A memo from the heart:

As a multi-passionate, ethnically-mixed woman, I’m in pursuit of living in beauty and healing trauma. Creating Devoted Healing Arts is an act of devotion to offer the resources you deserve through life’s journeys.

The origin story of Devoted Healing Arts comes from a startling racist encounter I interfaced with a troubled man hiking the Appalachian mountains in 2016. This unforgettable experience was a catalyst to transform hatred directed towards me into sacred activism. I began to produce ceremonial events called “Devoted Ceremony” in Asheville, North Carolina, which promoted cultural unity and peace.

This resulted in artists from all over the world coming together for evenings of celebration and contemplating life through performance, multi-media art and ecstatic dance.

When we unite through the power of creative potential, it activates a fire in us all. This spark is the catalyst for cultural transformation, which restores faith in our shared humanity.

The word “DEVOTED” is a symbolic reminder of that truth.

Let’s inspire each other to live in a world that brings us more aliveness, togetherness, meaning and joy.

May you dance in beauty,
