Niema Lightseed (she/her) is a poet and priestess of the new paradigm dedicated to inviting personal and collective transformation through embodiment education, language, art, and ritual.
An artist since childhood and a healing professional since 2004, she writes and performs medicinal poetry, offers therapeutic bodywork and creativity coaching, teaches about the role of somatic awareness in the liberation process, creates community ceremonies, and seeks the marrow of life through a variety of meditative and creative disciplines.
As a full-figured woman of color navigating the intersection of multiple forms of oppression while determinedly seeking the joy that is our true nature and living as art, she strives to create containers where the structures we have inherited can be transmuted and the work of seeing, accepting, and celebrating the fullness of the human experience is possible.
Niema’s poetry and classes are bold and sensual, lyrical and edgy, devotional and incisive, ritual invitations to more deeply see one’s self and a ride into the heart of the Muse.
