Let's Connect

While my home-base is in Colorado—on the stolen, ancestral lands of the Arapaho, Ute, and Cheyenne tribes—I work with people and communities across the Dreaming Earth. You can send me a digital howl using the button below.

This is the truth. I’ve been the least resourced, This is the truth. I’ve been the least resourced, most vulnerable on a team that wasn’t naming power dynamics, impact, and harm and it took a toll on my psyche, on my body. I’ve also been on the other end and caused harm. May we practice skill-full truth telling and compassionate accountability. May we learn how to navigate rupture and repair with dignity and honesty. And so it is. XO, H 🌈🫏🧙🏻‍♀️
Feeling this. I think grief rituals as I know them Feeling this. I think grief rituals as I know them are wanting to mutate, are wanting to be more free. Someone told me they were at a 4-day grief ritual and the g*noc*des were not named once. Someone else told me power and harm wasn’t talked about at all. What the actual f*ck? For that to happen there would have to be some major energy of suppression—like we’re not going there. I want more aliveness, less control, less managed, less contained. More fiiiiiire. XO, H 🌈🫏🧙🏻‍♀️
participatory consciousness entangled perception participatory consciousness entangled perception noetic knowing telepathy This is where my work is headed. This is what I mean when I talk about, teach about, sense into “ritual.” Life is perceiving itself through relationships with each other, with the beyond-human. Fellow collaborators practicing, feeling, dreaming this with me: @imlikenlichen @thishallowedwilderness @srjs XO, H 🌈🫏🧙🏻‍♀️
I live with a chronic illness and disability. I’m I live with a chronic illness and disability. I’m grateful to be alive. Three years ago, I had no idea what was happening to me. I was experiencing the most unsettling neurological symptoms that I didn’t know were even possible. I spent months going from doctor to doctor who were mostly unhelpful. I thought I was going to die, and likely would have if I hadn’t found my current doctor when I did. She was an answer to my wild, tired, desperate prayers/spells. She ordered 43 blood tests all at once. When the test results came back, she started treatment immediately. It gave me some semblance of a life back. Thank you past-Holly for keeping going. I don’t know if I’ll ever fully recover from the medical debt and financial ramifications. I do know I’ll be navigating this the rest of my life. I also know that the overculture is incredibly unkind to sick and disabled people. I had already lost a lot friends when my sister died a few years prior because most people don’t have the endurance to stay with grievers through the immensity of devastating loss. Being sick kinda cleared out the rest of them. (Hey there if any of you still follow me 👋🏻, also f*ck you for abandoning me 🫥.) I’ll never understand why I’m here and my sister, Ivy, isn’t. Why was I offered a treatment for my illness and she wasn’t? Capitalism is cruel, systems of supremacy and soul severance are cruel. I long for a care centered world. Disability centered spaces have shown me it’s possible. We’re living in the future, a slow, relational, emergent place where care isn’t a miracle, it’s life tending life. 43 tests. I’m 43 years old (almost 43 and a half). May I make it a few more years and practice + receive an abundance of care along the way. So it is. XO, H 🌈🫏🧙🏻‍♀️
We don’t need more information, we don’t need more We don’t need more information, we don’t need more thought leaders, we need more imagination, more people in deep practice, more Soul. I’m just so uninterested in teachers, speakers, facilitators, leaders, people who aren’t actively practicing shared power, rupture and repair, community-held ritual, co-dreaming and creating, long-term village building. Also, it seems like we’re looping on social media and having the same conversations we’ve been having for at least a decade 😴. Anyone else feel this way? 🥀 That’s all I got. Oh, and we’re offering a four-day grief ritual in August that’s going to be f*cking amazing. Truly. Shout out to our co-facilitation team: @thishallowedwilderness @tajahsahar @jessi_rado_ and our drummers, including @bamtamerson #griefritual #griefwork #culturemaking #villagebuilding #theheartisafrontline
SORROWS OF THE WORLD VIGIL: April 27th 4-5pm MDT / SORROWS OF THE WORLD VIGIL: April 27th 4-5pm MDT / 6-7pm EDT. All grief is welcome. A vigil is a devotional time where we come together to acknowledge and mourn our personal and collective sorrows. It’s a time when we can slow down and tend to our grief together. We’ll open with a welcome and poem, then we’ll ground together and light candles to mark our time in sacred ritual space. With candles lit, there will be an invitation to share griefs and losses in the chat so that we can hold them in our communal container. Music will play for 15-20 minutes. While the music is playing, participants are encouraged to tend their altars, meditate, connect with ancestors, write, draw, cry, stretch, or simply be—anything that honors and makes space for our sorrows. We’ll come back together for a somatic centering practice, then a poem or blessing, and blow out our candles to close. BASIC INFO Co-Facilitators: Naila Francis @thishallowedwilderness and Holly Truhlar @hollytruhlar Date and Time: Monday, April 27th 3-4pm PDT / 4-5pm MDT / 6-7pm EDT Where: Zoom (not recorded); register on EventBrite Materials: Candles encouraged Gratitude to the people quoted on the slides: @kaihazelwood @autumnmeghanbrown @rowenwhite
