Listen to this 15 minute track for an introduction to my project and story
The Tree Pilgrimage, born from the ashes of the Thomas fire, in January 2018, is a project honoring embodied connection and awakening.
I followed a calling from deep within my heart to be with and photograph the amazing Trees around the world while I still had the chance.
Particular Trees started to send me images of themselves in my dreams or as I awoke from dream-time and I would then go on a treasure hunt to find them!
What started as just a photography focused project, quickly transformed into a wisdom-filled learning journey and communion with the Trees and the nature kingdom.
Beginning with the trees closest to my heart, the Redwoods.
For the past 5 years, I have been traveling around the world, listening to and sitting with the Trees that have called to me (in dream-time and intuition), recording their soundscapes and capturing images and videos of these special beings.
Most recently, I finished a deck of tree wisdom cards from 23 Trees of the United States and one in Mexico that shared their gifts with me over the first 2 years of the project. And to pair with the images, I have created meditations for connecting with the Trees from wherever you are in the world.

I finished my latest Tree Journey connecting and learning from the amazing trees of the magical land of New Zealand August of 2021.
Currently I am slowly unpacking all the of the wisdom and gifts the New Zealand Trees shared with me and writing a guided journal experience for learning how to Connect with Trees just like I do.
The next Tree has called and is in Bulgaria, so sometime in late 2024, early 2025 I will be going to find them as the next part of the journey.
