Dante Jericho holds a BA in Holistic Theology from the American Holistic Theology Institute in Birmingham, AL. She is an Usui Reiki Master/Practitioner and owned and operated the Options Reiki and Wellness Center in Huntsville, AL where she practiced Reiki, facilitated workshops and managed additional massage therapists in the Center. As a public speaker, Dante has been sought by such organizations as the UAH Nursing Symposium and Church of Religious Science for her programs on holistic healing and the mystical path.
She has taught creative writing classes to both adults and children for over 15 years as well as having facilitated numerous writing groups, her focus on creative prompts and stream of consciousness writings. Writing, she feels, is one of the most succinct paths to the soul. Over the years Dante has incorporated collage into her writing work, further expanding her healing arena.
Collage is her main love, in which she is both artist and instructor/facilitator in the practice of Contemplative Collage, a process in which students create collages which they then “read” in much the same way as one would read a dream. She has taught Contemplative Collage in the South and Southwest, including at the Huntsville Art League, Santa Fe Photographic Workshops, ABQ Open Space, as teaching online to an international community. She also maintains a weekly Contemplative Collage forum in which she demonstrates the power of collage as a creative tool in everyday life.
As a collage artist, her work has been shown in public and online. Her worked has been displayed locally at the historic Tybie Davis Satin Gallery in Santa Fe, Second Street Brewery, Java Joe’s Coffee House and The Screen, at the Santa University of Art and Design. Her most recent exhibit is presently on display at the Om Blessings Gallery in Santa Fe.
An avid hiker and wilderness advocate, Dante walks her talk by volunteering in numerous trail building and maintenance programs for such organizations as The American Hiking Society, The CDT Alliance and New Mexico Volunteers for the Outdoors and has done trail work in the likes of el Malpais National Wilderness, the Saguaro National Desert and Chaco Canyon, a World Heritage site. She has solo-hiked over 250 miles of the ancient Camino de Santiago pilgrimage in Spain.
Dante is the author of Sacred Changes, Sacred Choices: Meditations from the I Ching. Over the years, her essays and poetry have been published in travel, wellness and other anthologies. She is currently working on her second book, KeyStrokes, a memoir about recovering her life, and her art, following emergency open heart surgery and three subsequent strokes.
