I would love to know more about you, I thought it might be nice if this was a space to introduce ourselves………
I’m Brigit, a writer, creator of this space, a plant obsessive and I teach about nature and plants. Im also an ecotherapist that uses therapy combined with nature to support peoples wellbeing.
I’m currently working on my second book! It will be out in 2024 and it is about restoration, wildness and recovery, this book is very personal to me as I myself have partnered with nature to restore a sense of wholeness within me and support my own recovery journey.
I’m sitting in the sun right now, listening to the crows and the gentle babbling brook of the robins song.
I love all things nature and the wild world, as well as poetry, wild swimming, story telling, good hearty food, reading, herbal infusions, coffee and the smell of books, dark earth and woodsmoke.
I would LOVE to learn more about you and perhaps what brought you here?
What are you interested in? Where are you at in your life? What are you exploring at the moment? Any hopes, dreams, plans, intentions? Anything really.
I would love to know more about you, if you feel ok to share.
Thank you all so much for your support by being here

Good morning, Brigit. I have so enjoyed your writing for a long time, so it's about time I subscribed to see more. For two years I facilitated a mindfulness/gardening program inside two CA state prisons, with 25 men in each group (https://insightgardenprogram.org/). In addition to growing vegetables, flowers, shrubs, and herbs, I was able to share about plant medicine, mushrooms, composting, ecosystems, and much more. Our program was located at the chapel and sweat lodge, so we grew sage and other plants for sweat lodge rituals. It was such a blessing to work with these men, and I often shared your writing and images with them in handouts they could savor after class. So, I want to thank you for that and for always providing so much thoughtfulness, beauty and inspiration in your offerings.
I'm Runa, and I live in NW Oregon. I have been in love with nature since I was small, relishing in forests, mountains, oceans, deserts, prairies alike, and have fallen in love with herbal medicine. Lately I have been exploring energetics and deepening my relationships with plant kindred and life all over the place, seen and unseen. I work with marginalized groups of wonderful people, I live the best I can according to the season, I speak and listen to the plants and trees, I'm a mom of an adult autistic, I love being witchy, I seem to always be making medicines, I am always learning about my ancestors, I love ritual, I enjoy writing and am helping my father write his memoir, I knit and crochet and quilt and stitch. In the morning I read while having coffee, and your posts are part of that morning ritual.
