wow- welcome to this little corner of the universe! i don’t know how you found it but know you belong here.
so thank you, i am grateful to connect with you. i see you.
i see this website as an attempt to reach out my mycelial hyphae- i’m reaching with trust, not knowing when how or who i will connect with. i know this: connection is nutritious. this website started as a personal journal archiving my feelings and adventures- and now it is evolving into a more public hub, with occasional remedy offerings foraged by myself.
about me: i’ve been on a mythical healing journey, travelling through religion and divorce and single motherhood and suburbia and deep physical injury- an unraveling of what’s untrue to allow authenticity.
throughout these journeys i began a plant path– connecting with the oaks and elderberries of the wild suburb edges– deep depression and anxiety were treated with flower essences- my being and dreams began to widen
while my affinity for the mushroom and all of nature have been lifelong, my life changed nearly in an instant when i started dreaming about the mushroom. i acted on these dreams, contacting an old acquaintance turned mycologist. we went on a mushroom hunt together up in the near by mountains.
the earth moved beneath my feet and my soul expanded to envelop the whole universe: as soon as i said yes to my wild heart a parallel reality revealed itself, patiently waiting all along. i packed up my children and wagon and headed for life in the woods with this twin flame, this beloved teacher. i now live with this wild being in the woods, the two of us lovingly caring for my children in a way that resonates with the core of my joy.
The mushroom continues to guide me, prompting me to share some of what I’ve learned at various gatherings and events, such as Spirit Weavers, Mystic Bizarre at Desert Daze, Weaving Women’s Wisdom, and Moon Mountain—
it’s no coincidence that the mushroom brought me to village life-
mushrooms heal consciousness and our bodies. mushrooms are leading the way in building the new world, by healing our imaginations. we create our own realities with our healed imaginations, so we can grow an earth based culture. what i’ve learned from the mushroom is that they are a true source of magic, and humans have been in relationship with mushrooms for as long as humans have been humans. 🙂
Mushrooms and one way or another have been linked to our spiritual consciousness
This is the source of our magic. Mushrooms, like so much of nature, allow us to be our own healers: By connecting us to what is real ;the source.
our adventure is to claim our authentic true being— to create culture that allows human beings to be human, connected to their medicine, intuitions, and landscape.
together let’s see what’s on the other side of the known into the unknown-to uncover who we are without the confines of a wasteful, isolating culture-
when we gather we heal. when we gather intentionally to create we make magic. when we gather and remember old skills to carry into the future we grow and nourish hope. there is always hope.
I’ve shared about how i’ve healed from ptsd, lived my life as a divorced single mother living with anxiety and unhealthy coping mechanisms-
Herbs and awareness have helped me propel my life as the creator that i am, that we all are.
I have guided dozens through flower essence journeys and am expanding my coaching services to support fellow trailblazers desiring to work through anxiety and depression, unlearn limiting beliefs, and rewrite an empowered new story line that honors their dreams, passions, and potentials.
I was a travelling teacher and researcher for 8 years. I taught a mushroom medicine class describing local medicinal species and their functional uses. In these classes i also taught about the psychedelic renaissance, ancient spirituality, and the mushroom’s role in the creation and religion. There was a special emphasis on amanita muscaira, and it’s role in ancestral mysticism.
I taught over a 1000 people in live lectures, workshops, and gatherings. I taught at festivals, conferences, private retreats, and hidden villages tucked into the forests.
I was honored to connect with so many kindred souls- i felt like alice in wonderland, following the clues to find invisible realms of cooperative humans.
Over the years i learned my energy does best at home in my garden. It was hard to stay home after years of saying -yes-, because FOMO, and missing inspiring friends, old and new.
And i miss teaching.
So i’m excited to announce that the mycelial paths course will be available as soon as it’s ready to share to the world—
i live in the sierra nevada footfills with the fungi and the trees – i have 3 children and a wild hearted partner. we grow a big garden, have 2 cats, 2 corgis, 14 ducks, and 1 goose. 🙂
