The Rewilding Retreat

The Rewilding Retreat is the sacred space I'm launching in the fall of 2025, where I guide Disabled QTIBIPOC folks in reconnecting with embodied creativity through the land, our bodies, and our ancestors.

I am not active on social media, so the best way for you to get a sense of my working style and philosophy, as well as receive updates when The Rewilding Retreat registration opens, is through my newsletter, The Rewilding.

Tip Me

Artists deserve to be compensated for their labor, not just when institutions say so. 

Capitalism and colonialism have devalued creative work, especially by disabled, neurodivergent, QTIBIPOC artists. 

Our art has been treated as a luxury for both artist and audience, instead of a vital force for change and connection. 

If my work has moved you, challenged you, or fed you in any way, tipping is a way to honor our exchange outside of extractive systems. 

Thank you for supporting art that resists, regenerates, and refuses to be commodified.
