I am grateful for the many lineages that have informed this work, including…

Mary Greer and the grouping of the cards into nine “Tarot Constellations,” which was conceived by her teacher, Angeles Arriens.

 The fractal, nature wisdom and the fierce commitment to justice and pleasure of adrienne maree brown’s books Emergent Strategy and Pleasure Activism.

Joseph’s Campbell’s study of myth and the journey of story.

Joanna Macy’s work that reconnects, including “the Great Turning,” and her work with ancestors which helped guide me in my own lineage healing and has helped me understand the ancestral relationships in the tarot.

 Clarissa Pinkola Estes’ work on the transformative power of story, especially in her book Women Who Run with the Wolves.

 Resmaa Menakem’s course, Foundations of Somatic Abolitionism and book My Grandmother’s Hands,and his wisdom on ancestral trauma, somatics and the way whiteness shows up in my own body and in the cultures around me.

The Reclaiming tradition of witchcraft, which has given me a home, a spiritual lineage and a place to practice my craft in a community who is committed to learning power-with, together.

Anti-oppression facilitation techniques and somatic intelligence from the teachers at Both/And.

My somatic coaching teachers at Deep Coaching Institute, including Roxanne Howe-Murphy, who taught me that the body knows the journey into the unknown and back again, and that we can trust this wisdom.
