NEXT CALL Friday, 5/29/20, 12noon Pacific

It matters to me that the people who need my work can have access to it. Due to the intense nature of my work, my rates are higher than relatives, community members and collaborators may be able to afford.

I periodically do open, low-cost calls for anyone to dial in and ask their questions. Generally, I will be able to work with 5-6 people during a call, sometimes up to 10-15, if folks are game.

I will stay on the call until the last question is asked.

No one will be turned away from a call due to lack of funds.

Here are all the details, including how to figure out your question for the call.

Sun Dance, North Dakota June 21-28, 2020

I will be focussed on praying for and supporting the Medicine Butte sun dancers for the month of June.

This ceremony takes place on sacred Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara lands. This holy ceremony is a beautiful time of renewal, release, and deep commitment. The practice was outlawed by colonizers, and until 1978, sun dancers could be jailed, severely punished (by anyone) or killed for practicing. Restoring cultural ways is part of dismantling white supremacy and healing our people.

You can help by giving your support to the dancers, and my prayer family, by donating to protect ancestral lands and practices.

Thank you.

  • a mastermind retreat and want to amplify your members' decision-making process; or

  • multi-day creative immersion where I could be of service as around-the-clock muse and existential sounding board?

Magnificent! Let's discuss. Call me on +1 310 663 6630

Do you run a health institute, retreat, or spiritual center?

Queer Stealthcraft: belonging as resistance

I’ll was a student for this class, which was wonderful. My dreaming from this experience was profound. Something about the deep rest of the forest informed my work in unexpected and wonderful ways. Check out what Piñar and So at QueerNature are up to in the world. You’ll be glad you did.

Lake George, NY July 9-13, 2019

I dreamt into the 101st Annual Leadership Forum at Silver Bay.

Lake George’s original name is Andia-ta-roc-te (“lake that shuts itself in”). This forum is held on the colonized lands of the Mohawk and Abenaki people, who were there first, and still are.

What a beautiful gathering of humans we had. We dove deep into the difference between obligation and responsibility, and explored themes of visibility, identity shifts, and major life transitions. Forever grateful to be able to do this work. THANK YOU.

Oracle Talk

Wow. Incredible group of helper humans, mothers and daughters, new friends and old, gathered and worked on themes of:

Anger as Indicator

Membership and Belonging

Hiding in Plain Sight, and more.

Thank you, all who gathered, and those who continue to do the work.

ask an oracle call, March 13, 2019, 5pm, Pacific. $25

We had a magnificent deep dive into themes touching: ways of developing identity, what it means to hide in plain sight, and how to use anger as an indicator for change. This call lasted 90 minutes. I stay on Ask An Oracle calls until everyone has had an opportunity to work with me, or I reach my capacity to work, whichever comes first. I have not yet had to end a call before everyone had a chance to work.

Oracle In Residence at Compassion Camp
Bainbridge Island, WA February 8-10, 2019

I am honored to have been the oracle-in-residence, dreaming for Compassion Camp, observing themes and symbols that presented for the whole weekend. Participants, teachers and staff submitted questions, and worked with me throughout this three-day Camp.

Some of the themes were: identity development, naming, belonging, breaking trauma cycles, how to have difficult conversations, and seeing through the forest of doubt and life hardships to survivorship.

This event took place on colonized lands of the Suquamish people, who were there first, and still are. Organizers sought and received permission to gather and commune.

Ask an oracle :: On The Mountain

This gathering was truly remarkable. I met some of the most generous, loving people. I’m honored. We had 12 for the oracle talk and six one-on-one sessions the next day. Our themes were:

  • Credibility

  • Converting former foes into allies

  • The power and peril of waiting (and pining)

  • Respite

  • Mining Resentment

  • The true need for requited desires

  • Flexibility

  • Yielding to cosmic assignments

  • The fecundity of deceit 

  • Membership and belonging.

Took place on colonized lands of the Cahuilla people, who were there first, and still are.

This call was a deep dive into perspective. How can we be more clear about what we want, hold a healthy boundary, and survive what seems unsurvivable.

What an epic call--2.5 hours and over 40 people from around the world gathered to ask questions. I stayed until the very.last.question was asked. Themes were: belonging, trust, satisfaction, and deep work on getting to the REAL question and how to do that. WHOOSH! Thank you, everyone!

Colonized as Napier, New Zealand 11-12 April, 2018

This was an event that I dreamt of three years prior to it happening. I had this urge, this clear vision of being in New Zealand. At the time, I didn’t know anyone there, and it felt so far away. I worked with very wonderful human beings in Wellington, and Napier, where I was hosted by Carol at Yin Yoga Napier.

The dreams flowed for weeks leading up to this gathering. I’m forever grateful for the invitation to work with such a beautiful place and people.

Oracle Talk and Dinner

Los Angeles, Saturday, March 31, 2018, 1-5pm, Dinner at 5:30pm

I feel so lucky to be surrounded by amazing friends and family here in Los Angeles. This gathering was half new-to-me-and-my-work and half dear friends. I dreamt into everyone’s questions for the week leading up to the event, and cooked for two days prior. It was wonderful and I want to do more of this kind of communal feast and cosmic work.

LOS ANGELES, CA: December 30-31, 2017

Our themes were Creative Vigor, Sabotage, and Dissecting Lies. We also celebrated by staying for a few more hours, sharing a meal, and welcoming a few other guests after this session. I believe this initiated a new tradition for the oracle sessions, as I will definitely be cooking for participants again.

It was a deep honor to be oracle in residence for this very intimate four-day retreat on sacred land. Our themes ran from sense of place, deep knowing, natural wisdom, and many layers of allowing What Is.

This four-hour oracle session was amazing, deep and had a surprise connection among attendees who had gone to middle school together. We talked about legacy, power, collaboration, and the difference between service and obligation.
