Bio

Megan May was blessed to be raised by the wind, sun, and dry earth of the desert lowlands of Southern California, tucked in between vast coastal and mountainous regions on both sides. Living next to a nature reserve in a city undergoing extensive suburban sprawl, she was able to find a wild sanctuary in the seasonal streams and sage covered landscape that were her backyard. This sense of place, nature, wildness, and imagination continues to feed her life-long pursuits of health, connection, creativity, human potential, and joy.

After growing up a quintessential Southern California daughter, Megan sought adventure and spiritual connection traveling in Hawaii, India, and Bali, as well as the length of California. She settled for some years in the rich redwoods of northern California to complete her bachelor's degree studying Intersectional Feminism, Vedic Traditions, and Art. She completed her studies in 2015. She relocated to Upstate, NY in 2018 as an Artist in Residence at The Flower City Art Center in Rochester, NY. She spent that year diving deeply into the research and embodiment of feminine archetypes, subjective female sexulaity and desire, self-portraiture, and the personal metabolism of patriarchal views of the female body. Her culminating body of work, “Myths of The Sacred Wound,” was met with unprecedented shifts in the matrix of the art institution.

Her experience developing this body of work led Megan back into her life-long love of the body and embodiment. She is currently living on Lopez Island, Washington studying to become an ISMTA Certified Clinical Somatics Facilitator. The focus of her studies include integrated trauma resolution, cellular consciousness, the matrix of meta-physiology and the neuro-science of change and healing. She is delighted to be grounding long held beliefs of human potential and spiritual wisdom into lived and teachable knowledge.

Megan continues to integrate the importance of archetypal psychology, myth, ritual, mysticism, decolonization, creativity, nature, and the body in her personal practices of being. She is committed to anchoring the sacred by reuniting the artistic with the scientific in bringing us all home to our true potential.
