My definition of a sacred activist:
I walk the path of a social justice and anti-oppression advocate and have done so for most of my life in various ways. It's my devotion to humankind. Sacred activism isn't just a ’fad’ or 'trendy' addition, it's woven into every facet of this immersive work (and my life!).
- Social justice united with ancestral, cultural and community care, connection and practice.
- Holistic heart-led coaching united with a personal sovereignty and trauma-informed approach.
- Inclusive Leadership woven with embodied, intuitive & liberatory intelligence.
Doing away with gender binary language
I don’t use the words 'feminine' or 'masculine' to describe energy, bodies or traits. Binary thinking and language erases and excludes, and I am not here for that.
