My experience…. (this lifetime!)
I have spent many formal weeks in silent meditation, and meditation is part of my daily spiritual practice. This sitting in silence, in quiet, in communion with what is here now is the foundation of my work and practice.
I am also a Certified Facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie.

annnndd… sort of unclassifiable, but cool & notable….
Went to undergrad at UAF in the solitude and indescribable stillness and silence of Fairbanks, AK. Probably got my first infusion of stillness up there, but didn’t understand it yet.
Had a solid mental breakdown at 20, spent 3 months in my parent’s bed, unable to walk outside for fear of death. (Don’t trust a guide that hasn’t gone through this at least once yet.)
Worked all over the place on farms as a young woman, started a organic CSA (community Supported Agriculture) when 21 years old, started another big beautiful farm, Sweet Land Farm CSA as a young married mother. All told, worked for 18 years in organic vegetable farming. Loved it.
About 8 years ago had the egoic Mickey knocked out of me by a series of major fireworks kundalini awakenings with zero spiritual knowledge or training. Breathed a ragged sigh of relief when I started reading Adyashanti. Spiritual Journey……..Engage!
I’m the mother of 2 children (Now more like a tween and a young lady!)
“Evangeline coaxes me to get close to that black hole, to feel it or to find within me the language that will reveal it more, never less.”

Investing in inner work is not selfish, it is not unfounded, it is not frivolous.
It is a gift to the world.
The work you do here, now, will ripple out through your ancestors, your children, and your children’s children. This is True, without exception.
“For the first time in my life I SEE that this atomic bomb of fear in my body is here to protect and love me. I always thought it was the enemy. But no, it loves me with more loyalty than any woman I’ve ever been with.”

"Evangeline has an amazing state of grace. In her kind presence, I feel myself willing to feel all there is to feel, to look at those places within me that I am afraid of, and to connect with myself."
~Los Angeles
All of the inner work we do, we do it for ourselves, we do it for all beings, everywhere, throughout all time and space without exception.
I have been on a healing journey (consciously) for about 8 year. I can travel to the frightening, shameful, and tender places with you because I have got to them in myself. I haven’t just looked at the map and read the Trip Advisor reviews - I’ve been there, often with just my boots and backpack, and at times without even my wallet or phone. And if I haven’t been there, I’m upfront and honest about where I can journey with you.
Yes, there are place we all will go alone, but there are many place that we can go together. Let me go there with you. It’s good to have company.
“You have helped me in so many ways!!! You have given me the courage to believe in my dreams and desires that once felt impossible. Not only that, but working with you has given me more confidence to act on my intuition instead of listening to feat. That has been quiet transformational! I feel that you create a safe, non biased and inspired space for me to go from working on manifesting to the inner child. ”
