I’m a teacher, artist, psychotherapist and spiritual director. My approach to all services comes from the Northwest Coast Feast Hall, Buddhist teachings, and the teachings of Christ and is founded on relationship with self, the Supernatural and others. My methodology is grounded in the primary need to be heard and understood without judgement — respect for others and self.
My work is deeply rooted in Indigenous healing principles on the northwest coast of British Columbia where art and social relationships continue to have a strong presence in society through the Feast Hall. I practice the discipline of awakening and healing through the power of personal life stories and work from the wealth of spiritual and academic teachers from diverse traditions. Art and art-based contemplation play a large role in my practice.
Facilitation of small and large group dialogue on “right relations” from a spiritual perspective.
Individual and small group Spiritual Direction for self-inquiry and social investigation.
Skills include program & curriculum development, program evaluation and community relations.
Topics include: language and meaning, spiritual teachings and Indigenous perspectives, trauma and healing, spiritual transformation.
In addition to creating work available for gallery exhibits, I offer individual and small group facilitation of techniques such as image transfer, zines, collage and mask making to explore personal and cultural resources, conditioning and beliefs. See WORKSHOPS for details.
Psychotherapist services are integrated into all services and include Somatic wisdom, the intellect of emotion, family dynamics, the nature of conditioning, healing from trauma and generational knowledge.
