Humanity is standing in the threshold; that space in an initiation or rite of passage that is betwixt and between. The threshold time in a process of transformation is precisely the juncture when the self, as she has known herself to be, has shed her old skin, but does not yet know what form her new skin will take.
Standing in this place betwixt is, in every sense of the word, unknown. The sacrifice of an initiation is that we do not know who or what will emerge from the other side. We don't even know, in a very literal sense, if we will emerge at all. What does an individual or a community or a nation or a planet do at such a juncture?
We pull from new sources of wisdom, power and inspiration.
We dream.
Dreams provide the building blocks that architect our way out and through the keyhole of rebirth.
Let's dream our way through the threshold, together.

Dreaming does not exist in a vacuum, it's in no way separate from the rest of our lives and psyches. Dreaming is trying to help the waking life... but what do I mean by help?
In this episode we explore how I belive that dreaming is trying to help you fulfill the reason that you came here to this world, to aid your spiritual evolution, to grow your healing. Dreaming wants to help you soften ever more into love's embrace...
But all of this only occurs if we believe it to be so. This episode deepens our exploration of how what we believe about dreams, and life, matters in the meaning we make from dreams and the steps we take to weave them.
I dive into a few more of my core beliefs about life and dreams including how:
- We, all human beings and all life, are all related. We are family and we are in this together.
- Dreams are, as Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes says a letter from home that come to awaken us.
- Dreams, and the meaning we make from them, should make us more loving, kind, warm and helpful.

Join Kimberly Gallagher and I as we share the origin story of our collaboration on the upcoming course Rhythms and Relationships: A Feminine Way into Herbalism.
Spoiler alert: the project was seeded in a dream. The dream involved a puppy that we were to raise together... May this story water seeds of inspiration in your heart to turn your attention in dreaming's direction and be foolish (brave?) enough to give weaving it a go!
Kimberly also shares with us why this work matters in uncertain times, speaking to:

This episode is a love note to the inner feminine and a prayer to bring balance to the masculine and feminine within our selves, our communities and our world. Restoring this balance begins, as always, first within our own minds and hearts.
Join me on a journey to explore the state of the relational dance between these inner forces, while examining how much value, or lack of value, your feminine has been receiving.
Oftentimes a pattern of devaluing her has been with us for years, decades, lifetimes and generations. This was certainly the case for me. But as I share, these capacities reawoke with the gift of my attention, my intention, a wee bit of instruction and permission by teachers, the plants and Nature herself.
Here's my permission to you to re-awaken the superpowers of the feminine, including:
Re-enthroning these capacities are, in my estimation, a primary task of modern human beings to move through the collective birth portal and into a deeper embodied experience of our interconnectedness.
I'm also thrilled to announce a new upcoming course Rhythms and Relationships: A Feminine Way into Herbalism offered through Learning Herbs with my beautiful friend and colleague Kimberly Gallagher. Here's the link to early bird register with 10% off!

This episode is a blessing and a prayer to the summer in your heart. Having just crossed into the season on the heels of a solstice that felt like sweet medicine, I reflect on the turning of the wheel and the particular gift this time of year offers: permission to revel in the warmth, the light, and the beauty, and to shine your fullest, most authentic self.
This is, in fact, exactly what life needs from us. To be and create Beauty.
Join me as we reclaim Beauty from the narrow clutches of the dominant culture and return it to what the flowers have always known - that beauty blossoms from within and inspires life to grow outside of itself. For this dream world of Mother Earth to remain a beautiful one - it requires each one of US to boldly shine as the unique vibration of creation that we are.
Blessed be your Beauty, dear ones! And thank you for the medicine that you are!

Kris Haraldson is an herbalist, shadow work coach, teacher, healer and general badass who loves helping women wake up to realizing they don't need to be anyone other than who they are. Kris walks us through her early quest to understand stories about women, how we conceptualize ourselves and how we can break free. Her life has been guided by the questions:
Kris was in the throes of studying psychology in a very cerebral academic setting when she started having visions that she had no context for. Sitting in her graduate classes flashes of quietly gathering plant medicines while feeling at peace and connected filled her mind's eye.
This eventually lead to Goddess worship which helped her reconstruct an identity of womanhood that included the arts of herbalism, shamanism, energy work and intuitive work. Her experiences blew open her little researcher brain in ways she could not explain. It rooted her into her body then guided her into the terrain of shadow work.
We also dive deep on:
Enjoy my friends!

Join Alyssa Mancini of Herbs, Love and Yoga as we dive into the ancient and nourishing undercurrents beneath herbalism and what it truly means to heal.
As a community herbalist apothecary owner, Alyssa has a unique insider's view on the currents in herbal healing and collective consciousness. With so much info out there on herbal medicine right now, Alyssa advises us to instead - go down the path of embodiment. "You could have all the knowledge in the world between your two ears but if you are not actually embodying walking with the plants and trying them - not much of true substance will be gained." We explore how much of what the holistic healing spaces teach us is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing, and the wise woman way of nourishment is often the answer.

Join my conversation with the grounded and wise Whitney Popham of the School of Evolutionary Herbalism. Whitney's words are like a breath of fresh air, cutting through the superficial chatter that fills so much of today's spaces. Truly, I invite you to listen deeply to her words. I predict their simple wisdom will become more and more *absolutely essential* and rare, in the days to come.
Whitney desribes a profound moment with motherwort where she knew, "If I want to help the world I have to help myself" and "this (herbalism) is what i'm supposed to do." Whitney shares how her connection to the land as a farmer and grower, and her mothering, syncs her up to her ancestors, the rhythm of the land and an older way of life.
She reminds us the importance of working with our hands as herbalists and how plants connect us to something real, something older. How the more grounded, practical things we can do with our hands will nourish us in ways that looking something up online cannot. She shares how the plants you're taking will reach in and touch you deeply, touch your heart and your mind and cause a ripple effect.
Whitney's words are like a warm cup of chamomile tea after a harrowing day of frayed nerves and mishaps. This woman is MEDICINE - and I urge you to listen with your deeper ears to what she is sharing. Then share it with your people.
