It was such an honor to share this conversational journey with you, Rhiannon. It was nourishing, deep while at the same time wide-ranging in the territory we covered. Wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for this shared creation 💜✨🌸

Thank YOU for saying yes and willingly meeting me in this conversation. I was SO touched by your presence and your Heart. I legit cried at the end 💞 I received so much Soul nourishment in listening and exploring with you ~ You are wonderful!!!

It’s interesting when you all were talking about feeling like your soul is from an ancient time and this modern earth being unsettling. I can definitely relate! And when you were reflecting on why everything got flipped- the male dominated hierarchy suppressed wisdom/ herbal knowledge. I once read that it was because of weather patterns! The men of the church thought the medicine women were somehow controlling the weather or creating ‘evil’ and destruction so basically they blamed climate change on ‘witches’ or something like that? Crazy🙃

YES ~ this modern Human experience, to me, feels distorted and confusing much of time. I will say that Earth herself continues to feel immensely beautiful and enchanting, and that is in part what continues to invite my Heart to open and receive the Humans as they are (including myself). When I choose to engage from the Heart and commune with my Heart leading ~ Humans also feel miraculous and wonderful to me. The history of our journey here on Earth is fascinating... the misinterpretations of the natural magic we wield has certainly made for a shitstorm of unnecessary shunning and extinguishing. Thanks for sharing Tara!! Isn't it WILD what people believe!?!?

So interesting how Portia says anger and judgement are tied to grief.

I can so relate to that ~ as I have not been a generally angry person aside from when GRIEF is essentially showing me where my anguish is feeling violated or ignored or rejected.

I feel that anger and judgment arise from parts of us that are so deeply wounded, they’re the most defended parts of our hearts. As I’ve sat with these feelings the grief within them was revealed. Grief for not being seen and held as a child, grief from cutting oneself off from the connection we so crave because of that hard defended state. Feeling the underlying grief and bringing compassion to it has been tremendously powerful for me 💜

That’s beautiful. Thanks for sharing that. I feel resonance so much with the judgement part and appreciate you pointing out the connection to wounds from childhood. 🌹

Rhi and Portia thank you for this Journey! I love how you weave plant spirits INTO the ecology of daily nourishing practices and describe the spaciousness that arises from communing with these beings. Pretty much all of this conversation resonated with me, but I must say Portia's "I love being intimate with the limits of what we are able to know" and Rhi's "Let's play instead of trapping ourselves into stories that do not resonate" really hit me in the Heartspace. Thank you, this was BEAUTIFUL. ❤
