I’m foremost a songwriter - currently as Sainte Olympia & for a decade as Amy Seeley - and most recently have been composing Orthodox choral music. I also love the beauty of place, and how it forms us. I am someone who needs quiet to feel like herself, am deeply drawn to nature, an avid walker, bird watcher, garden grower and a high, high introvert.

Currently I live in northeast Pennsylvania, close to St. Tikhon’s Monastery, making a 106 year old house in the woods home and caring for the land where it resides.

I'm keenly fond of silence, a very slow pace, thoughtful conversations, and tangible things well-made that make us feel human and alive. Often this means: things that don't have a screen.

You’ll most often find me foraging in the garden or woods, hiking, making sourdough in the kitchen, embracing Liturgy, and almost always lighting a candle, no matter the time of day.

I believe we are privately & collectively living with the deep ache for quiet,
for prayer,
for meaningful language,
for solace,
for Beauty,
and for returning to God.

This is where I write about agency, our call to Liturgy, creating heaven on earth, and the hopeful re-pairing of our souls & bodies.
