A feminist approach to healing mind and psyche, holistic women's wisdom is rooted in the wise woman ways—drawing on nature's lens for navigating the challenges we face as women in the world today. 

If we each look back far enough into our own heritage(s), we all come from indigenous roots—from cultures worldwide in which our foremothers lived close to the earth. Capable and competent. Strong and resourceful.

Of course, they learned to use plants around them as food and medicine from a young age.

Yet we can take the wise woman ways even deeper. As we turn an earth-based, woman-centered lens inward—toward mind, heart and soul. 

Come, let's walk the wise woman path together...

There’s an awful lot of static in our world today.

We’re constantly inundated by outside voices—including the media and the internet—all telling us who we should be, what we should eat, what we should wear and how we should look. 

These voices are loud and strident, and often contradictory, yet they generally suggest that we are essentially lacking and need to be fixed.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, dissatisfied and confused under these circumstances.

As women, multiple demands of daily life can make it especially challenging for us to find our center.

We’re juggling all the pieces of our lives, wishing we had more energy, experiencing puzzling health concerns—our own and those of our families—and wanting to feel more grounded. 

We’re presented with ideals of female beauty that are unrealistic (and frankly, unhealthy).

We often feel that our needs for solitude, rest and restoration aren’t being met. But our schedules, our responsibilities and those voices create a disconnect between who we are and what we’re doing.

And there’s that endless stream of information, coming at us in bytes and sound bites. But information isn’t necessarily wisdom.

OK. Stop for a moment. Breathe.

There are other voices beneath the ruckus. I’d venture to guess that as a woman curious about the wise woman ways, you’ve already been hearing the wise women whisper to you.

You have an awareness of the interconnected-ness of your physical, emotional and spiritual health.

You’ve probably embraced some important lifestyle changes such as exercise, healthy eating habits and using environmentally responsible products. You may use herbal allies—tinctures, teas and supplements—to support your wellbeing.

Good. It’s time to go deeper. It’s time to remember . . .
