I’m Desert Waters

Soul Guide.

Threshold companion.

Grief tender.

I am someone who is learning to listen to what the Earth is dreaming through us. When everyone else is looking toward the light, I'm looking the other way - into the dark, into what's ending, into the places where old stories are dying. I carry comfort with death and the capacity to be with endings as sacred doorways rather than tragedies.

As a death doula for the old stories, my particular gift is sensing when a life narrative has reached its natural ending and accompanying that dying process with tenderness rather than resistance. I offer tools and practices, deep listening, courage to enter frightening places, and the capacity to hold space for the mysterious emergence of what comes next.

I am an apprentice-guide with Animas Valley Institute, learning the maps that have guided my own threshold crossings. My work is guided by dreams of water: releasing what has been held back, making space beneath foundations for the waters that will transform everything.

I am a father to three children and live with my beloved partner, continuing to navigate the ongoing threshold between old ways of being and what wants to emerge. At heart, I am a storyteller and myth keeper, devoted to sensing the new stories that want to emerge through our collective threshold.

Reach out.

I’d love to hear from you.
