She occasionally gives workshops or private tutoring sessions on energy flow, divination, the Craft and environmental issues.

She has published several poems through anthologies and has contributed freelance articles to the Coles County Leader newspaper, Goddess Moon Circles, The Political Pagan, Moonlit Muse, The Pagan Heart, and The Beltane Papers. In her work, Anda draws from her diverse background, love of knowledge, and intuitive insight into the nature of humanity and the Divine.
