About this Retreat
Your Guides
Welcome, I am Julie Gaia. My mission on earth is to connect people and plants.
I am a mother, mentor, seed saver, weaver, star seed, animist, land tender, and plant spirit medicine carrier.
My roots are Scandinavian, Celtic, and Germanic. I LOVE teaching people about plants and how to make medicines in their own kitchens.
Growing up on a dairy farm my mother taught me how to garden and prepare food. My father taught me to drink wild water and taste spearmint that grew by the creeks.
Herbalism was formally studied with Sage Maurer at the Gaia School in Vermont, and Pam Montgomery in California. I have always been a gardener no matter where life has taken me. For 10 years I created and tended a 1 acre permaculture ( fruit, herbs, bees, mushrooms, and plants) haven in the Carolinian forest. I LOVE tending to the plants growing them for community.
I started my herbalism journey when in 2004 in Saskatchewan. I worked with plants to heal my pneumonia and my lungs healed without antibiotics. Since then I have been dedicated to the plant path.
I created the Gaia Hive to share my love of plants and create a space for living mentorships on the land.
Ceremony/Dietas/Writing Retreats/ Mentorships/1:1 Healing Sessions and more!
I look forward to journeying with you.
