Dwelling. A School for Inquiry into Earth Medicine.
This medicine has been growing for what feels like forever, but it needed time and wonder, study, practice, and connection to land the way it has. I love using the word dwelling to talk about the conscious and intentional engagement of our experience living on this earth. The school represents steps along that journey that invite us into deeper relationship and celebrate our connections.
Each layer of dwelling stands alone as resource and connection for conscious inquiry into earth medicine. Together, they provide the opportunity to cultivate a comprehensive practice centered around this medicine.

dwelling is about inspiration. We’re growing a community of teachers and students dedicated to the practice, to relationship with medicine, to intimacy and intention. Together, we’re cultivating a container for learning that truly inspires, that is at once communal and personal, clear and expansive. This school, in all its potential, motivates me to go deeper. We must have conversations about earth medicine that from the very beginning involve healing justice, integrity, and authenticity in our medicine.

dwelling is informative, but it’s not about information. It’s about connection, relating with each other – humxns, plants, animals, minerals, waters, and all – with intention and integrity. Students will be guided and supported in communication with the medicine of the earth – with plants and stones, with earth’s self, with their own bodies – to understand more intimately conversations around medicine and our role with earth medicine at this time. They’ll know how to seek resources outside of self that resonate and honor these traditions with integrity.

dwelling is about healing. It’s about resonating in the practice and process of being in our fullness, showing up to the work on a daily basis, and welcoming allies when the time is right. We begin the conversation around personal healing, but we know we do not heal alone. So we celebrate and work through our medicine in community, creating networks of wisdom, support, and love that transform the way we operate, the way we are together.

dwelling is about renewing our attention, our commitment in this life, to the practice and the journey of healing. We are always shifting, evolving, and living more and more into the fullness of ourselves. This is an opportunity to drop in and connect with deeper answers of just how that fullness looks, feels, and thrives within.

dwelling is spacious. If you’ve shared space in a class or gathering with me before, you know the most important element to me is creating a container that is safe and sacred, grounded and clear, for our process to unfold with ease and vitality. It’s a privilege to offer such space, and it is the foundation upon which this school is built. I cannot wait to welcome fifteen brilliant, wide-hearted beings together with our magical teachers into this space to share in the learning.
