More about Maggie
Maggie is wild about rewilding life
Maybe like you, I had awoke on too many fine days feeling like something was missing from my life, a taste of a dream left on my palette, an important hair was out of place. This feeling was raw. Sometimes a whisper and sometimes a roar, it beckoned for my attention.
This is where you and I meet, at this juncture of the time/space continuum, to be together with what is. For you to feel supported and your strengths reflected again and again. This is my intention for The Sacred Hearth.
Below are some of the genres of my past/current experiences and offerings, as well as my education and some big things in my life that have made me who I am. Things that have rocked me to the core and through darkness helped me see the brightness and joys of life.
When I am not in a ritual space, I love to spend time with my partner, friends, or neighbors in my cohousing community. Nature and wild animals are so nourishing to my spirit. I love doing things I've never done before, visiting placing I've never been to, and tasting life I've never tasted.
I am a queer, white person. I live on unceded Bay Miwok and Ohlone land in the Greater Bay Area, Northern California and pay Shuumi Land Tax to the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust to support indigenous sovereignty.

Washing it all out in a ritual bath :)
My intention/prayer/spell for us:
May stardust eep from our eyes as we stand in our knowledge, weaving ourselves back into belonging, trusting our inner stirrings. May we answer the call to love our shadows, dance with our jackals, and see ourselves as powerful generators of energy and bold creators of new worlds. We are expansive and multi-dimensional beyond our current forms. We are meant to bite into the succulence of life.
May we all know this to be true and see it manifest in our lives. Blessed Be!
As Always: Playing in the shadows, eating light
“I had the privilege of being coached by Maggie during a recent coach training session with CTI. I was an Assistant on the training team and I am an experienced coach and educator. It is not an exaggeration to say I was blown away by Maggie’s coaching skills. She is able to hold space for her client’s exploration and emotion while also asking powerful questions that provoke transformational insights. I have been coached by some very powerful and effective coaches and Maggie now counts among those coaching giants for me. “
