Tachi
I am honored to offer my services as a guide for those called to explore consciousness. Decades of study and training in ceremony, ecopsychology, depth psychology and Eastern spiritual traditions have led me to a holistic approach that bridges ancient shamanic technologies with emergent therapeutic modalities, and is rooted in the guidance of nature and wisdom of the body.
My own path of transformation has taught me the power of integrating initiatory work with contemplative, creative and embodiment practices that nurture a felt connection with the sacred. My medicine pouch is full of the treasures I have collected on my journey, and my life’s work is the giving of all I have received and continue to receive, with infinite gratitude to the sacred in nature.
I am committed to ongoing training and education that supports me to deepen my offering within a network of accountability to elders in earth-based traditions and mentors in integral therapies. As a practitioner in the Santo Daime—a syncretic Amazonian lineage—and a lead musician in thousands of ceremonies, music is integral to my offering. My devotion to somatic practices has convinced me of the centrality of the body in healing and spiritual work.
I believe that each one of us—no matter what weight we carry or wounds we have endured—has an innate capacity for authentic belonging, conscious relationship, and a life vibrant with meaning.
