Abundance in my world…

Slow mornings after a full sleep
Quiet
Cool air before a hot day

Cold showers & meditation
Drip coffee
Waking up before my warrior goddesses
Augustus’ smooches

Water in my rain barrels
Fresh milk and eggs delivered to my porch
Generous garden of food and flowers
Paper and pencils

Health
Touch
Shared time with friends

Laughter

All the clients who come through my door and
Welcome me into their spaces.
The ones freshly born, those end of life and all the waves we share in-between.

The opportunity for giving and receiving
love in so many landscapes
Landscapes of skin and
Landscape of earth.

Time

The dry stack of stones so long in my mind
And a lonely twisted pine.

The whisper Is thankyou
And so is my song.

“The number of hours we have together is actually not so large.
Please linger near the door uncomfortably
Instead of just leaving.
Please forget your scarf in my life and come back later for it.” ~mikko harvey

Picture by me
Words are one of my favourite poems.

My heart is thankful for peace, the gift of life and
those (plants, waters and people) we walk with on our journey home.

The season where everything grows as it will.

There’s a tension here.

Let it go. Let it go. Let it grow.

Your soul was just beautiful~Tammy🤍
I will miss you.
Our talks~our time. Our shared love of flowers, community & creating. Your smiling eyes.

I feel you sitting quietly (as you wanted) listening to the birds and the wind in the leaves with the gentle sun on your head.

Akaal. Akaal. Akaal. And a deep bow.

It is with heavy hearts we share the passing of our beloved Tammy Mackenzie 🤍 🪽

She will be deeply missed.
She made beautiful connections with many people throughout her life but the connections she made while at the Farmhouse filled her hearts desires.

We appreciate your thoughts and support during this difficult time for not only the family but the staff she shared her dream with.

Buffalo Sage & the Medicine of Turning In

I spent the weekend harvesting Buffalo Sage in southern Alberta- this ritual of gathering medicines is one that has been part of my life for many years. And it is not lost on me that I’m cultivating my human relationships at the same time that I am in communion and harvesting the plant medicines. It’s all about relationship.

There is sage all over these lands, but the Buffalo Sage that grows here—on the land where the bison roam or once did—holds something different. Something ancient. Something brave.

The bison, in a storm, are one of the only animals that will turn and face it. While most animals try to outrun the storm, drifting along with it, searching for shelter, often perishing from the exhaustion of being in it too long—the bison turns into the storm. It walks straight in. The storm might be intense, but they get through it faster. They endure it head-on. That’s the wisdom of the bison. That’s their medicine. Their bravery. Leaning into their knowing.

In the Blackfoot Sundance traditions,that I’ve been blessed to be connected with, one of the calls you hear is “Hoka.”
It means to turn. To pivot.
It’s not just a word—it’s a directive. A teaching.

That is part of what makes Buffalo Sage so sacred. It carries this medicine of turning inward—especially when we’re stuck, fixated, lost in loops of thinking or patterns of avoidance.
When we’re trying not to feel.
When we’re dissociating or numbing in ways that our culture often celebrates—overworking, endless productivity, reaching for substances or distractions.
But all of that keeps us outside ourselves, and it takes a toll on the body.

Because when we leave ourselves, we suffer.
And abandonment of the self—though many of us know the pain of being left by others—self abandonment is one of the most painful things we can live through.

Buffalo Sage reminds us to turn in. To stay. To hoka toward ourselves.
Not to reach outside for something to save us, but to turn inside, toward our own deep wisdom. Because it is always there.
It will always lead us through.

And the safest place we can ever stay is within ourselves.
Not to isolate. Not to shut people out.
But to be rooted in ourselves so we can be safe for others. So we can truly be in relationship- in community.

This weekend, I thought I’d be harvesting alone. But I wasn’t.
Close friends came with me.
We were sheltered by each other and welcomed onto sacred land where their family has lived for generations.
We shared stories and food and tea. We connected with horses.
We gathered Buffalo Sage together.

And in that too—that is part of the medicine.
Bison aren’t solitary creatures.
They are herd animals.
There is power in community.
And when that community is built from presence, from shared ritual, from being anchored in ourselves—it’s medicine.

This is why Buffalo Sage is the foundation of my smudging practice.
It’s the coal. The core. The plant I return to again and again in my prayers.
Not because I have to, but because I know what it does for me.
I return to this ritual not from obligation, but from love.
Love as a discipline. Discipline from the root word “disciple”—to love, to devote to turn and follow.

And when I love and stay close to myself, I am more able to be of service. I can hold others better when I am not abandoning myself.

There is so much medicine that Buffalo Sage carries.
There is the healing properties of the plant itself. The ritual. The way it was gathered. The relationships of community, plants to plant, human to human, human to plant…
The storm we all, in our own ways, are learning to walk into instead of run from.
So much medicine.

I’m so honored to gather this medicine and to bring it north.
To share it with our community.
To teach the practice of staying close.
Of returning.
Of remembering what’s already inside.

Hoka.

Honoured to be part of this- thank you for inviting me, Rob and Bobby-Jo 🤍
Rekindling the Village

Another healer & gifted human to add to our spectacular list of Presenters at the Rekindling the Village Festival on July 11-13 💚🌲💚

Erin Sproule (WildTree Wellness) walks the wild edge where land, spirit, and body meet. Rooted in her Métis and Irish heritage and guided by the breath of the land, she offers a weaving of Compassionate Inquiry counselling, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, breathwork, yoga therapy, meditation, and Traditional Chinese Medicine-based practices, alongside other integrative, soma-based therapies.
Her work welcomes all ages and life stages, with a heart attuned to the sacred thresholds of birth, end of life, and the spaces in between—where human health, for women, men, and the collective—can truly thrive.
At Rekindling the Village, Erin will offer a sound bath with WildTree’s 32” symphonic gong—a space to land, soften, and heal in high frequency, attuning to the infinite wisdom held in the breath, the medicine carried in our own sound, the stillness of meditation, and the quiet intelligence of the body.
God willing, she will also bring this season’s harvest of plant medicines and ritual, gathered in relationship and offered in devotion—gifts to help us remember our deep belonging, within ourselves and with the living land.
“When we come back into relationship with the land, with ourselves, and with each other, we remember who we are. We remember how to heal.”

Your Grandmother’s Prayers Are Still Protecting You

When my young ones wake in the night,
and I love them gently, back toward sleep,
I do not mourn the lost hours.

This quiet becomes an altar.

A place to lay down prayers —
not just for them,
but for their children’s children.

Prayers woven like roots,
stretching forward through time,
to hold them
in the long nights,
when I am no longer here.

Like the old trees that keep standing,
even after their leaves are gone,
these prayers will remain —
quiet guardians
in the dark.

🤍e
