About Me

Hi, I’m Addi (she/they).

I’m a queer, non-binary, coach, writer, teacher, and druid monk. I was born in the United States and lived there through my 30s. I immigrated to Denmark in 2011, where I’ve settled with my Danish wife.

I spend a lot of my time reading and being out in nature in one way or another. I dabble with linocut printing and painting, enjoy gardening and foraging, and have a deeply contemplative practice. I write every day in some form, and I have one (non-fiction, technical) book that has been traditionally published.

Community, connection, and self-reflection are very important to me and I try to live in ways that encourage and support that in myself and others. My main values are Compassion, Courage, Connection, and Integrity.

I have a particular interest in helping others find their own paths, which has led me to becoming a certified coach and creating holistic leadership training programs.

My spiritual life has followed a perhaps not uncommon path. I was raised Presbyterian, which I took very seriously until the age of 20. Disillusioned with Christianity, I left the church and became an atheist. I dabbled in Buddhism and other meditative practices for many years. Later in life I found Druidry as a community that shares my reverence for nature. Through the practices of Druidry I rediscovered a spiritual core within my love of being amongst the trees. I continue to explore and unfold my ecospiritual practice.
