Dr. Aaron Christopher Michael Chengte (chan-tay) Waldron, M.Div., is a religiously traumatized Theopoet, Artist and Shaman in Journey whose work lies at the crossroads of spirituality, art, psychology, and cultural critique. With a background in theology and a deep commitment to the healing of religious trauma, Dr. Waldron uses story, image, and symbol to explore what it means to live, believe, and transform beyond traditional religious frameworks. Their pronouns are they, them, and their, reflecting their identity as a collective being rather than a singular "I."

A former minister turned spiritual guide, Dr. Waldron facilitates dialogues, experiences, and courses that center the voices and experiences of those disillusioned or harmed by rigid dogma. They are the founder of Lost Raven Studios and the creator of "Public Space," a digital sanctuary for those seeking to rebuild faith beyond the four walls of colonized religion.
