Row and Release Ministry

A Sanctuary for Deeper Belonging and a Pathway to Purpose

Welcome to Row and Release—a sanctuary for those yearning for deeper belonging and purpose. In a world gripped by loneliness and a culture that prioritizes profit over well-being, it’s no wonder so many of us feel burnt out, unsupported, and disconnected. Let this serve as your reminder: there is nothing wrong with you. Your soul is responding naturally to a world that has lost its way.

We are living through a pivotal moment in history—one that calls us to break the chains of generational and systemic trauma that have endured for centuries. This is a time of great courage, where we dare to feel what our ancestors could not and heal wounds they could only carry forward.

But this journey isn’t meant to be done alone. True healing comes through connection—to our ancestors, our community, and the nurturing power of Mother Earth. At Row and Release, we honor these sacred relationships and provide a space for healing, growth, and awakening. Together, we can build a bridge back to a life of reciprocity, sacred reverence, and belonging.

Part of this journey is stepping into your gifts and aligning with your life’s purpose. If spirit is calling you, I am here to help you cultivate courage, clarity, and the tools to bring your vision to life. You are not alone—your ancestors stand beside you, guiding and supporting you as you reclaim the truth of who you were born to be.

You May Be a Cycle Breaker If….

  • You’ve experienced a deep sense of responsibility to "end the cycle" of dysfunction, addiction, or harm in your lineage.

  • You are drawn to creating intentional communities, chosen families, and support networks that model healthier, more reciprocal relationships in response to the isolation created by oppressive systems.

  • You want to reconnect with ancestral traditions, rituals, and wisdom, by integrating this knowledge into your life.

  • You want to challenge harmful practices rooted in patriarchy, colonialism, or other oppressive ideologies.

  • You prioritize healing your wounds to ensure they don’t get passed down to the next generation.

  • You are an empath who craves deep connection, is sensitive to energy, and finds deeper meaning in life’s complexities.

  • You advocate for justice and understand that personal healing is interconnected with collective liberation.

  • You feel called to transform your pain into wisdom and use it to help others.

  • You find yourself drawn to inner work, therapy, spiritual practices, or other healing modalities to rewrite your story.
