where creativity and ecology meet.
Embedded Files
Where art, ecology, and magic are integrated to awaken our inner curiosity about the sacred planet we live on and the species that occupy it with us. Through nature education, fairy-inspired arts, therapeutic horticulture, and heart-centered group gatherings, I guide people to (re)connect with the natural world and (re)develop their sense of belonging in the interdependent web of life.
Together, we can learn to navigate the challenges of this life by taking time to restore our trust in community, rely on our plant allies, (re)turn to nature and (re)build our kinship connections.
