Tending to the Plants in this way brings many Teachings for us to receive, as well as healing & harmony rippling out to all our Relations as we remember. Honouring our responsibilities to the Land.

This offering is shared through my lens as a mixed White + Native Yakama, Irish & Eastern European person. Much of what I share has been gifted through experience & directly from the Plants, Dreamtime, and tending to them over the years as well as Naturopathic Doctor training, human Teachers & gardening with my parents, and Grandparents.
