Bio
Deanna (they/them) is a Revolutionary Somatics Guide supporting folks to unlock bodymind sovereignty…and remain feral to the system.
They have a background in subversive dance, performance art & media and work at the crossroads of personal + relational + systemic sovereignty. Their counter-oppressive methodologies weave body & sense based exploratory movement & nervous system practices, Radical Dharma teachings, revolutionary astrology and systems change.
In addition to being a Somatic Guide, Deanna is also a plant parent, huge Star Trek nerd, retired performance artist, former sex worker, Aquarius Sun, Virgo Moon & Leo Rising. They identify as queer, nonbinary, a trauma survivor, in recovery and live with chronic illness. They're based in St. Louis with my partner and our two cats Ben & Jerry (foster fails), and can usually be found reading epic, queer faentasy in a nearby park. Deanna facilitates STL QUEER SANGHA a monthly, Radical Dharma & meditation group for all LGBTQIA+ folks and co-conspirators, and serve on the Advisory Circle at Empowered Spaces, a trauma-informed, holistic, healing collective.
Deanna is accredited to teach Insight meditation through The Awareness Training Institute and the Greater Good Science Center of the University of California at Berkeley, with guiding, internationally recognized Theravada Buddhist meditation teachers, authors & psychologists, Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. They've studied politicized somatics with Staci Haines of the Stozzi Institute, and receive mentorship guidance from Saraswati Pottekkatt who is in Buddhist chaplaincy, is a Certified NVC Trainer, has studied Somatic Abolitionism (Resmaa Menakam) & Somatic Extimacyⓒ (Dr Kesha Fikes), and leads systemically informed mindful relating & conflict groups.
