Tanya Pluth learned to consciously select and work with crystals and stones while apprenticing for 8 years with a shaman, pairing stones as tools for healing, ceremony, and sacred purposes. Tanya applies her musical training and “ear” when pairing people with stones, utilizing a core aspect of her intuitive abilities: “hearing” energies and information through subtle vibration and resonance. Tanya offers consultations for those seeking to find crystals and stones of unique quality and power. Grove of Stones’ crystals and minerals come from sustainable sources, with Tanya digging her own material whenever possible. Where she is unable to travel to dig her own crystals, Tanya chooses suppliers whose practices align with her commitment to sustainability and sacred-handling.

In addition to her work with crystals and stones, Tanya offers workshops, spiritual counseling, and energetic healing for people, spaces, and pets. Tanya began studying spirituality and healing arts in the 1990s and has worked as a teacher/healer for over 15 years drawing from her studies in Buddhism, Shamanism, and Druidry. Tanya’s initiation became official in the winter of 2013, when welcoming the sunrise in company with 8 snowy owls. The whole story is available at Tanya’s spirituality and nature photography blog, Urbane Wild (www.urbanewild.com).

As a writer and musician, Tanya’s work explores issues of spirituality, identity, and difference. Her self-produced CD, Saving Graces, was nominated for 4 Pride in the Arts awards, including Song of the Year. Tanya’s life-long study of music supported her healing gifts, as the energy of music and the energies of healing are one and the same.
