Dreaming does not exist in a vacuum, it's in no way separate from the rest of our lives and psyches. Dreaming is trying to help the waking life... but what do I mean by help?
In this episode we explore how I belive that dreaming is trying to help you fulfill the reason that you came here to this world, to aid your spiritual evolution, to grow your healing. Dreaming wants to help you soften ever more into love's embrace...
But all of this only occurs if we believe it to be so. This episode deepens our exploration of how what we believe about dreams, and life, matters in the meaning we make from dreams and the steps we take to weave them.
I dive into a few more of my core beliefs about life and dreams including how:
- We, all human beings and all life, are all related. We are family and we are in this together.
- Dreams are, as Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes says a letter from home that come to awaken us.
- Dreams, and the meaning we make from them, should make us more loving, kind, warm and helpful.
HERBAL DREAMERS - for herbalists, healers and spirit workers to learn HOW to bring dreams into their herbalism.
RAISING UP DREAMWEAVERS - for adults with inner and outer children to help tend the unfurling soul within us all, raising kids free from overculture's grasp.
DREAMWEAVERS CIRCLE TEACHER TRAINING - LIVE online container for those who tend, or want to tend, the SOUL of individuals, community, collective and Mother Earth.

Rhythms & Relationships: A Feminine Way Into Herbalism | w/ Kimberly Gallagher
Friday, September 4, 2026 • Duration 42:01
Join Kimberly Gallagher and I as we share the origin story of our collaboration on the upcoming course Rhythms and Relationships: A Feminine Way into Herbalism.
Spoiler alert: the project was seeded in a dream. The dream involved a puppy that we were to raise together... May this story water seeds of inspiration in your heart to turn your attention in dreaming's direction and be foolish (brave?) enough to give weaving it a go!
Kimberly also shares with us why this work matters in uncertain times, speaking to:
The crumbling of patriarchal structures and the collective uncertainty that brings.
The choice to root yourself in the solid things — plants, elements, Earth, neighbors — rather than relying on cultural structures that are shaking.
The importance of honing our listening skills allows us to discern what's needed moment to moment amidst rapid fire change.
We also explore how...
Plants have always been the people's medicine.
Herbalists serve as conduits, learning their medicine, and transmitting that healing to their communities.
As systems destabilize, bioregional-relational-herbal knowledge becomes even more critical.
Modern mobility has eroded belonging, and the importance of rooting in place: Reweaving local connections is both medicinal and practical preparation for times when neighbors and nearby plants are who you rely on.

Superpowers of the Feminine: On Other-Than-Linear Ways of Knowing
Tuesday, August 25, 2026 • Duration 17:53
This episode is a love note to the inner feminine and a prayer to bring balance to the masculine and feminine within our selves, our communities and our world. Restoring this balance begins, as always, first within our own minds and hearts.
Join me on a journey to explore the state of the relational dance between these inner forces, while examining how much value, or lack of value, your feminine has been receiving.
Oftentimes a pattern of devaluing her has been with us for years, decades, lifetimes and generations. This was certainly the case for me. But as I share, these capacities reawoke with the gift of my attention, my intention, a wee bit of instruction and permission by teachers, the plants and Nature herself.
Here's my permission to you to re-awaken the superpowers of the feminine, including:
Dreaming
Instincts, Feelings & Sensations
Receptive Listening & Nature Communication
Experiencing Relatedness & Interconnection
Tracking Patterns, Synchronicity & Systems Thinking
Re-enthroning these capacities are, in my estimation, a primary task of modern human beings to move through the collective birth portal and into a deeper embodied experience of our interconnectedness.
Q+A EPISODE: The Higher Order that Dreams Us, Dream-Journal Overwhelm, and Why Nightmares Repeat
Tuesday, July 28, 2026 • Duration 01:05:14
In this first Q&A episode, my dear friend Emily sits in the interviewer's chair and brings your questions to me. Join us as we weave through the heart of Herbs and Dreams: why herbs and dreams belong together, how the plants become our teachers and allies, and how to tend a dreamweaving practice that actually grounds into the rhythm of your life and lasts the long haul.
The questions traverse diverse terrain including...
How there is a higher order that dreams us and has been dreaming us all along
How to begin meeting the wild medicinal plants where you live
What to do when dream journaling feels overwhelming
Why a dreaming practice ebbs and flows through the seasons of a life
Why our hardest dreams, nightmares and recurring dreams, are often the most important medicine of all
The teachers and plants that have shaped my path
... and a bit more of my story.

The Medicine of Summer: On Beauty, Flowering, and Shining Your Most Authentic Self
Tuesday, June 30, 2026 • Duration 18:13
This episode is a blessing and a prayer to the summer in your heart. Having just crossed into the season on the heels of a solstice that felt like sweet medicine, I reflect on the turning of the wheel and the particular gift this time of year offers: permission to revel in the warmth, the light, and the beauty, and to shine your fullest, most authentic self.
This is, in fact, exactly what life needs from us. To be and create Beauty.
Join me as we reclaim Beauty from the narrow clutches of the dominant culture and return it to what the flowers have always known - that beauty blossoms from within and inspires life to grow outside of itself. For this dream world of Mother Earth to remain a beautiful one - it requires each one of US to boldly shine as the unique vibration of creation that we are.
Blessed be your Beauty, dear ones! And thank you for the medicine that you are!
The Wild Woman Within is the Medicine | Kris Haraldson of Thriving Imperfectly
Tuesday, June 16, 2026 • Duration 01:02:35
Kris Haraldson is an herbalist, shadow work coach, teacher, healer and general badass who loves helping women wake up to realizing they don't need to be anyone other than who they are. Kris walks us through her early quest to understand stories about women, how we conceptualize ourselves and how we can break free. Her life has been guided by the questions:
What are the stories we carry and how do they impact us?
How does other people's reaction to our stories impact our sense of self?
What about the stories we inherit from religion, the overculture, etc?
Kris was in the throes of studying psychology in a very cerebral academic setting when she started having visions that she had no context for. Sitting in her graduate classes flashes of quietly gathering plant medicines while feeling at peace and connected filled her mind's eye.
This eventually lead to Goddess worship which helped her reconstruct an identity of womanhood that included the arts of herbalism, shamanism, energy work and intuitive work. Her experiences blew open her little researcher brain in ways she could not explain. It rooted her into her body then guided her into the terrain of shadow work.
We also dive deep on:
the shortcomings of identifying with our trauma
the power of medicinal relationships and growing up out of our childhood wounding
how in the midst of an individualist culture, the plants and Mother Earth can fill the communal relational role within our psyches to help us heal.
our favorite herbs to support trauma
how the wild woman shows up in our bodies and menstrual cycles
how when women learn to work with the wild woman aspect of ourselves, our health will change and the world will change
Beyond Detoxification: The Ancient Art of Herbal Nourishment | Alyssa Mancini of Herbs, Love & Yoga
Tuesday, May 26, 2026 • Duration 56:08
Join Alyssa Mancini of Herbs, Love and Yoga as we dive into the ancient and nourishing undercurrents beneath herbalism and what it truly means to heal.
As a community herbalist apothecary owner, Alyssa has a unique insider's view on the currents in herbal healing and collective consciousness. With so much info out there on herbal medicine right now, Alyssa advises us to instead - go down the path of embodiment. "You could have all the knowledge in the world between your two ears but if you are not actually embodying walking with the plants and trying them - not much of true substance will be gained." We explore how much of what the holistic healing spaces teach us is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing, and the wise woman way of nourishment is often the answer.
Alyssa and I also explore...
The ancient magic of the community apothecary
The art and science of holding space with grace and humility, and asking good questions
The mass messages that community herbalists are up against
Alyssa's favorite herbs to open intuition.
The role of ritual in our walk as herbalists.
Alyssa's go to blend for syncing with the dream space.
Dreams grow soul - in our lives, families, communities and the world. But so what and who cares? For any practice to be sustainable it must improve the quality of our lived experience. In this episode we explore the answer to the question so what and who cares about dreams... We explore the side benefits of dreamweaving. Side benefits are positive consequences that grow in our lives as a result of our actions... and, my friends, there are MANY side benefits of turning in the direction of dreams. Here are some of my favorites, the ones that keep me coming back every night for more.
In this episode we explore how dreamweaving grows...
Using Our Hearts & Hands as Herbalists | Whitney Popham of The School of Evolutionary Herbalism
Tuesday, April 21, 2026 • Duration 01:08:30
Join my conversation with the grounded and wise Whitney Popham of the School of Evolutionary Herbalism. Whitney's words are like a breath of fresh air, cutting through the superficial chatter that fills so much of today's spaces. Truly, I invite you to listen deeply to her words. I predict their simple wisdom will become more and more *absolutely essential* and rare, in the days to come.
Whitney desribes a profound moment with motherwort where she knew, "If I want to help the world I have to help myself" and "this (herbalism) is what i'm supposed to do." Whitney shares how her connection to the land as a farmer and grower, and her mothering, syncs her up to her ancestors, the rhythm of the land and an older way of life.
She reminds us the importance of working with our hands as herbalists and how plants connect us to something real, something older. How the more grounded, practical things we can do with our hands will nourish us in ways that looking something up online cannot. She shares how the plants you're taking will reach in and touch you deeply, touch your heart and your mind and cause a ripple effect.
Whitney's words are like a warm cup of chamomile tea after a harrowing day of frayed nerves and mishaps. This woman is MEDICINE - and I urge you to listen with your deeper ears to what she is sharing. Then share it with your people.
