Writing
As a Libra Sun born in the best month of the year on this land, October, I am a highly relational thinker and communicator. As Leo Moon and Leo Rising, I have a deep desire to express myself in authentic ways. My primary paid work is teaching justice and peace studies in online and hybrid formats for the Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. I am a writer. I love reflecting on all my favorite topics in writing and in person in the communities of which I am a part. I have three books you can find in “Publications” below!
Plant Products
While living in Denver, I received herbal treatment for the first time. I was so intrigued with this healing experience that I enrolled in my first course in herbalism. I spent several years studying plant medicine - including herbal medicine, aromatherapy, and food as medicine. Plant medicine has played a primary role in decolonizing my mind, my religious understanding, and spiritual practices. The herbal and aromatherapy products that I offer to the public are the same ones that I use personally and regularly as a means of relating to myself and to the earth in simple, natural, and just ways. There is nothing I love more than creating fresh herbal teas for friends when they come over, making fresh rose medicines from wild harvested beach roses, and making custom aromatherapy products for people.
