sila

Salam,

​

I am a life-long seeker and astrologer.​

​

My practice is informed by years of experience with one-on-one client work, holding ceremony, mentorship from elders, as well as a lifetime study of the cosmos and mysticism. I am learning every day. I have a particular passion for interfaith studies and practices, and hope to continue creating spaces for people to explore their faith - with safety, love, and acceptance. 

​

I experienced a physical trauma at 19 years old that cracked my world wide open, and forced me to walk in a different direction. As the Sufis say, "God breaks your heart until it stays open." I have felt that to be true for me, and I couldn't be more thankful for it. 

At 21 I was able to explore the world of Sufism through my teacher, Banafsheh Sayyad. She passed on the art of whirling and chanting, which has influenced so much of my personal practice. Omid Safi has also been a very important teacher to me, as well as countless mystics and poets. 

I also have to thank my aunt, who was my first astrology teacher, and Adam Elenbaas of nightlight astrology, who gave me the foundation to learn traditional astrology. 

​

My cup overflows with gratitude.
