Every week I send a letter from the living world — about herbs and their personalities, flower essences, shamanic practice, and the quiet intelligence of nature that most of us were never taught to hear. If you feel called to plants, to slowing down, to building a real relationship with the natural world — this is for you.
Everything is alive. The plants have been waiting.
I want to tell you something about the plants. They are not passive. They are not inert. They are not simply collections of chemical compounds waiting to be extracted and consumed. They are alive. Intelligent. Responsive. And they have been in relationship with human beings for as long as human beings have existed. Every culture, in every part of the world, has known this. The plants were the first medicine, the first teachers, the first allies. Before books, before schools, before the...
Today, at 6pm, we sit with the season itself.
The Monthly Gathering meets live on Zoom this evening at 6pm, will you be joining us? This month we are sitting with the season itself. We will practice being present with the earth under our feet — tuning into the particular energy of this moment: the spring blooms, the buds, the quality of aliveness that is available right now and nowhere else. We will learn how to receive what the season is offering, both in the natural world around us and within ourselves and discuss seasonal medicinal...
Even this is spiritual
We tend to think of spiritual experience as the beautiful moments. The meditation that drops you into deep stillness. The walk in the forest where everything suddenly makes sense. The moment of grace that arrives unexpectedly and reminds you that something larger is at work. But what about the rest of it? The argument that goes too far. The diagnosis that changes everything. The ordinary Tuesday that feels like it will never end. The grief, the confusion, the days when nothing feels sacred at...
You are already enough
Not when you've healed enough. Not when you've done enough inner work. Not when you've read enough books, taken enough courses, or finally understood yourself well enough to feel worthy of a full, beautiful life. Now. Exactly as you are. You are enough. I know how hollow that can sound when you're in the middle of something hard. When the body is struggling, or the heart is heavy, or the life you're living feels like it belongs to someone else. I'm not asking you to pretend those things...
Two invitations — one this Thursday
Something shifts in May. The earth is fully awake now — gone is the first shy green of early spring, now spring is openly, abundantly, unmistakably alive. The buds have become leaves. The blooms are everywhere. The light is longer and the air carries something that feels almost like an invitation. This is Beltane season. The midpoint between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. The moment when the living world is at its most generously present and asking, quietly, whether you are...
One evening a month. For you.
What if once a month, you gave yourself one evening? A space to arrive. To breathe. To go within and let nature meet you exactly where you are. I've been thinking about this for a long time — about how many of us are genuinely walking a path, genuinely committed to the inner life, and yet have no consistent place to practice it. No anchor. No regular moment each month that belongs entirely to ourselves and to our relationship with the natural world. We read. We listen. We gather information....
Meet Maize — grandmother plant, earth teacher, keeper of roots and voice 🌽
She's Been Feeding You Your Whole Life. Now She Has Something to Say. Meet Maize — grandmother plant, earth teacher, keeper of roots and voice and the ancient joy of belonging to something that will never let you go. Maize does not belong to one people or one place. She belongs to the earth, and she carries her medicine to whoever is ready to receive it. You carry roots that go down through people who loved imperfectly and tried genuinely and survived things they did not know they could...
