My name is Channing. My purpose in life is to walk the spiral path of self-discovery and spirituality.
A driving force in my experience is the understanding that the bravery to be myself and the vulnerability to share this with others influences the world in peaceful but powerful ways. My journey from my childhood religion of mormonism, to the old ways of wisdom - connection to earth, divine, body, and community - through the lens of ecofeminist theology is my current focus. I feel a call to share resources, my perspective, and create a container for others to question, explore, and deepen into presence and love.
