I think about that phrase now, βBig Brother,β and I know it means something different to people depending on what year you grew up in, and what youβve lived through. πΊπ₯Έπ’πβοΈπ₯ π― But I think we can all relate to the fact that the system isnβt actually designed to care for
Weβre in the 11th hour right now. The climate crisis, the species extinction, the degradation of ecosystems, we all see it. The chaos on this planet, I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that weβve fallen into this deep amnesia about who we really are.
So many people are feeling like somethingβs missing. Things are disjointed, maybe even weβre disjointed on a personal level. Loneliness, anxiety, a feeling of not belonging here in this place or this time. Looking out at the world and thinking βHow is this happening? How did we
When I was a little girl, Iβd visit my grandparents in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky. It was like going 100 years back in time, they didnβt have cars, and life was slower there. πΏπ π³ There was this Pawpaw tree growing near the smokehouse. It was one of those trees
One year St. Johnβs Wort just appeared in the corner of my garden, big and gorgeous, right when I was going to be working with them in my course. I thought, βHow handy!β And thatβs how it works, when you put the energy out that you want to be in relationship with a plant, they
Weβre living through an unprecedented turning point. Ecological collapse, existential uncertainty, a big unraveling of the old paradigm stories. Itβs a challenging time, but it is also a very exciting time to be alive. ππ₯π’ποΈππ¨β»οΈππ³π²π³π² πΏ This is an exciting time
I donβt pick the plant for our initiation, the plant chooses me, and this year, Angelica stepped forward, tall, divine, and radiant. She gets so tall that when someone is beside her, theyβre actually looking up. There is something about that, something instructive, Angelica
So many of us feel the call to reconnect with Nature, but where do we begin? In my free webinar, Essentials of Co-Creative Partnership with Nature, Iβll share the foundational elements of how to consciously partner with the living world around us. Weβll explore: πΉ What
Every time you feel drawn to a Plant, itβs a conversation waiting to happen. πΏπ¬ π That feeling of βoh, I love that one!β Thatβs how the Plant is calling you in. Begin there. Sit. Share breath and presence. Let the feelings and memories rise gently like mist from the Earth.
How has Nature been speaking to you lately? ππ±π¨π πΆ These whispers we hear arenβt just our own. Theyβre the voice of the living Earth moving through us. The mycelial memory waking up in our bones. The Plants reaching for us as much as we long for them. πππΏ πΌ To feel
Biophilia (n.): A deep, innate love of natural systems, of Nature itself. A bond so essential, itβs believed to be encoded in our very DNA. ππΏπ§¬ β»οΈ And itβs not just our love for Nature, itβs also Natureβs love for us. π± A soul-level need to be in relationship with the
Weβve placed ourselves at the top of some imagined hierarchy, convincing ourselves that our intelligence makes us superior. ππ§π½ββοΈπ¦ππ π¦ππΌπ π‘β»οΈ But Nature shows a different model, one of interconnection, interdependence, and the quiet brilliance of
When I speak of an ancient contract of reciprocity, I mean the deep agreement that exists beneath words, beneath culture, beneath even time itself. The Plants remember this agreement. And when we meet them with reverence, when we bow with our bodies, our hearts, or our
Attunement is a living relationship. Let the plants, the wind, the waters, the trees remind you: You are not alone. You never were. π³ππ¨ π§π½ββοΈ Every time we sit with Nature in presence, we remember something ancient. That we are not separate. That we belong. That the world
Iβve spent most of my life in deep relationship with the more-than-human world. And even after all these years, Nature continues to offer new wisdom. Guidance that comes through in quiet moments, gentle nudges, and deeply rooted presence. π§π½ββοΈπ³πΏπ¨ π Nature is a teacher I
One of the things I love most about the Plants is how they reflect us back to ourselves. πΏπͺπΏ πΉπ Theyβre not trying to fix us. They donβt offer judgment. They simply meet us where we are, and in doing that, they help us see where we might be caught in something that
When I sit with a Plant or lay my hands on the Earth, I often find myself remembering: the water in my body has been here before. Itβs ancient. It knows the shape of rivers, the softness of moss, the thunder of waterfalls tumbling down volcanic stone. Itβs moved through root
