About Seyta

An avid lifelong dreamer, my first memory is a dream from infancy in which an alligator bit my thumb off - posing a few different quandaries about Self, memory, and the nature of reality.

I am a bridge-maker, committed to grounding and normalizing extraordinary perceptual experiences as part of our natural human intelligence. Practicing dreaming and mind metaphysics as my primary focus for over 25 years, I have kept a dream journal and notes throughout my explorations. I actively cherish, constantly revisit, and unerringly follow the wisdom of my sleeping dreams, waking dreams, and intuition as they continue to reveal my unfolding life in its most brilliant and surprising nature.

Based on the trial and error of my obsessive personal research, I’ve gained unique expertise in living well from the whole self. Inner Lands is the best way I can describe my working terrain, in service of promoting an animistic and full-spectrum human experience and sharing my knowledge to support others in accessing their full human gifts.

I’ve earned specialized training and experience teaching many inner and perceptive arts, including a Masters degree in East-West Psychology, certification as an Ancestral Healing Practitioner and Teacher through Ancestral Medicine, and certification in the Human Design system as a guide, through the International School of Human Design.

It hasn’t been an ordinary career path. I have wound my way through a variety of applications of my talents, from my interests in consciousness and education to the creative arts of business. Stepping stones on my garden path include:

  • Maintaining a private practice in ancestral healing and dream work, and holding group ceremony in these areas.

  • Heading business operations for online and in-person education at Ancestral Medicine.

  • Co-founding the Non-Ordinary Reality Database (NORD), a citizen science project for sharing, analyzing, and collectively taking a look at dreams and dream-like experiences reported on the internet (currently in ongoing re-development).

  • Founding and running a classic sartorial house in Portland, OR (Duchess Clothier) focusing on individual authentic expression.

  • Creative film industry roles in costume design, wardrobe, production, and management.

  • Teaching and guiding in the Human Design arena at The Projector Movement and in private practice.

  • Local historical research and writing.

Current occupations include ancestral research, writing, civic engagement, knitting, and my yarn-dyeing obsession.

Broadly, I enjoy enriching and loving relationships with the totality of my being, and specifically with my ancestors who spring from the Jewish diaspora as well as Celtic, Norse, and Germanic lands. I live gratefully within the all-encompassing body of the earth, fjord-side on Skokomish Twana lands in Washington State.
