I have always been on a search to know myself and the world around me more deeply and profoundly. I have always longed to live a life of adventure and magic and sweet connection with people and animals. I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was a kid, and an actress. Later, I wanted to be an animal keeper at the Los Angeles Zoo and I took all kinds of courses towards that including an internship at the zoo. Eventually, my interests changed to wanting to help people. I wanted to help others, as well as myself, understand and embrace their innate beauty and essential mystery. I became a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncturist, a massage therapist and a yoga instructor and meditation teacher as ways to share my desire to guide people back to their own inner Divine nature and back to their connection with nature and the world around them. I became a certified Co-Active Coach as a way to support and guide people back to their own inner knowing and self trust. I am becoming an Equine Guided Coach as a way to learn from the magical and highly sensitive horse in order to live my life in a daily prayer of presence and truth and to, yet again, share this path with those that resonate with it. More than ever, at this time of my life, I feel called to share all that I have learned with others regarding self compassion and self love. I have learned from my own path of self discovery that the more that I stay connected to my own self truth and inner guidance, the greater is my connection with other people and the animal and plant world. I believe with all of my heart that each one of us deserves to experience life in it’s full magnificence while also allowing ourselves to experience hardships and difficulties and pains just as fully. This is a life fully lived.

I translate the wild feminine into writing, multimedia art, teaching, motherhood, and witchcraft, but I aim to have my core message constant: It is our birthright to resurrect embodied spirituality, a unique holiness that is lived out and experienced in the body, through the senses, and made manifest in ritual, story, and magick-making. I am the author of Woman Most Wild: Three Keys to Liberating the Witch Withinand The Holy Wild: A Heathen Bible for the Untamed Woman(New World Library 2017 and 2018), a pagan poet and heathen storyteller, a Celtic free-style Witch, and I long for the mists.

In this week's edition of Tranquility du Jour, I discuss my solo trip to Paris—takeaways, delights, and challenges. Takeaways: 1. Add beauty. The other night I stopped by a flower shop to pick up a pink hyacinth for 3 euros. The shopkeeper wrapped it in Kraft paper for my walk home. This little gem is deliciously fragrant and sitting next to me as I type. 2. Saunter. Each day I've explored various parts of the city for at least 15,000 steps (about six miles). The lack of rushing and the chance to take in Paris by foot with stops at sidewalk cafes to warm up or rest has been a treat. 3. Greet. It's customary to say "bonjour" upon entering shops or even purchasing a train ticket from an agent. There's a formality that feels quaint and civilized. 4. Sip. When I first arrived, I went straight to a cafe and sat for nearly an hour sipping two pots of thé vert à la menthe (green mint tea). There's no rush to turn over a table for another client, you can linger and sip as long as you'd like. 5. Read. I love seeing people with books in hand on the metro, at cafes, and, of course, in the many book shops. It's a great reminder to put the phone down and sink into a good read. 6. Express. Men in red pants, women in leopard-print, kids on scooters. There's a sense of style that's wrapped in self-expression. 7. Savor. A baguette here is a heavenly experience. Pizza sans cheese doused in a spicy oil is divine. The dark chocolates melt in your mouth. And there's an abundant amount of green juice. 8. Appreciate. Finding gifts to bring home is a treasure hunt. Today I picked up olive oil in a square bottle modeled after Chanel No. 5, a pink rose candle, gold (yes, gold!) peppercorns, and chocolates wrapped in pastel paper.
