Xanne Sarka aka Xaxxie-K

Xanne Sarka aka Xaxxie-K, originally from Hawaii, has been living in the PNW since 1993.  Their two wonderful children, Kenna and Kenassa were born and raised in the PNW.   They dub their parenting experience as, “Extreme Parenting” for both children had intense medical needs that consumed the bulk of Xaxxie-K’s time and energy the past 20 years.   From a young age, Xaxxie-K’s motto has been, “Laughter is the best medicine.”  Hence, it is no surprise that their vocation is rooted in play.  They believe that play has transformed them from a place of merely surviving to ecstatically thriving.  They are the founder of Sneaky Deep Collective-an organization on a mission to ignite social change through the four healing salves of our birthrights-movement, sound, storytelling and stillness.   Xaxxie-K is a social entrepreneur, teaching artist, facilitator, consultant, creative director, and a branch director for the expressive arts organization, Turning the Wheel.  They feel fortunate to have been called to a vocation in which their work is rooted in play!  Other interests include low-tide beach explorations, pickleball and being a part of social justice, community building movements.
