Lilies: Create Sacred Womb Space for Rebirth
Tiger Lily balances your creative power center (2nd chakra). Lilies make me happy. They are so deeply and unapologetically feminine in their essence. They remind me of my true nature, too. As a woman, a sensitive, an empath, and as someone who needs to remember to set my intention daily to create a strong energy… Continue reading Lilies: Create Sacred Womb Space for Rebirth
How to Make a Flower Essence
When a flower grows in an unexpected place, I take notice! This is a common way for the plant realms to speak to us. They come visit by growing nearby so we notice them… and awaken to the gifts they offer as healers, teachers, guides, and allies. The plants are medicine for all aspects of… Continue reading How to Make a Flower Essence
Listening to the Rainbow Iris Queen
Out of my heart came a vision of a “dark” royal queen. She was deep, dark purple with dark eyes and a pale complexion. She appeared within the depths of my heart after pink rose petals showered out in all directions. I held my attention on her and realized she was an aspect of me,… Continue reading Listening to the Rainbow Iris Queen
Flower Essence for Support & Calming
Be calm, relaxed, and rooted in your foundation. Know that you are fully supported. You don’t have to try so hard. From this knowing springs forth a sense of inner courage. This plant gave me a vision of a Native American woman with Red-flowering Currant in her hand. She held the red blossoms over a… Continue reading Flower Essence for Support & Calming
A Gift From Gnomes & Fairies: Mystic Mushroom
I was curious, so I asked the fairies. “Is it possible to be truly altered, or high, by taking a flower essence?” I find essences very subtly and gently altering, but I wondered if it was possible to experience something much stronger like psychedelics. They never answered my question directly, but several months later my… Continue reading A Gift From Gnomes & Fairies: Mystic Mushroom
What’s in a Land’s Name: Cape Disappointment
Camping at Cape Disappointment on the Washington Coast recently, I was curious about its name. As an earth alchemist, I attune to the imprints that are held within the subtle energy of land, in this case, land memories. Experiences, and even names, can continue to inform the nature of the landscape well into the future.… Continue reading What’s in a Land’s Name: Cape Disappointment
Honored Stone Renews Energy of Land
Earth School’s first event—Intro to Land Honoring, Clearing, and Giving Back— was a beautiful event where we honored and attuned to the spirit of land at Lucretia Court in NW Portland, our own lands, and learned how to make offerings, ask permission, and align ourselves for deeper connection with Mother Earth. Because we were… Continue reading Honored Stone Renews Energy of Land
Tend the Land, Tend Your Inner-Landscape: EARTH SCHOOL
How can we awaken sacred relationship with land, our bodies, and elementals of nature? We are not here to heal Mother Earth, we are here to heal our relationship with Mother Earth.

How to Thrive in Chaos
The Columbia River Gorge was formed by cataclysmic flooding and massive earth movements. The flower essences I co-created beginning in 2000 come from the wildflowers that live here and have learned how to thrive in extreme conditions. They are survivors! They know how to grow in ice, snow, rain, wind, sun, and all elemental conditions. These… Continue reading How to Thrive in Chaos
