Join me for a deep dive into this profound body of work by renowned master herbalist, earth poet, bardic naturalist, deep ecologist and prolific award-winning author of 25 books, the late Stephen Harrod Buhner. Stephen was a radical systems thinker, polymath and synthesiser whose work continues to have a deep and lasting impact on Plant People and Deep Ecologists all over the world.

I have read Plant Intelligence dozens of times (as well as most of his other books) and consider Stephen to be one of my primary teachers on the topics of Plant Medicine, Animist Living Earth Perception, Gaian Systems and Earth Sentience, Deep Ecology, and Eco-Soul Poetics. 

According to Stephen, ‘Plant Intelligence and the Imaginal Realm’ offers a “sophisticated theoretical foundation for contemplative animism.” It provides an accessible philosophical framework combined with simple yet profound exercises to help us open our perception towards a living, breathing and dreaming earth. This will be my 7th time guiding this deep dive into his work.

“The world is alive, intelligent, aware, communicative, and filled with soul…we are not alone…we are part of something much larger than ourselves…we are companioned by millions upon millions of related life-forms; and that the dead, mechanical world we have been taught about in school does not exist…. and never has.”
~Stephen Harrod Buhner

Testimonials:

We all have those events in our lives that mark a before and an after.

This course was that for me.

Reading Buhner for the first time felt like a remembering rather than a learning, it was relearning. 
Skye is a magnificent facilitator, weaving in poetry, art and all the different modalities she has worked with throughout her journey. She brings in so much depth and experience, all in service of the work, always allowing space for the group to move organically to where the material takes it. She really lives and breathes this work, it’s been inspiring to be learning from her and alongside her. I would do this course again and again and again. And so should you.” 
~ Debi Azubel
~•~
“THIS IS THE BEST COURSE THAT I HAVE EVER COMPLETED IN MY LIFE (and I have completed MANY courses). It gave me the theoretical understanding of who I am and my relationship to the earth as well as the practical experience of how to connect to the more-than-human world. Through frequent application of the exercises offered in this course, I experienced a deep sense of BELONGING to the land – something that I have been seeking and longing for all of my life. Therefore, if you desire a sense of belonging like I did and want to learn how to communicate with the more-than-human world, I strongly recommend this course. Additionally, Skye is a highly intelligent, passionate and humble guide – I couldn’t choose a better teacher for this journey.” 
~ Regina Kousal

~•~

“The name ‘study group’ doesn’t do what Skye has put together justice! – It has been sooo much more than that for me. It’s been a great opening of awareness & heart. A big sense of belonging to something which I have always felt but didn’t have the understanding for that I wasn’t alone or the vocabulary to describe my experiences. I can’t thank her enough for seeing the importance in putting this work together, giving us so much material to refer back to, exercises to keep the work alive & a platform to discuss everything that’s moving within us.”~ Lou Taylor

~•~

“This work has been a light of deep truth shining through the muddle that is our mixed-up world! Creating lasting growth and connections inside and out! Calling in like-hearted and brilliant-minded humans to explore and practice with, the community Skye is building around this epic body of work is exceptional!

This “take at your own pace” study group was so beautiful to digest, whether I had an hour just to watch her pre-recorded summaries or days spare to dedicate to reading the chapters and going through the extra resources. Skye invited us into the world of Stephen Harrod Buhner in her engaging videos filtered through her own inspiring mind, in candid and connected ways that bring the subjects covered literally into your life! 

Combined with the invitation to practice developing skills of perception as well as the call to reflect on them.I cannot imagine a better translator and space holder for this work and all the shifting and opening that it brings.”~ Tanya Hawkes

~•~

“If you’ve ever wanted to explore a little further beyond the doors of perception and a little deeper into the dreaming of the earth, I can’t recommend highly enough the journey with Skye through the study group surrounding plant intelligence and the imaginal realm, the work of the late Stephen Harrod Buhner. 

I must warn you though, if you choose to enter this portal, you will not come out the same on the other side. And this may stir you in ways like never before and may challenge your very ways of perceiving. You even may, if you’re so lucky, find yourself on the wild edge of a new horizon. One made of wonder and felt rather than seen, fresh perspectives. You might even become barbarian in the process!
If you’re considering this journey and would like to deepen your deep-earth perception by following the tingling of a golden thread inviting you in, I say follow that impulse.
Thank you for your beautiful work Skye and for honouring Stephen in such a way.”
~ Michael from Today Dreamer Podcast

With gratitude, I offer a heartfelt recommendation for Skye’s Plant Intelligence and the Imaginal Realm study group. Stephen Harrod Buhner is a mystic, a man of transcendent perception, and his book is an initiation into the deepest wisdom of Life–the exact Medicine of Reconnection we humans need for this moment on Earth. The journey through each revelatory segment of his book is amplified by Skye’s delicious treasure trove of support materials. Sharing and listening to others’ perceptions and insights in the Zoom calls and WhatsApp groups allowed a community of heart-seeing to blossom. I am awed by Skye’s expert facilitation: her cognizance of the material, listening kindness, insightfulness, and communication skills are dazzling. This class cleared the dust from my eyes, reawakened a sense of connection with the Sacred Web of Life, and trust in her power to Live. This offering is a very deep well of beauty and truth. ~ Sara Carson

I took Skye’s Plant Intelligence and the Imaginal Realm course and from the beginning it filled me with new wonder and fresh excitement for the world around me. Questions that I had pondered over my life began to fall into place. The discipline of deep practice enhanced an already alive world and created a profound sense of belonging to the world, belonging for all beings. I feel a sense of relief and peace after just dipping my toe into this work and I am truly excited to walk further through the door that has been left ajar for me now. This work is life changing. If you are seeking more richness and connectedness in your life, this is the wok. And Skye weaves a web of safety and wisdom in which to explore these teachings. Thank you Skye I am so grateful to have been part of this group. ~ Caitlin Pheasant

Skye has created an engaging framework for experiential learning and communities of practice, which honours the trailblazing work of Stephen Harrow Buhner, and weaves in a rich tapestry of resources.
She holds space with deeply embodied integrity, and facilitates in a way that enhances inclusion and co-creativity, and traverses the sacred and mundane.

If you are drawn to deepen your connection with nature and experience yourself wildly woven in the web of animacy, this course is for you. It’s more of a journey than a study group. Opening to Gaian perception is a way of life – sacred activism that is so very needed in these times.
~ Chloe Farmer

~~~
Once you open your heart to this work, you become forever woven with the living worlds around us and within yourself. Skye creates incredibly nourishing spaces to explore Buhner’s work in relatable ways. Plant Intelligence and the Imaginal Realm is a masterpiece of research and inspiring stories. It offers the door into mystery – renewing and transforming animist perceptions and deepening feelings of belonging. Studying under Skye’s wing is a lifetime opportunity. Through plant connection and dreaming practices she guides you into the deeper inner landscapes of our Earth, softly touching the aliveness of everything around us. You manually practice how to open sensory gates that are typically presumed to only be accessible through entheogenic and psychedelic experiences. This work has become balm to my tender heart by dissolving feelings of separation. It has supported my repair process towards deep belonging and has offered a rooted understanding of how to engage with my feeling sense daily. I am deeply grateful for such a transformative experience. 
~With Gratitude,
Ruth Shaw

What a gift participating in ‘Plant Intelligence and The Imaginal Realm’. The delivery of this experience by Skye was authentic and wondrous; her generous wisdom was shared in such a heartfelt way. This 10-week offering was a segue into a deepening of my already developed intuitive nature practices. The practice invitations left me so full of awe and assisted me in moving into fathomless wild realms with the other-than-human world.  I have real clarity from this journey in the role and guidance that plants play in my creative life.  I am left feeling that this is the pathway that I have been waiting for, tying in my love for the Earth, creativity, community, connection and animism all in one bewitching container.  A shapeshifting experience! – Jacqueline Swan

~~~

I knew about Skye’s impressive background in plant connection, grief work and deep ecology when I signed up for her Plant Intelligence course. What I didn’t expect was the amount of optional extra material she would offer – the depth and breadth of her knowledge, and her generosity in sharing it, are incredible. The strength of the container she creates is nothing short of mind-blowing. Skye is the real deal and we are very lucky to have her. – Katy Shorthouse

~~~

Skye holds a space in this course that is quietly extraordinary. From the very beginning, I felt its integrity—not just in the tone or language, but in the underlying structure. This wasn’t a transfer of information. It was a living field of practice: relational, coherent and most of all,  transformative.

The depth and breadth of what was offered revealed an uncommon level of devotion. A vast body of materials—recordings, reflections, weekly practices, and beautifully distilled summaries—was assembled with care and clarity. But what made it powerful was not just the quality or the quantity—it was the coherence. Everything pointed back to a central orientation: relationship over extraction, depth over speed, presence over display. The plants were not approached as subjects or symbols, but as presences—each with its own rhythm, awareness, and way of meeting. What the course offered were not just methods of knowing them, but practices for entering into relation—ways of listening, reaching, and being met. These weren’t tools of interpretation; they were invitations to mutual recognition.

The community that emerged was not incidental. It formed in response to the steadiness and care embedded in the course space. There was coherence without uniformity, intimacy without demand. The field invited connection that was real—reciprocal, grounded, and enduring. These relationships weren’t limited to the timeline of the course. They’re still unfolding —both human and more-than.  What became clear over time was how deliberately the space had been tended. Skye’s touch was never loud, but always present—in the pacing, in the tone, in the way the course held both structure and spaciousness. Her trust in the living world was built into the architecture itself.

Whether you’re new to this path or long immersed in it, the course meets you where you are—not by adjusting itself, but by remaining in right-relation to what’s real. It doesn’t flatten, or dramatize. It invites. I’m grateful to have participated, and I hope to again. What unfolded here continues to move in me—quietly, steadily, and in ways that deepen over time. It’s the kind of gift that leaves no clean ending—only an ongoing unfurling, still revealing itself long after the course has ended. – Veronika Eckstein

Honoring Our Pain for the World Webinar
with John Seed and Skye Mandozay

Join John Seed and Skye Cielita Flor as they explore the theme of “Honouring Our Pain for the World”, a key step in the Experiential Deep Ecology and Work That Reconnects Spiral Journey. Through poetry, song, story and experiential process inspired by Joanna Macy’s “Despair and Empowerment” work and Francis Weller’s “Five Gates of Grief”, we will acknowledge and validate difficult emotions such as grief, anger, fear and despair as evidence of our mutual belonging in a relational universe, and hence our power to take action on behalf of all life. Through this exploration, we will seek to establish the value of feeling as a form of deep intelligence and communication from the wider Earth system in which we are all inextricably embedded. 
“Pain for the world is not only natural, it is a necessary component of our healing. As in all organisms, pain has a purpose: it is a warning signal, designed to trigger remedial action. It is not to be banished by injections of optimism or sermons on “positive thinking.” It is to be named and validated as a healthy, normal human response to the situation we find ourselves in. Faced and experienced, its power can be used. As the frozen defences of the psyche thaw, new energies and intelligence are released.“
– Joanna Macy
“Our broken hearts have the potential to open us to a wider sense of identity, one capable of seeing through the partitions that have segregated self from world. Through grief, we are initiated into a more inclusive conversation between our singular lives and the soul of the world. We are coming to understand that there is no isolated self stranded in the cosmos; we are participants in an entwined and entangled net of connections with a continuous exchange of light, air, gravity, thought, color, and sound, all coalescing in the elegant dance that is our shared life. It is the broken heart that can let slip into its core the shimmer of a salmon gliding just under the surface of the water, the startling arc of the swift, the wonder of Mozart, and the sheer beauty of sunrise.”
– Francis Weller

THE WORK THAT RECONNECTS 4 DAY IMMERSION APRIL 1-4TH 2022

Life has thrown me so many curveballs in the last month that I still haven’t really had the chance to reflect and share on the absolutely stunning 4day “Work That Reconnects” Immersion we ran back in April…

This one was quite different from all our previous ones in that most of the folks who decided to join us were already familiar with this work or had explored similar territory before – so we unintentionally gathered a bit of an advanced group which allowed us to reach depths that we just never have before.

It all began with the most gorgeous process of “Acknowledging and Connecting to the Animate Earth Body” through local wild-harvested clay play and spontaneous full-bodied land greeting led by my beloved friends Elisabeth Bromley and Nicole Cociş 💚

After this gentle process of “loosening the hold of the human” and acknowledging the painful and beautiful history of the land… We moved into some resourcing and connection through “Gratitude, Noticing and Recognition” processes. This is the simple yet potent practice of waking up to your life and the infinite, often awe-inspiring causes and conditions that make the next breath possible.

The next morning, after starting our day with gentle embodiment practices led by Samantha Natalie and Nick Lawson

We entered the ripe and necessary territory of “Honouring our Pain”.

Beginning with an exploration of the “dark emotions” and how they are typically approached in western culture – we then explored the alternative maps offered by both Joanna Macy and Francis Weller, especially touching on the very useful language around “The Gates of Grief” and our capacity to feel the pain of our Larger Earth Body as a pathway back into connection with all of life. This prepared the ground for our 4 hour “Grief and Truth Speaking” ritual.

This ritual was magnificent! Ferocious and soul-wrenching at times.

I am so grateful to John Seed for introducing us to the power of grief ritual… And grateful to all the folks who keep agreeing to take part, as it really takes the extended nervous system of the village to meet the intensity of these times and all that the human and other-than-human world is experiencing in this deeply uncertain moment in time.

This powerful ritual was followed by a gentle art therapy and somatic integration session led by Tanyay Hawkes and Phoebe Dixon and then a spontaneous fireside musical jam and poetry session in the evening.

On day three, after another beautiful embodiment session with Sam and Nick…

We prepared for the next step on the Spiral… The step of expanding beyond our narrow human identities and stepping into our Entangled, Inter-dependent Selves… Here we explore new (and very old) maps and langauge around themes of Interbeing, Living Systems Theory, Gaia Theory, Deep Ecology, Animism etc and then enter into processes that help to further shed the seperation and come into the slow recognition of the Earth as our wider body.

This process began with a shape-shifting ritual called “The Council of All Beings”…

We were invited to drop our human facade and shapeshift into other-than-human counterparts who were longing to be heard.

Some of the other-than-humans that joined that particular Council were Lion, Amanita Mushroom, Water, Rotting log, Robin, The Colour Green, Sheep, The Seven Sisters, Tree Fern, Parrot… And more!

It was heartbreaking, hilarious and deeply moving.

After some rest we then prepared to enter into an Eco-Breath ritual. A process of using a particular breathing pattern and evocative music to help us to further release the human and access our transpersonal selves.

Such a potent evening of shedding and becoming.

On the final morning, under the trees and under the watchful gaze of Robins, we travelled through a hand portal and into recognition of ourselves as a process unfolding over unimaginable lengths of time.

And then finally, Elisabeth and Nicole lead us through a ritual of “Reciprocity and Thanks Giving” to the waters and ancestors of the land before a heartfelt closing circle.

My faith in this map only keeps growing with time… And I just have so much gratitude to John Seed and Joanna Macy for so elegantly braiding the various threads that comprise it… And to the many people who have contributed to it’s current form over decades. Also grateful to the gorgeous regenerated land at Camp Eureka that has held us through each one of these explorations over the years and to the folks dedicated to returning it to health.

And gratitude for the practice community that is steadily growing around this work.

May the seeds sown by this precious work continue to flourish in ways seen and unseen.

May it help us to stay awake to what is unfolding on this precious planet we call home.

May it support us in coming to the fullness of who we are, to steady us in these times of great uncertainty and give us a pathway forward to act on behalf of the flourishing our larger body. May it help us to choose the loving way, the kind way in times of struggle.

May it help us enter into the Long Dark, not with hope that things will turn out the way we want them too, but with the deep conviction that this is our world and showing up fully is what we are here for… No matter what the outcome is 🖤🖤

** 50% of all the proceeds for this event went to supporting the Rainforest Action Group (MRAG) and the Rainforest Information Centre (RIC) on their efforts to protect the Old Growth Forests of Ecuador and the precious headwaters of the Amazon River from mining concessions owned primarily by Australian companies.

We are so grateful to the efforts of this small team who work their butts off on behalf of all of us. Liz Downes and Rebekah Hayden💚 I’ll attach their website in the comments for anyone curious about their work or who would like to support their efforts.

GUEST TEACHING ON THIS A WILD LOVE FOR THE WORLDSTUDY GROUP WITH JOHN SEED AND JOANNA MACY

John Seed and I will be joining as guests in this upcoming study group of Joanna Macy’s new book “A Wild Love for The World”. Dates are Jan 23- March 20th 2022.

“Please join us for this eight-week book group series revolving around Macy’s recent publication, A Wild Love for the World, which documents 37 global citizens who have been inspired by Macy’s work to create change in their home communities. We will couple these readings with “Work that Reconnects” practices, as well as principles from Adrienne Maree Brown’s “Emergent Strategy,” to help you discover and energize your unique and essential purpose in the Great Turning.

We may not know what will happen, but as Macy teachers, that uncertainty can drop us into our truest intention, independent of outcome. To help guide us on this journey of discovery, we will bring in special guests, including Joanna Macy and deep ecology-activist John Seed, to inspire us with how they have awakened and lived out their contributions to The Great Turning.”

Deep Ecology 3day Immersion at Camp Eureka May 21-23rd 2021

25 of us came together for 3days to travel through ‘The Spiral’ of ‘The Work That Reconnects’. We began with some truth speaking around ‘Business As Usual’ and ‘The Great Unravelling’ and the many ways we see it happening around us and through us. We then resourced, centred and softened ourselves with the gift of praise and gratitude before entering into a powerful ritual for allowing the rarely acknowledged and often suppressed ‘Pain/ Despair/ Rage/ Emptiness and Grief for the World’ to be felt, expressed and lovingly witnessed with compassion.

From there we travelled into the many facets of our ‘Interconnected Ecological Selves’ through rituals and processes that begin to widen the identity to encompass the whole of life… That help us to soften the armor that is experienced as the “the separate human self”… the all important and exalted “individual”… And enter back into the wider conversation. One of these processes is the before- mentioned, ‘Council of All Beings’… A process where we allow ourselves to be chosen by an other-than-human and then masked, we invite them to speak through us. In this particular Council, we were joined by everyone from the Hydrological Cycle and The Green Man, to rivers, trees, birds, insects, eels, soil, rotting stumps, menstrual blood and even plastic! With masks donned, we entered into a lively discussion on the impacts of human driven ‘Industrial Growth Society’ on our homes and our lives, and how we might help the humans return to a felt sense of belonging and reciprocity with the wider family of life.

Finally, in preparation for ‘Going Forth’, we entered into a process where we shared what we feel is ours to do in this ‘The Great Turning’ and allowed ourselves to be supported in our vision by both the ancestors and future ones. As always, I was moved to tears by the power and beauty of this work so many times throughout the weekend! It really is one of my favorite ways to spend my precious life energy. I feel so grateful to this body of work and to John Seed for introducing it to Helm and I and to Joanna Macy for co-creating it with John and many others… and to the amazing community of people that have come into my life through it. We also managed to raise over $2000 in support of the Melbourne Rainforest Action Group, a small but fierce group of activists who work tirelessly and with very little recognition or support – to put a stop to Australian owned mining companies that are tearing up highly biodiverse indigenous territory in the Ecuadorian cloud forests and the headwaters of the Amazon. They are also currently working to support a very important court case that is being fought on the basis of ‘The Rights of Nature’ and if it is won, it will set an important precedent for the protection of forests worldwide!

March 26-29th 2021, at Camp Eureka in Yarra Junction, Melbourne.

Feeling grateful for a very potent 4day immersion into The Work That Reconnects/ Deep Ecology with this incredible group of deeply feeling humans and the wider ecology on Woiwurrung Country that held us throughout.
During the process, we turned our hearts and minds towards the painful and inseparable truths of social, environmental and biosphere unraveling… And then beneath these intersectional crises, toward the story of separation that underpins them all.
We then we wove a path through grief and gratitude, toward a new and old way of seeing. A way that will potentially seed a different kind of human as we continue to compost and become something else as the result of this rough initiation.
The human as we know it is being undone, and the outcome of that process is uncertain…But I do know that slowing down enough to feel and grieve our lostness and the immense harm we have caused and are causing in this great forgetting is essential.
As is the importance of finding doorways back into remembrance of ourselves as more-than-human, as interconnected ecologies… AS GAIA. To gawk in absolute wonder and awe at the immensity and mystery of what we truly are.
And in this way, we begin to relinquish our grasping onto what we think needs to happen and instead, following a deeper non-linear intelligence that carries forth our life-enhancing gifts in service of the whole.
I love this map, and I feel deeply grateful to Joanna Macy, John Seed and the myriad others who have contributed to its emergent form. And grateful to our beautiful web of supporters and participants who contributed their medicine to the brew we made as an organism, drinking deeply of each other, in our longing to wake up from this trance of unbelonging.
———-All profits from this event have gone to support The Melbourne Rainforest Action Group (MRAG) in their efforts to prevent open pit mining in precious and highly biodiverse old growth forest in Ecuador by predominantly Australian owned mining companies.

Work That Reconnects Immersions

Active Hope Study Groups

Active Hope is about finding, and offering, our best response to the crisis of sustainability and regeneration unfolding in our world. It offers tools that help us face the mess we’re in, as well as find and play our role in the collective transition, or Great Turning, to a life-sustaining society.

At the heart of this process is the idea that Active Hope is something we do rather than have. It involves being clear what we hope for and then playing our role in the process of bringing that about. The journey of finding, and offering, our unique contribution to the Great Turning helps us to discover new strengths, open to a wider network of allies and experience a deepening of our aliveness. When our responses are guided by the intention to act for the healing of our world, the mess we’re in not only becomes easier to face, our lives also become more meaningful and satisfying.

The book guides the reader through a transformational process informed by mythic journeys, modern psychology, spirituality and holistic science. This process equips us with tools to face the mess we’re in and play our role in the collective transition, or Great Turning, towards a life-sustaining society. Facebook event here

Rainforest Conservation Fundraiser’s


A lunar journey through transformational myth, ancestral healing, and plant medicine. Honouring the role of descent in times of radical change.

This journey involves 5 online workshops over the course of a month starting on the Scorpio full moon of May 7th. 

Featuring guest teachers and healers we will create a safe space to share wisdom, energetic activations, and home practices. This content will centre around the healing process of “initiation by descent”, (to read more about this term, scroll down). 

Our presenters are herbalists, astrologers, artists, storytellers, shamanic healers, activists, and earth keepers. 

Our wish is to empower you through times of upheaval and change by connecting deeply with the transformative medicine that exists within the natural cycles of birth, death, and renewal. To remember how to work with the deep, nourishment found when we travel to these deep, dark, feminine realms. 

It is our hope that a world where more people live consciously with these cycles and living archetypes can be a world that is more connected, compassionate, and creative.

Women’s Rose Medicine Retreats

A 10 day residential deep dive into the medicine, alchemy and potency of the Rose lineage. Rose ceremonies, rose flower essence making, flower baths, vapor baths, guidance and exercises in plant spirit relating, sharing circles, breathwork, movement practices, and nature excursions.

Flower Spirit Medicine Workshops

This was an experiential workshop where we went through the process of making our own flower essences and then discovered various ways of entering into a deeper relationship with those flowers in order to receive their gifts and teachings.

We will practised making various plant baths for cleansing and protection, and also for attracting good luck and abundance.
While learning to communicate and come into kinship with the plants is a long journey that requires dedication and genuine heartfelt intention, this workshop is intended to subtly entice you into their realms and open your heart to their magic. See Facebook event here
