hi, my name is nik
i am a virgo sun, scorpio rising & cancer moon
my gender is “cosmic af”
i am a writer, community organizer & embodiment guide
and i move through the world as an oracle who also has autism
my worldview is rooted in relationship
and my gifts are most potent on the edge of new discovery. a deep desire for connection propels the movement of my life. i am most at home with questions & i believe transformation occurs when we are presented with insightful, intentional & honest invitations to our own knowingness
my curiosity is a form of creative world building
“the open space” was born from a recognition that we can grow the environments we always needed but never had
when we meet together, i don’t want to offer you answers because i don’t think you are a problem to be solved. but i do want to be human alongside you. i want to hold you with honest tenderness & reflect your truth back to you as a reminder that it’s safe to be seen in the messy places too
i hold a master’s of social work in community organizing from temple university.
i’ve been organizing in communities (large, small, in-person, virtual) for the past two decades from the east coast in philadelphia to the west coast in los angeles. i currently reside in indianapolis where my greatest organizing mentors are the mushrooms, snails & trees
i am an embodiment guide.
i have certifications & training (including therapeutic yoga & movement for trauma) but my most influential teaching has come from being in relationship with my own body, other bodies & The Land
i am an oracle.
my gifts of insight have been unfolding for me since i was a child. my approach to sharing spiritual insight is rooted in my personal relationship with Spirit & the interdependent web of life. i view tarot as a liberation practice & an act of community care
the open space is emerging as a collection of many pieces of my heart & soul. desires & passions & gifts that have evolved & progressed through the seasons of my life. i am eager to share
i credit Spirit, Octavia Butler, The Land & Black, brown & Indigenous queer disability justice organizers – such as adrienne maree brown & Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha – with informing the worldview that i exist inside of & guide from
catch yall in the open spaces …
