this is the path of the sacred activist
       one who stands freely on the precipice
            with a heart that's open to seeing the dark
                 with a heart  that's not afraid of being the spark

Redwood Reider is a spoken word poet known for inspiring and uplifting live audiences. Performances range from intimate storytelling and sacred ceremony to fully charged eco-political rhyme (and often all at the same time).

Redwood frequently collaborates with live musicians, on stage and in the recording studio. They have cocreated three albums of poetry with music. Redwood is also author of an award-winning book of creative nonfiction, Dreaming the Biosphere.

Redwood's rhymes grow out of a deep connection to earth, a love of community and a passion for justice and healing of our inner and outer worlds.
Words flow from the heart with humour and compassion – aiming to reconnect us all with our true nature.

Born and raised in northern California, Redwood has worked on ecological projects in a variety of cultures and countries. For over a decade they have been based in Golden Bay, Aotearoa New Zealand.
