Guest Instructor Erica Harte is an artist, teacher, ceremonialist, and culture worker curating offerings where body, lineage, story, rite and trauma reacquaint themselves and envelop one another. As a certified Lucid Body instructor, Erica guides students to a deeper connection with their own body and story. Grappling with self and the energetic lineage of that self is the inflection point for crafting characters with respect. She utilizes this training as a practice-based blueprint for embodied artistry, trauma informed storytelling, and grounded ceremony.
