Wisdom is something I pieced together with memory and dirty hands.
Something I made.
Something handed to me from those before me who knew, and kept it in their bones.
writer, ritualist, naturalist, public historian working with land, memory, and what we choose to carry.
This work is rooted in belonging. Belonging is a deep, felt sense that you come from somewhere. That your name, your hands, your rhythms are not accidental. Without that sense, we drift and forget how to care. We lose the thread between past and present, body and place, self and soil.
I create spaces in public view, on the page, in private ceremony, and in the natural world where that thread can be picked back up.
I work at the seam of ancestral practice and ecological attention.
What we do, how we’ve engaged each other, and what we have to show for it matters. The process and the product of the work each have their own lineages. The process leaves a mark on us, on each other, and on the land; that mark is the real legacy.
I collaborate with environmental centers, arts councils, museums, universities, educators, influencers, researchers, public servants, spiritual collectives, scientists, planners, and public historians, anyone looking to bring more meaning into their work and root it in service beyond the self. Whether you’re designing policy, a performance, museum interpretation, community event, ritual, land-use planning, or a curriculum, I offer language, structure, and story that helps reconnect purpose to place, people, and memory. My work spans across industries, exploring the humanity and wilderness therein through themes of grief, inheritance, ritual, and the quiet crises that build when we forget who we are to each other.
This is work about meaning, and making a life that leaves something worthy behind.
