ReConnect with Plant Wisdom

Spirituality is a term frequently mentioned, sometimes in a superficial manner. In Damanhur, the spiritual community I have been living in for almost 15 years, it signifies giving purpose to life, understanding your soul mission in the universe, choosing your own path consciously, and so much more. Follow along with my conversation with long-time Damanhurian Gnomo Orzo as we explore the meaning of...

Super fun conversation with Tritone Crisantemo about how he stumbled into plant music and the birth of Masterplants Symphony. It's fascinating to hear how interspecies collaborations have evolved and where we are going next. There is so much more that comes out in this conversation. Let me know your thoughts in the comments and in NCC. And remember to support Tritone and plant musicians! About Tri...

This is a very difficult episode to share, but I know this message is important. If you, like me, have an innate fear of death, then come a little closer and listen carefully. I want to share with you how the plants have helped me face my fear. And I hope that you allow kin to do the same for you. I dedicate this episode to my inspirational friend, sister, and fellow Knight, Aquila di mare Curcuma...

What a fantastic conversation with Sydney Kale about her personal experiences in co-authorship with plants and how the vegetal mind relates with language. In our Sprouts Writing & Creativity Group, we stretch ourselves every week to find new ways to create with plants, challenging human perspectives. Sydney stresses the importance of acknowledging plants' expertise and perspectives in academic...

Bear with me on this one; it is not always easy to put what the plants have taught me into human words, especially when we are taking about the evolution of Homo sapiens! In this episode, I challenge many of the societal norms and expectations we have around what makes us human. What exactly is the human species and why are sapiens the only ones left? Could it be that humanity actively prevents th...

Humans have a body part that makes us feel privileged, but more often than not, it makes it too easy to avoid things. Plants, not having these same appendages, want us to stop running away! In this episode, I share insights from Biomimicry and Ecosystem Thinking that create a more inclusive and dynamic environment, even in your own mind. Recognizing the cyclical nature of change and the interconne...

Like many multipotentialites, having vast experience makes it hard to find a succinct title for who you are and what you do. Today, I've fallen in love with being a Nature-Inspired Mentor and Life Coach, but getting there was a journey. I found terms like 'leadership' and 'evolution' misunderstood, making me go back to the roots of how I want to be of service: helping individuals create the condit...

Somebody PINCH ME!!!! 🤩 It’s FINALLY here and I’m jumping up and down in my seat that I get to share this with you! The Divine Science Series is now LIVE on Gaia!

In this episode, I share with you my personal experience from idea to success, emphasizing the impor...

Plants have a unique perspective on time, with the ability to access memories stored in Deep Time from different periods of Earth’s history. Understanding and reconnecting to your vegetality, with the help of plant friends, gives you access to these memories and how plants are able to move through the fabric of time. Drawing from Spiritual Physics and other spiritual practices, let’s travel throug...

Relationships… we all have them, so why are they so hard to navigate? We can talk about emotional intelligence and personal needs, but I wonder if the struggle is because we have such a limited view of what a relationship even is? Rather than going to human friends for relationship advice, in this episode, we explore what plants show us about the nature of relationships. Pulling from ecological dy...

Creating intimacy is a challenge in any context, especially online. What does it take to create a safe space where you can open yourself to sharing and receiving with radical honesty? In this episode, I share with you how and why we need places for passionate life support. If you're here, I have no doubt that you don't think or act like everyone else. And this can be scary. Bringing plants into th...

Throughout my life, I have had some pretty radical identity shifts. At the soul level, you easily find that I am the same person I have always been. Yet at the personality level, I have evolved leaps and bounds. Although I have been on a journey of self-development for as long as I can remember, it was the plants that game me the crucial pieces necessary for me to go from logical shift to emotiona...

SoulCollage® has been floating around me for many years. I love the idea of creating individual cards to represent different aspects of myself, my community, and my relationships. If you've never heard of SoulCollage cards, and even if you have tried it, you're in for a real treat with Lucy Schaaphok, a long-time trainer and facilitator of this technique. In this discussion we dive into how "know...

When I asked Laurie Baker to sit down and speak with me, I knew the conversation would be riveting. Her experience turned wisdom on natural spirituality, healing, caregiving, journalism, women’s studies, writing, acting, storytelling, swimming, ritual… give you ample space to think and feel without the traditional constraints. In this conversation, we organically move through the different phases...

In this solo episode, I share with you the passion I have for why I do what I do, and more importantly, how I do it specifically to maximize your evolution! I could be doing so many different things: biomimicry, biophilic design, spiritual teacher, technology manager, circus owner… But then I discovered how much more rewarding it is to work directly with plants and people, helping them to connect...

Plants, interconnectivity, and how to heal ourselves, our community, and the Earth… every time I sit down with Ashley Stokes, the conversation flows without end. As a documentary filmmaker, we first spoke for a new project she is working on. This time, I got to do the questioning as we talking about how to find your flow. Throughout the conversation, you will hear about our personal experiences fi...

There is so much I want to tell you about this episode about passion. When Kim Gross asked me to be on her 'Masks Off for People Pleasers and Profectionists' podcast, I wasn't sure what would come out. The discussion was just so powerful, I asked if I could rebroadcast it here. I share candidly my own journey of dimming my light in childhood and what it took me to eventually reconnect with my True...

Be honest, how often do you wonder if the only way to pay the bills is to focus on one thing, and one thing only? As a creative multipotatialite, society almost instills in us. But my guest today is here with me to help you understand why that thought is simply a conditioned myth! Please welcome Veronica Chordas from Wanderlust Custom Design. We discuss the value of pursuing multiple passions and...

This is another one of those episodes that will make you go hmmmm. Nandini Gosine-Mayrhoo and I discuss our personal experiences as double immigrants. We explore the fluidity of natural borders and the importance of embracing cultural differences, while never losing our own familial cultures. Only in this way, can we avoid becoming invasive species, and instead embrace naturalization. Adapting to...

Join me and Anné Klint from Born to Flourish in this fascinating discussion about shifting into a new Earth paradigm out of competition and into cooperation. This all starts with radical acceptance, and plants are the ultimate allies to help you accept who you are. Throughout our chat, we discuss how plants help you step into presence and the role of plants in healing trauma and guilt. Anné Klint...

The Damanhur Mystery School is a one-of-a-kind program that offers a comprehensive and experiential exploration of Life, in all its form. And who better to share these mysteries with us, than the director of the school, Crotalo Sesamo. From a young age, Crotalo nurtured a passion for archeology, natural medicine and esoteric studies—eventually meeting, at age 18, the visionary founder of Damanhur,...

There are so many ways to get ready for a new year. Achievements to acknowledge, goals to set, limiting beliefs to focus on, intentions to desire... How do you get ready for a new year? One way I find clarity is with a Botanical Tarot Card Reading. These are not your traditional tarot deck. There is nothing traditional about them. They are portals that allow plants to communicate their wisdom dire...

What exactly are the Epagomenal days and why is it so important for you to use them wisely? I am sure that is a question you are asking yourself right now. Unless you're a scholar of Egyptian Mythology, you may have never heard of these very special days out of time. These days are ideal for giving birth to new projects. They were created especially for this purpose: to protect the birth of divini...

I was recently asked if I have eco-anxiety, and to be honest, I had to think about. Rather than trying to sum up my feelings in a neat little post, which would be super reductive, I thought it better to come here and discuss this with you. In this episode, I walk you through how I deal with the impact of eco-anxiety and find the path to eco-empowerment by leaning into my spirituality and connectio...

Have you ever found yourself in the crossroads of not wanting to participate in the mainstream system and needing to run a business or buy things for daily life?
