Sarah is a Guide,
Lover of the wild and true.
She is an Educator and Writer,
At play in the poetics of
Body, Wilderness & Word.
She creates spaces of depth, remembering and possibility.
truth-telling as ceremony. nature as self. word as creation force. body as ritual. sexual energy as origin.
These are some of the places she calls home.
The Elemental Self is an ecosystem-a living, breathing body of work.
