Tatchi Ocean

I am an educator, ceremonialist and guide, dedicated to cultivating spaces for integrative transformation. All I do is rooted in traditional wisdom, attuned to the science of consciousness research, and informed by decades of apprenticeship to the plants, alongside deep study in somatic, arts-based and ecopsychological modalities. Inspired by the recognition that our hurting world needs all of our gifts, I share this bundle of offerings with a vision of mutual flourishing: may it nourish souls, illuminate minds, open hearts, and tend the web that connects the personal, social, ecological, and cosmic.

My work is gender-identity and poly-affirming, and grounded in decolonial, anti-racist, feminist and neuro-queer theory. I am committed to solidarity with movements for indigenous sovereignty, with a deep bow of gratitude to the Coast Salish tribes who are the original stewards of the land I call home. I speak English and Spanish. All are welcome, including those with marginalized identities and limited resources.

I am midway through a PhD at the California Institute of Integral Studies, advancing studies in Engaged World Psychologies and deepening my knowledge and trauma-informed skillset within a network of mentors.

Every song we sing together brings us closer to a culture of loving reciprocity.
