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. If you want to know about upcoming workshops, groups, and in-person events sign up for my newsletter below, connect with me on instagram, check out my substack, or explore my Events & Offerings page.

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.

Two things can be true: Collapse is not new, some Two things can be true: Collapse is not new, some people, communities, species have been living through collapse for generations. Global systems collapse, ecological collapse on a planetary level is new to the human species. We both need to learn from communities who know how to navigate collapse and catastrophe, and recognize that there is something novel that we’re experiencing and learning with. 

XO, H 🌈🫏🧙🏻‍♀️

PS: let me know if you’d like me to make more reels about collapse, politicized grief work, rupture and repair, interspecies connection, soul activism, other things I’m up to and feeling about.
1. The women, non-binary, and gender non-conformin 1. The women, non-binary, and gender non-conforming people who I am close with are so interesting. And they are so interested in my life, in relationality, in all of life.

2. Please please please do not come into the comments to tell us how different and amazing your man-partner is. That’s awesome, please share that with your beloveds. Also, I find many people with man-partners are not realistic about how their partners show up with others, often because their partners act differently when they’re not around, and/or they are trying to convince themselves it’s not that bad.

3. These are generalities and I am using gendered language some of the time because it’s something I, personally, am observing in relationships with men toward women. This could for sure be extrapolated out to other dynamics as well, though there’s a specific dynamic I am noticing between men and women in patriarchy (and I am noticing this across racial differences here in my little world).

4. The amount women and non-binary people have been conditioned to tolerate non-reciprocal, non-relational, scary, violent, and just unenjoyable behavior by men is devastating. Also yt women, in particular, need to be more honest about how we enable anti-relational, extractive behavior by men we’re in relationship with (especially when we benefit or are the “chosen” ones). 

5. I know I am not the first person to name these things. I am deepening my awareness and naming of them in my own life and relationships. I also know this is complex and Empire harms us all. And, I know some women and non-binary people are genuinely unsafe to disrupt these dynamics. 

6. I have compassion for all of us, women, gender non-conforming people, men, who are trying to unlearn harmful patterns and relate in more life-giving ways. Thank you to everyone moving us toward more relationality, integrated complexity, and collective liberation.
