Tashi

I am a psychedelic educator and transformational coach, honored to share the gifts I have received and tools I have collected over decades as an initiate of traditional ceremony and disciple of earth-based wisdom. I integrate a weave of somatic and ecstatic practices, expressive arts modalities, and trauma-informed therapies into my offerings. Nature is the author of my mission: to support communion with the more than human, center us in the here and now, and help us awkward modern humans awaken to the miracle.

I believe that our capacity to keep our balance is best supported by a web of relational practices; as we tend subtle connections between souls, bodies, nature, community and spirit, we enter a field of love that makes transformation inevitable. Held in unconditional compassion, we listen to and nourish the primordial brilliance expressed through our deepest longings, elicit and nurture each person’s creative gifts, and contribute to the emergence of a regenerative culture in which all beings have a place to thrive.

I’m midway through a PhD at the California Institute of Integral Studies, deepening my studies in Eastern and Western psychological and mystical traditions, and concurrently enrolled in a 1400 hour advanced program in Integrative Psychedelic Therapy with Ecstatic Mysticism. I have been a practitioner in the Santo Daime—a syncretic lineage from the Brazilian Amazon—since 1999, and a lead musician in thousands of ceremonies.
