Today is my 29th birthday. I got to forage Matsutakes, Candy Caps and Black Trumpets this week.

When I look back on the last year, I immediately think of the many important people and places that have shaped it and feel an overwhelming amount of love.

I also feel a bit of loneliness around my birthday. Usually, this prompts me to completely retreat (airplane mode style) and push away the people who love me. This year, I’m choosing not to do that.

I would love to ask the people who love me to comment here or text/call me and share with me a moment that is reminiscent of me and my spirit when they think of me. Maybe it was when we first met, a silly memory, a time I shared about something I loved, or whatever else comes to heart.

I’ll be on a solo journey today at some hot springs up in Northern California, but I’d love to receive lots of messages, comments and photos of us on Thursday when I revisit my phone.

This year, it feels like my Aquarius and Capricorn (I’m on the cusp) are in a steamy battle. The Aquarius wants complete freedom, nothing holding me back, no one telling me what to do and the Capricorn wants clear structure and guidelines. Neither is winning. I’ve done it - given myself complete freedom this winter which is what I thought I wanted, and now that it’s here, I’m wanting more structure and clarity. Phew.

The transition from maiden to mother is happening, without a doubt, and I’m getting a bit more comfortable with it, but I do feel grief around the part of me that isn’t able to be as carefree as I once was. The part of me that craves planning my future and setting a deeper foundation for a beautiful life ahead is acting out and my practice has been around holding her through that.

To say that I feel like the luckiest woman in the world for the deep rooted support system I have is easy. To my friends, my love, my family - thank you for showing up for me in all my forms, both raw, polished, sassy, challenging, pleasant and everything in between.

To try to understand God’s plan as it’s unfolding is impossible. Patience, my darling. In time, the path will unfold.

maine
the remote, never ending marsh-forests
where all the noise comes to a quiet
and all that’s left to process reveals itself
the worries don’t really melt away..
they become grander
the gift, to heal 🌲

i romanticize the forests, the lil farm stands,
i bought canned candied jalapeños & garden marinara
fantasizing cottage cheese and wild maine apple butter
waking up at 5:30am with energy like a child,

watching the sunrise over the pond,
the fog so thick air so cold
imagining the fairies going to sleep for the day, tucked into some moss covered nook by the pond

allie b, my dog sister
laying at my feet while I try on clothes in the open-once-every-week church thrift store
or drinking rose at an outdoor bar,
swimming in lakes, rivers, puddles..
foraging chaga in the north woods,
everywhere I go, she adapts,
teaching me the purest form of love,
while we’re in maine 🌿🌲💙

Just two weeks before I ran the Telluride Mushroom Festival for the first time, I decided to go buy a ticket to burning man from @malasmandalas

While I’m super proud of myself for achieving a huge goal of holding a leadership position with TMF, what that like in practice was pretty far from what I’d dreamed about. It took more out of me than I had to give, and while it was beautiful, it was really challenging.

Naturally, I took myself as far away from my present reality all the way to Black Rock City, Nevada to find peace & to integrate my TMF experience.

When I bought my ticket, I didn’t have a plan. But what happened the time after I said yes, was beautiful and plans quickly fell into my lap.

I played like a kid, felt sexy, strong, reconnected with my body. I had some deep insecurities reflected back to me and let them simply move through me. I got to practice communication I’ve spent years working on and felt a deep sense of empowerment in doing so.

I unplugged from my phone, left my laptop in CO, leaned into new connections, made new friends, laughed with old friends, went out barefoot in the rain and mud, stayed up until sunrise, drank lots of spring water, nourished my body and led with love.

The irony of an event rooted in radical self-reliance is how deeply people show up to support you. I softened away from hyper-independence and let myself be held.

There was immense power in simply saying yes to going, and then getting to sit back and witness the synchronicities and alignment to follow.

I trust in this path & the divine timing of it all. I’ll never forget the power of play & I look forward to re-engaging with my soul work of TMF and am eager for what’s to come next.

I’ll be offering my Rose Ceremony at @_unison_fest_ this coming Friday, September 5th at 9am at the Workshop Tent🌹

The very first time I offered this ceremony, it was an intentional experiment. What would happen if I shared my wild Colorado rose elixir in a group setting? It was simply a beautiful way to confirm the beliefs I had about rose and its power to shift not only the individual, but also the collective.

After 3 years of leading this rose meditation, I’ve learned way more from offering this journey than I’d ever imagined. Rose has stepped forward as a teacher, showing those who participate how to channel their own intuitive connection to plant spirit. Opening this channel leads to profound understanding of oneself. Many folks experience a deep sense of euphoria after taking rose.

Rose uncovers trauma/ energy knots that are
hiding in the subconscious and places them in the light. The more awareness we have, the less we project our unhealed wounds onto others. The gift is showing you what needs tending to.

The blessing of Rose is also protection, an energetic boundary against the imprints of others—which is especially supportive in a festival environment.

To those who experienced the rose ceremony before, each time I do it, it evolves into something more deeply beautiful, and I would be honored to see you return. To those who this may be new, come start your Unison journey with your heart wide open and ready to create an intentional container for the weekend to come.

It feels extra special to be doing this in an inclusive space for all. Rose and the lessons of Rose embody both the yin and the yang and are truly for all.

Also, just a week and a half ago I offered two Rose ceremonies and two edible plant walks at @campalderwild, and it was an experience for the books.

So blessed to be on this journey 🌹✨

Inner child healing. Reliving parts that never got the freedom to run wild, to explore. Since April, I’ve been working 100% remote between different clients. I feel like I have nothing but freedom. Freedom to go, to be, to see what and who calls to me.

My most recent trip was about returning home to myself.

In Joshua Tree, I made rose medicine and danced under the desert sun and dropped into another long journey with Rose plant spirit. Working with Rose has pulled me out of the deepest dark night of the soul that peaked in 2020. She continues to guide me toward softness, healing, and discernment.

I was raised with structure, with rules, with the sense that I had to earn rest, earn freedom. And to that, I’m grateful - it’s given me a path that has led to the parts of me that have allowed me to build my career.

After the desert, I offered my rose ceremony at @highvibefest and then made my way up North. It was a lot. A lot of driving, a lot of long days on my computer and also a lot of fun, pleasure and beauty. Sometimes it’s hard to understand why I do the things I do - but through plant spirit I’ve been able to cultivate a deep sense of intuition and I trust that I’m on the right path and it will all make sense even if it doesn’t in the moment. Perhaps it’s just because I can.

Now that I’m back in Colorado, holding the memories of the land, the people, the solitude, and the rose offering close to my heart, I’m feeling so, so grateful. For the space, the time, and the ability to go inward in places that held me through it all.

And now to head to @psychedelicscience this week. It’s feeling like a peak-career moment to be able to go and represent @telluridemushroomfest. Oh, the sychronicities and alignment to come.

My Rose Ceremony will be this coming Sunday, June 8th at @highvibefest at 2PM in the Rose Temple.

Over the last five years working with Rose, I have witnessed her transform me into deeper, more authentic versions of myself time and time again.

I was always sharing my wild rose elixir with folks and witnessing their immediate and visceral reactions in complete aw when they try the elixir. I have a deep connection to plant communication, so these experiences are common for me, but getting to see others without the same background share the deep attunement that comes out of plant spirit communication was radical and I wanted more.

This Rose Ceremony started as a way to see what happens when people consume Rose in the collective setting. With each offering, I learn more about Rose through others reflections and then how they match my experiences of being human and of working with rose. The lessons of Rose deepen each time I offer this Rose Ceremony.

To start, I discuss the clinical indications of Rose, as well as the deep plant spirit and what she’s taught me along my journey of evolution of self.

After the whole group tries the elixir, I lead folks into a guided somatic mediation, centered around an experience in which rose medicine is a good remedy or antedote.

This whole experience is curated to teach people about plants through direct experience. This practice allows folks to practice connecting to the otherworldly realm of plant spirit. These lessons have been the deepest on my plant path, more so than anything I’ve ever read in a book.

Y’all! I’ll be offering my Rose Ceremony from 10AM-11AM at the Women’s Lodge at @_unison_fest_

This ceremony involves consuming my wild rose elixir, followed by a somatic guided meditation that harnesses the mysticism of rose to delve deeply into oneself and connect with the heart-space. Participants will explore rose through the doctrine of signatures with a feminine lens.

The ceremony has come from learning about rose’s affinity for the dark night of the soul from Matthew Becker at herb school at @cschcolorado back in 2020. At that point, I was deep in my dark night of the soul.

Over many years of working with rose, I’ve gotten to witness her powers as she’s taught me to develop my own thorns with a divine femininity. Through boundary, trauma work and a lot of therapy, rose had lead the way to me stepping into the greatest version of myself I’ve known yet. She has gotten me through difficult times, and propelled me to beautiful places through uncovering the work I’ve yet to do.

I’ve spent hours on the beach giggling with a lover high love from rose medicine and hours crying by myself after simply picking up a bottle of rose. She is brilliant and seems to always know what we need, whether it be a good laugh or a good cry.

The ceremony came out of me wanting to share the divine teachings of rose with others. The effects of sharing her medicine in group setting have been profound. She goes to deep trauma wounds and unearths what’s stopping you from evolving into a higher version of self. She is nostalgic, calm, loving and she is a bit wild.

See y’all there 🌹🧚‍♀️🌈🌱❤️ taken in Unison Festival by @becsinbloom

The mushrooms have arrived in the San Juan’s!

An early monsoon season has brought wet, humid conditions, followed by sunshine and gorgeous weather - perfect fruiting conditions!

Our team has been out hunting for mushrooms, and this is one of the juiciest finds since morel season — giving us stoke for a wonderful mushroom season ahead.

Our partnership manager @becsinbloom went out on a hike today with Brooke @mindbenderart who will be curating the vibes for our new Myco-Lounge space in Elks Park this coming TMF! 🍄❤️

Today Brooke and Becca found 5 different types of fungi on their hike - but this one was the best! Besides mushrooms they found osha growing all about, arnica, wild geraniums, and strawberry blooming getting ready to fruit. There were wild nettles, elderflowers and spruce tips - our forest is happy and abundant right now!

The mushrooms are coming up — oh, we have missed them dearly!

The medicine of sleeping under the full desert moon. Of choosing deep, vulnerable love after pain. Of waking up with sunrise and putting your toes in the red dirt. Of being in a new place, around new people. Of dancing like no one is watching. Of choosing to be gentle after protecting yourself. Of trusting after being let down. Of loving your sensitivity even when you’re told it’s too much. Of romanticizing the most mundane moments. Of living your like a poem. Of falling in love so hard it hurts.

a weekend that was set to look much different
turned into saying yes
without asking the plan
turned into floating down a Utah section of the CO river

sleeping under the stars
sitting with the sagebrush, ephedra, sweet juniper

oracle decks & doodles at grand rising
the sweetest medicine of Spring
& trust in the Divine plan.

this little southwest life.
