Karma Mayet is based in Brooklyn, New York and originally from Chicago, of Mississippi heritage.  Her gift as a channel of ancestral spirits has informed her life since childhood. Sharing messages from family ancestors and elemental beings, she offers healing modalities grounded in Sacred Rootwork.  Her work with youth in community settings, arts education, and grassroots organizations for the last two decades facilitates the cultivation of peace through justice within relationships. As creator of the Rootsong* practice, she shares the process of somatic improvisation as a tool for personal and communal transformation. As poet, composer/performer, educator, and yogi, she brings the same reverence for the Mystery to each modality.
