Co-Creating a New World
Co-Creating with Nature to Heal Water
The Nature Spirits of Heart Springs Sanctuary insistently highlighted an area of focus, which was counter to my desires. Over time, I realized that they were right, even when what they were asking for seemed as if it was far beyond my abilities. Through their guidance and some much needed human assistance, we completed the beginning of a large rain garden project who’s purpose is to transmute fear and anger into Love, slow the run-off from our neighbor’s field, and capture the soil and fertilizer before going into the creek.
Read MoreAre We Listening: Three Guidelines for Communicating with All Species
Through teaching Plant communication for nearly 20 years, I’ve noticed that many people struggle to communicate in general. Here are three guidelines for improving your communication with ALL species.
Read MoreA Revolution of Love
We can begin our love affair with Nature by starting with appreciation. Allowing our Hearts to open. From this magical place, we then can listen to the wisdom and guidance that Nature has to offer.
Read MoreInvasive Plants From Foe to Friend
What I do know is that assuming we know what is right and pulling the invaders without asking the Plants or the Land continues the domination paradigm. This is why I feel that if we want to be good stewards and really stand in our role as part of Nature, it is imperative that we learn how to communicate with Nature.
Beings of Symbiosis
I think the real question is “What is OUR reason for existence?” Every aspect of Nature has a role, a purpose. We have learned this the hard way, by removing unwanted Beings (like Wolves) and seeing how greatly this changed the wellbeing of an ecosystem. Nature does not waste. Since we are, whether we realize it or not, part of Nature, this means that we too are here for a reason.
Read MoreHonoring Nature Spirits
Healing our connection with Nature and Nature Spirits is imperative at this time. We can see the destruction humans have caused and are only beginning to realize the consequences of our actions. Fortunately, we are awakening to our need of changing this pattern and re-membering our innate connection with Nature. The Nature Spirits are our best guides to help us navigate the changes and show us how to return to balance. We need them more than ever!
Read MoreA Better Place
I met one of the great Loves of my life in 2003, the Land that became known as Windy Hill Farm. I fell in love when I first stepped onto this Land (as did everyone who was with me). When I left my marriage in 2012, I knew that that meant I would need to leave the Land. I struggled greatly with this; however, all my guides kept telling me that there was a place that was better for me.
Read MoreThe Awakening of the Seeds
As we look at the state of the world today, it is not hard to see that humans are living a life out of balance with Nature. People often refer to this as humans are separated from Nature. However, it is impossible to be separated from something that you are. We simply have forgotten. If we want to continue, we need to remember, remember that we are connected to all.
Read MoreCreating Potential
Being in Damanhur this time was a vacation for my Heart and Soul. It was a break from the limiting beliefs that are infused in our culture. As well as, a break from the discord. As I mentioned, in Damanhur everyone is focused on being their best. This does not come from morality or righteousness. It is that they want to learn and grow and be who they are meant to be. They focus on the vision of a better world, a world where we are again in alignment with the Trees and Nature Spirits. I know how important it is to release limiting beliefs and focus on the solution. I do this daily and help my clients and students to do this. And yet, when you are surrounded by a culture that supports this, an enormous amount of energy is freed up and suddenly, you are able to create the impossible or I would say the potential.
I know that there are many challenges facing humanity. I know that one’s Heart could break a thousand times a day. I know that it can be very seductive and easy to be taken under by the tide of hopelessness. And yet, I look at Damanhur. And I look to the Dandelions sprouting out in the cracks of the macadam. Or the Redwoods who continue to grow even though they’ve been hollowed out by fire. And I think, “We are here!” As long as we are here, there is still hope. There is potential.

It has been nearly a year since I moved to what I now know as Heart Springs Sanctuary and slightly longer since I started working with the Nature Spirits of this place. For years I longed for a place to call Home, a place to work with the Elementals to create a Sanctuary. And here…
