calling in the wise woman

of the earth

“In the Wise Woman Tradition we nourish. We do not fix or cure or balance. We nourish health, wholeness/holiness in each individual, ever aware of each individual as related to family/community/universe, in spiraling, ever-changing completeness.

Problems become doorways for transformation... The Wise Woman Tradition tells us that compassion, simple ritual, and common herbs heal the whole person and maintain health/wholeness/holiness… The Wise Woman Tradition asks, how is this problem my ally? How does this condition benefit me? What nourishment am I given by my pain/problem? What part of myself is revealed here? What nourishment does it need? How shall I nourish my wholeness? What strengthens me, my community, and Mother Earth in this situation? There are no rules. There are no cures. There are no healers. Everything is our cure, a doorway to wholeness. We are all healers.”

- Healing Wise, Susan Weed

Meet yourself where you are in this moment without any need to change it.  You are the roots existing in the soil, grounded through many cycles and seasons.

Go deeper into your own being and meet yourself there.  Lean into curiosity without control.  You are the mystery, moment to moment.  You are of the Earth.

You are not a problem to be fixed. You are the elements and rhythms of earth. You are earth, water, air, and fire. That’s why you feel at home among the trees, immersed in the water, sitting quietly at its edges, following the sun and feeling the wind at your back. It’s all for you. You are of the Earth.

You are not metrics or solutions. You are not age or timelines. You are like the colors of the sunset shifting from golden yellow to burnt orange against the backdrop of evergreen and blossoming trees.

You are the water flowing over rocks, moving with the current of life force within you. You are the wind that moves back-and-forth across the chimes making music in all your weather.

You are the ancient tree fallen in pieces, covered in the beauty of moss, giving life to the organisms and soil, honoring the natural cycles of death and rebirth.  You are of the Earth.

You are not broken. Healing is not a state of perfection, but your presence with the process.  Healing is not linear.  It's a spiral path inward. Open space within you for the solidity and mystery of being.

A healer feels all, with presence, love, and listening. This is not outside of you.  Medicine is not hard to find.  It’s in that which helps you be with yourself, without judgment. Watch for the gift, not the fix. Breathe and receive. What are you feeling? Where are you being invited to move deeply into your own being?  

To nourish your fullness.

To embody your wholeness.

To bloom with your medicine.

Thank you for your presence.
