If you are a seeker, the kind of person who enjoys wandering landscapes internal and external, who loses all sense of time and space while in the creative act, who wants to live a full life and appreciates all the small miracles in a day, consider us friends.

HI THERE.
I am a writer, astrologer, and folk herbalist who spent most of my life in Appalachia (Maryland/Pennsylvania/West Virginia/Asheville), stopped in Baltimore for a short time, lived on the road for a while, and landed in Northern New Mexico in 2019, just a few months prior to the start of the pandemic (and the end of the world as we know it).

I’ve been an arts and culture writer and editor by day for many years and continue this work, while most of my self studies have been around herbalism, mysticism, mind/body connection, transpersonal psychology, astrology and Human Design, and energy work.

You can find me on most social media @karmarocca.
