School of Mythopoetics Head, Facilitator, Cofounder
Storyteller, Writer, Ritual & Performing Artist

Kirsten Louise Webb is of Samí, French Canadian, Irish, Scottish, Scandinavian, and German ancestry, and lives amidst the lands and waters of the Salish Sea. A devotee of the mysteries of intuition, embodiment, and living as the Earth, she spent almost two decades traversing the underworlds of chronic illness, including a couple years living almost entirely outdoors.

Her writing, art, facilitation, and performance work focus on imagination, navigating uncertainty, body as Earth, cultivating the experience of collective as emergent organism, tending ancestral threads, weaving with and feeding the more-than-human realms, the power of story and ritual to illuminate and transform consciousness, and living into experimental and edgewalker ways of being to help evolve what’s possible amidst deep cultural and planetary shifting.

Astro-mythic Wanderer, Facilitator

Daniel is an astrologer, facilitator, professional mediator, artist, and embodied movement practitioner and teacher. His Irish and Italian roots anchor him with a fiercely devotional and rebellious spirit, as well as good taste, and a propensity for well-crafted dark beer.

He lives and works on the Traditional and Unceded territory of the Quw’utsun’ and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples in a place now known as Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. Daniel is devoted to offering his gifts in service to the re-emergence of village, the healing of the masculine, and the re-rooting of human beings as guardians of celestial and earthly time through embodied men’s work, astro-mythological guiding, and facilitating processes for personal and collective revolution.

After years of living and leading in intentional community projects, Daniel is now building his own home on a communal farm. Daniel holds a blue-belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and when not building, facilitating or grappling, can be found playing music, at the skatepark, or crafting illustrations.

Writer, Animist, Forest-Being, Mama Bear

Marie was trained as an archaeologist but now is recovering from academia as a writer, animist, historian, and lay-herbalist. Her ancestors hale from Wales, Cornwall, Cumbria, Northumbria, and Scotland and thus carries a life-long resentment of the Romans for their attempts to colonize her people and the destruction of their animistic beliefs.

After studying Bronze Age Aegean archaeoastronomy in graduate school, Marie transitioned into a career as an alternative currency and Transition Town advocate. This, in turn, led to her work as a consultant to authors, public speakers, and non-profits, helping them make the most of their online presence, coordinating projects and administrative structures, and planning events and retreats.

Marie also unschooled both of her children (now thriving teens and adults) and is passionate about alternative education and partnership parenting. Marie lives in the borough of Media, Pennsylvania, on the traditional and unceded territory of the Lenni-Lenape people. When not dancing at EDM festivals and making plant medicine, Marie is birthing her first series of speculative historical fiction based in the medieval North Atlantic.
