Awakening Artemis Plant Walk
Online June 4th
We’re surrounded by extraordinary plant life wherever we are. When we learn about the medicine, lore, and ecology of local flora and fungi, we deepen our relationship with the land and awaken to the wonder of nature.
You’re invited to join me for an online walk that will focus on the wild plants and fungi featured in my new book, Awakening Artemis: Deepening Intimacy With The Living Earth and Reclaiming Our Wild Nature.Â
Through relationships with individual plants, we are often moved to take better care of ourselves, these species, and the spaces we share with them
Bring your copy of Awakening Artemis to the online walk for notes, and to follow along.Â
This class will be live on Zoom. Join me with your journal and favorite herbal tea.

I have been exploring the rich and nourishing ecosystem of memories, perspectives, cultural seeds, divine feminine strength, fearless honesty, compassion, plant knowledge/acknowledgment and courage that dwell in the pages of Awakening Artemis and it has been an inspiring, thought provoking, heart breaking, heart healing, heart opening, motivational and resplendent experience. I have had tears pouring down my face at least 5 times and I have only now reached the chapter on metamorphosis.
As I read the stories you share from your formative years feel like I am seeing my own childhood through the eyes of a little girl. I had a similar reaction to the animals caged at the zoo (for me it was the orcas), I also spent countless hours exploring in the forests and creeks near my childhood home (in Whistler, BC) listened to the voice of the streams, the trees and rocks came up against a similar brick wall when asking the questions that adults and teachers did not want to consider (whether it was questioning the rationality of religion, asking if trees and rivers could have a spirit or questioning the dogmas of stagnated patriarchal views disguised as "science"). I also had to deal with some abuse from my early years later in life after pressing it down and not allowing the wound(s) to heal and I also now strive to give a voice to the voiceless (with ancient rooted beings often at the heart of my activism, peaceful resistance and educational endeavors).
It has been very profound and cathartic to read your words, so imbued with the same love I have always felt for our Mother Earth, to see the world again through the eyes of my 7 year old self, you helped me remember things I have not in years. What a magical gift, to feel comradery across space, time and despite physical differences through a mirroring journey like this.
Thank you for the service you do to our human and more than human family through your sacred works. I am especially grateful for the medicine you provide for men, through your standing tall, fierce, setting boundaries and yet also embodying the nourishing, compassionate, beautiful, soft and open hearted aspects of the divine feminine.
Thank you for the holistic and multi-faceted medicine you provide this world sister.
this will be so wonderful!
