I am a shape shifter, a magical genderqueer being of glittery brilliance, and a representative of the Divine Masculine in a non-binary and non-dualistic physical form. I am a High Priestexx, helping connect us to our ancestors and descendants in the sacred Temple of the Everywhen. I am the grandchild of Holocaust survivors raised within the malnurturance of a tightknit Jewish community, where all I knew was avoidant attachment and dissociation as our coping strategy for the trauma of repeated genocide during thousands of years of Diaspora. Then there was growing up trans and nonbinary in the 90s, coming out 20 years ago as a queer & genderqueer unicorn. Here is woven complex PTSD and neurospicy brilliance. And so, forged in this fire, I bring gifts of somatic healing as a practice of liberation, as a tool for time travel to heal old traumas lodged in our bodies, and as a place of play and delight - especially for those of us who are multiply marginalized, carriers of ancestral and personal trauma. Magicians with incredible power to heal ourselves, our communities, and our world. My life’s work is to be one thread weaving connection in this world - to integrate our fractured selves, our fractured human communities, and our fractured environments so that we each shine our unique light as a sacred part of the Oneness.
