I’m Meg. Keeper of this house of Sovereign Imagination.

I was forged in crisis so I could be a finely tuned guide in these exact dynamic times.

Daughter of a Mi’kmaq non-binary mother whose hardship defined every aspect of their life, and a Colombian immigrant Father whose life was also steeped in crisis, and it was crisis that killed him.

Poverty. Sexual Abuse. Housing and food insecurity. Scars. Witnessing addiction and even witnessing prostitution — I grew up fast.

What got me through? Imagination.

Not wishful thinking. Not fantasy (though, wow is my imagination vivid! ) PLAYFUL imagination.

When I witnessed something that met a need I had, I BECAME it.

When I needed warrior, I would watch a Samurai film and watch how they moved, how they carried themselves, what would bring them to fight and when they walked away — and then I would somatically play with that.

When I needed to see love where I had only known loneliness, I would go for wander and look for it in both humans and more-than-human kin — and when it was found, I would allow my witness of it seep in and be received. This happened COUNTLESS times, and truly nourished me because I had decided that I would receive those moments as soul food.

Even now, I hire people who are embodied in frequencies that I know that I am here to stretch into. The most direct way for me to become what I am here to be is to DWELL in the presence of that which is that. This is a form of imagination: to be in the energy of recognition of something and see yourself in it enough to become it.

My journey has been a low and slow reclamation of giving myself the validation and love I was denied, defining my own identity rather than shape-shifting based on the needs of others, and trusting the potency of my own intuition rather than looking outside of myself for the answers. These are my specialties, because our most potent offerings come from the shadows we’ve alchemized.

  • The Stance

    What has been gathered from being directly in the field in community service and practice.

  • The stance is Matriarchal

    This is, for me, not about “the future is female.”

    This is about stewardship of resources, community that KNOWS HOW TO BE community, collaborative “power with” egalitarianism that is in true service to those gathered.

    This is about spiritual response-ability for our own growth, and not outsourcing to spiritual authority outside of ourselves. Seated in ourselves. No intercessor needed.

    This is about eco-cosmology, and attuning ourselves to a more generous and nuanced reality that honors the subtle, often feminine labors.

  • The stance is Playful Imagination

    As we decolonize where our visions with expectancy have been overwritten with very predictable and stagnant scripts of control, we begin to crave the real SO HARD — and much of the world won’t be able to meet us there. Yet.

    It is so important for us to access imagery, archetype, community, something bigger than us to practice and affirm the EXPANSION once it lands, and play is the most powerful tool we have for re-wiring our nervous systems that more generous reality.

    Play does not pre-determine outcomes.

    Play does not put limits on what is possible.

    Play allows us to experience identity bigger than what is often expected of us to perform.

    And all of this makes play is DANGEROUS to business as usual.

    If we truly desire a world not encoded in so much crisis, it’s time to re-member how to play and imagine something new.

  • The stance is Decolonial

    To get to Sovereign Imagination, we need to compost the toxic narratives that keep us separate from ourselves, each other, Earth, Ancestors and More-Than-Human kin.

    “Human’s are garbage.” “There’s no hope.” “Earth should just wipe us out.”

    There are all colonial scripts.

    Anything that is telling you how to think or feel or that the outcome is pre-determined (particularly if that outcome is apocalyptic doom) is seeking control.

    People who are small and tired are more easy to control, and nothing is more exhausting or belittling than a hopeless, doomed world.

    In this house we do more than reject the stance of the current western context, we transmute and transform -- and include lost and forgotten wisdom and technologies as we walk beside each other into the future.

  • The stance is Emergent

    We come together here to cultivate keen awareness of our interior lives so that we bring our unique gifts and voice to the world as it’s in an emergent unfolding.

    This requires all participants to be willing to be curious, experimental and responsive to what becomes evident through process and encounter. Rather than having “the answer,” we practice consciously cultivating trust in our ability to respond (responsibly) with who or what is before us, including that which is more-than-human.

    We simply don’t know where we are going — and though that can be tender at times, there’s a lot of room for possibility. We aim to actively engage in, and be of service to the unfolding of the beautiful world we know is possible.

  • The stance is Inter-relational

    Our magic is ancestral magic, including More-Than-Human ancestors, Earth, Stars — even archetypal beings and energies.

    Human lineage is woven into a larger tapestry, a bigger story than right now.

    Magic is made through relationship. We consciously cultivate brilliant, nuanced, keen relationships with All-That-Is as acknowledgement of lineage and context, so that our personal power. gifts and dreaming can be of service to the greater good.

  • The stance is Consensual

    It’s imperative that we re-member how to walk with utmost care of others, their wisdom, their timing, their magic, their wellness in all ways.

    This has to include our more-than-human kin.

    We are peers walking beside each other.

    We practice ALWAYS asking before offering suggestions, advice, reflections, and stories of experience -- and await explicit and earnest consent.

    We strive to not just take from the circle, but to give to it as well.

    It’s a great honor to steward the inner life beside another, and we practice this with great care.

  • The stance is Conscious Impact

    We create explicit agreements within each space within my practice that support all participants in knowing how to honor the space and each other. An important aspect of the work of true community is cultivating resiliency and presence in both calling others in, and being called in, in challenge and in celebration, with willingness to have ears to hear the heart of what’s being reflected about our impact.

  • The stance is Sacred

    The conversations in my practice are not casual, “coffee shop” conversations.

    We’re not here to skate on the surface. We’re here to get into the waters underneath the waters.

    That means that when you speak a bold truth, we’re gonna take a breath with that, and not let it dissipate into the void. It’ll be activating sometimes, particularly if you’re set on telling the story in every gory detail.

    The thing that makes it sacred is not incense and robes. It’s sacred because we’re really there. And that can be deeply confronting, and definitely takes some getting used to. We pause a lot. We breath. We wriggle like little worms. We moan. We respond when something’s real and here.

What backs it up?

I’ve been in practice for over 20 years, and that has changed forms a lot!

From Contemplative Art Approach classes and voice lessons, to facilitating 100’s of circles of humans shoulder to shoulder talking about everything that matters most, to potent retreats — and now even a school — my work has been a lifetime of response to what was needed most from me in each season.

I’ve learned the best and the most experientially through sitting with elders and learning from them — and rebelling and giving up on them and the path a couple times, haha! I’ve walked closely with a couple mentors, and have watched very closely how they hold the hard stuff: conflict, ego, unconscious material. And, I’ve watched how they shared their brilliance and exceptional gifts. Proximity over theory every time. I want to be in the field of folks who walk their talk — because I am here to be present in the here and now.

This walk has shown me that the only distinction between me and anyone who walks beside me is that my life is filtered through this lens of Self Mastery As Service To The Whole Organism and Lineage Liberation with annoying loyalty. Other folks are full-time focused on other things, and we go to them for that. You come to me when you’re ready to imagine something new and act accordingly, which is to me the most FUN part of self mastery. You would also come to me when you’re ready to lighten the load of ancestral pain, abduction and abuse so many of us have carried — and it’s that load that has affirmed the systems we’ve been governed by that are presently breaking down.

It’s completely uncomfortable to be in the breakdown— and, it’s the adventure before us: to be open to more generous possibilities and make them real through our origination.

Let’s become unrecognizable to habituated crisis— and fully recognizable to the world we actually want.

My years of holding others hearts has prepared me to meet these times with emergent strategy, creativity. intuition and HOPE.
