Tess is here to live her life as an ongoing conversation, carved by questions, devotion, and possibility. She moves towards cultivating spaces where we feel resourced enough to be in the bowl of our truth and curious enough to deepen our innate intimacy with the alive world that is all around us. She is here to pillar places that stretch one's capacity, allowing us to deepen into this living paradox, that invites us to turn towards staying fully awake through the tides of our inner and outer terrain.
Tess seeks to live in a way that allows her to walk in courage(especially by making mistakes) and dares to imagine the unspeakable. She is steered by awe and wonder and believes in the encapsulating echo that enchantment sings out. With audacious passion and a keen awareness of herself and others, she trusts what happens in the slow. Like the bees and pollinators, one of her dearest muses and teachers, she is here to cross pollinate and forge through the multitudes of lenses she works in.
Tess has spent much of her life, teaching at alternative and diverse nature based schools, guiding wilderness therapy trips, farming, leading girls' and women's gatherings, supporting spaces of death-doula, hospice, grief work, and holding spaces where art and movement intertwine. She is currently apprenticing with a beekeeper and finding herself immersed in learning Spanish as she continues international travels. Much of her time is spent tending to her garden, farming, writing, dancing, fishing, in circle with community, and using her hands to craft with clay, wood, and beads
