J. Russell

Through my upbringing I was lead to spiritual practice with Mormons, Southern Baptists, Catholics, and Christians. I kept what little felt authentic to me and set aside the rest.

My work, both professional and personal, has informed what I offer as a Minister. I am a public speaker and educator in the fields of DE&I, polyamory, non-traditional families, BDSM & kink, class awareness, mutual aid, wilderness engagement, and disability. I have also been a sexological bodyworker and LMT, providing for the underserved and intimately abandoned. I believe our sexual and primal selves must play a role in holistic spiritual engagement, as must our laughter. My ministry includes no charge support and integration groups, counseling on a sliding scale for those in need, volunteer group trash pickup, and environmental work in state and county parks.

My spiritual practice now incorporates my study as an Ovate level student of OBOD, thus a Druidic focus on nature, Animism as a commitment to all beings, trauma healing, and enabling our human potential. My divine path is constructed with Post Traumatic Wisdom, community building, humor, social vulnerability, mutual aid and therapeutic entheogen connection.
