At the Plant School of Becoming we work with plants as teachers to support the evolution of your soul work and the business that supports the vision you hold.
Our ApproachThe tensions you are experiencing in your soul business do not require more business formulas, they call for more connection.
Plants connect you to the cosmic whole, to a sense of belonging to the earth and the lineages you carry. This develops a rooted confidence, a deep knowing of what is yours to do and the support that is available, to weather the rocky road of the soul path.
Birthing your mission requires fluency in business but there is a lot of business and spiritual consumerism out there that can waste time and confuse.
At the Plant school of Becoming we focus on aligned action that moves the needle on, (rarely taking a linear path) intuited through deep listening and trust in your wealth of expertise and inner authority.
This is not ‘regenerative business’ as a theory, this is an experiential relationship with the living, breathing natural world to address the real tensions and lived experience of forging a business that supports the alive work you are being called to create in the season that you are in .
Have you spent money on coaches when really your business had slowed because something needed to die and evolve?
Have you stayed in the structuring too long when flowering was calling and courageous action was required?
Have you invested in messaging before you were fully connected to the roots of your why?
Are you keeping your prices low because you think people won’t pay, when really you are not rooted to the value of the work?
Are you expanding fast but lack connection to the depth and soul you crave?
This is why business courses and strategies fall down time and time again. They don’t meet you in the catalytic power of each season. Rooting: Structuring: Flowering: Receiving: Dying/Evolving.
Plants root you to your unique creative map that unfolds in real time.
They teach you how to move in and out of seasons.
They meet you in the dark where the most potent seeds germinate.
They nudge you into the arena when you have become frozen.
They teach you how to create innate structures so you can flower.
They tell you to jump when you can’t see what will catch you.
They show you when you are working from the wound, in an unsustainable way, connecting you to your Divine wealth and opening you to receive what your business needs to thrive and serve.
They deepen your work to the earth and it’s Creator, and its place in the web of creation.
They help you to trust the nudges that go against whats expected, whats productive, and lead you to a success that is meaningful for you.
When plants are your counsel your soul business comes alive. They become allies for your most impactful and generative work.
How does plant connection support the soul path?
-
Wealth is the gifts that you were born with and the life that made you the unique person you are to fulfil your purpose. This is your wealth but it comes so natural to you, you don’t always value it. You may be doing work that doesn’t fulfil you, working too hard or giving away your gifts despite financial and energetic debt. But this inner wealth is a life force that runs through you. It is bigger than you. Plants illuminate and activate the power of your inner wealth and the pathways to catalysing it to sustain your vision and life.
-
Understanding of your soul work is not always linear. You often have to step into the arena without all the answers and honour a calling that doesn’t always make sense. On this path you need intelligence that goes beyond the intellect. Plant connection develops perception, consciousness and greater intuition. Through this you learn to discern the heart of your work, and its role within the web of life and the pulse of a living intelligence that sustains you and is bigger than you. As you develop an inner authority and trust in the intelligence that is guiding you, you develop a knowing of which actions and business practices are most alive and impactful and necessary for the path.

Plants are alive. They exist in their truest essence. They are in constant worship to the Divine. When we take time to meet them and meet ourselves in their reflection something happens. We experience our aliveness, our power, our truth and what is in the way of that. We notice what feels dry, dead, and out of alignment. We encounter our soul and bring back knowledge for our soul path. They activate the heart and show us the magnitude of our potential. The more we open to this the more defined the work becomes. They are guides to our most alive work. If we choose to follow their invitations, they will take us all the way.

Birthing entrepreneurial change-making work is not for the faint of heart. It requires courage, visibility, hard work, getting behind yourself, asking for the sale. It is intimate and raw. You are asked to stand up and speak your truth in the face of misunderstanding, projection and judgement. You are taken across thresholds, ego deaths and identity dissolutions. Plants hold space for discomfort, sooth the tension, deflect projection, strengthen and protect you as you step into and thrive, bringing forth your truest most alive work.
-
Plants are rooted beings. They show you where you have lost connection to your roots and are performing something that’s not true to you. Your vision is a lifeforce that has been handed down to you through ancestral and spiritual lineages. Plants connect you to this life force and the support that is there for you. This develops a rooted confidence and sense of belonging that steadies you in the face of misunderstanding and judgement and also when things become unclear. We have an innate need and desire to belong. This can lead to toxic relationships that are keeping you from the truth of who you are and what you want to express. Plants connect you to the belonging to the web of life and the Divine, that can give you courage to stay in your truth and find those who support you there.
-
The creative process is not linear. Plants thrive through a cyclical system and remind you that you do too. Different creative seasons require different support systems. Your power comes from knowing and trusting each of these seasons without resisting what is true for you. The plants meet you in the catalytic power of each season. Rooting: Structuring: Flowering: Receiving: Dying/Evolving. They are your guides in each one but will also support you in knowing when to move in and out of them when you get stuck.
Over many years of observing I noticed that sustained and close attention to the plants, develops innate powers that support the creative and entrepreneurial journey towards your soul work.
About You
You have a healing impulse, you are traversing thresholds, birthing new work, developing your practice, and building a business that supports the aliveness of your truest work. You are an entrepreneur, healer, plant lover, change-making creative, or all of the above. Your work is not easily communicated in hooks and simplifications. There is nothing quite like what you do but people are changed when they encounter it.
You recognise the wealth of your gifts and you want to up-level your income in-line with the depths and experience of your work. Wealth is more than money for you but you recognise that money is often the piece of the puzzle that is either not addressed (as though the mention of money will tarnish the atmosphere) or it is taught in ways that make money the only marker of success.
You are working at the edge of your creative and financial flourishing. More is calling. You are ready for the next level of what your vision is beckoning and you know business formulas or top down coaching are not going to get you there. You want a space to grow your business that also grows your soul and deepens your connection to the living world. You already recognise the interconnectedness of everything and the sentience of plants but you want to go deeper. You are looking for a space that can hold all of you, a space to grow, experiment, and flourish, but also a place to process the path travelled, the failures, the visions that won’t leave you and the versions of you and your work that are yet to become.
You want greater confidence not from hubris but a sense of rootedness. You are as comfortable in the mystery as the clarity, but you are also yearning for liberation from the oppressive voices and beliefs that are not yours; you can no longer abandon your self. Something bigger is coming through you. That could mean deeper, truer, something that is more than you. You have a responsibility to this soul calling and you are looking for a community that supports the real tensions of creating an aligned soul business that feels life affirming and regenerative.
My Journey
As a medical herbalist I noticed social oppression around money and power. The unconscious archetypes of the starving artist and wounded healer were very alive.
As I started to work with plants on a more intuitive level they pointed me to how vital money is to our creative freedom and the power of our craft. The archetype of the wealthy herbalist started to emerge through my interactions with the plants. I realised that money was an edge for many herbalists and other creative women I was working with, and this was also limiting the power of their work.
As I continued to deepen this work I noticed that plants developed confidence in my clients to do their truest and most alive work, which helped them to see themselves as never before and charge for the value and power of their vision and not from fear.
Plants showed me what was my work to do and pointed me to the wealth that was already within me to carry it out. They showed me that wealth is not just money it is a light field of our potential that we have a responsibility to master.
Our soul work is a continuation of our ancestral and spiritual lineages. Stepping into our soul work requires crossing a series of evolutionary thresholds that transform us. This work is not for the feint of heart but the plants root us into our deepest support networks, spiritual, human and ‘more than human’ and lifts us out of limiting paradigms to the path we have been uniquely designed to walk and thrive on.
This is the work we do in Plant School of Becoming. Unlocking creative power, inner clarity, and authentic leadership through a unique blend of somatic coaching, plant connection, and energetic healing.
