At this point in our trip, we expected to welcome a new baby into the world & be back on a plane home within a couple days.

So far, we found 3 wild orchids ~

Scentbottle, for feeling powerful, lighthearted, optimistic and free to dance!

Pacific Coralroot, for experiencing a new, profound sense of closeness & connection.

Slender Spire Orchid, for embracing adventure despite fear.

We had come to the conclusion that our flower hunting was over ... but nature had bigger plans.

Join us for the next episode as we throw our plans out the window and head to Yellowstone Nat’l Park!

You’ll see on a more visceral level how the orchids elicit wild freedom within us – and in you, the observer.

What you witness may get you reflecting:

When have you felt frustrated or that something’s eating you up inside?

When have you felt scared, troubled or that you’ve lost your way?

When do you experience constriction or discomfort in your body?

Join us TODAY for the LIVE premiere of episode 3 on YouTube ~ 3pm PT / 6pm ET!

We’ll be doing more giveaways in the live chat!

And, right after the premiere, Taylor & I will hop on live to answer any questions you may have about our adventure or the Wild Earth orchids.

Last year, we hosted a meditation retreat at the SAN Center & LOTUSWEI headquarters.

It was incredibly profound.

A group of 6 Tibetan monks came to create a Medicine Buddha Sand Mandala, and we spent one week in a sealed retreat with them.

Almost the entire LOTUSWEI team joined in, plus others who flew in from out of state.

Together, we made wishes for our loved ones, our communities, humanity, the world. We came away with a daily practice that cultivates compassion & insight, and pacifies obstacles, illness and karmic circumstances.

We got so much feedback from others saying: I would love to come if you do another one.

Honestly, we did not think another retreat would be possible.

As of last May when they left Phoenix, their U.S. tour was fully booked.

Still, we requested that they come back to Phoenix before returning home to India in late April.

They told us over & over that they would not have time. But we kept requesting.

And this is why:

It is extremely rare to have access to trained practitioners who have dedicated their entire life – to the benefit of humanity.

The level of devotion, dedication and awareness that these monks have is awe-inspiring.

They are devoted to their practice as a way of life, and as a way to transform the world.

I am overjoyed to share with you that our wishes are being fulfilled –

The Monks of Gaden Shartse Monastery are coming back to Phoenix, April 10-12th to host a 2.5 day Chenrezig Immersion at the Self-Arising Nature Center.

The Chenrezig practice is known for promoting a ripple effect of love, compassion and understanding. It awakens clarity and decisiveness. It develops unshakable calmness.

This immersion is especially potent for everyone with a heartbeat.

We would love to have you join us.

You find yourself attracted to someone you shouldn’t be.

You have a crush on someone who’s married.

You fall in love with someone who lives a million miles away.

It’s the “impossible love.”

How do you let this kind of love grow you, not destroy you?

How do you transform adoration into something deeper, timeless and boundless?

When we adore someone, it’s like the sun falling in love with the moon: the moon is reflecting the sun’s light back to the sun. 

In the same way, you may be infatuated with someone, because they’re reflecting back to you certain qualities that you yourself have.

Reflect on what you adore about them. Get to the root of what draws you in. These are likely qualities you have ~ or want to develop more. This person might represent ways of being that YOU want to embody more profoundly.

If you magnify those qualities within yourself, the fixation and grasping can dissolve ~ leaving pure admiration and unconditional love without personal needs or wants. 

Your adoration becomes a catalyst to bring out the best in you.

No one can make you feel happy or sad. All of these feelings are generated by YOU. How you feel around the one you adore is created within you, not by them.

With “impossible love,” there’s a rush … followed by wanting … followed by disappointment. 

Instead of contracting, EXPAND.

Let the joy of knowing this person exists fill you up so fully that you don’t need anything from them. Practice rejoicing in their existence until there is no expectation, no attachment, no grasping.

Expand your love so it’s not laser-focused. Fill yourself with it. Then let it spill over to everyone you see.

This love has no limitations. It is boundless, free and can spread across space in waves.

On FLOWER HUNTERS, we travel to wild places around the world to collect rare flower elixirs. 

We capture & bottle up the flowers’ healing potential, so you can experience the power of Mother Nature, without even leaving home.  

Our goal is to find exactly the flowers that humanity most needs today.
 
You might wonder, why would we do this? 

Why would we go traipsing around in the mountains where there are grizzly bears … looking for a flower?

And the reason is because –

The world is in a mess. Everyone has challenges. And we could all use support from Mother Nature. 

Flower remedies are so helpful for us in modern day.

They help us sleep better, feel more ease & clarity, experience more joy & less stress and improve overall wellbeing. In the long-term, they promote rapid personal growth.

Wanna transform the world from the inside out? 

Lean on the flowers for support.

Watch to see what flowers we find on our new docuseries ~ link in our bio.

From rocky, barren soil ~ Mountain Pink grows in brilliant pops of pink. 🌸

Mother Nature’s little bouquet of pink flowers.

This little bouquet supports us when we’re reading too much into things, making things harder than they need to be, being hard on ourselves or leaning into a negative view – versus allowing the possibility of the best case scenario.

With this elixir, we don’t have to figure anything out. Whether our head is spinning, we’re making things difficult or falling into a pessimistic outlook –

All we need is to bring in a little lightness & ease.

Bring in some fresh air, open the windows, let in some sunshine.

Roll on the carpet, feel embraced by a fluffy blanket, catch a snowflake on your tongue.

However you can – bring in some joy.

When our attention goes towards the things that are full of ease & lightness – it can shift everything.

We want things to feel effortless ~ to feel that things are falling into place.

To embrace wilder possibilities.

To accept that people love us unconditionally.

To be more playful, and to magnetize life partners with aligned intentions.

To know that things can go really well, and that they could be bigger, better and far beyond what we can imagine.

We can start by letting some light in.
