there are those souls that are both soft and strong, wise and wide open. toko-pa is one of those souls.

when toko-pa was just 15 she ran away from a violent, destructive home life and found herself having to navigate “the system.” the next decade was a hard one as she figured out, on her own, how to become an adult in a complicated, often uncaring world. this was the beginning of her search for belonging.

this search has led her down many creative, beautiful paths and today she is the founder of dreamschool: weaving a living bridge to the otherworld as well as the author of the award-winning book belonging: remembering ourselves home. in toko-pa’s words, “in addition to tending dreams, my work focuses on restoring the feminine, reconciling paradox, elevating grief, and facilitating ritual.”

join us as we explore a pathway home.

some things we talk about: 

  • how to start down the path of belonging to yourself and the world
  • when she lost sight of her creativity and how she came back to it
  • finding your own values and  your own voice
  • her own creative process and how she gets to what is true
  • when it’s time to commit and when it’s time to let go (and how to tell the difference)
  • and cultivating a vision for your life in tune with your longing
