I was sobbing deeply and quietly as I sat in meditation with 100 other women under a tent roof, in the welcoming Australian bush. My heart was crying out, grieving for the beauty of long ago memories of an experience. It seemed hundreds of years ago, deep in a European forest. We women were in a ceremony with ancient trees, connecting our energies and receiving their plant wisdom. One ritual was running along a stretch of trees and lovingly touching the majestic trunks while singing to them. Since that time about 8 years ago I have felt strong urges to spend more time with big trees. Does that come from a long genetic line which has lived as family with the plant kingdom?
Recalling that meditation, I realise that my strong connection to plant music was inevitable. The day, four years ago, that I first heard about Music of the Plants, at the Elements of Happiness in Seaford, was the same day that I first heard plant music. The two Damanhur teachers connected my mint plant to their instrument and my heart opened deeply as I experienced the mint’s music. Months followed where hour after hour I felt my body was being fed and healed by the plants’ music – I had many plants that would play for hours.
We learned a lot that first day, and later went to a grove of trees and learned more about having a conversation with a tree. It’s a similar process to what I’d learned decades before when working with making and using flower essences. After meditation each person would allow themselves to be drawn to a plant, and to feel the beneficial effects it would cause as an essence – or indeed simply from being with it. It seemed amazing the transfer of knowledge or understanding.
It is my pleasure and honour to share what I have learned with others. There is so much to receive from trees and plants. Here is a brief list of what we cover in our workshops as experientially as possible, so that you know it for yourself:
