About Jacqueline
I am a ritual artist, grief tender, tantra practitioner, sexuality educator, wilderness rites of passage guide, yoga teacher, and pleasure mentor. My specialty is in crafting meaning journeys that help my community attune to nature’s rhythms, live with soul and purpose, and come home to their sensual bodies and creative potential.
I am devoted to the art of song and ritual, to tending grief in these times of collective unravelling, and to making holy the forbidden and forgotten places of our humanness; so that we can become a little bit more whole, real, and rewoven into the web of life.
I believe that we are not just connected with Nature; we are nature. Every program I offer is crafted with this in mind. Our deepest healing can be found in our embodied belonging to Earth, just as Nature’s healing can be found in us humans recognizing that what we do to her, we do to ourselves.
I also believe that the Erotic is an antidote to many of the challenges of our times (individually and as a culture), and a path to living the fullest and most honest lives we can live. Contrary to pop narratives—which portray “erotic” as pornographic and purely sexual—Eros is our capacity to touch and be touched by the world around us; our ability to be in direct relationship with this experience of life. It lives in the unbound expression of our creations, a force that drives life itself forward, in an ever-diversifying dance of creation and erosion.
I believe that our relationship with Eros, grief, ritual and the Wild is what encourages us to turn toward life, dance with it, and respond to our sensations and experiences from a place of authenticity. In a consumer culture of individualism where so many of us struggle with isolation, distraction, overstimulation, disconnection, numbness and depletion... these relationships are our medicine.
I offer programming to facilitate individual and collective attunement with these forces so that we might live a full, creative, and connected life.

My Lineage: Self-Study
I am a long-time student of rites of passage, Soulcraft, Wild Mind, the deep imagination, heart council and dreamwork through the Animas Valley Institute. I am forever grateful for the many guides who have led me through vision fasts and countless life-changing encounters in the wild.
I studied with Kate Joyner of Dancing Serpent Mystery School, Erica Rhinehart of the Moon Path, and Amanda Verdery Young of Wild Becoming, who have all profoundly influenced my embodiment of Eros and the inner Feminine.
