Deepen Your Understanding

When building relationships with fluid bodies and plant allies a deep perspective and understanding is needed. Beyond a prescriptive lens, we need to more deeply understand physiology, foundational building blocks of why things work together (and why they don’t!), and scaffold our knowledge to include personal experience, collective wisdom, intuition, and mentored study. Dig in, dig deep, and build the wisdom you've been looking for. 

4 Cohort Gatherings

Cohort gatherings support trust building, resource sharing, and connection to build a network of like-minded care providers we can call on for peer support, counseling, review collaboration. Guided containers support case study sharing, wise counsel, mentorship, camaraderie, and facilitate building the network you dream of.
