My earliest memory of exploring the esoteric was reading about Harry Houdini and trying to hypnotize my friends at sixth grade slumber parties. As a young adult, I found what I’d been looking for in the books Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley, and Out on a Limb by Shirley MacLaine.

My official training began in 1990, when I launched a deep dive into Wicca. I found Starhawk and the Reclaiming Tradition, following that path for years. I attended Diana’s Grove Mystery School and became one of their initiated staff members after a three-year process. I began working with T. Thorn Coyle, finding deep life-changing growth in their books and courses. I began teaching classes at the Crescent Springs metaphysical shop in Kansas City and leading seasonal rituals for the greater community. 

I was chosen as head of Ritual Arts for the Heartland Pagan Festival and led large group rituals at festivals of over 500 attendees for several years. I offered life cycle ceremonies, facilitating weddings, funerals, births, moon cycle ceremonies, and other rites of passage. I worked on staff at the Pagan Spirit Gathering and for all five years of the Fires of Venus festival, offering workshops and rituals for several years while co-leading the Cauldron Tribe. 

I have worked with Laura Wolf and Rima Bonario to offer intensives and retreats focusing on the Divine Feminine. I have presented at the Women of Wisdom Conference in Seattle and gathered with the Sacred Space Conference community in Maryland. Recently, I traveled to Celeste Larsen’s Witchcraft Retreat in Ireland. It  has been a profound blessing to work over the years with folks across the US and the world to deepen and expand each individual path, and seek to positively impact the larger collective.
