Here’s the thing no one tells you about harvesting:
You don’t choose the leaves…
the leaves choose you. ✨

Most people harvest with their hands.
But the real medicine comes from listening with your heart.

Tulsi loves the sun,
and when she hasn’t received it, she speaks through her leaves.
Some are fading, softening…
not fully vibrant, not fully gone.

So what do you do?
Keep or compost?

I let the plant decide.

I slow down.
I breathe.
I tune in.
And I ask each leaf:

“Where do you want to go?”
“Are you medicine… or are you compost today?”

It’s such a simple practice—
and yet it changes everything.

Because this is more than herbalism.
It’s relationship.
It’s reverence.
It’s humility—acknowledging we don’t always know best.

It’s remembering that every leaf carries spirit.
Every leaf has a choice.

And when we listen,
the medicine becomes deeper, clearer, more alive.

The plant leads.
We follow.

Traveling always leaves me feeling ungrounded. But the moment I’m with my plants again, I feel myself returning—returning to my heart, connecting deeper with my soul, and feeling nourished by Mother Earth’s presence.

I travel to connect with loved ones, to embrace new experiences, to wander through art and train museums with my daughter, and to step back and gain fresh perspective. As we try to cram a year’s worth of visits and celebrations into a month, I’m both grateful and exhausted. Grateful to feel so supported, seen, and connected to my States-side family, and exhausted from being in climate-controlled, concrete-filled, often sterile spaces.

There’s something about coming home, to the familiar rhythm of nature—putting my feet in the soil, watching the birds soar overhead, and hearing the whispers of the plants—that re-centers me like nothing else.

Now, renewed and realigned, I’m ready to dive back into my life here in the jungle. In just two weeks, Solin and I will begin the next Alchemizing the Elements course. It’s a chance to deepen our connection to Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether, to transform alongside nature’s wisdom.

I can’t wait to share this sacred space with our beautiful students, to grow and evolve together.

Are you feeling called to join us? We recently had two students (sisters) drop out due to family health.

Are you a last-minute adventurer craving a deeper connection with nature and your soul? Are you a lightworker ready to step deeper into your calling?

Join us!

“I didn’t realize plants are more than phytochemicals.”

I heard this at our most recent class in Pavones. To be honest, I hear it a LOT after our tea workshops.

And, to be really honest, I probably said these exact words myself when I first began my plant and herbal journey 20 years ago.

When we approach things from a masculine (fire + air) perspective, we’re taught that facts, data, and proof are what matter most.

We want to take things to labs, testing traditions and indigenous knowledge over and over again to verify their validity.

But when we shift into the feminine (water +earth) way of working with plants, we connect with them as friends and teachers.

🌸We invite them to communicate—not through repeatable data analysis, but through their energy and spirit.🌸

In our tea classes, we work with six teas. (Any more would be an energetic roller coaster!Students taste the teas blindly, then I guide them into a meditation to help them drop into their heart and find stillness.

💖With each plant, we invite in its energy and wisdom. As we connect, heal, find answers, and uncover truth.💖

Time and time again, students are amazed by how much they FEEL. Their awareness shifts, the way they see plants changes, and often, I hear: “I feel like I should work with this plant in a way I’ve never read about!”

For millions of years, humans have had deep, energetic relationships with plants. They didn’t depend on books or data. Now, we are returning to that ancient wisdom.

So, I invite you to reflect on how you work with plants:

When can you pause?
When can you drop deeper into your heart?
When can you invite a plant’s energy in?
When can you simply listen and feel?
When can you treat the plant are a best friend?

✨Are you ready to step into this deeper relationship with plants and be a part of this evolution?

✨The plants are waiting to guide us—are you ready to listen?

Join us for two opportunities next year 🌿

Join us for a deep transformative workshop this week.

We are keeping this gathering intimate with maximum 12 participants. We only have 2 spots left.

We will be diving deep into indigenous culture and wisdom with Solin and FEELing the energy of plants and the elements with Kealy. (Kealy might even throw in one of her famously powerful guided meditations!)
