In this episode of The Enchanted Earth Podcast, Maureen chats with guest Hope Fitzgerald, author and fellow dowser, about her exploration of and working with energy fields in 10th dimensional consciousness. The Infinity Wave, which was revealed to Hope in a series of visions, helps to accelerate personal and global spiritual evolution. Working with the landscape and the human heart opens a deep alchemical process. Hope shares a story of a pair of 300-year-old trees that reached out to her for other-than-human connection. 

About Hope Fitzgerald
Since 2010, Hope has been passionately sharing "The Infinity Wave," a 10th-dimensional energy tool revealed to her in a series of visions, to accelerate personal and global spiritual evolution, and increase joy and freedom even during tumultuous times. Her recent bestselling book, The Infinity Wave: Mastering the Art of Love, Compassion and Flow, describes the Wave’s astounding arrival and the ensuing lessons it brought. She’s conducted workshops on this powerful energy, appeared on multiple global platforms, and, thanks to the Wave’s influence, has developed into a channel for a wide range of etheric masters.

As a dedicated spiritual guide for decades, Hope uses Intuitive Dowsing to empower clients with rapid life insights and transformations. Additionally, she serves as an energy healer, a certified Neurofeedback Practitioner, and a Death Doula, integrating sound, Reiki, and essential oils into her work.

Hope also leads groups annually to potent sites around the world to teach the art of communicating with landscapes, believing that when the powerhouse of the human heart interacts with a highly charged site, an alchemy occurs that can create a profound shift in consciousness.

In addition, Hope collaborates with Emmy Award winning composer, Gary Malkin, on You, Awake: Mastering the Art of Change and Graceful Passages: From Grief to Gratitude, which are workshops geared to provide shifts in perspective about how to navigate change and loss in chaotic times.
