About Us
Our Story
Whispers of Nature was founded from a deep calling to support healing, first for ourselves, then our families, and eventually for the broader community. We have spent years learning, growing, and sharing the powerful traditions of herbal medicine, intuitive healing, and sacred space-holding.
Our journey is guided by:
- A profound belief in the power of intention and synchronicity
- A commitment to sharing plant medicine with love and respect
- A deep sense of community and interconnectedness
About Us
Our name, Whispers of Nature, reflects the subtle yet powerful guidance we receive from the natural world, whether it’s the wisdom of the plants, the quiet messages from trees, the presence of animal symbology, or the gentle inner voice we so often ignore. We believe that when we truly listen, we remember our own capacity to heal, thrive, and live in alignment with our highest potential.
We believe in mutual respect and honor for all living things. Joy, heart, and soul live within each of us. When we connect with our inner wisdom and truly listen to the plants, to the earth, and to our own hearts, we bring healing to ourselves, our families, our community, and our planet.
We grow and harvest our herbs right here on Lopez Island using organic, earth-friendly methods. We replenish our soil each season with homemade compost made from local grass clippings, goat manure, and seaweed. We ethically gather wild plants from the island forests when they thrive nearby. Every plant is treated with reverence from seed to salve.
Our Values
At Whispers of Nature, everything we do is guided by respect, care and community. We lead with authenticity, speaking and acting from an honest place. We infuse quality and kindness into every botanical remedy and gathering. We honor sacred living by following the earth’s rhythms and stewarding its resources. And we celebrate interconnectedness, believing that true healing blossoms when we come together in harmony with the natural world.
Our Labyrinth
Our seven-circuit labyrinth is a living meditation path open to friends, families and community groups. Walk in stillness, find clarity, or join one of our seasonal ceremonies beneath the sky.
