​

I found Amy's plant rhythm apprenticeship to be very nurturing and grounding.  Her facilitation enabled us to connect deeply to plants in a way I hadn't experienced before.  I really feel much more in tune now

with our beautiful native plants and trees and this is what I was wanting from the course.  Amy has a depth of knowledge and connection to the energy of plants and the earth that invited us all to enter those quiet places as well.

I think back to the time at Piha with great affection and remember the wonderful sisterhood we shared in the bush beside the ocean, the amazing food we prepared, all the infusions we drank and potions we created, the

walks in the bush to meet and dialogue with the plants, trees, fungi, creepers, mosses, lichens and our friends the garden weeds, the songs we sang, the transformative sweat lodges we shared, and the caring we received.

It wasn't a typical learning environment with an emphasis on taking notes and doing heaps of assignments although we did have them and I wish I'd made more notes to help remember more of the incredible information we were offered.  It was very much an opportunity to drop into our bodies and spirits and to allow our essence to flow and breathe.

It was a very special apprenticeship and I would like to have more catchups. Thank you so much Amy for being you and creating this opportunity of being deeply immersed in nature and her gifts.

With much love from
