Beth is a master healer in the wise woman tradition. She began studying plants in 1992 as she opened to her spiritual calling as a witch and medicine maker. Since then she has trained with herbalists, shamans, somatic therapists, dancers, visionaries, and artists in order to meet her own soul’s relentless drive for becoming. In 2009 Beth completed her training with the Foundation for Shamanic Studies and in 2015 finished her tantric yoga teacher and Ayurvedic yoga specialist training with the Himalayan Institute.
Beth is a High Priestess, a witch, a ceremonial leader, a teacher, and artist. It is her calling to serve the greater community in the wise woman ways of healing, shamanic skills, and empowered feminine leadership.
My Story
I began a conversation with the wild forces of nature at a young age. I received a calling to serve, and the presence with whom I spoke would come on the wind, on wild nights, in storms, from the moon and stars, and the deep ocean near which I lived. This ongoing conversation is what has impacted me and guided me the strongest in my life. To try an understand this force more I have spent my life studying spirituality, animism, shamanism, and Northern European witchcraft. I have spent my life making medicines from the earth, listening, drawing, making music, and conversing with the life force where ever I find myself. The road has never been easy and many times I have felt off track as I struggled to find my way in contemporary culture: I have faced internal demons, addictions, hopelessness, and despair. I have walked in ignorance many times! But always this force would come back to remind me of who I am. I have come to this earth with a vision, and in that vision I see people and all beings living in a good way with each other on earth. This vision has kept me on a very directed path of life, and has inspired me to dig deeper, heal, unwind, and awaken from the collective slumber.
