Biography -

Charity Cimarron (they/them) identifies as white, disabled, queer, a solo parent, Jewitch, woodland creature, performing musician, craftsperson, ritual artist, tarot reader, somatic practitioner and educator. 

Their primary music project is Mother Marrow, a dark, ritual folk expression, drawing from a symbology deeply interwoven with the natural world, and exploring the ways that relationship can transmute suffering into beauty. Music and art as a communal sacrament is the thread that runs throughout this work.

Their favorite way to pass the time is hiding out in the underbrush, listening to plants and birds, touching moss, and feeling the wind, or exploring new sounds and songs.

As an accomplished maker, they have spent countless therapeutic hours weaving, spinning, sewing, book-binding, basket-making, and sharing these skills with others.

They have been inviting groups into communal song, leading rituals, and teaching nature awareness and ancestral arts at earth skills gatherings for 15+ years.

Since 2016, they have been teaching music and ancestral arts to 1-8 grade students at the Asheville Waldorf School.

They spent many years living off-grid, in many small structures and vehicles across the country, and are currently focused on exploring how to bring the skills acquired through these lifeways into alignment with liberation ethics (meaning freedom from opression for all people, not just those with the privilege to explore alternative lifestyles).

Trained as both a birth doula, and a hospice volunteer, Charity continues to pursue further education to better support these transitional times.

They completed a 3-year Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) training with the Somatic Experiencing Institute, and are always exploring what the practice of radical liberation might look like within their communities.
