Hawthorn, a being of great generosity, abundance, teaching through firm love and.... boundaries. This story lived by me, a hawthorn tree, a powerful dreamer and a potent dream visitation by hawthorn herself has much to teach us about the what/why/how of authentic, integritous plant relationship. And that plants just might forgive our stumbles if we open up the channels within ourselves to allow communication to flow. This capacity is born out of a relationship with land, place, plant and dreams. I learned the hard way. Enjoy!

This episode is FUN! Bevin has been working as a healer and warrior of self-love for decades... "We are here to dismantle all forms of coloniality that make people unfree in the world," she jumps right into saying.  Bevin is a weaver who has given up on fighting systems and instead focuses on helping people free themselves from within. 

Bevin shares how her dreaming came online when her spirituality started waking up, beginning with nightmares when she was living in New York City. These dreams, she says, came to alert her that 1) she was being affected by the thin walls she was living in, 2) she was far more powerful than she realized and 3) she was doing more spiritual/energetic work when awake and asleep than she was aware of.

That experienced kicked off a spiritual awakening process that lead to Bevin developing strong practices of energy hygiene and spiritual protection including around dreaming and sleeping. She shares many of her favorite crystals, plants, prayers and meditations...

And that's just the tip of the iceberg that we explore together! Enjoy!

As so many of my learnings are, this one was inspired by observing my kids. We all know the old adage that what we think on grows... and this just might explain WHY, lullabies - a quiet, gentle song to sing us to sleep - is a practice found across the world and across time.  

We explore how protection is a web of love that we are embedded within, and the importance of having life-and-love-affirming beliefs about dreams... beliefs that affirm goodness, benevolence, beauty, soul, and interconnection. What we believe grows. What we think on as we are falling asleep influences our dreaming. We can bless ourselves and each other and this just might help shape our dreams.

My lullaby is also included in the episode.

Sweet dreams beloveds!

It was truly my honor to sit down with Grandmother Robin Youngblood in the Dream Barn to discuss the upcoming Dance to Heal the Earth in Chimacum, WA on Sept 5-8th 2025. 

Grandmother Robin shares how when she was under the mud and water in the Oso Mudslide of 2014 (the deadliest mudslide in human history) she heard Mother Earth scream that she didn't want this to happen, didn't want this mountain to come down, didn't want the animals and the people to be harmed. It was due to human error. Following the mudslide, Grandmother Robin was lead to bring forward Dance to Heal the Earth.  The dance is for everyone and everything, for restoring the balance of the masculine and feminine and celebrating joy and gratitude for all life, and for enacting what Mother Earth needs from us now. 

Grandmother Robin teaches us the importance of building community at the local level to support each other through the times that are here and and are coming.  She speaks of how we need to listen to the land, be reverent to the land, to ask the land what it wants before acting, just as all native people have always known and practiced - we aren't different from the land, we are the land. Grandmother Robin talks about the Hopi prophecy and how "we are the ones we've been waiting for," stresses the importance of finding out what our role is to play on behalf of Mother Earth and All Our Relations.

Why have we come here? What is this world? What is our purpose here? Have you ever shaken your fists screaming at the stars, or down to the Earth, or to the graves of your ancestors, or to the deities on your altar or to the hollow-feeling air... insisting for answers to the Great Mystery we incarnated into?

This episode is a dream, one that came through my (Lauren's) dream door where I was visited by the Great Bear constellation who gave me a riddle of an answer to these timeless soul-wrenching questions that plague us all.

Does dreaming solve the human experience? No. But does dreaming open our hearts, expand our creative capacity and satisfy our longing to be purposeful, helpful and a part of it all? Yes.

This episode is actually the first lesson in my Dreamweavers: Foundations Course. I'm offering it here for free because if you just implement what you learn here - it can change the course of your life for the better. 

I begin by setting the scene around where we are at in this collective moment: dreamers who have by and large, forgotten they came to this world with the power to dream.

We explore how dreaming is the final frontier in human consciousness - one of the last strongholds of terrain where our consciousness is not tracked, exploited and commodified in this age of algorithms. By turning towards our dreams we are making a declaration to these forces - NO! We are going to maintain our ability to dream the future. 

We explore how, as Albert Einstein said, we cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it. And this precise reason is WHY we need to dream - to find solutions to the many problems faced by the collective mind that has created the problems we are currently at the consequence of.

We will explore how the first step in our dreamweaving journey is to cultivate healthy soil on which to build the foundation of our dreamweaving practice.  So we explore beliefs to help grow this healthy soil - beliefs that are free from the overculture's grasp such as

dreams grow soul

dreams are love letters from source

dreams are a connection to the web of life and all of nature

dreams are messages from God.

We introduce the concept that in order for them to grow, dreams require our curiosity, interest and devotion.

Randy Morris is an elder, ritualist and Professor Emeritus of Antioch University. A gifted teacher and weaver of story, Randy is the perfect person to introduce us to the Dream of the Earth. He dives right into teaching us that the Dream of the Earth communicates to us through our instincts, feelings, synchronicities, waking visions and nighttime dreams. These are instructions from her on what is ours to do to heal the whole system, which is her whole body. 

In this time of collective initiation, the dark night of the species soul, where as Randy says, no less than a new human is being born... dreams are here for us. Randy has been walking with dreams for 50+ years. He says dreams have never let him down, proving time again that they love us unconditionally and want us to do the work that we were sent here to do. Dreams are the best compass he's found to figuring out why he came. I couldn't agree more.   

Randy spent early years in Hiroshima, Japan where it became crystal clear to him that all we do affects future generations. Since then his life has been fueled by a prayer to support future generations. His life is an inspiration and testament to what's possible for us all. Enjoy!

No dream ever means just one thing, and yet our task as awake humans on the other side of dreaming's door is to seek, make, and ultimately weave a meaning that is helpful and soulful into this world. How do we go about figuring out what dreams mean? This episode covers the ever-important AHA! of dreamwork. When we are consulting the Council Table of Life, our bodies inform us of when we are in the presence of truth, resonance and the flow of Spirit.

Many herbalists know Comfrey's other common name Knit Bone... but have we paused to consider what this means on the other-than-physical layers of our being? In this episode we explore 3 different dreams featuring Comfrey to flush out just how deeply this plant knits and reweaves the threads of creation.

Receive teachings and inspiration from wisdom keeper Dr. Deborah Frances Dancing Crow on how to align with the flow of life. Dancing Crow begins by exploring how we are quite a complainy culture... and stresses the importance of giving thanks. She shares a gratitude ceremony involving water and the four directions, counseling us to greet the sun every morming, giving thanks to the rising sun and feeding the spirits. 

Dancing Crow shares her story from 1999 when Spirit suddenly and insistently told her in a visionary state that "in the coming times it is absolutely critical to Dream the Good Dream. No matter how dire things may seem environmentally, politically, socially and personally... it is absolutely important to Dream Beauty."  She shares how the plant hawthorn can help us open our hearts to relationship with Nature and All of Life.

For the world to heal, she says, we MUST connect to our hearts. Nature is the place to practice vulnerability and authenticity. It is the place our hearts will be healed. Any time in the presence of this beloved Earth elder is a precious gift, and this episode is no exception. Enjoy!
