As the folk tale sees, I see.
As the folk tale lives, I live.
And the path to my door, that too is folktale.
Coming here, you either undergo what people undergo in a folktale,
Or you’ll never lift my latch.

Little wonder I so rarely hear my latch being lifted.
Little wonder I so rarely hear my latch being lifted.
Little wonder I so rarely hear my latch being lifted.

— John Moriarty, Invoking Ireland

A WILD HEART

A lifetime of translating scientific, spiritual, and ecological concepts led her to this work. Inspired by her Celtic ancestors who lived closely to the land, waters, and seasons, she lives as a contemplative animist. Spirit, grace and a deep, unyielding love of the Earth is at the heart of all she does and her work tends to contemplate the myriad aspects of a sovereign life, seeking to reveal the wonders of the etheric in service of connection, reverence, and deep, honorable communion.

For decades, she has moved between spirit work and the worlds of private and public philanthropy, stewarding programs in disaster relief, global health, medical education, the arts, and contemplative practice, following earlier years as an award-winning director in sustainability and resiliency. Alongside this work she has explored the stage and voice, tended the wild with unyielding devotion, and deepened her contemplative spiritual practice through Celtic mysticism, animistic traditions, and the Order of Bards, Ovates & Druids.

Mythmakers and storytellers have nurtured her creative spirit, while her grounding in environmental law, environmental science, women’s leadership, and healing practices informs her service to others through ritual, grief, and poetry offerings. Though once trained in neo-shamanic forms, she now roots her practice in ancestral Celtic traditions, holding integrity as her compass and offering her voice always in service to the unseen, silenced, and unheard.

“There's really no such thing as the 'voiceless'. There are only the deliberately silenced, or the preferably unheard.”
- Arundhati Roy

“The secret and the sacred are sisters. When the secret is not respected, the sacred vanishes. Consequently, reflection should not shine too severe or aggressive a light on the world of the soul.”

— John O’Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom

THE ANCESTORS & SPIRITS OF THE LAND

Her bloodlines are of the Gaels, Picts, and Insular Celts.

When not exploring the lands of her blood ancestors (Alba and Éire) she spends time between her birth country of Australia on the unceded ancestral lands of the Cammeraygal Clan of the Eora Nation as well as the Bundjalung Nation of the Arakwal, Minjungbal, and the Widjabul people.

When in the USA she stewards space on the traditional lands of the Ute Peoples (Nuche), the Arapaho Nation (Hinono'eiteen), and the Seven Council Fires (Oceti Ŝakowiŋ).

In solidarity, I humbly acknowledge that the land that I currently live and work on, the land that holds me, is land that holds structures of lore and maintains knowledge through oral traditions that have been practiced for thousands of generations by indigenous first peoples.

I honor their lore and their laws.
I honor their strength, wisdom, myths, customs, and cultures.
I honor their ancestors and their living children.
I honor their elders and their teachings.
I honor their spirits and animal allies.
I honor their love of our great mother Earth.

I live as their humble sister and human ally who is listening, who is sorry, and who offers her hands, ears, and heart in service of healing and moving forward, together.

If you feel so called, you are warmly invited to connect.

“One blessing of this human walk is that we can reclaim our own sovereignty with each dawn that rises.
It is our divine birthright to live in harmony with ourselves and the world around us.
This pursuit of sovereignty lays no claim over any other being; this is not about the pursuit of control and condemnation of humans or the Earth.
This pursuit lays claim to all that is yours; every piece of your heart and mind, every word you speak, every action you undertake.
To live a life replete with sovereignty is to live as a whole human in full accordance with the splendor of one’s soul.
This reclamation of self results in inner peace and prosperity that begets outer respect, contemplation, patience, and honor.”

— Heather L. Porter, On Nature & Sovereign Authority
