I’m River Kenna
Writer, Waytender, & Friend
I help people craft their attention towards more “right hemisphere” ways of being — this means more embodiment, presence, attunement, and openness to unconscious wisdom. Really, it means a more soulful, poetic, & magical life.
It means less ego, fewer thought loops, less clenching in body, mind, and heart.
It means disentangling from the finite games of status, power, and convenience — and stepping up to meet the infinite ambitions of soul, of aliveness, of metis.
