About My Practice

My name is Daphne Gray. I am a woodworker, yoga teacher, writer, lover of myth and music, and I find infinite joy in outdoor adventures. I work in a container infused with creativity, earnestness, and empathy to spark healing on a deep level.

I see each psyche as its own unique myth — sculpted by our social and political contexts — that has an unrelenting craving to be shared. A little tangential note: psyche literally translates to "butterfly." Talk therapy opens our mind's gilded cage, at last permitting our elegant psyches, souls, butterflies, to take flight.

I see self-study as an act of resistance against harmful institutions — rebuilding our relationships to Mother Earth, story, friends, lovers, and family, on a sturdier foundation of love and care.

I believe intimacy is a form of magic that challenges oppressive structures and reorganizes our wants and needs as equally important. Therapy can challenge the capitalistic fear-mongering that develops into habits and stories we live by just to stay afloat. Social constructs indoctrinate sex and grieving as shameful, while unhurried grieving and intentional sexual experience is liberation.

I'm deeply passionate about alchemizing the thread of empathy, myth, and care that has been shared with me, back out into the world. From this place, we can choose how we relate to the world, breaking out of the zombified matrix and writing our own mythical narrative. Opening the cages is contagious, be contagious!
