ReConnect with Plant Wisdom

In this episode, Rebecca Tekell and I explore what happens when we stop trying to “save the planet” and start remembering that the Earth has been speaking to us all along. This is a conversation for anyone who carries that quiet ache of disconnection or the hum of fear beneath the noise of daily life, and is longing to find their way back home.We talk about the deep grief many of us feel, not because something is wrong with us, but because we’ve forgotten how to listen. Most importantly, we explore how every act of presence... laying in clover, touching a tree, sitting in observation, becomes a powerful form of participation in the planet’s healing.In this episode about Nature communication, you’ll learn:🌿Why disconnection isn’t personal failure, it’s forgetting how to listen🌿 How nature communicates through sensation, intuition, and synchronicity🌿 The link between regeneration, observation, and feminine wildness🌿 Why we can stop “fixing” nature and start rebuilding relationship✨ Next Step ✨Bring these insights into LIVED PRACTICE inside the Naturally Conscious Community (NCC). 🌿Let’s turn reflection into integration — and make it real in your ecosystem.

This episode is a deep dive into healing what I call the "original trauma" — our collective disconnection from nature and ourselves. I talk with mental health expert Julie Brams about ecopsychology, forest therapy, and the emerging field she prefers to call Earth-centered psychology. We explore why modern psychology often misses this core disconnection and how reconnecting with the more-than-human world can be profoundly healing.If you’re ready to heal from disconnection and embrace your nature as nature, this conversation will light your path.Topics Covered about Earth-Centered Psychology➡️ The original trauma is our artificial separation from Earth, fueling much of human suffering.➡️ Ecopsychology and Earth-centered psychology focus on repairing this disconnect through nature-based practices.➡️ Forest therapy is about nature leading the healing, with guides facilitating connection, not control.➡️ Rediscovering embodied sensing beyond words helps us reconnect deeply, even amid modern technology.➡️ Julie’s book The Nature-Embedded Mind invites us to explore a new way of thinking that can heal ourselves and the planet.Chapters00:00 Opening – Meeting the original wound08:04 Nature, Zen, and trauma therapy16:04 Dismantling the dominance model in therapy24:18 Listening with full-body perception32:25 Embracing darkness and shadow work40:29 Reconnection in a modern world48:29 The trauma of systemic gaslighting55:45 The Nature Embedded Mind (book)01:01:47 Collective healing is possibleResources Mentioned 🌱 Julie Brams' Work🌱 The Nature Embedded Mind: How the Way We Think Can Heal Our Planet and Ourselves US  - UK🌱 Plant Wisdom Book Club🌱 Personalized mentorship with me and the PlantsExpanded Show Notes☝🏽ReConnect with Plant Wisdom podcast Ancient and modern knowledge from biology to spirituality about the wondrous ways plants help you lead a Naturally Conscious life.Subscribe here and on your favorite podcast player.👉🏽 Join the Naturally Conscious Community to nourish human-plant relationships// Get to Know Me, Tigrilla //// Let's Work Together //   // Shop from EcoConscious Partners //More PartnersOpening and Closing music by @Cyberinga  and Poinsettia.// Let's Connect on Social // Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Youtube

Our conversation weaves through her soul-awakening encounters with whales, wolves, and ancient forests, revealing how true recognition between species cracks open a deeper truth: we are beings of nature, not separate from it.This episode is about returning to a more ancient, embodied way of knowing.If you’ve ever felt unseen in a world built for conformity, this conversation invites you to remember your place in the wild and welcome the magic of mutual recognition with other kin.Topics Covered about Wild Animal Communication➡️ True connection begins with allowing yourself to be seen—fully and energetically—by other kin.➡️ Eleanor shares profound stories of traveling in walrus-skin boats and meeting the gaze of whales and wolves.➡️ Trees remember, communicate, and respond when we bring them our lived experiences.➡️ Being a bridge species means holding space for relationship across time, space, and species.Chapters00:00 Opening – What it means to “meet the gaze”08:15 Animals as teachers of attention16:30 Re-wilding the human mind25:00 The silent language of presence29:24 Learn with Gaia (Ad)33:45 Face-to-face with gray whales42:00 Inner wildness & personal healing50:30 Practices to meet the gaze yourselfResources Mentioned🌱 Eyes of the Wild by Eleanor O’Hanlon 🌱 Plant Wisdom Book Club 🌱 Spirit Wild Plant Quiz🌱 Personalized mentorship with me and the PlantsExpanded Show Notes☝🏽ReConnect with Plant Wisdom podcast Ancient and modern knowledge from biology to spirituality about the wondrous ways plants help you lead a Naturally Conscious life.Subscribe here and on your favorite podcast player.👉🏽 Join the Naturally Conscious Community to nourish human-plant relationships// Get to Know Me, Tigrilla //// Let's Work Together //   // Shop from EcoConscious Partners //GAIAMore PartnersOpening and Closing music by @Cyberinga  and Poinsettia.// Let's Connect on Social // Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Youtube

I've been reflecting deeply on wildness—not as chaos, but as a core intelligence that’s been buried under all the roles, rules, and routines we’ve been taught to follow. In this solo episode, I explore what it really means to reclaim that wild essence—not by breaking everything down, but by building a life that can actually hold it.Drawing wisdom from plant kin like cattail and aspen, I share how movement, presence, and relational flow can reconnect you to your true nature. When you stop trying to fit into systems that were never designed for you, you begin to create the kind of internal structure that sustains you—emotionally, creatively, spiritually.This is about stepping out of survival mode and into something more nourishing. Your wildness isn’t the thing holding you back—it’s the guide showing you how to grow.Topics Covered about Reclaiming Your Wildness➡️ Wildness is a relational force that guides authentic growth➡️ Plants like cattail and aspen model emotional presence and grounded adaptability➡️ Structure isn’t restriction—it’s the vessel that supports creative flow➡️ Reclaiming your wildness is key to building a life that sustains youChapters00:00 – Welcome & Why Wildness Matters07:30 – Facing the Fear of Your Own Wild Edge15:00 – Shadow Traits: Compasses, Not Enemies22:30 – Body Rhythms and Seasonal Flow30:00 – Boundaries as Riverbanks for Creative Power37:30 – Partnering with Plant Allies to Stay Grounded45:00 – Bringing Everyday Life Back Into the ForestResources Mentioned🌱 Spirit Wild Plant Quiz🌱 Mini Voyage with Spirit Wild Plants🌱 Seedling Sprouts (Naturally Conscious Community) 🌱 Personalized mentorship with me and the PlantsExpanded Show Notes ☝🏽ReConnect with Plant Wisdom podcast Ancient and modern knowledge from biology to spirituality about the wondrous ways plants help you lead a Naturally Conscious life.Subscribe here and on your favorite podcast player.👉🏽 Join the Naturally Conscious Community to nourish human-plant relationships// Get to Know Me, Tigrilla //// Let's Work Together //   // Shop from EcoConscious Partners // GAIA More Partners Opening and Closing music by @Cyberinga  and Poinsettia.// Let's Connect on Social // Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Youtube

I laughed a lot in this one—not because it was funny, but because there’s something deeply disarming about talking with someone like Eric Inman. In this episode, we explore what it really means to be in communion with nature—specifically with rivers—and how reawakening our wild selves can shift everything.  This is an episode about feeling your way into truth, remembering you are nature, and learning to dance with the wild rather than dominate it.  Whether you’ve been craving deeper integration after a breakthrough or you’re just starting to question the disconnected world you live in, this one’s for you.    Topics Covered about Ecopsychology and plant medicine ➡️ Explore psilocybin therapy in nature as a powerful tool for reconnecting to your soul and rewilding your nervous system ➡️  Understand river consciousness and how water can serve as a guide for emotional regulation and intuitive decision-making ➡️ Break free from ego-based survival patterns by embodying your authentic self in communion with Nature ➡️ Learn why community and integration matter after any plant medicine or transformational experience  Chapters00:00 Introduction & River Connection07:30 Creative Rewilding Practices15:00 Biomimicry and System Design22:30 Spiritual Ecology Deep Dive30:00 Human Patterns vs Wild Systems37:30 Personal Journey with Plant Allies45:00 Practical Steps to Evolving Wild52:30 Closing Reflections & Next Actions Resources Mentioned🌱 Eric Inman - Evolve Wild🌱 Personalized mentorship with me and the Plants// Podcast Guest //  Eric Inman | River guide, psychedelic mushroom facilitator, and owner of Evolve WildExpanded Show Notes☝🏽ReConnect with Plant Wisdom podcast Ancient and modern knowledge from biology to spirituality about the wondrous ways plants help you lead a Naturally Conscious life.Subscribe here and on your favorite podcast player.👉🏽 Join the Naturally Conscious Community to nourish human-plant relationships// Get to Know Me, Tigrilla //// Let's Work Together //  // Shop from EcoConscious Partners //More PartnersOpening and Closing music by @Cyberinga  and Poinsettia.// Let's Connect on Social // Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Youtube

This conversation with Bonnie D’Arcangelo is a journey—a deep, multidimensional dive into the healing intelligence of plants, etheric awareness, and what it really means to reclaim consciousness. Topics Covered about healing with plant intelligence➡️ Healing isn't something we receive—it's something we co-create.➡️ Plants respond to your etheric body and adjust their medicine accordingly.➡️ Structured water (plasma) plays a vital role in how your body communicates.➡️ Reconnecting with your wholeness includes working with all four bodies: physical, etheric, soul, and “I am.”Chapters00:00  Intro & Episode Overview05:30  Bonnie’s Journey into Conscious Awareness11:00  First Plant Awakening Moment17:00  From Burnout to Embodied Living20:45  Eco‑Conscious Partner – Music of the Plants22:00  The Power of Silence & Inner Listening28:30  Pivoting to a Conscious Business Model40:30  Community, Collaboration & Collective Growth46:30  Daily Plant‑Guided Practices52:30  Root & Rise Quick‑Fire Insights57:30  Closing Reflections & Next StepsResources Mentioned🌱 Music of the Plants🌱 Bonnie's Work🌱 Plant Wisdom Book Club🌱 Personalized mentorship with me and the Plants// Podcast Guest //  Bonnie D'Arcangelo Trained herbalist with A Master of Science degree, a certified aromatherapist with the National Association of Aromatherapists, an Anthroposophist, Astrologer, Holistic health coach, Biodynamic Farmer, President and Founder of Michigan Protects a non-profit focused on restoring native medicinal plants in Michigan.Expanded Show Notes☝🏽ReConnect with Plant Wisdom podcast Ancient and modern knowledge from biology to spirituality about the wondrous ways plants help you lead a Naturally Conscious life.Subscribe here and on your favorite podcast player.👉🏽 Join the Naturally Conscious Community to nourish human-plant relationships// Get to Know Me, Tigrilla //// Let's Work Together //  // Shop from EcoConscious Partners //Music of the PlantsMore PartnersOpening and Closing music by @Cyberinga  and Poinsettia.// Let's Connect on Social // Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Youtube

Have you ever wondered what myths would sound like if the plants told the story? In this episode, I sit down with ecofeminist researcher and myth-reweaver Wendy Wuyts to explore how storytelling can reshape our relationship with plants, complexity, and ourselves. Together, we uncover the value of deep listening, narrative intelligence, and rewilded storytelling as tools for healing, resistance, and reconnection in a fragmented world.If you’re someone who lives between science and spirit, between research and ritual—this episode will feel like home.Topics Covered about mythology and ecofeminism➡️ Why myth and narrative are vital tools for healing trauma and reshaping cultural memory.➡️ How ecofeminist retellings center plants as conscious agents in ancient stories.➡️ What the Tree of Duality and Snake archetypes reveal about complexity, knowledge, and power.➡️ The importance of slow hope and multidimensional storytelling in conscious evolution.Chapters00:00 Introduction02:32 Rewriting Mythology Through a Plant Lens11:30 Wendy’s Early Connection to Nature and Story22:09 Mythology as Emotional Anchor and Mental Health Tool33:08 Rewilding Folk Tales with Plants as Protagonists44:00 A New Approach to Writing with Plants52:07 Eco-Conscious Business Partner Ad54:00 From Forest Bathing to Writing Circles1:03:12 Closing Words and Ways to ConnectResources Mentioned🌱 Music of the Plants🌱  Learn more about Wendy HERE🌱 Sprouts Writing & Creativity Group🌱 Plant Wisdom Book Club🌱 Personalized mentorship with me and the Plants// Podcast Guest //  Wendy Wuyts - Learn more about Wendy HEREWendy Wuyts holds a PhD in environmental science from Nagoya University, Japan, and is a writer and certified forest therapy guide. Expanded Show Notes☝🏽ReConnect with Plant Wisdom podcast Ancient and modern knowledge from biology to spirituality about the wondrous ways plants help you lead a Naturally Conscious life.Subscribe here and on your favorite podcast player.👉🏽 Join the Naturally Conscious Community to nourish human-plant relationships// Get to Know Me, Tigrilla //// Let's Work Together //  // Shop from EcoConscious Partners // Music of the Plants More Partners Opening and Closing music by @Cyberinga  and Poinsettia.// Let's Connect on Social // Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Youtube

I’ve been sitting with this episode for a while. Honestly, it scared me—because it asked me to revisit my past relationship with anger and how I’ve transformed it. For a long time, I either lashed out or shut down. I didn’t know how to express criticism without burning bridges—or how to fight for what mattered without destroying everything in my path.In this episode, I explore how nature helped me reframe anger—not as a reaction, but as a sacred spark. Plants like kudzu, dandelion, and mistletoe taught me that taking up space, standing firm, or even disrupting the ecosystem can be acts of deep service. It’s not about balance—it’s about flow. Compassion and strength are not opposites. And righteous anger can be a force for regeneration.Let’s talk about mastering your fire—so you don’t burn it all down, but light the path forward.Topics Covered about anger and personal growth➡️ Suppressing anger is not the same as choosing peace➡️ Nature uses aggression strategically—so can we➡️ Righteous anger is a sacred motivator, not a weapon➡️ Plants teach us how to disrupt and rebuild in harmonyChapters00:00 Why This Episode Scared Me to Make05:08 When Compassion Isn’t Enough10:56 Understanding Anger’s Ecosystem Role15:01 Eco-Conscious Business Partner: The Shift Network28:01 Aggressive Plants as Strategic Allies35:43 Strategic Fire: When to Use Anger, and How43:01 How to Disrupt Without Destroying51:51 What Plants Teach Us About Flowing Between Force and SoftnessResources Mentioned🌱 Shift Network🌱 Personalized mentorship with me and the PlantsExpanded Show Notes☝🏽ReConnect with Plant Wisdom podcast Ancient and modern knowledge from biology to spirituality about the wondrous ways plants help you lead a Naturally Conscious life.Subscribe here and on your favorite podcast player.👉🏽 Join the Naturally Conscious Community to nourish human-plant relationships// Get to Know Me, Tigrilla //// Let's Work Together //// Shop from EcoConscious Partners //Shift NetworkMore PartnersOpening and Closing music by @Cyberinga  and Poinsettia.// Let's Connect on Social // Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Youtube

This conversation with Penelope Mavor took an unexpected—and beautiful—turn. We set out to talk about land-based leadership and Earth connection... and instead uncovered the deeper threads of solitude, sovereignty, and the paradox of being “solo together.”Penelope and I reflect on our own practices, the myths of separateness, and why solitude isn't about isolation—it’s about reconnection.This one’s for the sensitive leaders, the multipotentialites navigating inner noise, and anyone who’s forgotten that stillness is also a superpower.// MY GUEST // Penelope Mavor is the founder of nature-based leadership collaborative, Earth Converse supporting leaders step up for people and planet. With over 25 years of experience in sustainability and leadership development.Topics Covered about nature-based leadership➡️ “Solo Together” is a model for wholeness: sovereign AND interconnected.➡️ Nature helps us attune without overwhelm—by softening into presence.➡️ Real leadership starts with self—embodied, relational, and intuitive.➡️ The land teaches in ways no human teacher can—through vibration and co-creation.Chapters00:00 - Intro & Guest Welcome01:55 - What Is Earth Conversing?06:16 - Redefining Sustainability & Leadership24:11 - 🌳 Who Gives A Crap Ad Break26:04 - Learning Attunement from Nature31:06 - Nature as Co-Creator, Not Tool36:17 - From Loneliness to Sacred Stillness51:01 - Nature-Based Coaching in Practice56:05 - Final Reflections: Independent and InterrelatedResources Mentioned🌱  Earth Converse by Penelope Mavor🌱  What's Your Spirit Wild Plant?🌱  Personalized mentorship with me and the PlantsExpanded Show Notes☝🏽ReConnect with Plant Wisdom podcast Ancient and modern knowledge from biology to spirituality about the wondrous ways plants help you lead a Naturally Conscious life.Subscribe here and on your favorite podcast player.👉🏽 Join the Naturally Conscious Community to nourish human-plant relationships// Get to Know Me, Tigrilla //// Let's Work Together //// Shop from EcoConscious Partners //Who Gives A Crap?

The most powerful transformations often start with the simplest questions. In this episode, I explore one of the most essential, yet overlooked, relationships in our lives—the one we have with food and the land it comes from.Together with Samantha Jewel, we unpack how carbon in the soil is not just about climate—it's about connection, health, and the future of our ecosystem.  We talk about plant intelligence on a systems level—how carbon sequestration, nutrient density, and farmer consciousness all co-create the future. And we ask the deeper questions: What if beauty wasn’t the measure of food quality? What if joy and relationship were?Topics Covered about Conscious Food Choices and Regenerative Food Systems ➡️ The link between soil carbon, nutrient density, and plant-human co-creation. ➡️ Why the consciousness of the farmer affects the vitality of the land. ➡️ The myth of "organic" as a guarantee of health. ➡️ How the food we eat reflects our collective values and relationships.Chapters00:00 Introduction01:20 Meet Samantha Jewel06:00 Rethinking Carbon and Soil10:00 What Regenerative Farming Really Looks Like15:30 Gaia18:00 Local Food & Land-Based Intelligence 26:00 The Consciousness of Farming 34:00 Reclaiming Food as Medicine 42:00 Final Thoughts + Samantha’s Book//My Guest//  Samantha Jewel, a soil carbon expert of some 27 years giving her the title an “OG” in the carbon space, whose insights bridge the gap between sustainable agriculture and impactful environmental practices.

What if death wasn’t an ending, but an invitation to evolve?In this episode, I sit down with Munay, a visionary medicine woman who brings together ancient wisdom and quantum science to explore the cellular essence of life and death. We dive deep into what it means to die every day—not in fear, but as an act of regeneration and reprogramming. Together, we explore the sacred role of self-responsibility, the invisible threads of mycelial connection (both Earthly and celestial), and how working with plants reveals truths about who we really are.You’ll hear stories of Aloe Vera as a boundary-setting mentor, the concept of energetic placentas, and the way plants gently guide us to reclaim our essence.

What happens when you give plants a visual voice in the digital world? In this episode, I talk with Sophie Gardner, a pioneering artist who creates stunning visual and audio expressions generated directly from plant data. Our conversation explores the deep interconnection between plants, creativity, and technology—and how plants can inform our artistic processes in ways we never imagined. Sophie shares how plants “doodle” in 3D space, create abstract self-portraits, and even orchestrate bird-song-like soundscapes. This is more than art—it's co-creation at a new level of consciousness.We also talk about rest, resilience, and soft power in a world addicted to constant output. There’s wisdom here for all of us trying to live more present, connected lives—especially if you're a nature-inspired creative, artist, or visionary.This one will expand your mind and nourish your soul. 🌱💫Topics Covered about Plant-Generated Art➡️ How plants create visual “self-portraits” through live-coded systems➡️ Why presence, not performance, is central to creative evolution➡️ Rest as a form of natural intelligence➡️ The role of plant co-creation in future-focused genres like solarpunk and ecopunk Chapters00:00 Introduction06:58 Sacred Self and Nature13:26 Who Gives A Crap?15:27 Holistic Thinking for Mental Health23:33 Nature's Wonder and Intellectualization37:12 Interconnectedness of Human and Non-Human Entities42:52 Gratitude and Connection in Daily Life46:39 Intuition and Non-Logic in Consciousness53:21 One Sacred Earth ProjectResources Mentioned🌱 Music of the Plants🌱 flow & echo (Sophie Gardner’s site)🌱 Personalized mentorship with me and the Plants Expanded Show Notes☝🏽ReConnect with Plant Wisdom podcast Ancient and modern knowledge from biology to spirituality about the wondrous ways plants help you lead a Naturally Conscious life.Subscribe here and on your favorite podcast player.👉🏽 Join the Naturally Conscious Community to nourish human-plant relationships// Get to Know Me, Tigrilla //// Let's Work Together //// Shop from EcoConscious Partners //Music of the PlantsMore Partners: https://tigrillagardenia.com/shop/Opening and Closing music by @Cyberinga  and Poinsettia.// Let's Connect on Social // Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Youtube

This episode was one of those soul-nourishing conversations that had me reflecting long after we hit stop. I sat down with Jamie Harvie—an engineer, strategist, and bridge-builder between healthcare, ecological wellbeing, and sacred connection. We explored what it really means to be in relationship with the world around and within us, not as isolated individuals but as deeply interconnected beings.From the fragmentation of modern life to the beauty of feeling held by the microbes in our bodies and the kin in our communities, this episode invites you into the mystery of being alive. Jamie and I talked about the power of gratitude, the importance of somatic knowing, and how to build inner and outer ecosystems that support thriving—not just surviving.If you’ve ever felt like your love for Nature and your many passions didn’t fit into modern frameworks of success or mental health, this conversation is your invitation to honor that difference. You are not broken. You are deeply alive.Topics Covered about Mental Health through Nature Connection➡️ Positive mental health is more than the absence of struggle—it’s about connection, meaning, and gratitude.➡️ We are never truly alone: plants, microbes, and kin surround and support us.➡️ Complexity science is helping us normalize mystery and nonlinear understanding.➡️ Gratitude isn’t fluffy—it’s foundational to wellbeing and collaboration.Chapters00:00 Introduction06:58 Sacred Self and Nature13:26 Who Gives A Crap?15:27 Holistic Thinking for Mental Health23:33 Nature's Wonder and Intellectualization37:12 Interconnectedness of Human and Non-Human Entities42:52 Gratitude and Connection in Daily Life46:39 Intuition and Non-Logic in Consciousness53:21 One Sacred Earth ProjectResources Mentioned🌱 About Jamie Harvie🌱 One Sacred Earth Project🌱 Aliveness Initiative🌱 Plant Wisdom Book Club🌱 Chaste Mimosa by Terence McMullenExpanded Show Notes☝🏽ReConnect with Plant Wisdom podcast Ancient and modern knowledge from biology to spirituality about the wondrous ways plants help you lead a Naturally Conscious life.Subscribe here and on your favorite podcast player.👉🏽 Join the Naturally Conscious Community to nourish human-plant relationships// Get to Know Me, Tigrilla //// Let's Work Together //// Shop from EcoConscious Partners //Important Messages for Humanity on GaiaMore Partners: https://tigrillagardenia.com/shop/Opening and Closing music by @Cyberinga  and Poinsettia.// Let's Connect on Social // Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Youtube

When I started this podcast, I had no idea how much it would change me—not just as a host, but as a person in deep collaboration with plants. Over the past 100 episodes, I’ve learned that true growth isn’t about having a perfect plan; it’s about showing up, refining, and co-creating with the world around you.In this milestone episode, I reflect on three major lessons I’ve learned from working with plants, podcasting, and life itself:🌱 Perseverance and Finding My Voice – Trusting the process, even when it felt unclear.🌱 Co-Creation with Plants and People – Recognizing that wisdom isn’t something we own; it’s something we cultivate together.🌱 The Power of Asking for Help – Understanding that receiving support isn’t weakness—it’s part of how ecosystems thrive. Topics Covered about Plant Wisdom Podcast Reflection➡️ Growth happens through presence, not perfection.➡️ Plants (and life) respond when we engage with curiosity, not control.➡️ Collaboration deepens impact—whether with plants or people.➡️ Asking for help strengthens, rather than weakens, our work.Chapters00:00 Welcome02:37 Reflecting on 100 Episodes04:56 Perseverance & Finding My Voice12:41 Important Messages for Humanity on Gaia25:13 Co-Creating with Plants & People32:59 The Strength in Asking for Help48:07 Banyan’s Wisdom: A Closing Reflection55:45 Final Thoughts & OutroResources Mentioned🌱 Watch Gaia Original Series 🌱 Plant Wisdom Book Club🌱 Sprouts Writing & Creativity Group🌱 What's Your Spirit Wild Plant? 🌱 Personalized mentorship with me and the PlantsExpanded Show Notes☝🏽ReConnect with Plant Wisdom podcast Ancient and modern knowledge from biology to spirituality about the wondrous ways plants help you lead a Naturally Conscious life.Subscribe here and on your favorite podcast player.👉🏽 Join the Naturally Conscious Community to nourish human-plant relationships// Get to Know Me, Tigrilla //// Let's Work Together //// Shop from EcoConscious Partners //Important Messages for Humanity on GaiaMore Partners: https://tigrillagardenia.com/shop/Opening and Closing music by @Cyberinga  and Poinsettia.// Let's Connect on Social // Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Youtube

What if the way we work is fundamentally out of sync with our nature?In this episode, I sit down with Tommy Serafinski to explore how modern life has stripped us of the deep, intuitive connection to land that our ancestors once had. We dive into hunter-gatherer wisdom, seasonal rhythms, and attunement to the ecosystem, revealing how these natural cycles foster a sense of safety, balance, and ease—things we often feel are missing in our structured, productivity-driven world.Hunter-gatherers weren’t constantly stressed about survival. They understood the landscape so well that gathering food was not a daily grind but a rhythmic, flowing relationship with the land. Meanwhile, we push through work in artificial cycles that ignore our bodies’ needs, making stress feel inevitable.So how do we reclaim our natural rhythm? How do we break free from the myth that structure equals security?This episode will shift how you think about time, work, and your own inner landscape. Tune in to rediscover the natural intelligence that already lives within you. Topics Covered about Natural Rhythms and Productivity➡️ Hunter-gatherer societies were less stressed than we are, not more.➡️ Our obsession with structure and productivity disconnects us from natural rhythms.➡️ True attunement comes from deep observation, relationship with the land, and trust in cycles.➡️ Business and life can function like an ecosystem—responsive, adaptable, and deeply connected.Chapters00:00 Introduction04:12 Transition to Outdoor and Science14:23 Stone Age Economics and Modern Stress20:43 Natural Rhythms for Enhanced Productivity28:35 Shift your Personal Transformation34:10 Self-Awareness and Tuning Into the Body48:49 Control and InsecurityResources Mentioned🌱  Tommy's Podcast: Conservation and Science🌱  Personalized mentorship with me and the PlantsExpanded Show Notes☝🏽ReConnect with Plant Wisdom podcast Ancient and modern knowledge from biology to spirituality about the wondrous ways plants help you lead a Naturally Conscious life.Subscribe here and on your favorite podcast player.👉🏽 Join the Naturally Conscious Community to nourish human-plant relationships// Get to Know Me, Tigrilla //// Let's Work Together //// Shop from EcoConscious Partners //Important Messages for Humanity on GaiaMore Partners: https://tigrillagardenia.com/shop/Opening and Closing music by @Cyberinga  and Poinsettia.// Let's Connect on Social // Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Youtube

Have you ever felt a plant’s presence shift something deep inside you—an emotion, a memory, a sensation? Communication with kin isn’t limited to words. Plants don’t just “speak”—they resonate, evoke, and co-create. And the more we open to their language, the more we transform how we listen to ourselves, others, and the world.In this episode, I explore the many ways plants communicate beyond thought and logic—through the body, spontaneous creativity, and emotions we don’t always understand at first. Some messages arrive as a physical nudge, an image in your mind, or a sound that lingers long after you’ve left their presence.This isn't about translating their language into something human—it’s about dissolving our conditioning so we can hear what’s always been there. When we stop looking for meaning in the usual places, we unlock a richer, more dynamic dialogue—one that doesn’t just connect us to kin, but redefines how we engage with life itself🌿 Are you ready to expand the way you receive messages from kin?Topics Covered about Nonverbal Plant Communication➡️ Plants communicate through sensation, movement, and subtle energetic shifts, not just thoughts.➡️ Doodles, music, and body movement can be bridges for plant messages.➡️ Plants can trigger forgotten emotions or past experiences as a form of insight.➡️ Learning to receive plant communication deepens self-trust and refines discernment.Chapters00:00 Introduction15:06 Plant Music Transforms Lives22:20 Plant Communication Evolves Skills33:50 Embracing One's Artistic Side37:15 Creativity Through Plant Communication45:30 Through Images and Movement51:30 Community EngagementResources Mentioned🌱 Voices of Plants for a Better World🌱 Music of the Plants🌱  Personalized mentorship with me and the PlantsExpanded Show Notes☝🏽ReConnect with Plant Wisdom podcast Ancient and modern knowledge from biology to spirituality about the wondrous ways plants help you lead a Naturally Conscious life.Subscribe here and on your favorite podcast player.👉🏽 Join the Naturally Conscious Community to nourish human-plant relationships// Get to Know Me, Tigrilla //// Let's Work Together //// Shop from EcoConscious Partners //Important Messages for Humanity on GaiaMore Partners: https://tigrillagardenia.com/shop/Opening and Closing music by @Cyberinga  and Poinsettia.// Let's Connect on Social // Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Youtube

I never expected this conversation to unfold the way it did. When I sat down with Scottie, I thought we’d talk about plant medicine, but what emerged was a deeply intricate journey—one that weaves military discipline, salsa dancing, ayahuasca, and ancestral connection into a path of profound transformation.Scottie embodies the true essence of a multipotentialite—moving through diverse experiences, seemingly unrelated at first, yet all leading to his calling as a plant witch and steward of the land. If you’ve ever felt like your many passions pull you in different directions, this episode will give you a new lens: What if all of your experiences are threads of the same tapestry, waiting to reveal their pattern?We explore what it means to serve the plants, to let nature—not society—shape our purpose, and how stepping into deep relationship with land, music, and medicine plants can create unexpected clarity.Topics Covered about Multipassionate Spiritual Journey ➡️ How seemingly unrelated passions can come together to reveal your purpose. ➡️ The difference between using plants and being in reciprocal service to them. ➡️ Why deep attunement to place matters in personal and spiritual evolution. ➡️ Music as a portal to plant consciousness and ancestral wisdom.Resources Mentioned 🌱 Coyotipi Escuela de Musica🌱 Music of the Plants 🌱 Personalized mentorship with me and the PlantsExpanded Show Notes☝🏽ReConnect with Plant Wisdom podcast Ancient and modern knowledge from biology to spirituality about the wondrous ways plants help you lead a Naturally Conscious life.👉🏽 Join the Naturally Conscious Community to nourish human-plant relationships// Get to Know Me, Tigrilla //// Let's Work Together //// Shop from EcoConscious Partners //Make Music with PlantsMore Partners: https://tigrillagardenia.com/shop/Opening and Closing music by @Cyberinga  and Poinsettia.// Let's Connect on Social // Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Youtube

What if we stopped thinking of gardening as just a way to grow food and instead saw it as a co-creative partnership with nature? In this episode, I sit down with Spence Madden to explore frequency gardening and electroculture—practices that go beyond neat rows and control-based agriculture.Spence is on a mission to cultivate food sovereignty by working with nature’s intelligence rather than imposing human will. We dive into how tuning into land, listening to plant kin, and embracing natural synchronicities can create wildly productive, high-frequency gardens—whether you're growing on a patio or a multi-acre farm.Plus, we explore why most gardening still operates from fear and scarcity rather than flow and reciprocity, and how shifting our mindset can unlock deeper relationships with plants. If you’re ready to see food and nature in a whole new way, this episode will expand your perspective. Topics Covered about Co-Creative Gardening➡️ Moving beyond control-based gardening methods leads to higher yields and deeper connections with nature.➡️ Self-sustaining food systems are directly linked to spiritual expansion and greater consciousness.➡️ Earth's natural electromagnetic fields can be harnessed to nourish plants through frequency gardening and electroculture.➡️ By tuning into nature’s cues, you can allow the land to guide what and how you grow.Chapters00:00 Introduction03:19 Food Sovereignty and Spiritual Evolution10:59 Co-Creative Gardening16:20 Messages for Humanity on Gaia26:28 Nature, Technology, and Intuitive Gardening46:03 Gardening, Permaculture, and Tomato Reflections50:58 Frequency Gardening and Conscious CultivationResources Mentioned🌱 Learn Electroculture with Spence🌱 Plant Wisdom Book Club🌱 Sprouts Writing and Creativity Group🌱 Personalized mentorship with me and the PlantsExpanded Show Notes☝🏽ReConnect with Plant Wisdom podcast Ancient and modern knowledge from biology to spirituality about the wondrous ways plants help you lead a Naturally Conscious life.Subscribe here and on your favorite podcast player.👉🏽 Join the Naturally Conscious Community to nourish human-plant relationships// Get to Know Me, Tigrilla //// Let's Work Together //// Shop from EcoConscious Partners // Important Messages for Humanity on GaiaMore Partners: https://tigrillagardenia.com/shop/ Opening and Closing music by @Cyberinga  and Poinsettia.// Let's Connect on Social // Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Youtube

In this episode, I explore what it truly means to be a pioneer thinker—someone who sees possibilities before others, carves new paths, and thrives in the unknown. Nature is full of pioneers—fireweed, lichens, and other species that move into disrupted spaces and create the conditions for new life to emerge. And just like them, your role isn’t to fit in—it’s to reshape the landscape.But being ahead of the curve can be lonely. It takes resilience, trust in your vision, and a personal ecosystem that supports your growth. Together, we’ll explore how to thrive without waiting for permission, cultivate support even when others don’t fully understand you, and build a future where your visionary ideas can flourish.Topics Covered about Alternative Thinking➡️ Why being "the black sheep" is actually a sign of leadership and innovation.➡️ How nature’s pioneer species teach us resilience and transformation.➡️ Ways to cultivate a personal ecosystem that supports your vision.➡️ How to stay true to your ideas, even when others don’t see what you see.Chapters00:00 Introduction02:40 Embracing the Outlier in Nature12:03 Who Gives a Crap?13:50 Visionary Ideas and Change20:27 Pioneer Species and Landscape Evolution27:20 Pioneer Species: Healers and Architects31:07 Personal Ecosystems for CreativityResources Mentioned🌱 What's Your Spirit Wild Plant?🌱 Personalized mentorship with me and the PlantsExpanded Show Notes☝🏽ReConnect with Plant Wisdom podcast Ancient and modern knowledge from biology to spirituality about the wondrous ways plants help you lead a Naturally Conscious life.Subscribe here and on your favorite podcast player.👉🏽 Join the Naturally Conscious Community to nourish human-plant relationships// Get to Know Me, Tigrilla //// Let's Work Together //// Shop from EcoConscious Partners //Who Gives A Crap?

Life feels chaotic right now—personally, globally, and in ways that are hard to name. But here’s the thing: Nature doesn’t resist chaos—it thrives in it.In this episode, I dive into what plants teach us about resilience, rest, and building support systems that help us navigate uncertainty. From the deep-rooted strength of mangroves to the quiet patience of bulbs lying dormant, Nature offers powerful models for staying grounded without forcing progress.Resilience isn’t just about pushing forward—it’s about knowing when to pause, when to root deeper, and when to adapt to the tides of change. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, this episode is your reminder that Nature has your back—and that even in chaos, there’s a rhythm worth trusting.🎧 Listen now and find your center amid the uncertainty.Topics Covered about Nature-Inspired Resilience Strategies➡️ How to stay grounded even in shifting conditions➡️ Learning from bulbs that wait for the right conditions➡️ Why relationships (even the difficult ones) are key to thriving➡️ How to trust life’s cycles rather than forcing controlResources Mentioned🌱 Ep.88 Epagomenal Days & Intentions for the New YearExpanded Show Notes.☝🏽ReConnect with Plant Wisdom podcast Ancient and modern knowledge from biology to spirituality about the wondrous ways plants help you lead a Naturally Conscious life.

In this episode, we dive deep into the natural wisdom of disruption and transformation. We often view upheaval as something to fear, but what if we approached it the way nature does? Nature teaches us that adaptation is the key to resilience.

Have you ever felt like being a "Jack of all trades" was somehow a bad thing? Trust me, I’ve been there. For years, I thought my multi-passionate nature was a flaw—jumping from one interest to another, blending creativity with technology, art with logic. But then, plants showed me something profound: nature thrives in diversity, and so can we. In this episode, I dive deep into embracing your multi-passionate self, mastering the whole instead of focusing on one thing, and thriving in your own ecosystem of talents.Topics Covered about Embracing Multipotentiality➡️ How the phrase “Jack of all trades, master of none” misleads us.➡️  Why multiplicity and adaptability are your superpowers.➡️  Lessons from nature: embracing diversity within and around you.➡️  Practical steps to harmonize your unique talents into a cohesive life.Resources Mentioned Plant Consciousness Commentary Where I live, Damanhur Spiritual Community Plant Wisdom Book Club Embrace Your MultiPassionate NatureExpanded Show HERE🌟Connect with nature-conscious creatives, multipotentialites, and naturentrepreneursin the premier online ecosystem that nourishes plant reawakening and community support for accelerated evolution and co-creation with otherkin. >> JOIN OUR COMMUNITY <<☝🏽ReConnect with Plant Wisdom podcast Ancient and modern knowledge from biology to spirituality about the wondrous ways plants help you lead a Naturally Conscious life.
