Between us, we hold decades of holding space: for writers finding their voice, for people crossing the thresholds of grief and change, for the slow magic that arrives when a small circle of people quiets down long enough to remember who they are.

Fever Dreams Collective is what we make together — an intimate gathering, where the creative work is yours, and the container is ours to hold with care. We come to it as a Story Collector and a Sacred Gatherer, a Deep Listener and a Wild Seeker. Mostly, we come to it as two women who believe you deserve a few days to dream.

We can't wait to meet you beneath the oaks.

I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. I live on unceded Coast Salish Snohomish territory, and I’m a ritualist, animist, and embodied folkloric wild woman. I’m also an Orphan Wisdom School scholar, a community-centered herbalist and a bee priestess, meaning I have been tending the magical honeybees for many, many moons now. As a mother who raised two sons, I have long studied earth-based ancestral skills alongside my boys and I enjoy botanical dyeing, making pottery, gardening, sewing, and am a multi passionate creative.

I have a gift for holding sacred space, for deep listening, and for seeing the ordinary in extraordinary ways. 

In the past, I founded and edited a print literary journal (Blackberry: a magazine), published personal essays, creative nonfiction, and poetry for a variety of online and print publications.

I currently make my home in the heart of Napa Valley on the traditional lands of the Wappo (Onasatis). I am a believer in community, dreaming big dreams, and the power of words to connect us.
