Community Talk: Awakening from the Trauma of Conditional Love, Part 1 with Saraswati Pottekkatt


About me

I am training to be a Board Certified Buddhist Chaplain and am trained in multiple trauma-informed somatic modalities, including Somatic Experiencing®. My personal, spiritual goal is complete spiritual liberation while being in solidarity with all who work toward decolonization. I am deeply attuned to my connection with the earth, the source of all my spiritual energy. Ritual, arts, myths, storytelling, and folklore are central to my personal and relational practice.

I love working with

people seeking support and companionship as they explore the mystery and wonder of their true selves and the natural world. I am called to support people in metabolizing their life and generational experiences and discovering the forms of liberation that feel right for each person. I also enjoy nurturing small, close-knit communities where each member feels supported in their chosen work and can witness the beauty in one another.
