Grounding Techniques from the Forest: A ...

MERYL ARNETT
About this episode

“You are the sister to the wolf and friend to the hawk. You know in your heart the language of the plants and the songs of the wind. You have an innate connection to the wild edges. You know the beauty of the bee in flight, and hear the call of freedom on the horizon. And yet, as you go through your day today, it may be easy to miss the drum call of the Earth.”  

– Wild Woman


The Green Witch is one who sources her sense of power and nourishment from the Earth itself. She is one who might feel deeply connected to plants and animals and finds balance with time outside. 


The Green Witch likely spends more time than most contemplating the understanding that we are nature. 


In our exploration of the earth and forest archetype, we look at reciprocal relationships with the earth as a source of power and grounding. 


Join me for today’s talk and Green Witch-inspired meditation.
