teaching sauna animism at the cooperage / hot spell sauna, January 2025.
I facilitate knowledge sharing in low-pressure, relaxed environments that empower my clients to connect with their creativity, their bodies, and the natural world. See a full list of my trainings & teachers under the ‘about me’ section of my website.
I teach from a place rooted in abolishing cultural appropriation, capitalist & white supremacist behavior through making/finding your own ritual tools, learning about native and non native plants (and why we should care for both in their own way), learning ancestral practices from old europe, and more. All my workshops are queer, femme, trans safe spaces and anti-racist.
I am usually available for private lessons for groups of 2-10 interested friends. Any of my offered classes below are available for private class settings. Please email me if you have a small group that wants to learn together!
If you aren’t local to the Milwaukee area, check out my substack where I send monthly folk magic musings to paid subscribers!
