Public Speaking & Prayerformance
-
I create original, interactive talks and prayerformances that are deeply attuned to the present moment. Each gathering, each audience, each point in time calls forth something unique, and I listen closely to what wants to emerge. My goal is to engage authentically with those present, allowing space for a message or medicine story to unfold in real-time—something alive, relevant, and intuitively guided.
This work is a co-creative act. The energy in the space is not mine alone to generate—it arises from the relationship between us. I approach each offering with reverent curiosity and a deep commitment to the wisdom that can emerge when we attune to the subtle forces around and within us.
Prayerformance is a living, breathing territory where reverence (and irreverence,) ritual, poetry, story, healing, and nature converge. It’s where I experiment with praying dangerously—abandoning politeness and control to bring my raw, unguarded self to the altar of life. It’s about saying yes so fully it renews us all.
There’s no fixed formula, but certain ingredients help: syncing with the moon or the turning of the seasons, employing the elements, engaging the senses, and honoring the collective intelligence in the room. What matters most is beginning in beauty, staying humble and flexible, and walking with what Caroline Casey calls “experimental faith.”
If you’re seeking a speaker who can bring a blend of ritual, storytelling, poetry, and healing to your event, I’d be honored to explore the possibilities with you. Whether for a community gathering, retreat, or special event, I offer talks that invite reflection, connection, and transformation. Reach out if you sense my presence could enhance your gathering.
“You are a hilarious and creative wordsmith who is genius and magnetic on stage, and I love how you ‘let us all have it’ or ‘have ourselves’ or ‘have it all opened up’ with your unconventional and unassuming style.” -K.S.
