From childhood, I would lie on the rooftop gazing at the stars, wondering what lies beyond this world and this experience. That curiosity did not take me to space, but it led me inward – to ask who we really are beyond what the eyes see and the hands touch.

For many years I explored different healing paths. In 2010 I began studying indigenous traditions, first Hawaiian and Native American practices, and later discovered the Sagh’ic Tradition. Its ceremonies, rituals, and understanding of the deep interconnectedness between all things touched me deeply. While walking this path under my teacher, John-Luke Edwards – the First Elder – it felt less like learning something new and more like remembering what my soul already knew, as if I had practised these ways in many past lives.

After nearly four years of training, ceremonies, and vision quests, I have been honoured with the title of Lámh Dhorcha, Dark Hand, which means I am entrusted to carry forward the work of the First Elder.

With gratitude and humility, I simply wish to serve. My only aim is to help reduce suffering – one person at a time – and to help us remember that everything is connected through One Great Song. When we heal ourselves, we also heal the Earth around us, because no true healing happens in isolation.

I am Kyay’arn’yu ur-un lyun’na kual, Warrior Priest, still a student on this path, and I offer whatever little I have learned with an open and humble heart.
