About Me

Hi! I'm Rev. Mel (they/she). I am an ordained minister deeply rooted in my connection with land, community, and my ancestors. My ministry is guided by my commitment to collective liberation, an understanding that everything is interconnected, and my belief that deepening relationships of reciprocity encourage community and individual flourishing. I find joy in creative visioning and living our futures in being. The future I'm living is one of decolonization, of reciprocity and abundance. A collective future where "all flourishing is mutual" (Robin Wall Kimmerer, "The Serviceberry"). 

I find myself and find myself most in nature, in the water, at the pottery wheel, and gathered around the table with friends.
