Dreaming Earth Ministries
Dreaming Earth Ministries a sanctuary space for healing, belonging and creating beauty.
Hello There.....
Dreaming Earth Ministries is an exploration and attempt to engage with healing and wellness from a perspective where the human individual is de-centered as the most important figure. It is an effort to explore the cracks and wounds, in our hearts, minds and societies as rich ground for becoming more authentically human. A compost pile for commodified practices and beliefs around what it means to be well.
It is an attempt to dream with the Earth, not as an end goal to some light filled fifth dimension, but as descent into the body of Gaia, which is also a descent into the body of ourselves, and an ascent into the cosmos.
Currently the ministry is a one woman show with various supporting characters. Dreamed into being by Emilie, constantly evolving and changing, expanding and contracting.
Emilie grew up in the liminal spaces between the elder Ozark Mountains and the younger Cascades. She is a granddaughter, daughter, sister, mother and widow who has grown and cried and healed from tremendous adversity in her life. Preferring to grow with and around the trauma vs attempting to return to some unblemished state, she has participated in 1000's of hours of psychedelic ceremony, recreation and healing works, filling a wide range of roles as well as extensive study in more traditionally Western modalities. Emilie is passionate about re-claiming healing from the lenses of pathology and creating a truly different kind of world and lived experience for her children and those around her.
She currently resides in the Pacific Northwest with a new partner, dancing the tight rope of solo parenting to her fierce and feral son, building community, singing to the ocean and dreaming of the desert. (Currently accepting all donations for multi-acre desert ranches)

Supporting Characters
Jesse MacArthur

Jess is a writer, practitioner, and community builder creating resources for people healing from high‑control Christianity and religious trauma. He’s the creator of Sovereign Ground, a multi‑platform project that weaves together a Substack publication, practical recovery workbooks, and an online community for folks relearning how to have a self after life in systems that demanded total obedience and service.
A former preacher’s kid raised in the Church of Christ, Jess spent decades as the “good Christian” and faithful servant before slowly untangling himself from a world where his worth was measured in attendance, usefulness, and sacrifice. That history informs his work now: trauma‑aware, theologically literate, and relentlessly supporting his fellow escapees.
His writing focuses on identity, desire, embodiment, boundaries, and grief after leaving high‑control religion, and is deeply influenced by nervous‑system‑aware and parts‑work (IFS‑style) approaches. When he’s not drafting chapters or designing exercises, he’s usually tinkering with something—words, metal, or ideas—and finding small, ordinary ways to practice the autonomy he helps others reclaim.
