, i’m looking for collaborators to sprout a collective land justice based initiative in india in the western ghat area.
