I'm a PhD candidate in Religious Studies. I focus on contemplative traditions and their theories and structures of knowledge--embodied, gendered, esoteric, ecstatic, charismatic, ritual, natural, erotic. I'm an enthusiast of roses and other flowers. I read the Akashic Records. I practice Scaravelli yoga, an intuitive, natural movement approach to spacious embodiment. I am a poet and a painter, and I like to swear and talk about sex a lot. I like to do rituals naked in the dirt, but I also like clothes and shoes, especially the embroidered, flowered, bedazzled, comfortable and dramatic, and anything that looks like you might meditate cocooned inside it. I read Latin and Tibetan and sometimes Italian, all with the help of dictionaries. I love the sound the rain and the water makes, and leaves, and books, and flames. I have a sword and a small, white dog and a husband, and several esoteric word and image projects. The bone harp is the instrument of my songs and notes, my projects and my thoughts--so, Welcome. Go get a cup of tea and a favorite snack, and take a seat. Let's talk about all the things we're not supposed to talk about, like art, like magic and sex, like power and religion.
