Rachael Amber (they/she) is a visual artist & ecospiritualist who channels nature-centric creations & healing tools to raise awareness and foster connection between all beings.
Rachael is an 11x self-published print designer, tarot deck creator & reader, guidebook author, poet, espiritista, trauma-sensitive facilitator / space-holder, and elemental devotee.
Their patchwork experiences and identities of being queer, neurodivergent, working class, diasporic Puerto Rican and European descendant raised & living on the east coast of Turtle Island are woven into their work.
Their creative focus comes to life through illustration, design, intuitive arts, writing, poetry, social + environmental advocacy, mysticism, earth-based spirituality, somatics & embodiment, trauma resolution, astrological cycles, spiritual systems, ancestral reconciliation, decolonization, and mental & menstrual mindfulness.
Passionate about extending the support that has helped themself in their healing journey of embodiment, empowerment, education, self-acceptance & (re-)connection, Rachael creates independent publications such as Cycles Journal, the Embodied Ecosystems Tarot & Oracle Deck, Cyclical Mindfulness, Remembership practices, other artistic tools & intuitive offerings.
It’s really important for me to honor my earthly origins and also recognize that I live on unceded Wabankai lands & grew up on Lenape lands. I know I am an humble guest here and simultaneously an integral part of the larger whole - and so I strive to honor my role.
🌎 My familial lineage is rooted in the lands of Borikén/Puerto Rico, Southern Italy, Austria-Hungary, Scotland, Iberia, & around the Mediterranean sea.
🧑🎨🌿🌕 My creative focus comes to life through illustration, design, intuitive arts, eco-spiritualism, poetic writing, social + environmental advocacy, embodiment, and mental & menstrual mindfulness.
♾️💫♻️ Most of my artwork focuses on depicting the energetic interconnection between ourselves, one another & the natural world.
🪐🌲 I'm also deeply devoted to practices and studies of astrology, divination, Earth based spirituality, folk religion, Eco-Dharma, engaged Buddhism, eco-somatics, holistic history & related fields.
💧🟢 My favorite thing is probably a tie between walking on moss and being in or near a waterbody.
🏡 I was raised in a working class family in northern NJ and I now reside in Western Maine/Wabanaki Lands in the lakes & mountains region.
🧑🎓 I lived & went to college in Philadelphia at the University of the Arts (R.I.P.) for illustration & design with a minor in creative writing, and studies in Zen Buddhism, movement, bookmaking + printmaking. I was the first in my family to go to university.
🤷 I once said I'd never work for myself, but here I am - I couldn't not. (I tried interning at some design places but it didn't feel quite right for me.)
📚 I love words & images combined - I started off making zines before making Cycles Journal.
My Focused Devotions
Embodied Divination & Eco-Mysticism
The Embodied Ecosystems Tarot & Oracle deck is here to help us remember and reconnect to our origins and support systems. Connect through the deck yourself, and/or through exclusive readings with Rachael.
Channeled Creations
As an eco-mystic artist, part of Rachael's mission is to offer messages & artwork that connect us deeper to ourselves, one another & nature (seen & unseen).
Illustration & Design
Since 2018 Rachael has self-published Cycles Journal, helped others with branding & print design, & created editorial for publications like the NYTimes & On Being.
Poetry & Prose
I published my first poetry booklet Written on the Trees Who Teach Me, Forgive Me with gratitude, and I'm excited to share more. Alongside poetry & prose are my other self-publications. There's a lot woven into my words.
Embodied Mindfulness
Wholistic integration is an ongoing practice & intention, through guiding & grounding facilitation and goods like Cyclical Mindfulness & of course the annual Cycles Journal, and also freely accessible meditations & printables.
Reflective Space-Holding
I'm passionate about holding trauma-sensitive space for connection, co-resourcing & rooting into our shared resilience – especially now in these times of turmoil and climate of change.
