About Me

My name is Alex Walker. I am a writer, artist, mediator of spirit, mentor and creature of the wyrd. I’m interested in following the call of life within me into and through love, sensuality, exploration, freedom,  embodiment, responsibility and inspiration. I am imagining and working to create a world that celebrates and honours play, wholeness, nature, diversity, sensitivity, vulnerability and difference. I have spent years demechanising my nervous system and learning to move through states with ease and resilience. I am interested in conscious relating, sexuality, touch and the creative and healing life force energy that can be found in the bringing together of spirit and sensuality in our body/minds.

My work is inspired by the company I find in otherness, ecology and the connection I feel to spirits and beasts, landscapes and creatures and the many marvels of the cosmos as they arrive through the portals in my being. As I create I come to know myself and am created this is an act of yielding to life and act of praise for each moment.

I work to create community and honour the marginal as we work and move towards the end of capitalism, the end of exploitation and the end of white supremacy. This is where life has brought me, this is where my creativity has brought me. I am unashamedly queer, autistic and whatever other labels people throw at me. I come from wealthy white people and I have known brutality and had some very violent conditioning. This has given me the opportunity to develop a good witness, deep compassion and a capacity for unconditional love, surrender and transformation. I am interested in the magic that comes when we both embrace and transcend the differences we embody.
