Animist Ministry
I became an ordained Animist Minister through the Web of Life Church, October 2022.
Whatever your philosophy or spiritual beliefs, I practice inclusion and find diversity in nature's healthiest environments. You can be whatever flower you want to be in the garden of life. The practice of Animism informs the way I work with plants, humans and the integrity for which I approach my own life.
Folks ask me what Animism is and these are some words to describe it.
An understanding that all things animate and inanimate possess a spirit or essence
Attribution of soul to animals plants,
& geographical places
Earth honoring
A belief in a supernatural power(s) that organizes and animates the material universe
"A process that encourages an individual to see themselves as equal in the web of life, as a contributor to a sustainable lifestyle" Web of Life Church

What is a good Death?
Conversation with an Animist Minister
This service is not presently being offered
An hour of conversation talking about the impermanence of life. I am certified as a death midwife through Earth Traditions and an ordained animist minister through The Web of Life Church. I am comfortable speaking about death impermanence and grief, while holding a welcome space for any person to explore their ideas and feelings. Death is not an age-related phenomenon many folks have concern(s) regarding their own death and the ways in which mortality/impermanence impacts us.
Our conversation can be once or ongoing. Payment is through donation.
This is not mental health counseling. This is a supportive conversation that can be safely held using video, phone or in-person.
