INSTRUCTORS MOON

  Sandy is an art educator from Western Europe who grew up in a family of traditional crafts folk. For the last two decades, she has facilitated and held art classes and workshops on the ancestral land of the Acjachemen tribe in Orange County, California. She teaches art and Indigenous gardening at an inclusive public charter school with disabled learners and in her wildly cultivated backyard studio. She also holds nature exploration art camps during summer along SoCal’s sagebrush-lined ocean bluffs. Grateful for having been mentored by Mona Lewis and many primitive skills teachers, and for graduating from the School of the Sacred Wild, Sandy offers a space where making art comes from a deeply reverential and loving place towards Earth and all her abundant beauty.

My exploration of cordage began with learning to twist wild harvested plants with Tamara Wilder. Curious, I applied the process to the abundance of materials in my studio and life. I had held onto my great grandmother’s threadbare handkerchief for decades- precious but altogether unusable. As cordage it became a strong, loving reminder of her- a necklace that I could wear and a process that I could share. For the past ten years I have been teaching folks how to turn the fabrics that they hold dear into cordage necklaces- honoring the people and experiences of our lives. Cordage has become the foundation of my artistic practice. It continually draws me back in. There are people with great skill and generosity who have kept these skills alive...

I am the co-owner of Clay Sand Soul, a natural building business based in the Columbia River Gorge. My partner, Josh Burg, and I are committed to teaching others about the power and possibilities of Clay as a building material, as well as other locally abundant materials like sand, straw, stone, and wood. We work with cob, straw bale, clay and lime plasters & paints, clay sculptures, earthen floors, living roofs, and reciprocal roofs. We feel that building one’s own shelter is an innate human right that has been slowly brought into the field of specialists and created work sites devoid of community and cycles of reciprocity. Our vision and hope is to create community and foster social healing through the workshops and work sites...

Natural fiber artist and keeper of earth-based practices, Senya, belongs to the Oregon coast, born and raised within the convergence of coastal wetlands and dense coniferous forest. Believing that the regeneration and restoration of the land flows naturally from being intimately connected with place and rooted in community, she is passionate about connecting others with skills that allow for co-creation with one's local ecosystem. Through these skills, she facilitates pathways for people to develop deep, embodied connections to themselves, each other, and the living Earth, moving from extraction to reciprocity and from consumer to co-creator. Her main craft is wet feltmaking, a practice she traces back through her Armenian lineage, where the ancient tradition of working with wool and natural fibers has been passed down through...

Sienna (she/her) is a potter, cook, gardener, plant-lover, mystic, and all-around craftswoman. Raised in the Sacramento Valley on a family farm, she grew up crawling through the spring weeds, eating warm summer peaches, and working in the orchards and dehydrators during harvest time. She started her first garden around age 12, and began studying ceramics in 1999. After a stint in culinary school, she interned at a farm to learn organic gardening and sustainable living in 2003. She now has more than 30 years of experience in home gardening, and continues to sow seeds, tend kitchen gardens, and plant food forests in Northern California. Her holy trinity of gardening, cooking, and pottery are intertwined in a seasonally-based, locally-grown lifestyle which she hopes to share with those who...

Sierra Jamerson is a singer, therapeutic drum circle facilitator, and priestess of Hekate devoted to reclaiming ancestral traditions of women drumming and singing together. Her work centers rhythm and voice as ancient technologies for connection, regulation, remembrance, and collective healing. Rooted in her Afro-diasporic lineage (African American, Jamaican, and Guyanese) alongside her Celtic and Slavic ancestry, Sierra approaches drum and song as universal, multicultural practices carried across lands and peoples. She works with the drum as the heartbeat of the body and the mother line—earth, womb, rhythm—and with the voice as spellwork: sound shaped by breath, intention, and embodied presence. Her facilitation blends ritual, ancestral channeling, and trauma-informed group practice, drawing on somatic and nervous-system awareness to create containers that are both spiritually potent and emotionally safe....
