Hi, I’m Derae.

For a long time, I carried pain I didn’t fully understand, held in place by old patterns that had quietly shaped my life. They had once helped me survive, but with time, I realized they were no longer serving me. It became clear: something needed to be released. The pain, the silence, the grief I had never fully let myself feel, it was time to finally let it move.

Everything began to change when I was introduced to the healing power of plant medicine. That experience became a doorway, one that led me into deep inner work, grief alchemy, and ultimately, self-remembrance. I began shedding old versions of myself and opening to something far more honest and alive.

This journey, the raw, real one, is what I now share through my writing.
A Human Odyssey is a deeply personal story, told through fictional names but rooted entirely in lived experience. It explores healing, rage, grief, friendship, and the unseen forces that shape us. It’s both a mirror and a map for anyone walking their own path back to wholeness.

Right now, my work is in sharing these stories. Soon I will extend that work, through coaching, holding space for others, and co-creating retreats that offer safety, depth, and real transformation.

If you’re navigating your own awakening, quietly questioning everything, or simply longing to feel more connected, know that you’re not alone.
I’m glad you’re here.

D.

This journey has taught me how to come home to myself.

Want to walk this journey with me?

“Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken, it’s about remembering what’s true.”

As part of sharing this work, I’ve used a mix of tools, including AI-generated imagery, to visually express the inner landscapes, emotions, and symbolism explored in A Human Odyssey.

These visuals are crafted to reflect the soul of the story.

When I’m not writing or reflecting, you’ll find me walking in nature, flirting with the ocean, having long talks with friends, or getting lost in music and silence.
