Sarah Salem

Sarah is a teacher, priestess, and student. She has worked with youth of all ages, particularly in Jewish and outdoor education contexts. She has been an educator at Camp Tawonga, the Teva Nature Program, and Mishkan Chicago. In her roles as a teacher and facilitator, she weaves experiences that invite play, curiosity, inner knowing, and the remembering and re-configuring of our connections with each other and the larger wonders of the world. She is grateful for the teachers, communities, and more-than-human web of life who have taught her reverence, integrity, dynamic joy, and emotional bravery. These are qualities she hopes to imbue in all she offers. 

Sarah is currently training in the healing art of shiatsu, at Zen Shiatsu Chicago. She was raised on Ohlone and Miwok Land, in California. She graduated from UC Davis in 2014 with a BA in Theatre Arts and a minor in Education. In 2015 she spent three months walking a pilgrimage in Northern Spain, which strongly influences her path as a priestess. She is the descendent of Irish and Sephardi & Mizrahi Jewish immigrants.
