what’s turtle power? 🐢✨
a brooklyn/beach-based folk art therapy practice in spiritual nonsense, mind-altering substance, & the alchemical reactions that happen when we combine music, making, memories, & movement
turtle power reminds us that slowing down to float around is a wonderful way to notice life’s natural beauty
it’s part magic, part madness, part woo, part hoo…& fully dedicated to my kooky grandmas and yours
who’s behind the curtain?
👋 a recovering square turned poet~bruja who studies how to surrender and stay fluid
my story’s a universal one: disenchantment with the powers-that-be led me to remember the enchanting power of just being
the surreal, artistic work I find myself drawn to is an exploration of intuition & transition, an ongoing experiment about how we might move through change with more grace
