about

My name is Adrienne. My practice, Silk & Bone, has been shaped by years of listening more and more deeply to one simple question: what does it mean to live in relationship with the land, and with the more-than-human world?

For a long time, that question simply echoed back to me across the landscape. it was a practice of patience and humility.

There were layers to unravel and ways of being to unlearn. Over time, the question became more precise: what does it mean for this body to be in relationship with this land, at this particular moment? And that’s when something slowly started to shift.

I live with my family in western Massachusetts, on lands holding deep indigenous histories that remain present in the life of this place and the people who make their home here.

I grew up finding refuge in the woods behind my home: following streams, picking blackberries, wandering deer paths, and learning the quiet companionship of trees long before I had language for any of it.

My life has also been shaped by experiences of queerness, gender fluidity, and the continual unlearning of rigid binaries. these movements continue to reshape how I understand relationship, embodiment, and belonging.

I still return often to small daily practices of attention: noticing seasonal shifts, listening for birdsong at dawn, tending relationship with the places that hold my life. These practices sustain me and inform the way I accompany others through this work.

If something in this resonates with you, I would be honored to walk alongside you for a time.
