What qualifies me to teach?
​
My background is both academic and experiential. I’ll offer details of both here.
​
Over the years I have been deepening my work on myth, folklore, ritual and the history of religion with an MA in the Poetics of Imagination, along with courses at Oxford University and Pacifica Graduate Institute. Please see below for a full list of my credentials.
I am now a full-time writer, self-publishing weekly Sunday pieces on my Substack. I hold monthly online rituals, teach courses, and offer healing work in online and in person settings.
I am currently writing my first book.
