~Integrative Medicine Woman, Northern American/European Animist Practitioner of 45 years, Registered Expressive Arts Therapist, poet, journalist, Master Storyteller, mythographer, Ritualist, Community Celebration Artist,  Arts Activist, 

​~Non-Denominational, spiritually-inclusive Ministry Program with emphasis on designing, implementing and officiating practical ministry services, liturgy, spiritual programs, rites-of-passage and communal healing ceremony in
Western Animist Traditions/Northern European/Celtic/Norse/Germanic Traditions and inter-denominational Faith and Nature practices.


​~What is the Earth Wisdom Mystery School?  In ancient Western Esoteric Traditions, a mystery school transmitted to initiates a very specific, often secret practice of a spiritual system.  
~The Earth Wisdom Mystery School differs from this process. The Wisdom Teachings are not from any orthodox doctrine or codified spiritual system.  Rather, the Earth Wisdom Mystery School honors intuitive awareness as it arises spontaneously, through inter-relationship to and interconnection with ever-communicating wonders and phenomena of the Natural World.
~ We offer gathering places, both virtual and at Wise Acre Retreat Center which bring together discussion, active individual and group investigation, constantly-evolving, intuitive discovery, re-creative and experiential sharing of a deep range of Northern and Pan European, Norse, Celtic, Germanic and Anglo animist traditions from the earliest forms of ecstatic and Nature-Earth-honoring awareness.

~ What is ANIMISM as a practice and a healing profession?  Animism is the most ancient of all spiritual traditions, predating even primordial shamanic practices. It is the source and foundation of every healing, ceremonial, individual and communal "religious function" known to humanity. 
~ Animism is described by indigenous cultures as a recognition of and relationship with The Spirit That Moves in All Things.
~Animism is the understanding that all of Life is informed and charged by a dynamic Existence which has both unique vitality and an interconnection with the Universal.
~The practice of Animism is  reflective and active, practical and philosophical, humble and holistic--and is most directly experienced in life-long, daily exchange with the Living Energies of the Natural World.  
​~Animism can also be understood as the conscious development of communication with and honoring of First Nature--the human relationship with the Fire of Life in all creature-forms, species and incarnated beings.  
~To be alive is to be Animated. The spark of Creation in all living beings is also a conduit to Natural Phenomena and other realms. It is the  expression of Anima/Animus or profound longing and potential "marriage" with and through the Divine, however we may experience It/Them.
~Integrative Medicine Healing through Animism may include many forms:  Seeing/Divining for the Planet and the People; the original forms of Eco-Psychology and Wilderness Therapy; studying with the Native Spirit of Plants and Animal Teachers; Ordination in Secular Ministry and the creation, Officiation and Celebration of Life Events. These include officiating the rituals of vital forces enacted in all seasons of human, environmental and Life Transformation Ceremony; Rites of Passage for Wisdom-Seeking, Gratitude, Grieving and Guidance, and much more.​
