Fiddlehead Forest

05/26/2026

I stepped into the woods for an herbalism conference rooted in ancient practices, remembrance, and reconnection. Through cacao ceremonies, breathwork activations, plant walks, herbal teachings, laughter, tears, and the wild medicine of nature herself, we were invited to slow down enough to actually hear our own voices again.

We honored our ancestors, the old ways, and the deep roots of herbalism — remembering that healing was never meant to be separated from the earth, community, intuition, or spirit.

There was softness.
There was roaring.
There was the divine feminine rising through mossy trails, tired bones, open hearts, and barefoot moments beneath the trees.

And somewhere between the p***y toes blooming at our feet and the rhythm of breath in our lungs, I remembered once again,
we are not separate from nature… we are nature. 🌿

Forever grateful for the teachers, friends new and old, the plants, the stories, and the reminder that our roots still remember the way home.

Today, we lifted something sacred into the sky…
a 55-foot osprey nest, rooted in intention, rising in honor of Earth Day.

A place for wings to return.
A place for life to begin again.

As the trees slowly wake and the land softens into spring,
we celebrate not just the beauty of Mother Earth—
but our responsibility to care for her, protect her, and create space for all who call her home.

From the medicines beneath our feet,
to the feathered guardians above,
we are all part of this living, breathing story.

May this nest stand as a promise—
to give back, to restore, and to live in reciprocity with the wild.

With gratitude, always 🌿

This evening the forest wrapped me up like an old friend who knows exactly when you need quiet 🌿

After a long day, I wandered… and Mother Earth showed off a little. Jelly ear mushrooms tucked into their shadowy corners, soft and otherworldly. May apples stretching their green umbrellas toward the light. Bloodroot blooming like tiny, fleeting stars on the forest floor… here for a moment, gone before you know it.

There’s something sacred about remembering how to breathe out there. Not the rushed kind… but the deep, soul-level inhale that reminds you you’re part of all this too.

Nature doesn’t hurry. She doesn’t force. She simply becomes—and invites us to do the same.

Grateful for these quiet moments, these wild medicines, these beautiful reminders that even after the longest days… there is always softness waiting for us under the trees.

With love from the forest floor,
Fiddlehead Forest 🌱✨

We don’t just lean on the Earth for her healing…
we also lean on her for her making.

Spent the weekend weaving pine needles and broom corn into this basket — using nothing but sinew, a needle, and my own two hands. No machines. No shortcuts. Just time, intention, and plant fibers gathered with respect.

Herbs become medicine.
Roots become nourishment.
Needles become vessels.

This is the kind of work that slows your breath and reminds you that everything we need has already been given. 🌾

Handmade. Earth-born. Reciprocity always.

🌿✨ Spring Equinox Blessings at Fiddlehead Forest ✨🌿

As the wheel turns and light meets dark in perfect balance, I am deeply honored to open this year’s Spring Equinox celebration with authentic blessings to welcome the returning light.

The Equinox reminds us that we, too, are invited into balance — between rest and growth, shadow and bloom, seed and blossom.

I’ll be offering words rooted in earth-honoring tradition, gratitude for the unseen allies, and blessings for renewal, vitality, and new beginnings. 🌱

Spring is not just a season — it is a remembering.
A soft but powerful return to life.

I would love to see familiar faces and welcome new ones as we gather in community to celebrate this sacred turning.

With gratitude for Mother Earth and all her green magic,
Rachael
