Hi, I'm Sharyn. Here's my official bio.

Their work dives deep into social justice, spirituality and personal sovereignty. Sharyn is passionate about anti-oppression, anti-racism, creating inclusive spaces, feminism, inclusive menstruality, anti-capitalist & conscious business strategy, creativity and self-expression and works as a consultant in these areas.

- Gutsy Leadership Circle guiding other leaders to bring sacred activism to the heart of their lives and businesses
- Descent Circle, a coven for revolutionaries, creatives, witches, dissenters, rebels, changemakers, disrupters and people who desire a place of belonging after decades of being conditioned to believe they don’t deserve to feel safe in their bodies, safe in their homes, to belong or feel the warmth that collective care and togetherness brings and;
- Witchuition®, a year long coaching coven on life, business and practical magic for witches, trailblazers, sacred activists, leaders, entrepreneurs and spiritual badasses now in its second year
- Coming soon (late 2021) are Menstruality Courses and Coaching Sessions, including Craft Your Menstrual Medicine Toolkit open now.

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.
