‘I provide a healing container for people who have exhaused standard therapy. Through somatic co-regulation, breath, and guided inquiry I ease the nervous system out ‘of survival-driven, habitual states of stress and anchor it into the Grounded Adult Presence, a deep restorative presence and stillness. With this touchstone into emotional and somatic regulation we use the Grounded Adult Presence to safetly meet, process, and intgrate unresolved trauma.’
“I had a wonderful experience with Evangeline on a walk at The School for The Work. Just being with her in meditative silence was sufficient to move long-stagnant energy.”
~ ROCHESTER
“When I first reached out to Evangeline I was interested in practicing The Work of Byron Katie. Now, three years later, I can say that Evangeline has gone above and beyond the methods of The Work to help me go deep and access my true self. When we get into that space it seems all other noise melts away, the fog lifts and I can see more clearly. Thank you Evangeline for helping to open my eyes and heart :)”

“One thing I know is that I could not have made this decision without having done the work on my past. Thank you for facilitating that so gently and kindly.”

“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.”
~TORONTO
"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
“Evangeline’s combination of The Work with silence and heartfelt listening led me to very clear answers to my inquiry coming from deep places within me and the powerful surrounding energy and wisdom the workshop helped me to access. Her own vulnerability as she held and also relinquished space to others as needed was a beacon for all of us.”

Life Experience
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.
Ran Sweet Land Farm CSA for 2 years
25 acres of organic vegetables, cover crops, fruits, flowers, and a 3 acre u-pick section
5 full time employees
5 working tractors ( I did all the maintenance)
3 rental units in the big farm house with wonderful tenants
250-300 families coming to the farm once a week for 24 weeks in the summer
100 families coming to the farm 8 times in the winter.
Three 30×96 ft passive solar greenhouses
one 20×45 ft heated seeding greenhouse.
I managed every aspect of this operation and provided care for my children.
Dealt this systemic misogeny multiple times a day.
did all this with a 4 and 9 year old as a single mother without a romantic or business partner. Every buck stopped with me.
I challenge most any working white man to stack up against the above. And that’s just 2 years of my life.
About 14 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!
Made a complete career pivot at the age of 36 with 2 small children from organic farming to spiritual direction at Sacred Dive.
I’m now the single mother of 2 young adults.
I have a enormous garden and a property full of perrenials and beauty.
“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. ”
