Be Wild

This page is to share thoughts, recipes and teachings from wild plants, and how they used to be prepared in ancient traditions.

I intend to share what my work as a herbalist and a massage therapist is all about!

* Big news *

I'm leaving New Zealand for good in May... returning to my home, lovely France, after 10 years spent here. I am so excited for what will unfold.✨️

A big decision to take, as it has been such an honour and a delight to be here. The land certainly holds something words can't very well describe. And the people. Deep in my heart.

In these two months ahead, I will be touring the festivals with my herbal remedies, massages and ConTact CARE.

I'll also hold a final Herbal Medicine Retreat, "Into the Green Fabric of the World", sharing all my transmissions from the plants and trees of Aotearoa, in the hope that what has been passed to me will not be lost. 🌿💚
https://manaretreat.com/event/a-herbal-medicine-retreat/
I'll also hold a few workshops, and a wellbeing retreat (dates and places below).

Please feel free to attend any of these, come to me at the festivals, or visit Coromandel... I'd love to see you and exchange a hug!

Until then, be sure I love you. Be well. Be wild. And happy. ❤️

*Space and Sound*

What is the sound that first sounds in a space? What words or song do we first share after silence?

When we gather together as a group of people, there is a powerful potential arising from just us coming together with the same intention. The words we share matter. The sounds we make matter. The receiving ears matter. Our voices and images. They are the first to express in matter our thoughts and dreams. They are the spell. The start of creation.

It is through this channel that Plants communicate with us. When we make silence in ourselves, we are able to hear them, their vibration. This is how we can find the plants we need, and create potent medicines, not only with their active ingredients, but also with their most delicate blueprint.

Whats more, in South America, maestros sing the "icaros", singing the vibrations of the plants through singing prayers. These songs activate the medicine of plants in our bodies. They are part of the medicine.

When I make herbal medicine, I love to say a few words to the plants, I sometime sing. I pray the beauty of the plant, I say out loud her beauty. Because naming the beauty of a plant opens our heart and allows us to already receive her medicine.

In my upcoming Herbal Medicine Retreat, we'll be getting into the fabulous world of plant communication, to make vibrant herbal medicine. With my dear friend and musician Matthew Pike on board, we'll also be exploring how sound and vibration activate the medicine of plants in us, opening to deeper healing.

The many saveurs of summer ☀️

With the summer solstice and the new year passed, it seems like we're entering in a brand new phase, a delectable peace. The garden seems to sigh for the first time in a while, and the warmth is enveloping us with a nice sense of ease. We can finally relax and taste summer...

And it tastes delicious...

Distilling Rosemary, infusing my Fire oil, watching the summer flowers colour the oils through the Sun's kiss, resting on the beach, feeling the warmth and the midday pause...breathing memories...im becoming sweeter by the minute!...

It's all in preparation for this late summer programme, my annual festival and retreats tour:
- 27 Feb-3rd March: Hakea gathering (Raglan) & Herbal toolkit workshop
- 10-12th March: Into the Green, Herbal Medicine Retreat at Mana Retreat Center (Coromandel)

✨️☀️Solstice☀️✨️

Once again, i am feeling very nourished after holding a wonderful ceremony at Mana yesterday.
In the midst of the pre-solstice acceleration, we managed to gather and create what looks to me like a flower fire! 🌸 And we journeyed with Chamomile and Wild Carrot to prepare for the solstice. What a perfect way to honour the land, share some herbal stories, and honour ourselves...

Sol-stice ~ literally Sun - static

Just before the summer solstice, there is always this incredible acceleration of life, it's like the whole world is getting a boost of energy, up until the Solstice on the 22nd December. Then the Sun stations at its highest point in the sky for about 2 weeks, where it's "static". That's when we can get a pause, and reflect on the year past and the year ahead. When we enjoy some bliss....the solstice bliss... I love to celebrate the summer Solstice by gathering around a bonfire. I usually harvest lots of medicine up until the Solstice, and get to sit for a bit and reflect. As well as enjoying some good company!

So this year, here is our offering for the upcoming Summer Solstice : a celebration with sacred cacao making, drum journey with Kauri and Matt's delightful music around a bonfire. 🔥❤️🌿
When: 21srt December 4-6pm
Where: Coromandel town, Shambala Shed.
All welcome! Rsvp to me ;)

*Scorpio time *

Alright, so, some of us might be experiencing some pretty rough time at the moment... emotionally charged, needing approval or proof of love, washed by anger, going through power dynamics, old wounds reignited... and all the joy of relating and communicating with others...

Yes, we are at the end of Scorpio season, and Venus, the Sun, the Moon, and retrograding Mercury are about to meet in the last degrees of Scorpio for a terrific reunion! That means all our unprocessed emotions have the potential to come back our way. The way we welcome them belongs to each and everyone of us... Within the next three days might not be a good time to engage deep conversations with your loved ones. Or being conscious of the intensity of the moment, it might be the perfect time as well...🦂

Just remember, keep calm and... drink Nettle tea!! I like mine very dark, steeped overnight 😊🌿✨️

Enjoy and happy new moon in a few days!

*Beltane blessings*
With flowers, food, drum, fire and intentions, we released our love and blessings to the cosmos by boat... such a beautiful ritual...
May all be happy 🌸🌿🦄✨️☀️🌊🌬
