"I speak from lived experience, as a biologist, frontline conservation activist, and founder of Shikibuntu. These are not lectures. They are honest, embodied conversations that leave people feeling something."
Cost
It's the Gift Economy baby!
I follow the Shikibuntu philosophy which operates on gift economy principles.
We discuss what your community can offer — money, trade, food, shelter, or simply the space to do the work.
Nothing withheld.
I don't offer a lesser version based on budget. The fire is the same regardless of what the exchange looks like.
Mutual reciprocity.
Ubuntu means we hold each other.
Topics I cover
Marine Protection
Sea Shepherd campaigns, vaquita marina defense, ocean advocacy and citizen science. Land & Ecosystems
Wildlife rescue, jungle ecology, rewilding, and land-based community projects.
Story & Voice
Writing, podcasting, translation, and amplifying the movement's message.
Community
Facilitation, circle work, event hosting, and holding space for others.
Education
Workshops, curriculum, and translating science into lived practice.
Language
This is not a Language Class.
Language is not a skill to acquire. It is a body to inhabit. A lens to feel through. Shikibuntu teaches language as embodied experience — rooted in ecology, song, story, and community.
I offer immersive language experiences that blend ecological storytelling, ubuntu philosophy, and embodied learning. Whether it's Spanish from the jungle, or conversations about what the land remembers — this is language as reconnection.
Let's get the conversation started:
I read every message personally. Whether it's about a conference, a festival, a community gathering, or a school.
