Pussy Healing is Earth Healing
I’m passionate about earth healing. It is, in many ways, my reason for being. You’re here because, most likely, it’s part of your passion too. Somewhere deep in your heart, you know that you are here on this earth to help the healing. And that it starts with reconnection. Over the past few weeks I’ve written…
How to Become Creatively Unstoppable
All of us have ideas, creations that want to be birthed through us. Visions of the future that make us shiver. Sometimes ideas come and go in a wine-happy evening. Others last a decade. But each and every one of us is like a garden, and as the seasons turn, ideas seem to come…
The Most Personal Thing I’ve Ever Written
Honesty is its own kind of medicine. When we’re honest about our journeys, we open the way for others to step into their own truth.

How to Make a Flower Essence
The first time I ever opened a book about flower essences I cried. Tears just sprang out of my eyes— not out of sadness per say, but out of a deep well of recognition. I remember I was sitting in the near darkness in my room in Brooklyn, a long boxcar of a space…
You are Seen
Learning how to see the world is a precious experience indeed. To be able to pick out the plants by name, to notice the dandelions and the chickweed, to delight in the specific history of things. For so long in the western world our human narrative has been distanced from that of the landscape’s. Like…
