About Patricia Jamie Lee
I am a teacher, writer, artist, and developmental guide who works at the intersection of story, consciousness, and lived human experience.
For more than four decades, my work has explored how people make meaning, how patterns form and dissolve, and how we find our way back to a deeper sense of belonging, purpose, and inner authority. I am especially interested in the places where inner life meets outer action—where insight becomes practice, and where awareness reshapes how we move through the world.
For most of my life, I’ve been walking a very human path of learning, unlearning, breaking, mending, wondering, listening — and slowly discovering how the deeper currents of our lives shape who we become. Along the way, two novels arrived — Albert’s Manuscript and Still Mountain. I didn’t write them as teachings. They came to me as stories. But over time, I realized they carried something larger — frameworks for understanding how we move through the world . . . and how the world moves through us. So I decided to bring those story worlds to life on this website. The site is designed to invite story, self exploration on many levels and community--how we can come together with strength and paresence.
Story has always been central to my work. I have written novels, essays, and teaching materials that explore mythic and native, earth-based intelligence, developmental passages, and the subtle structures that shape human lives. Two of these works, Albert’s Manuscript and Still Mountain, have become the foundational texts for the archetypes and journeys that now live on this site.
I live on 20 acres in Northern Minnesota in a strawbale house that my husband and creative partner built. A labor of love for sure. And a lot of labor. In the summer of 2025 I began converting the space into a small gathering and retreat center--Still Mountain Retreats.
In the 90's my husband and I produced more than one hundred public radio documentaries including the award-winning 52-part Native music series Oyate Ta Olowan—The Songs of the People. We traveled over 110,000 miles into Indian Country. Who gets to do that? That work deepened my respect for careful listening, our common story, ethical storytelling, and the responsibility that comes with shaping narrative in the public sphere. It continues to inform how I teach, write, and work with people today.
Now I am starting a new adventure, this website. Here I get to bring all the wild, wonderful parts of myself into one space and then invite you to enter and do the same with me. I am uncertain how it will grow from here but excited to see it unfold. Through courses, coaching, and guided journeys--and even an AI version of me--I want to support people in recognizing patterns and stories that no longer serve them and to chart a stronger path to the big, bad, beautiful self that is in all of us.
I do not see learning as the accumulation of information. I see it as a process of weaving—integrating experience, insight, body wisdom, lightness, humor and imagination into a coherent way of living. Everything I offer grows from that understanding. And I think it should not be just about healing and building--it should be a lot of fun!
Creation Rocks.
