Welcome

On this site I seek to inspire a network of creative place-makers seeking to rebuild cities as urban gathering spaces that foster a sense of belonging in an ever changing dynamic world.

I am an Indigenous spiritual practitioner who believes that places are alive with spirit left by the footprints of our ancestors, and therefore we must understand and seek to reconcile past wounds in efforts to stimulate new  growth.

I bring this work forward into the world through storysharing: words from my imagination found on my blog “Alisa’s thoughts on beloved communities”, in books (here is my latest publication – Unearthing the Feminine ); community stories shared through the Callie Rose Literary Arts Association; and society stories shared by participants of the Florence Aliese Advancement Network.

This vocation is my contribution to tending the world’s soul and in doing so, seek to bring healing to the human family so that we end social diseases like racism, homelessness, fear of mental illness, gender violence, and environmental degradation. I truly believe the pathway forward is with a planetary consciousness where we believe and act as if we are all citizens of one planet and our survivorship depends on harmonious co-existence.
