Storywork
Storywork sessions engage earth-based ritual practices to unveil and untangle body-myths and re-connect you to sources of rooted, relational, being.
You might think it akin to ecotherapy, spiritual guidance, or radical peer support.
I engage storywork as an anti-colonial holistic practice for embodied, alchemical transformation. Together, we re-enchant you with your most authentic, rooted, liberated self.
body-myths
Stories are woven in our vessels. They may be generative and take the shape of ancestors, loved ones, and more-than human kin; some may perpetuate extraction or harm held as trauma, shame, and conflict; and others unearth as complex mycelial memories that span geography and generations.
In Storywork, we access these body-myths and offer curiosity, tenderness, and paths to integration and re-weaving.
Common Story-threads
- Ancestral (re)connection, reconciliation, and ethnoautobiography (creation myth container)
- Life path, transitions, and sources of reciprocal power (four directions)
- Mixed-lineage and/or white-bodied reckoning, healing, and reconciliation
- Queer/Trans embodiment
- Sacred grief and rage transmutation
- Relational and familial patterns (attachment styles, relationship anarchy, and more)
- Conflict, trauma, and harm (experienced and/or caused)
- Substance use dependency
- General support and guidance
what to expect
Each session attunes to your unique ecosystem – we may engage in meditation, altar building, breathwork, plantcestral poetics, conversing, dreaming, guided drawing, movement, and divination. A custom herbal blend based on your intentions will always be present to witness and guide us.
I enjoy holding initial sessions outdoors to root directly with soil and source. Virtual options and accommodations available. Storywork can be held in one or multiple sessions depending on your desired depth and intentions.
Explore my background and mentors in “rhizome” or book a free connection call to explore how I can support you in your journey.
Storywork Containers
These containers are thematic frameworks that I have found to be most generative in re-orienting to a sense of rooted, relational, belonging. We can adapt the container to your journey, or co-create a new one unique to your specific intentions.
mula sa binhi: creation myth
Mula Sa Binhi = From the Seed.
This offering is a practice in ethnoautobiographical mythweaving to coalesce and invoke your creation story through an ancestral and place-based lens.
four directions: generative power
The Four Directions are the origin of medicine stories and the source of reciprocal, generative power. Here we re-orient you to the directions for life path alignment and affirmation.
