Forest Lin (they/them) is a queer 1.5-generation Taiwanese-American kinesthetic artist, Asian diaspora community organizer, and BaZi Chinese astrology practitioner based in Ohlone territory (Oakland). As a "Dragon meets Goat" Mycelium connector, they cultivate spaces for deeper embodiment, authentic expression, and ancestral healing.

Through 1:1 BaZi consultations, Forest helps individuals uncover their potential and align with their deeper calling. They honor their teacher, Meng Yu of Tiger Eye Astrology, and their Mycelium Network kin for shaping their vision. In the Wood Snake year, Forest is especially eager to see their budding healing collective, @qiki.club, grow—we provide free/donation based acupuncture pop-up clinics for those who need to restore, rest, build, resist, and withstand the current movements of today’s world.

During this Snake year, forest will be offering sliding scale BaZi sessions $120-250 and commit to moving 20% to QiKi Club - to sustain movement organizers and provide healing support to those who need it the most.
