About Louise
I did not come to this work through strategy., I came to it through longing, through rupture and through my body’s refusal to keep living as though modern life were enough.
What I offer now has been shaped not by one training or lineage, but by years of walking the long road of remembering, through grief, through myth, through land, through death work, through deer hide and drum skin, through hunting, through ritual, through the body’s own fierce intelligence.
My work was born from a deep and unrelenting knowing that something essential had been lost in the modern world. That many of us have inherited lives profoundly severed from instinct, from land, from rite of passage, from death, from eros, from ancestral ways of making meaning. And that we are starving not because we lack information, but because we have forgotten how to belong.
Everything I create emerges from that understanding.
My Path
For many years I sought the sacred in the places modern spirituality told me to look. While much of that path gave me language, tools, and important thresholds of becoming, there came a point when borrowed frameworks and inherited spiritual aesthetics no longer felt sufficient.
The deeper I went, the clearer it became that what I was seeking was not transcendence.
It was relationship.
This understanding deepened through years of animist apprenticeship, ritual practice, mythic study, grief work, death tending, and embodied inquiry, but perhaps most profoundly through direct encounter with the living world itself.
Through sitting with the land long enough that it began to speak. Through learning to work with deer hide and bone. Through hunting, and the profound spiritual reckoning of stepping consciously into the predator-prey covenant and through kneeling beside death and feeling the illusion of separation fall away.
Again and again, life returned me to the same truth:
That the body is not separate from the sacred.
That instinct is not something to transcend, but something to listen to.
That myth is not metaphor alone, but ancestral instruction.
That the old ways of relating to a living world still exist—if we are willing to remember how to listen.
My Work
My work now lives at the intersection of animism, embodiment, myth, ritual, grief tending, death work, craft, and the reclamation of the ancient animal body.
Through retreats, workshops, mentorship, drum birthing, and threshold work, I guide people into deeper relationship with:
their body as animal
instinct as intelligence
grief as initiator
eros as life-force
myth as ancestral map
land as living teacher
death as sacred threshold
I do not offer quick transformation or spiritual performance. I offer spaces of deep remembering, work that asks something of you.
Work that invites devotion, honesty, humility, and relationship, work that seeks not to elevate you above your humanity, but to root you more fully within it.
Why People Come To This Work
People often arrive here because something in them knows there must be more. More than performance, self-improvement.
More than spiritual language that never quite reaches the bone.
They come because they feel the ache of disconnection. Because they long for a spirituality that is embodied, rooted, land-based, and honest.
Because they are tired of floating above their lives and are ready to descend into them.
If that is you, You are welcome here.
