Hi, I'm Dakota.
I've been walking this path since 1992, teaching, journeying, and making the kind of medicine that meets you exactly where you are. Sound journeys, ritual work, and a wheel with room for every direction you're standing in right now.

Find Your Energy.
Take Home a Free Journey.
Today's gift: Buried Light, a $22 journey, yours free.
There's a hum beneath ordinary life. You've felt it, that pull from somewhere you can't quite name.
A short quiz shows you exactly where you're standing on the wheel right now. Then Buried Light, the first crossing of the Soul Quest series, is yours to keep.

She's the old one, the winter hag who carries the year in her two hands and knows exactly when to let it go. You'll meet her at whatever threshold you're already standing at. She won't ask you to explain it.
The Wheel turns through 4 seasonal arcs. Each one holds its own weather, its own kind of dark, its own return. You don't have to walk the whole year to begin, join for a single arc, or walk the full turning, whichever door is open to you right now.
This is the deepest work I teach. Ritual. Sisterhood. The slow work of coming back to yourself, one season at a time.
New in the Vault
Fresh from the fire, ready when you are.
What this work sounds like
I love your energy, I have not been on insight timer for a long time and today you popped up on my youtube channel I was so excited. Still to listen I want to savour when I am not tired, but the introduction music was exquisite, it was alive. So thankyou for sharing ❤️ ...I have followed you for a long time too, having had a personal session six years ago with you 😊
Dear Dakota, Thank you for putting this learning and meditation on this platform. I am most of the time at IT, last Thursday I felt asleep and woke up at the end. I love the medicine wheel and your teachings about spirit and nature, and I thought damn i missed all this. So therefore this is a unexpected gift.
Wow!! That is the peace I am talking about! That was fire!
