About
I am Dawn Dancing Otter, an educator, ceremonialist, writer, dancer, doctoral scholar, mentor of Irish rites, griefwork, and pathways of belonging as a diasporic Irish descendant. I support people who are ready to explore rites of passage, somatic griefwork, and sociospiritual alchemy with depth and integrity. My approach is evidence-based, culturally grounded, and shaped by research, lived experience, oral tradition, and a deep relationship to the Earth.
