About

Feet in the Grass, wine glass in hand, I’m watering, weeding, digging, and learning how to connect with the planet … 

Hi, I’m Kirsti, a long-time gardener of herbs, flowers, vegetables, and fruit, a student of world religions and mystical traditions, a working mom, herbalist, yoga practitioner, writer, and lover of all things Gaian. It’d be fair to say my relationship to the planet guides my spiritual practice.

This blog walks a path toward living closer to the Earth, making a personal connection to source, spirit, and planetary energy. Gardening and uses of of herbs, vegetables, flowers and fruit, seasonal tides and their energies, connecting to the moon and the weather, love, flow, ritual, meditation, mindfulness, beauty, inspiration, sustainability, healing, nature, and other things goddess-loving … for the fun, interest, inspiration, and healing of it.

Over recent years I’ve been guided deeper into herbalism and the medicinal uses of herbs for wellness and healing. You will find writings on that subject here.

Growing food and culinary and medicinal herbs, berries, and flowers confers a relationship with weather and dirt that’s deeply healing and calming. Connecting with the environment as spiritual practice has given me a leg to stand on in keeping sane and well in our crazy, fast, and challenging world. My journey has included a christian upbringing, catholic college, years in two different covens, a Master of Religion that included a study of eastern philosophy and ancient christianity, and finally the development of a nature-based spiritual practice that blends eastern philosophy and meditation with witchcraft, yoga, and a splash of positivity. It’s a bit of a stew, or maybe a cocktail, but it works for me. Connecting to the planet will work for you, too.

In gratitude,

Kirsti
