Trees are the earth's giants in size and in heart. We connect with trees all the time, out of our window or perhaps on our way home. If we recognize and nurture a relationship with a tree, we understand how to become more balanced and loving in ourselves and other relationships. 

Notes

  • A shamanic journey can serve as an initiation for creating deeper relationships with trees.
  • Trees can provide stability, structure and solace for children. 
  • Trees create community. They communicate with each other through mycorrhizae (fungal networks). They know when you're near and they know if a disease is spreading. They take care of each other, and sometimes they take care of you.
  • Plantspeak Oracle cards act as portals to nature. Each tree face captures the essence of the tree's offering and its spirit of place.
  • Shamanic journeying connects us with trees. The roots ground us, where the trunk meets the earth is the heart, and the branches connect us to the heavens, the cosmos. Trees are balanced.
  • Do trees have telepathy with us? Does one grove of olive trees in Spain recognize that we may have connected or journeyed with another olive grove in Italy? Do they "sniff "us like cats do to our luggage when we come back from a trip?
  • Trees teach us that we're beautiful no matter how misshapen we may feel.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
