Pamela Lee is a multi-disciplinary artist, writer, tea ceremony practitioner, intuitive, yogini, mother of two, forest wanderer, honey collector, seeker of hot springs and connector of worlds. She will squash all competition at a bake sale by a landslide, hikes much faster up hills than her short legs let on, gives incredible sparkle-melty hugs, and wishes she could be immersed in water 24/7. She was raised by the Olentangy river in central Ohio.
She studied sculpture, performance art and metalsmithing at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she received a BFA in 2001. She earned an MFA from Tyler School of Art in 2006. She discovered yoga in 2001 and studied with various teachers including Sue Elkind, Naime Jezzeny, Jennifer Schelter, Premshakti Mary Stout, and others. She taught yoga for 13 years and collaborated with professional dancer/yogini Lori Coyle to create a curriculum of yoga practices that combine dance and embodiment of spiritual practices that go beyond physical yoga postures called 'Grow Yoga' in 2015. She has studied Japanese tea ceremony (Chanoyu) with Morgan Beard, Drew Sodo Hanson and Marylynn Howard with Urasenke Philadelphia. She has studied embodiment, shamanic, tantric, and emotional release practices with KamalaDevi McClure, Crystal Dawn Morris and Bruce Lyon at the International School of Temple Arts. She weaves together her decades of study in yoga, tantra, mindfulness, and shamanic practices into her current creative explorations.
Pamela is on a mission to co-create a culture of humanity through connecting humans with nature and their nature. To this end she is the visionary and founder of the 501c3 organization The Refuge For Creative And Spiritual Ecology--whose mission is to build culture-of-humanity skills through education programs for humans of all ages to learn about nature through lived experiences and storytelling ways that have been lost and hidden in our post-industrial society.
