What @gwenstefani said ☝️ 😜 Art Van Gr🌻w turned into one of the most wild & wonderful adventures of my entire life. 🌎 💛 💙 The intention: Build a tiny house on wheels ➡️ go on a self growth journey ➡️ travel across the 🇺🇸 to all my bucket list items ➡️ buy property that matched the vision in my third 👁️. All while documenting this wild ride on my digital journal to reflect, grow, and integrate later. 😮‍💨 What I didn’t expect was everything that happened the moment I left NYC!!!😂🥹 Tire popping and hitting the propane line 15 mins in was NOT on my BINGO card! Neither was being baited, groomed, and coerced into marrying an alien 👽. As insane as it sounds …. NO RAGRETS 😝 The lessons & the blessings were all part of the journey and initiations into the work I was born to do. Was the journey easy? F*ckkkkkkkk NO! Did I learn a lot ? Duh 🙄, and still integrating it all. I am glad I had the ovaries to DO IT! To leave my hometown at 17 and then again to travel the country “on a mission” … But most important, to follow my dreams.✨ The self growth journey is NOT rainbows 🌈 and butterflies 🦋 and you need to fire your coach if that’s the nonsense they are feeding you. It’s messy. It’s chaotic. It’s beautiful. It’s uncomfortable. It’s humbling. It’s magick. I wouldn’t be the wombman I am today without walking through these portals. I wouldn’t be the wombman I am today without the humiliation. I wouldn’t be the wombman I am today if I never challenged myself to grow. Mmmm The art of “know thy self”. I promise you the discomfort is worth the journey. What’s 3 ways you have practiced self growth? 👇🏽 Need support on your journey? 🔗 in bio to book a Conscious Call 📞 today and get started on a 1:1 intuitive holistic health personalized plan. taken in Shelton, Washington by @artvangrow

The Tree of Life, WA 📍 A note to self dated February 9th 2022. Self compassion is how you become authentic. ✨ Don’t rely on what other people think of you. That’s true freedom. ♥️ Only you have to forgive yourself. Take more risks. 💥 Self-compassion allows you to learn from your mistakes. If we don’t allow ourselves to fail we can’t learn. Shame shuts down our ability to learn. - AMK What does self compassion mean to you? 👇🏼 👇🏼 . . . . . #vibrationalhealing #vibrationalmedicine #medicinewoman #herbalist #holistichealing #holistichealthcoach #consciousliving #consciouscreator #contentcreator #lifestyleinfluencer #spiritualawakening #spiritualgrowth #spiritualist #spiritualcoach #consciouscommunity #alternativehealing #alternativemedicine #sacredmedicine #plantmedicines #cognitivetherapy #naturetherapy #selfcompassionpractice #vibrationalsoundtherapy #soundbath #soundhealing #energyhealing #5d #lightworker #empathlife #healersofinstagram taken in Kalaloch, Washington Tree of Life by @artvangrow

Thank you 2025 🖤 ✨ 🐍 Thank you for being gentle with me. Thank you for opening my heart to receive love in unexpected ways and moments. Thank you for the initiations. 🌀 The initiations into my wombmanhood. The initiations into my shamanic path. The initiations into my leadership. The initiations into my businesses. The initiations into boundaries. The initiations into embodiment. Thank you for holding me as I shed versions of myself that are no longer necessary to carry with me. 🐍 Thank you to my spirit allies, my 2 snake allies AL & Malachite for guiding me through 2025. Thank you for authentic community. Thank you for sisterhood. Thank you for brotherhood. Thank you to the elements. The directions. To source. Thank you for all the beautiful beings who have blessed my time space reality. 2025 feels like a decade of growth with tasteful medicine. 👆🏽 I am not used to this. Over 30 years of being in “fight or flight” with a nervous system that was wrecked! 2025 was the first year I truly felt HERE! In my body! It was the year I identified dissociation and spent the year exploring embodiment of all the practices I have learned through the years, but directing them onto self. Shining a little bit of that love & support I give others, but onto myself. It felt like a reclamation. It felt like a coming home. Exploring new sensations in my body. And new pain. Recalling stored memories & rewiring the narrative to create safety in my body. I realized I finally felt safe. Safe to breathe. To share. To feel, to love, and to be supported. I felt safe to be witnessed. Fully. And to witness others. I felt rooted and grounded in my own energy for the first time ever. Practicing protection work every morning. 2025 taught me practice ➡️ embodiment. Thank you 2025 for holding me in all of my seasons. ✨ Swipe right ➡️ for a little teenie tiny glimpse into my year. 😉 What’s 3️⃣ things you’re grateful for that 2025 taught you? 👇🏽 👇🏽 👇🏽 . . . #2025 #2025recap #newyear #yearofthesnake #selfgrowth taken in Shelton, Washington by @artvangrow

I am blessed to have spent 33 years around the sun 🌞 in this human body and this physical incarnation. The initiations through the elements 🌊 🔥 🌬️ 🪨 The lessons & blessings through every experience I have lived through. ✨ The remembrance of my own sovereignty and divine GOD given gifts. 🌀 The reclamation of my ancestral wisdom. The ownership of my lived experiences, emotions, projections, and behaviors. The educational experiences, the trainings, the assignments and the dreams. All of these divine portals have catapulted me into the wombman that I am today. 💕🧬 Someone once told me “life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you.” That slapped 👋. It stuck. It resonated. It landed. 🛬 it arrived. Whatever word tickles your fancy… It became my mantra & helped me unravel a lot of lived experience & suppressed trauma that was manifesting in behavioral and emotional experiences. As within, so without. As above, so below. As I close the “christ period” portal & “go up on the cross” to be “re-born again” aka reflect on the last 33 years and alchemize the MF sh******tttt out of those lessons & blessings… and follow my natal chart & human design because that’s MY CHEAT CODE to lyfeeee….. I am counting my blessings you could say. 🤷‍♀️ An ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE 💕💕☺️ I promise you sky daddy supplies when you ask, you shall receive. I am grateful for everyone who has came into my life for a reason, season, a holiday, or a lifetime. Thanks for loving and supporting me in my brightest and darkest days through the years. 💋 Yall are my rockstars!! & I MF cherish the f**ck out of you!! If ya want to “spoil me” for my bday please consider buying my book The MycoMap by Amanda Marie Keshner on Amazon, or donating directly to the seed PNW non profit 🔗 in bio. Or 🌞 💰 🎉 Venmo & PayPal @artvangrow Words of affirmation 🧃 me up! 👇🏽 invitation to share a funny story about how we met and/or one of our adventures in time & space (meeting & being insta buddies totally counts BTW! Yall are the real MVPs) 👇🏽 👇🏽 👇🏽 ⬇️ Laughter is taken in Shelton, Washington by @artvangrow

I think I understood the assignment 💁🏼‍♀️ Took me 33 years around the 🌞 . But I’m proud to say I finally trust my own intuition & I finally own my own worth 😮‍💨 . Wild & wonderful ride the last 33 years & it would have been stellar if someone read my human design & natal chart when I was a baby to “predict” the “cards I was dealt” you could say …. Buttttttt what FUN would that be ? The richness of life is to live with all conscious beings. To experience culture, to experience grief, shame, guilt, fear, lack, confusion, doubt, is a privilege we take for granted. With that, we also get to experience joy, pleasure, play, unconditional love, community, emotional intelligence & the many natural wonders of this human experience. If we’re paying close attention we walk through many portals and initiations in life. Sometimes it’s initiation through 🔥 and sometimes it’s transformation through our tears and working with the element of water 🌊. Sometimes it’s our breath 🌬️ that carries our dreams, or prayers, and our desires. And sometimes all we need is to be grounded with earth 🌍 resting on her embrace, held by her womb, witnessed by her molten lava flame, her capacity to transform and compost all that which doesn’t serve us. Sometimes we need to yell and practice sacred rage 😡 or maybe channel in the highest possible outcome through song and dance. To be a a human occupying a divine feminine vessel in this incarnation is a blessing and a privilege I do not take lightly. In 2016 I created the catch phrase “stay sexy and keep wandering” and in 2026 a decade later @hugelthug released Stay Sexy. 🎶 It wouldn’t be a complete assignment if I didn’t jump back on the IG train and do a reel 😜. Who knowssss maybe if this post isn’t flooded with 🧌 you’ll inspire me to start posting more again like I used to 😱! Been following along since 2016? Hiiii 👋 I appreciate you & thanks for being here !! If you’re new, ask good questions & get good answers 😉. Make assumptions and you might wind up on my story hehe 🙃. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya 👅.

What does community mean to you? 👇🏽 “Community” has been a thread 🧵 on my healing & recovery journey. It took me several years of trying to find the end of the spool so that I can truly look at communities from a sociological standpoint. As someone who studies systems, behaviors, protocols, and someone who creates forensic profiles around everything and everyone, I wasn’t sure how to approach “community” from an unbiased perspective like I would forensics. It’s taken me a decade plus. My first real “taste” of the culture of “community” was during my nomadic years. The years I spent traveling the USA, sitting around a fire 🔥 with complete strangers, talking about our lives and the “why” we were all traveling and living nomadically. We spent months traveling and creating community on the road and I’m still integrating all the research I collected and witnessed. I didn’t pay to be in community. No one was tit for tat. Everyone contributed. Everyone had a role. We looked out after each other. We packed up and moved when one person was uncomfortable. We created “chosen family” dynamics within an organically growing community. The community always evolved and grew depending on who was traveling through. This is when I learned commUNITY IS MEDICINE!! I was on a mission since 2016 to build a community around all the ways I felt misunderstood or excluded in other communities growing up. I used my lived experience & research on the road as my foundation for the container I wanted to create. Since 2019 I have been actively organically growing a 5 acre conscious community, a nature retreat space + add on a layer of building a sustainable neighborhood around it! 🤯 Yes, I have had my hands full! Last weekend we had our first community gathering of 2026 and the feedback and connections around the 🔥 we’re medicine to my ears. The validation I received for my wild & wonderful project made the last decade totally worth it !! The blessing from the elders was the cherry 🍒 on top.

Just planting the seed 🌱. What are your thoughts ? 💭 👇🏽 👇🏽 While keeping this friendly, don’t hold back on your lived experience in the comments. Don’t spit “facts” from ChatGPT. I want to know YOUR truth! YOUR lived experience. Spirit nudged me to share this message with y’all after an interesting conversation with a fellow local politician. We were talking about some 🫖 we learned about the community since we moved here. We both had a lot of lived experience where people told us TOO MUCH information when we were dressed “homeless”. As a scientists and sociologist I find social and psychological experiments fascinating, which is why I have a lot of lived experiences. 👅 True story: I went to report a Department of Health ped0 once (I’ll spare you the gore) and BECAUSE I “looked” homeless with my hair “not tamed”, was wearing a hoody that said “I make cannab!$ disappear what’s your super power”, and I had no shoes on, they treated me like a homeless psyche patient. They never let me do a report. They didn’t give me an IV I was requesting. They didn’t let me talk to a social worker or a police. They detained me and called me “crazy” and locked me up in mental health. @masongeneralhospital do better. I used to be “butt hurt” about these incidences, but upon reflecting I learned that through those experiences, I have been able to expand my awareness and consciousness. Through those experiences I was able to witness what ACTUALLY happens “behind the scenes”. Through those experiences I have been able to show up as a certified peer counselor and have supported many souls on their journey that I would have never met if I didn’t get thrown in the “looney tunes bin” with the rest of the mis-understood gifted souls. I share this story because our lived experience is our truth. Until someone else “plants a seed” and attempts to expand our awareness, we only know what we know. Just some food for thought 💭 Let me know your thoughts 👇🏽 . P.S if you want to pick my brain in real time - 🔗 in my bio Theseedpnw.com early bird tickets are on sale for our summer retreats.

How are we feeling with all of these collective shifts + the cosmos putting on WHAT a production in our sky lately? 👇🏽 👇🏽 Even though I feel a bit b**tch slapped 👋 by it all, it’s been a beautiful opportunity for me to put into practice everything I have learned the last 33 years of my journey on planet earth. 🌍 It’s given me an opportunity to: - practice what I preach - integrate and use my holistic health tools - integrate some major shifts in my life - practice asking for help and support - dive deeper into some of my traumas from an IFS and Parts lens - practice my trainings with myself + my clients - heal some deep rooted wounds & self-limiting beliefs - connect with women through authentic expression and subconscious mirroring - organize projects I put off for 5 years - organize my retreats, offerings, and non profit ++ so much more! This Pisces ♓️ Mercury retrograde + Pisces new moon 🌑 is really bringing the subconscious ideas and programs around the intellect and creativity to the surface. This energy has allowed me to identify the parts within myself and past seasons and expressions that I “miss” and want to reclaim and call home. However, it also brought awareness and deep validation and self growth around how far I have came on my journey. I am not the women I was a month ago, never mind the women I was 7 years ago when I didn’t have the holistic health tools, community, love, support, and self understanding and mastery that I have now. I identified that I don’t “miss” HER. She was resilient, a warrior, but she was weak. She didn’t have tools to navigate her nervous system. She didn’t have support or community. She didn’t feel seen & heard. She didn’t feel respected and valued by males. She was a people pleaser. She was a sad, broken girl who was sharing her stories and lived experience on social media as a digital journey. No regrets. My lived experience and authentic expressions have empowered and inspired many throughout the years and that’s why I kept showing up. But SHE isn’t ME. I am NOT her anymore. That version of me I love, I accept. Today I am owning it! All of it! My shadows & my light. 👇🏽share your truth taken in Shelton, Washington by @artvangrow

“Holistic medicine is not an alternative but the very basis of the art of healing.” – George Vithoulkas Holistic health focuses on the entire human BEing. Their mind (psyche) 🧠 Their body (psychical) 🤚 Their Soul (Spirituality) ✨ Holistic health was a path I found through the western medical systems constantly failing me for over 2 decades. I had enough ‼️ They were making me sick, perpetuating the problem, and their “solutions” created more dis-ease and discomfort. My holistic health journey helped me get to the root cause of my issues and address them from multiple dimensions, not just the psyche or psychical body. Through my holistic health journey I learned that to be human is to experience the FULL SPECTRUM of emotions and to use your tools and discernment to navigate the ever changing energies in our environment and the impact it has on our individual nervous systems. ✨ Through my lived experience, education, and active participation on my own self growth journey, I decided to design my own practice within my business. End of 2024 I created “Intuitive Holistic Health Services” as an extension of @theseedpnw & @theseed.pnw non profit. A practice designed around my gifts, lived experience, trainings, education and tools I learned on my self growth journey. 🌻 When you choose to work with me or come to one of my offerings YOU will be learning holistic health tools so YOU can be your own healer and active participant on your journey. Whether you are just getting started or familiar with this reality, I would love to connect & be of support! Comment CONSCIOUS CALL and I’ll send you a link to get started on our journey! This winter I sat my 🍑 down and also wrote a book about this + tons of embodiment practices. Launching Spring 2026! Theseedpnw.com 🔗 in bio to get started & learn more! What’s a few things you are actively working on during your journey ? 👇🏽 👇🏽 Get vulnerable because THAT is the collective medicine the world needs right now! 👇🏽 taken in Shelton, Washington by @artvangrow

Human Design is one of the most fascinating tools I have been blessed to learn during my self growth journey 🌻 It’s seriously YOUR UNIQUE blueprint for your human experience on earth. Which means it is YOUR cheat code designed for your unique human experience. Human design over lays several ancient modalities creating a biograph and explanation of your entire being from a holistic health perspective. If you’re familiar with your astrology and natal chart, this is overlaying a screen shot of the sky the moment you were born over several other modalities like I Ching, the Kabbalah and many others. In 2022 I kept getting a clairaudient download “study human design” I didn’t know what the f*ck it was or how it applied to anything on my journey. But, just as a good psychic does, she listens to the voices in her head. 😜 I started with a book to “understand it” more but I didn’t retain anything I read. It wasn’t until I had my chart read to me that it started to CLICK! It took me 3 years of studying it via the lens of practicing what I was learning about my own human design. PLUS I made it a topic at my community and began to build my staff and programs around human design and how our composite charts interact with each other. As an intuitive holistic health practitioner, I introduce it to all my clients on day 1 and invite them to devote time & energy into learning about themselves in the ways they spend time learning about others or “the news”. I invite you to explore your human design if you haven’t yet and tap into your unique “cheat code” to life. Have you ever heard of it ? 👇🏽 If so, what’s your human design ? 👇🏽 What’s 3 things you have learned about yourself through working with this tool? 👇🏽 If you’re familiar with it, bonus points if you guess or remember mine. 😉 Want to expand your consciousness with other tools like this ? 🔗 in bio to get started with a Conscious Call on Theseedpnw.com taken in Shelton, Washington by @artvangrow

Did you know you’re gifted ? 🌈 ✨ We ALL ARE! Seriously, we just have to attune & clear our Clair channels so that we can receive. Receive wisdom, information, downloads, epiphanies, healing, growth, evolution, expansion, enlightenment, and authentic truth. ✨ It’s through our Clair Channels that we can receive information. However, how we all receive, process, integrate, and share information differs from being to being. This is what makes us all beautiful, unique, and energetically different, like fingerprints 🫆. The eight primary “clair” (clear) senses are psychic abilities corresponding to sensory experiences: Clairvoyance - clear seeing 👁️ Clairaudience - clear hearing 👂 🔊 Clairsentience - feeling 🤗 Claircognizance - knowing 💡 Clairempathy - emotion 🥺 Clairtangency - touching ✋ Clairsalience - smelling 👃 Clairgustance - tasting 👅 You might find that some are more profound than others. As you embark on your healing journey and navigate life on planet earth, you can awaken, re-sharpen, fine-tune, and develop these senses deeper and deeper. When we choose to be active participants on our journey, and embodying our gifts, we are coming into enlightenment. ✨ Into balance. Balance with the world around us, our own inner worlds, our communities, our loved ones. It’s portrayed in movies and TV as “super powers” 💥. They tell us “it’s not real”. They do this to keep us disconnected. Disconnect from our truth. From GOD. From source. We all come from the same source. We all are pure love and divinity packaged into a flesh suit co-mingling with others experiencing the same planet, just with different karmic lessons. It’s when we tap into these channels and truly learn to work with them, is when the true “super powers” begin to show themselves. 🖤 ✨ If you need support on your journey Theseedpnw.com to book a conscious call to get started! 🔗 in bio. What psychic gifts do you access regularly ? 👇🏽 if you’re feeling vulnerable, please share a story about your experience with learning your gifts and how you have integrated that into your reality. 👇🏽 👇🏽 #holistichealing #psychicabilities #psychicmedium #psychicdevelopment taken in Washington by @artvangrow
