My Story

My adventures in Nature over the past couple of years have prompted me to re-assess my values and beliefs. I have come to learn more about what it means to be whole within ourselves, among each other, and with the more-than-human world. And I have become convinced that everything is deeply interconnected.

Yet, the way in which societies across the world have been interacting with the more-than-human world is testament of anything but kinship. We are deeply estranged from the natural world, primarily viewing our earthly home as a place to use, to extract from, and to exploit.

I believe that a spiritual shift is needed, one where we move away from a paradigm of separateness and competitiveness to a paradigm of community and connection.

I wish to contribute to bringing about this shift through poetry performances and publications. I am deeply fascinated by language. I started writing poetry when I was a teenager and after setting it aside for other endeavours, I returned to it 6 years ago when I became a mother.

Language is central to how I wish to make a contribution to bringing about this spiritual shift that I think is necessary. I am interested in how language, as a social practice, behaves across the emotional and ecological landscapes that we inhabit and how it can invite reflection, reverence, and even revolution.
