Ecopsychology at its finest 🔥 Bill Plotkin is truly a legend when it comes to human development and earth centered exploration of the subconscious mind.

I'm lucky enough to have obtained a scholarship for a "Soulcraft" course through the Bill Plotkin & Animas Valley Institute so I'll be diving deeeeep in the next few weeks.

I'm looking forward to blending this with my already existing knowledge around hypnotherapy, nature based therapy, and coyote mentoring. All of this and more for myself and clients, offering the very best!

Reach out if you're curious and wanting to explore this realm of possibilities. Safe journeys to you all 🌄

Mindful - a poem by Mary Oliver 😌

Every day
I see or hear
something
that more or less

kills me
with delight,
that leaves me
like a needle

in the haystack
of light.
It was what I was born for -
to look, to listen,

to lose myself
inside this soft world -
to instruct myself
over and over

in joy,
and acclamation.
Nor am I talking
about the exceptional,

the fearful, the dreadful,
the very extravagant -
but of the ordinary,
the common, the very drab,

the daily presentations.
Oh, good scholar,
I say to myself,
how can you help

but grow wise
with such teachings
as these -
the untrimmable light

of the world,
the ocean's shine,
the prayers that are made
out of grass?

"I'm beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to dive into the subconscious depths with Fox as my hypno therapist. They possess such divine skill guiding in these spaces. I felt quite supported by how thorough and professional they are when it comes to pre session work and even more supported by how innately tuned in they are when knowing exactly where and when to guide me while I was deep in the hypnotic state. This last statement is especially impressive considering that I tend to become very none vocal and distant when in deep states of trance. Fox really knows how to cultivate a safe and nurturing environment, this allowed me to be open enough to dive to deep places. All round I'm very happy with my experience." -Flow

Let's connect and journey together - now that winter is upon us, I'm settled in and ready to take on hypnotherapy clients again ❄️🍂

With the season changing, I can feel the shift within... The call to slow down and tend to my body, my heart, and my soul. Reviving and engaging in all the practices that call my subconscious forth. Reading, writing, dreaming, visualizing, tracking the synchronicities. I wonder what's alive for you at this time?

Let me be your guide and provide a space for us to work on understanding your past or your current situation better... We could also lay some groundwork for future shifts and opportunities.... How exciting!

Send me a message to book a free consultation call. Sliding scale available (talk to me if money is a barrier)!

Life changing experience out in Alberta with the Îyârhe Nakoda and other indigenous knowledge keepers ❤️🦌 I had the pleasure to learn more about hunting and meat processing, while also deepening my relationship with gardening and wild foraging. My highlight was the making of dry meat as well as the many conversations around decolonization and rewilding practices... Thank you Experience Howl !!! 🐺

Incredibly privileged to know this ancient forest and the trees it contains ✨ it's been special to be a part of conservation efforts to protect this area by setting trail cams and trail markers with the team in 2023... And also helping out with petitions and letter writing campaigns over the years! Thank you Valhalla Wilderness Society and Damien Gillis for bringing awareness to the cause 🍄🌈❤️

Working on some hides with Backwoods Bushcraft. It feels good to be connected to the spirit of deer in this way and see the labor of love that goes into making buckskin. Pictured here are the first steps of fleshing and soaking the hides in lime, before the process of dehairing, tanning, softening and smoking 🦌 🛖 🔥 Stay tuned for the next steps!

Shoutout to all the other amazing beings who came out for Equinox Journey - Mother Tree - Duncan West Ancient Grove!

"My experience with Fox was purely magical. During our time together in the Old Growth, I felt a deep connection with Self and with Nature.

Fox's space holding feels like being loved and celebrated while being encouraged to explore your personal edges! After working with Fox I feel more grounded in myself and more centered and clear in what my right place is in this world.

The weaving that Fox provides between the outer landscape and the inner landscape is profound. And yet the experience as a whole feels playful, gentle, and flows with a natural ease.

Working with Fox is for you if you want more play and nature connection, AND an experiential way to ground into your connection with Self and better know and feel your place in the world!"

Lim limpt... Thank you to the Valhalla Foundation for Ecology and their collaboration with the Autonomous Sinixt to restore the headwaters of Slocan Lake. This is a beautiful example of how we can, as settlers, bring truth and reconciliation to the land and the first people of this land 🌊🌈❤️

Six years in the making, featuring a cast of thousands (okay, not quite)... and... lights, camera, action! I didn't actually get to say that last one (darn) because we've been making a documentary film and not a scripted drama... nonetheless I've learned a huge amount about the art and craft of film...
