About Green Flame
Cultivating Personal Power and Collective Healing
Green Flame Community is a sanctuary for spiritual misfits, rebels, and visionaries—especially those of us who’ve felt unseen or disconnected in traditional spiritual or wellness spaces. We offer inclusive, affirming, and empowering circles and mentorship for non-binary, trans, women, and gender-expansive folks to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the sacred—within and all around us.
Our Values
Personal Power + Collective Healing
At Green Flame, we believe that reclaiming our power is a revolutionary act. Our gatherings are designed to support self-awareness, intuitive wisdom, and collective care—rooted in a commitment to dismantling systems of oppression and cultivating a world where everyone belongs.
Spiritual Sovereignty
We support you in forging a spiritual path that’s authentic and ever-evolving. This is not about adhering to a specific tradition or leader—it’s about helping you listen to your intuition, honor your cycles, and walk your own sacred path.
Nature-Based Ritual
We align our offerings with the natural rhythms of the Earth—honoring the moon phases, seasonal shifts, and energetic cycles to guide our reflection, transformation, and growth.
Our Practices
Spirituality at Green Flame is intuitive, embodied, intersectional, and liberating.
We use ritual, intention, reflection, journaling, movement, and collective witnessing to support:
-
Self-discovery + self-trust
-
Deconstructing internalized oppression
-
Reconnection with nature + community
-
Building resilience and aligned leadership
Whether you're new to spiritual practice or deep on your path, you're welcome here.
About Emily
Emily Lily (they/she) is the founder and lead facilitator of Green Flame Community. They are a queer, neurodivergent, non-binary spiritual guide and circle keeper, grounded in a deep love for nature, spirit, and collective transformation.
Born and raised in the orbit of Salem, MA, Emily's connection to the mystical began early—lighting candles on their childhood altar and reading old spell books borrowed from the local herb shop.
Emily blends over a decade of professional leadership and coaching experience with spiritual training in Wayfinder Coaching, The Work of Byron Katie, Reiki, Somatic Abolitionism, and ritual arts. Through their unique path—which includes a life-altering medical experience guided by their rescue dog Rusty—Emily weaves intuition, equity, and sacred rebellion into every offering.
Today, they guide individuals and communities in reclaiming personal power, navigating transitions, and embracing their own magic.
Spiritually Transformative Experience
A spiritually transformative experience has defined who I am today, shaping the path I walk. In 2020, my elderly rescue dog, Rusty, changed my life in a way I could never have imagined. Through his persistence—pressing his paws, head, and nose into a spot on my pelvis—I discovered a 15 cm tumor I didn’t know I had. The intense pain he caused sent me to the doctor, ultimately saving my life and seeding my intention to move more fully onto a spiritual path. Rusty’s extraordinary intuition and unwavering devotion earned him the Diamond Collar Hero Award from The Oregon Humane Society. Here is the heartwarming video about our story.
