This practice came to me in a dream.

My name is Daria and I am a commitment to ending intergenerational cycles of violence. At Accountability Mapping, I teach Transformative Justice skills through the body.    

I created Accountability Mapping to build our collective capacity for accountability in a transformative way. I began doing this work for those I love who harmed me, and for myself when I've harmed those I love. I offer this experiment as a culmination of my own fragile successes, spectacular failures and ongoing learning in self-accountability.  I want to share what I know because we need tools now, we needed them yesterday.   

As a transgender person, I understand the body as a site of possibility and transformation.  Accountability Mapping synthesizes Transformative Justice principles with Qi Gong practices and somatic exploration. The body becomes a doorway on a journey of change - moving you toward alignment with what matters.  

I am a Russian and Chinese-Kazakhstani refugee and settler raised on Ohlone land (San Francisco Bay Area).  I am a survivor of child sexual abuse and trafficking. I am Autistic, chronically ill and disabled. My pronouns are he/him.  You can learn more about me and my work on the Emergent Strategy Podcast, season 2 episode 6. 

I am also an anti-discplinary artist and a BaZi Chinese Astrologer.

Thank you for your support.

My transformative justice journey began in 2008 as a  Harm Reduction counselor at the Berkeley Free Clinic. Soon I found myself at CR10  conference on abolishing the prison industrial complex, and heard about transformative justice for the first time.  My whole body said - "YES - THIS." 

In 2010, I was really lucky to end up at a 3-day TJ training led by GenerationFive, an organization working to end child sexual abuse in five generations. I became a founding member of the Bay Area Transformative Justice Collective, a project initiated by Mia Mingus in 2011.  In 2012, I began training with Generative Somatics - a transformative justice-based  healing and social change methodology.  

After medically transitioning in 2017, I finally realized my childhood dream of studying dance - as practice of living in the aliveness and power of my body.  

In 2020 I began deepening connection with my ancestral lineages.  I studied Medical Mediumship  with Dr. Jennifer Lisa Vest, and the Yìjīng (I-Ching) and Chinese Bazi Astrology with Yu Hua Meng.  In 2021, I completed the Medical Qi Gong program at AIMC ( and I strongly recommend studying with an Asian or POC practitioner outside of an institution instead).

In 2023 I launched Red Rabbit Astrology, where I use Chinese Astrology to help BIPOC chart the course of their destiny.  You can hear more about me and my work on the Emergent Strategy Podcast, season 2 episode 4.

I have a BA in Public Health from UC Berkeley with a focus on Community Health, (but also they arrested and assaulted me in the 2009 student protests so FTP).
