She is also a Western Energetic Herbalist, medicine maker, and co-founder of the People’s Health Clinic, a multi-modality free clinic serving the houseless community in Portland.Abigail first experienced the Work That Reconnects in the early 2000s while participating in a social justice-focused sangha in Southern California, and deeply resonated with this approach to the healing of ourselves and our world. Over the years, she has come to see grief work as a necessary and powerful tool for healing and transformation, on personal, community and societal levels. Abigail is excited to partner with groups, formal or informal, to facilitate workshops, rituals and other explorations in the tradition of Work that Reconnects.
