Biographical Info
I live, work, and play on the lands of the Three Fires Confederacy, traditional territories of the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi in Southern Ontario. With a foot in "both worlds," having first trained in ceremony and participating in my first three Vision Quests through my Anishnaabek communities in Ontario, then completing my Master's in Ecopsychology through Naropa University in 2008, I am excited to be soon leading my own Rites of Passage work for both the Indigenous and Non-Indigenous communities. I have participated in numerous SOLB programs as a participant, including The Great Ballcourt with Scott and Meredith, as well as The Four Directions of the Queer Man (twice) with Scott Eberle, Collin Brown, and Paul Browde. I have also assisted on two Great Ballcourt Fasts and a Youth Fast with the SOLB.

(I am Standing White Bear of the Otter Clan)
Although I don't identify as Indigenous out of respect due to my white privilege, I do identify with the Ojibwe and Wendat DNA in my ancestry.
