News — Inner Traditions

Writing this book has been a labor of love. I have always been enchanted with plants in their many glorious forms, although I primarily interacted with them through story, archetypes, myth, scent, and vibration. I have been a certified aromatherapist and practicing flower essence practitioner for many years, so I primarily  experienced the plant kingdoms vibrancy in little bottles and potions.   

As nature is won't to do, she nudged me along along to a different path. She was ready for me to experience her in a new way. A very hands on way. She opened the gate to a charming farmette in Oregon. I answered the call with enthusiasm! And I was able to get my hands dirty for the first time. I fell in love with gardening, foraging, and wild crafting. I am able to keep ducks and a goose (I only keep one) as she is my faithful companion and partner in farm shenanigans.   

This became my moving meditation: taking care of my plant family and learning from them; walking with their wild cousins looking for nettle, mushrooms and fiddle head ferns. As I did so they started to whisper in my ear and heart and soon this book started to unfold for me. 

I cannot not take credit for this wonderful synopsis. Inner Traditions incredible editorial staff did a bang up job of summing up my work! 

From the bottom of my heart I am happy to share this work with you. 

With love,
