“Let us live in a way that Earth will be grateful for us.”
- Robin Wall Kimmerer
We are facing global climate collapse and social upheaval. The desire to show up meaningfully to a suffering Earth co-arises with the fear, panic and overwhelm of a rapidly changing planet. Of a world shifting beneath our feet. Anxiety, grief, pain, anger and loneliness are very normal responses. So is a sense of urgency and a firey heart.
I provide tailored psychological and spiritual support as an eco-doula (or chaplain) to reconnect us to the healing capacity of nature. To reweave us into reciprocity for the Earth in turn.
I work in a practice I am terming Ecological Wisdom Direction, an emerging field that brings together environmentalism and the spiritual values of reverence for nature, interconnectedness, reciprocity, and service.
I facilitate practice 1:1 sessions, circles, groups and retreats to renew our relationship to the living world, and to gently navigate and support all that comes with these fractured times.
I source from various wisdom and mindfulness traditions including ecological practice, Mayahana Buddhism and the Bodhisattva path, mystical Christianity, sacred chanting and mantra, yoga, mindful movement, ecstatic dance, embodiment, nervous system regulation, and conscious service.
This philisophy is based on the Buddhist principles of; Ahimsa (do no harm), Karuna (compassion), Metta (lovingkindness) and Paṭicca-samuppāda (interconnection).
An Eco-Doula” is a bow to the midwife who helps usher forward life. Even in the midst of global warming, extreme weather, climate refugees, loss of biodiversity and wild spaces, pillaging of Indigenous sacred lands, loss of natural resources and more, new life is still possible. Perhaps in the midst of this decay, something new is growing. My desire is to be a small piece in that arrival.
Together I will accompany you to navigate grief, death and dying in order to foster rooted resilience. I extend a spaciousness to support your growth into a way of being that is mindful and loving. I will also weave practice and ritual to help you deepen your relationship with the living world. Together we will help you discover an island of coherence.
My work is especially informed by my Buddhist eco-chaplaincy certificate including Deep Ecology, my PhD in psychology and my training in trauma-informed care.
