A sneak peak into the ceremony process for lei, salves & jewelry

A lot of the ceremony I offer is private and no part of it is planned as I listen to my intuition as to what, when, and where to take the right action.

I believe the most important thing you can do when communicating with nature is to ask for consent and to make an offering before taking. When I go to gather from nature the first thing I do is make sure I am in the right energetic head space to be gathering. Once I head into nature I  make an offering to ask if I have permission to be in the space. This often involves sound in the form of an Oli (chant), or Pule (prayer), offering my lifeforce, my breath to nature.

Part of my ceremony to collect plants is the willingness to listen openly to the wisdom they are offering. I ask if I have permission to be there and I ask for permission to collect from there. If the answer is yes (and it is not always a yes) then I continue further into nature. Listening to what plants are asking for my attention for the healing I am looking for. Once they make themselves known, I ask permission to collect from the plant, if followed by a yes, the process is repeated with each leaf, each flower, each petal. They are told the reason they are being asked to join and they are given the option to be part of the healing process or to stay where they are. With this process each plant ally that comes with me has consented to help the person or situation it is being asked for. Once gathered the plants are treated with the utmost respect and gratitude for their presence and willingness to help. 

I invite you to be curious about the connection you can make with nature.
