Talking Trees
Stories That Remind You You’re Never Alone
Guidance and Love From the Natural World
Talking Trees is a living library of stories shared by our nature allies — trees, mountains, waters, bees, flowers, and more. These stories aren’t just teachings; they’re expressions of the deep love and connection that flows through the natural world. Each one offers a glimpse of how profoundly we are held, appreciated, and guided, even in our flaws and struggles. Watch the stories below and let the living world remind you: you are never alone, and you are always loved.
In this episode, The Party by the Lake, you’re invited to sit beside the water, notice the butterflies and wildflowers, and hear the quiet counsel of the plantain flower. What begins as a moment of solitude becomes a celebration—a reminder that sometimes joy doesn’t need a reason. It’s enough to be alive today, breathing with the Earth.
A story of trees, a wasp, and the beauty in letting go. In this episode, On Drought, Turning, and the End of a Season, I share a story about drought, turning leaves, and the end of a season — and the surprising wisdom that came from listening to the trees and even a wandering wasp. If you’ve ever felt the ache of change, the grief of endings, or the tenderness of letting go, this story is for you.
Before I could recall that I’d feared you, I loved you. In that one eternal moment of “isness” I recognized you as brother.
A Story for You
Just as the forest speaks through these stories, it can speak directly to you. With a Personal Talking Tree Reading, I listen for the nature ally who wishes to step forward on your behalf — tree, flower, mountain, stream, or creature — and channel the story they want to tell you.
Each reading is a true collaboration with the natural world. I spend about three hours in the process: going out into nature, attuning to your energy, listening and interacting with the ally who steps forward, and receiving their message as if on a shamanic journey. Then I bring that wisdom home, compose it into a story just for you, and record it as a 10–15 minute video.
These readings often bring comfort, clarity, and a reminder of your place in the greater web of life. Each one is as unique as the ally who speaks — and created with deep care, time, and presence.
