In May I made way to one of my nourish places on this planet.
Vancouver Island, British Columbia Canada.
There a worldly group gathered to attend the incomparable Sabina Pettitt’s Five Elements Course and to say hello to her extensive essence collection of the Flora & Fauna of this Pacific Northwest archipelago.
Primordial forests meet stone polished coastline and strait that is known as the Salish Sea and empties it’s goodness into the Pacific Ocean.
Being a plant obsessed human most of my life, my focus on this trip was to absorb as much plant intelligence and to rewire my over provoked,
soggy urban brain.
It became evident, as I walked the shoreline, forests and immersed into our thought provoking course; that plants, minerals and fauna are Humans best teachers.
Humans, if we choose an ounce of the silent, subtlety perceived
and rapid adaptability of our natural friends,
I am certain that we will survive.
We have made a business out of minding the (relentless) gaps of daily living.
Flora and Fauna minds change with organic intelligence and focusing on what isn’t is not a part of their consciousness.
Their navigation ingredients are always earth and heaven.
While our circadian rhythm has gone sideways from device reliance.
The panacea?
Got Nature?
Go outside…..even for a a few minutes to sync up with Earth and Heaven.
You will feel the shift and
for that choice,
be way way smarter!

OM ~ wards!

**Looking North, the Salish Sea, on the horizon the tip of the Olympic range and past that the Pacific Ocean.**

The delicate yet mighty Lady Fern; Athyrium filix - femina var. cyclosorum
She called to me as I walked down the cloistered path to the sea.
”We choose you to be our witness to how we heal.”

Away our group ventured into the forest, sea and sky.
Gifts from Flora and Fauna surrounded us.
For 24 hours we sought enlightenment from our teachers.
We made essences to assist our path back to our place in the natural world.
Our opportunity to let go.
Dive in,
to the healing intelligence of flora & fauna.

Here is Lady Fern’s gift to us in essence as she messaged me during my meditation.

We quietly unfurl our soft yet directive fronds under the moist dense canopy of this coastal forest.
Call upon ancestors and our families now; Salish, Nuu-chah-nulth, Kwak waka’wakw.
Sisters Brothers
relieve the psychic and physical pain that binds you to your
less than path.
Stride with confidence
as each of our fronds will point you to your true North.
Nourished by our stipe that is secure to The Mother.
Directive and strong our are rachis that is the midline that points you forward
and to The Father
and our Sun.
We hear your pain.
We experience your tears.
We transmute your sorrows.
As the dew dries upon our faces.
We are clear, bright and stringent.
Our gift is to cleanse, fortify and softly direct your physical pain
to let go to wash away.
We code on the subtle planes protection for you.
Heaven dances on each frond.
Breathe in.
Sip quietly,

As above
so below
We are truly one.
