Ember Phoenix is a Black/Indigenous 2 Spirit Queer Human. Pronouns are She/Her/they/them.  

 

You will tend to find me in my community building deep intentional relationships, digging in dirt or harvesting on our community farm, loving on my child, sitting on my porch having all the conversations, getting lost in the woods with the fairies, frolicking in the sacred waters and rivers, or in deep reverence in the mountains talking to my ancestors. 

 

I am a creative star soul with a passion for healing, transformative and restorative social justice,  herbalism, land Stewardship and visioning the new world we are creating as the systems we currently are surviving in are being destroyed. 

 

I believe in the power of community and its ability to sustain and hold space for the healing and growth necessary to foster networks that allow us all to thrive together as we build foundations of community accountability and care that actually center collective interdependence and acknowledge the kinship systems of our ancestors and the value they offer us.  

 

I am a passionate star being who sees the galaxies of magical possibility that lives within us all. I am deeply woven into the web of spirit and honor our ancestors with every breath I take (or forget to take at times).  The experiences I have walked and lessons I have learned this cycle of being a student of earthschool have created a human who fights fiercely for equity and justice and a person who never moves away from difficult conversations and constantly is reminding folks to drink water and find joy...

 

I am one who is determined to create a world that is safer, kinder and freer for not just the generations to come but those of us who reside earthside now. I am rooted in my commitment to heal and thrive, and I understand that in order to get free we must do so together.
