"every being is endowed with certain gifts, its own intelligence, its own spirit, its own story. our stories tell us that the Creator gave these to us as original instructions. the foundation of education is to discover that gift within us and learn to use it well. these gifts are also responsibilities, a way of caring for each other.” -Robin Wall Kimmerer, Gathering Moss

 

my name is jarral (they/them). i am one of many who are here to help us find our way back. i am a child of the Haudenosaunee stewards of Turtle Island and the African folx who were kidnapped and enslaved there. i am a trauma and somatic informed facilitator, liberationist, Hoodoo practitioner, spirit worker, & healer. i have a background in antiracism, intersectionality, and abolition, applied to 46 years of human experience in a Black, Indigenous, chronically ill, neurodivergent, femme body. what that means for you:

i have been gifted with communication. i can talk to dead people, trees, other animals, water, fire, rocks, air... i work with plant medicines. i am in deep connection with my body and listen to its guidance. i understand community, relationships, and healing through an Indigenous lens, which centers interconnectivity. i can guide you back to your inherent ability to do any or all of these things.
