Until I discovered that these methods completely denied and dismissed our cyclical natures and our rich, luminously dark, unseen depths - leaving us feeling lopsided and wrong. This external supremacy of homogenized perfection is one way that our souls are silenced and degraded. It’s the colonization by this false belief in our inherent wrongness that continues to separate us from the truth of the indigenous wisdom of our souls.

And what we do to ourselves, we do to our planet.

Aggressive agro-industries use the aptly named “slash & burn” technique, where trees and vegetation on land to be used for mass monoculture cash-crop production are torn down and then burned. The short-term benefit of this is that the soil is made arable for the crops to be successfully planted. This slashing and burning can continue for a few cycles, until the soil is completely depleted of nutrients and microorganisms, with significant loss of biodiversity. The land, after being used + exploited in this way, is then abandoned, and needs about a decade to regenerate itself. Every year, an estimated 1.4 million hectares of land in the Amazon are destroyed in this way.

Tending the land through the Indigenous science of permaculture is a powerful way to revivify it, working in partnership and reciprocity with it, and all its vivacious, messy, wild aspects. In this way, both the human and her environment thrive and co-exist in interdependence.

We live in an age where, in order to fit into the supremacy of a degrading monoculture, we are slashed and burned into addiction, burnout, depression and their manifold minions.

My work is a regenerative permaculture of the soul - to guide you towards creating your own authentic, rich inner world, in alignment with your particular soul-signature. Alchemy, Myth and an engaged relationship with the wholeness of your Wild Nature are the tools I work with to help you nourish the luminous depths of your soul’s soil.
