Heidi Marie Gardner (they/she)
librarian, Ritualist, and Artist in Cumberland, Maryland
Heidi was formerly called to ministry and academics. Now they're a servant leader in the world of lost, forgotten, ignored and suppressed history and family stories. Heidi is an appalachian neuroqueer. A community organizer. A visual and theatre artist. A relationship alchemist. An enneagram practitioner. A granny witch, social worker and teacher at heart. A ritualist and a librarian, historian and genealogist. Heidi returned to the landscape of the nomadic indigenous lands in the Potomac Highlands where she was raised and labor now is largely expressed in the context of mutual aid and bartering or is freely gifted and includes intersectional community care, activism and transformative justice-- specifically within neurodivergent, queer and Black led spaces. In a long ago and far away life, they trained for ministry and taught rural first year college students world religions and the history of xianity. Bless them.
