Dear Brigit, i have enjoyed your content since I subscribed a month or so ago, and wanted to respond to your request for feedback. What I'm most interested in hearing about is your unique viewpoint and relationship with not just nature, but with the particulars of the place you live. I love good writing. It's

nourishing to me - to hear other's particular connections with nature - as it helps me feel that there's a world wide web of tending the Earth, and she needs it so much. So I enjoy storytelling about you and those places and beings, photos like the one in this.post. I.loved the Dandelion piece. I'm often at or over saturation point with the amount of information that comes into my daily life, so shorter posts are helpful. More than one post every week or so makes me feel pressured. I like the meditations but again, 5 minutes not 20 as I don't often have 20 to devote. I have plenty of my own trauma, and skills to manage so not interested in that as a topic, so would appreciate a heads up on posts that head into that territory, as it can be triggering. As much as I'd like to see you on Zoom, I'm already maxxed out at present, and the same for writing. Warm regards, Lisa

Your information is of great value to me! Herb lore ought be celebrated and enjoyed for it's gifts. 'Lost Art'? No, herb lore such as you teach is a daily reminder that we live with a Mother, Mother Earth who feeds, clothes and nurtures us. You are timely, my dear, and I LOVE YOU. *Thank you!* Thank you just for being authentically WHO and WHAT you are! Your TRUTH is serving humankind! so, once again I am thankful for you, who serve, in this way. We need it! We need you.

I have only been a paid subscriber for a few weeks, but have read available posts of yours for sometime and particularly enjoy your writing on nature, the seasons and plants. One of the reasons I became a paid subscriber was because I wanted to access your journalling prompts and so I would like to see these retained. I am happy with recorded meditation, but generally find it easier to handle written material. I would definitely consider a monthly circle which focused on the subjects I’ve mentioned.

Thank you for your work, and for giving us the opportunity to comment on possible developments.

Warm regards,

Valerie

I think what you offer is wonderful! I'm a patreon subscriber of yours, and I was just recently wondering about the online gatherings. I never made it to one of the last ones but I am really keen. Even if it was about a particular plant, and you spoke a bit about the plant and then we maybe shared experiences of it. I love your journalling prompts too, I need to make more time to do them!

Hi Jo

Lovely to hear from you, I will begin the online gathering next month as it seems popular and I love them too. Im wondering if you would like me to convert your subscription to substack, rather than Patreon, that is, if there isn’t a hike in price for you? then you would receive the online gatherings.

Yes please brigit! Can you do that, or shall I cancel my patreon and subscribe on here?

I had a look, and I cant seem to do it, so yes, cancel patreon and come here if it feels right for you x

I'll do that! I follow other people on both platforms so I don't mind. I do prefer this one! Patreon can be a bit clunky and not load particularly well on my phone. X

Hello Brigit. I have deeply enjoyed everything you have shared. And I’m admitting that it was a bit challenging for me to complete the survey because I love all of it and could only select one. 😍 I know whatever you share, it will be a gift. Thank you. I do have a question for you. Where can I learn about upcoming gatherings that you may offer? I’d love to participate. 🙏🏼

Thank you so much, and thank you for doing what you could on the survey, I understand it may have been tricky.

I will post about gatherings here in the next week, so an email will come to you and let you know. They wont be until the later part of March as I have to feel into them first Xx
