i'm sami. gardener, dancer, drummer, witchy witch.

i'm here to hep you reconnect with your body, the earth, & to celebrate the MAGIC that is YOU.

it's not to0 late to create the life you truly desire.
...and it might not be the one society says you should want.

i've been on this weird (& often times confusing) path of untangling from the patriarchy
reclaiming my wildness
& unearthing my authentic, embodied, erotic warrior roots, for many years.

as i've navigated perimenopause for the past several years, something has become crystal clear:
there is much more to this phase of life than just hormonal changes.

this time - like any major life transition - is a portal.
...a kind of initiation into defining & aligning with what really matters to you.

for me, ritual & connecting deeply with plant spirit allies has been a crucial piece.
remembering my body's wisdom, celebrating the sensuality of existence
& building relationships that feel good.

i want to help you on your journey & provide a community that uplifts this curious
(& seriously magical) moment in your life.

may move into your next chapter with riotous, joyful liberation.

MY STORY

i was raised Mormon in Provo, Utah.
it's been a long journey from there, to the beer-drinking heathen-ish, animist witchy witch i am now.

i've always been a sensual, affectionate (totally erotic) person, but that behavior was shamed in the religious community i was surrounded by.
so i grew up feeling very confused, and i became a turmoiled, internalizing shell of a person -
as if walking around in a trance; unable to even name, let alone express what the fuck was going on in my mind, my heart, my spirit.

thankfully, dancing has always been an outlet of expression for me.
even when words couldn't express what i was feeling, somehow my body could. (if not in any meaningful way for others, at least for my own sanity.)

like most people, the relationships in my life have been my greatest teachers.
...but it wasn't until i embraced my love of nature and the earth, and allowed myself to be in relationship with the more-than-human spirits of this world (an animist way of understanding) - that i began to truly understand myself, my path, and the amazing,
curious, beautiful mystery that is life.

whenever i dance with joy and passion.... whenever i drum my heart out and sing like i'm calling forth the ancients.... whenever i enjoy the full extent of pleasure
my body has the capacity to experience....
i hear my ancestors cheering, with a joyful, resounding YES.
