Plant Intelligence – Learn about the new science of “plant minds” and why it matters for anyone who cares for plants.

What I ask humbly to be able to do each day, and support my students and clients to do, is to find a path of tending to and dreaming with the Earth and Spirit realms as a way of life. The beauty and power and relief and soul fulfillment that comes from this way of living is indescribable: words fail me. But I know for sure that there are essential aspects of what it means to be human that can only be met by walking a sacred Earth-honoring path, and having community to share and co-create this path with us as we do.

There is profound healing of our various “dis-eases” available to us when we rekindle and nurture our relationships with the more-than-human world. We are born with the ability to fall deeply into these relationships with our most beautiful and illuminated selves. And, we can each find a wealth of ancestral wisdom and individual gifts to bring to the world that express the core of who we are and contribute to the evolution of planetary consciousness.

Join me on this joyful, soulful, wondrous, challenging, healing path as we weave communities within communities and nourish the planetary web of light for the healing of the world.

Testimonials

“I encountered Liz’s loving heart, luminous soul, wide spans of knowledge, deep wells of wisdom, and devotion to the natural world after giving up hope that I would have on-going contact with someone with those qualities. Like sparkling constellations in a cloudless night sky, those attributes shine through her teachings, and fostered compassion, commitment, and connection in me and my fellow students.”

Carole Wallencheck

Ritualist, Poet, Teacher

“Elizabeth held space for us in a way that was safe, nurturing, encouraging and empowering. I felt seen, heard and supported while being offered ways to deepen my connection with nature. Her guidance always comes from a place of authenticity with plenty of space for new ideas and wonderings. She is a true teacher of the earth, embracing her wildness with conviction as she continues her determined path to bring others back to their truest nature.”


Rebecca Wohlever

Musician, Yoga Instructor, Ecotherapy Guide

“Liz is a deep well of both learned knowledge and experiential wisdom in many varied areas of what is most needed to support Life at this time: however, what truly makes her shine and excel as a teacher from this foundation is that she has learned how to LISTEN with her entire self and thus understands what is needed moment to moment to invite the innate beauty and knowing of one’s spirit forward in active engagement with whatever is at hand. And all of this occurs within the space of humility and compassion that can only be engendered from attentively and intelligently walking one’s talk.”

Damaris Chrystal

Shamanic Practitioner, Writer, Speaker

"The Shamanic Ecotherapy Immersion was an incredibly freeing experience. Being in a safe space with open minds and hearts made it possible for me to open up and be who I really am. I felt like I was given permission to soar. I appreciate learning how to connect to my guides, set intention, create a ritual and journey to other realms for answers, support and healing."

Leah Willis

Yoga Instructor, Unschooler, Permaculture Designer, Ultra Runner

“Discovering magic happens through fostering gateways to mysterious encounters and feelings that intertwine with and exist beyond causal-linear reality. We are not taught to relate to and hold the deep magic and mystery that are hallmarks of fully actualized existence. Magical encounters and leaps of creativity into numinous knowing do not fit into accepted reductionist and instrumental concepts of what is “real” in the world. Our ancestors knew the ways of conscious dreaming: bringing forth each new day in communion with the ancestors and spirits of the Earth; speaking of visions and sightings across the veil; making dreaming the world into being a central and honored place in the circle of community.”

From Earth Spirit Dreaming, by Elizabeth E. Meacham, p. 205

“Elizabeth Elsberry Meacham, Ph.D. is a fully embodied teacher who invites all those who come to learn with her into the participatory wholeness she lives. Her wholeness is shamanic in that she has intuitive access to layers of transpersonal energies and sources of information hard-won through being driven beyond habitual boundaries by life’s trauma and revelations.”
