Living With Purpose, Passion, and Power!
Purpose:
As an urban shaman, award-winning author, popular speaker and workshop
leader for the past 35 years, it has been my job to track and celebrate
the cosmic cycles of the seasons, as well as the universal seasons of
human life. It is my special concern to reconnect the urban population
with the wondrous workings of the natural world. To that end, I have
led countless joyful celebrations of celestial events that have
introduced ancient traditional rituals and contemporary ceremonies to
millions of people in more than 100 cities since 1972.
Passion:
It is my particular passion to inspire and empower women to rise to
their full potential, to step into their own sovereignty, and to become
the Queens of their own lives. Now, when the planet is suffering from
testosterone poisoning, it is crucial for women to accept the mantle of
conscientious leadership.
Power:
I maintain a ceremonial center, spirit shop, ritual practice and
consultancy in Exotic Brooklyn, NY where I work with individuals,
groups, institutions, municipalities and corporations to create
meaningful ceremonies for every imaginable occasion. If you are seeking
your own purpose, passion, and power, do contact me. I can help.
