Facilitating wilderness solos with various other rituals and ceremonies for BIPOC folk by Queer BIPOC folk. We are looking at more of a communal model and we don't want to charge any money. We would like there to be a shared supplies list and some reciprocity for the time and energy put into this, but we don't want a capitalistic driven experience. We do plan on creating one for Queer folk as well at a later date. If you know of anyone that would be interested in attending please send them my way. Also, if any of yall are wanting to support in some way please let me know.

GATHERING OF QUEER & TRANS GUIDES
Hi there, I’m so glad we found each other! My name is Jett & among many identities I consider myself an Artist, Dancer, Liminal Walker, Shape-Shifter, Embodiment Activist, Sacred Clown & Maker of (play)lists. I’m also a white, afab, genderqueer, neuro-divergent, settler of european descent.
I don’t have any fancy letters behind my name, but I will tell you this: I have LOADS of life experience and I’ve never been one to settle for the 9-5 capitalistic system. All I do & pursue is out of love for it & believing I’ve got a knack for it & a desire to continue to learn & share with others. Those lived experiences, some learned the hard way, have made me who I am. And those gifts, imo, are to be shared.
It’s a hustle for sure. Piecing projects together to make an income to live sustainably, with pleasure (amen) & time for nurturing naps (so needed) & fun adventures (so so needed) amidst these wild (so f*ckn scary) times we are in.
I’ve made it my mission to put my gifts & offerings out into the world in a, a-hem, clearly articulated menu below (work in progress).
Thanks for checking it out & please be in touch if you have any questions!
~Jett
Are you thinking?….How did Jett come up with such an array of offerings and credibility & belief that they can support me?
I went on an archeological dig looking through my history of projects, collaborations, jobs, trainings, things I love to do, asking trusted friends +++ and found the common threads that run deep and consistently. You can view my current CV here that inform what I offer.
look into my eyes…
And if a picture is worth a thousand words….here are a few of me in my element. With hopes of conveying my focus, my attention to detail, thoughtfulness, playfulness, integrity & dedication to building trust & living authentically in service.
our WAY WITH MONEY
In a patriarchal, capitalistic system based on production & devaluing what I treasure, I am in a ongoing (un)learning. I’m totally down to get creative & explore other ways that value our time, honor our gifts & be in the spirit of moving towards reparations & settler responsibility. Here you will find some voices that I resonate with, and with that, find ways to be in a mutual beneficial exchange with me.
WHAT'S IT WORTH?
TO START AGREEMENTS will cover minimum expenses to include funding for travel (gas to drive or airfare), accommodations (happy to couchsurf and cook meals with you) + COST TO PARTICIPANTS: sliding-scale // donation for services offered in your community - NO ONE IS TURNED AWAY FOR LACK OF FUNDS (NOTAFLOF). HAPPY TO HAVE A CONVERSATION THAT VALUES BOTH OUR TIME & RESOURCES.
Working with Money Across Difference from the ECC
There are many differences within our collective, as well as among the organizations we serve. We consciously look at means and circumstances to find exchanges that are equitable to all.
We recognize that some cultures, lineages, individuals and practitioners do not believe in receiving money in exchange for ceremony or sacred teachings. We honor and respect that way.
While we uplift practices moving toward a ‘gift economy,’ we also need to be able to operate within multiple cultural paradigms. We choose to use a sliding scale to be accessible for clients and practitioners, while also acknowledging that resources flow in many ways.
We center reparations. (See our beliefs in the Who We Are Section)
We understand that not all will agree with our way with money and welcome dialogue and exchange in different ways.
We strive to host an interdependent system of mutual support and solidarity, recognizing that the inequities that exist between us are barriers to achieving our collective vision as a network, and we seek to address these barriers practically as well as socially and spiritually.
WHY I CROWDSOURCE THIS WORK?
Since the Spring of 2016 I have proven to myself that I can travel and explore new places & other countries, finding places to stay & food in exchange for work, with little to no currency exchange. I have intentionally remained off a payroll to step into the possibility of incorporating freedom of movement, collaboration & uplifting of more than one organization and voice, and belief in providing for myself through multiple streams & ideas of currency, wealth & value.
AND CHALLENGE CAPITALISTIC & PATRIARCHAL THOUGHTS OF WORK AND HOW WE CAN DREAM INTO A DIFFERENT WAY...

Coach Porque No It’s become a bit of a running reply for me (& eye roller for others) in response to others asking me about doing or trying something. NOW we are leveling UP & Coach Porque No is a living mantra and persona I can take on when those are in need of a bit of tough love, nudge or guidance to follow their gut. I say thinks like, “You got this boo!” & “GET IT.” + LOVE sending you playlists. Bring me your dreams #porqueno
Age Gap Queer Relationships I’m in one & learning SOOOOO much. lets chat, lets create a group of support for one another and most importantly, lets have FUN.
I Lost A Sibling Too (I.L.A.S.T) 18 years ago (age 32) I lost my only sibling in a tragic car accident. I’ve learned A LOT & continue to grieve. Survivors guilt is REAL, your life changed forever, real too. Grief & loss in the currents we live in right now are HARD. How to honor, move thru and come out the other side with a desire to live life is a path I’m on for the rest of my days. For 1:1, family & group spaces. #ILast
Phone a friend (working title) I have found consistently I am being referred by a friend to one of their friends to support with assistance with their young ones. I am honored & I would love to do this more. Support with finding services that best suit the family & a listening ear in how to support their young one questioning gender & sexuality.

BEDROOM DJ (yea, I said it.)
Urban Dictionary: A person who owns DJing equipment (ie. turntables, mixer, CDJ, etc.) and has a passion for music, but doesn’t play out to crowds at bars or special events (ie. raves). Instead, they opt to play their music at home for their friends.
Winter 2022 I enrolled into the Dance the Medicine Intro to Ecstatic Dance DJ School. Learn more about Bernice & DTM. And learn about my story and hear my first recorded track (eek) on the Movement page.
And now that I have invested in time & equipment I have a vision to fulfill in creating queer dance & movement spaces in collaboration with others - where are the other queer djs?! I also dream to share this empowering craft and artistry with young people who desire to explore this practice.
