Speaking & Facilitation

I am on a mission to help LGBTQ+ folks interrupt violence through active love practices and self-belonging.

I light up when speaking, facilitating, and consulting about:

—Using active love practices to interrupt and dismantle internalized and externalized interpersonal violences.

—Integrating conscious and inclusive language, consent, and trauma-informed practices in your presentations, speeches, written artifacts, practices, policies, and evaluations.

—Why it’s important to create LGBTQ+ inclusive wellness and healing businesses.

—My experiences as a thriving, healing queer, nonbinary Femme who has survived intimate partner violence, school bullying and sexual assault.

—How to counter violence and create belonging in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEI, DEIB) programs.

I have been creating, curating, and facilitating events and experiences that are collective, participatory, transformative, and healing since 2007.

All events that I present are informed by the following lenses:

  • my extensive background in trauma-informed somatic and body-based healing

  • social justice non-hierarchical frameworks

  • anti-racism practices and frameworks

  • conscious, inclusive, and trauma informed language and conceptualization

  • individual and community healing and resilience practices, and

  • collective care.

coming of age ceremonies

gender affirmation ceremonies

space clearings

trauma releasing ceremonies

healing with new health realities

…and more…

Not in Minnesota or a nearby region? I can curate and create your special ceremony to be held remotely by Zoom or other videoconferencing technology, or with appropriate resourcing, I can travel to you.
